Double entendre title of the week. This book is from 2005 and appears to be from a UK or HK publisher but I really think someone should have told them.

You know who else is controversial and a lot of people don't like? Pot. Kettle.

The person in the tweet below was a teacher?

I know Bob LaFolette is an important midwestern Progressive Governor and he died 50 years before Mtv, but damn if he doesn't look like Beavis here. "Heh heh, fair tax policy, heh heh"

Love this part of her job ad: Operations Coordinator – Your Name Please include: Resume Cover Letter (must include the phrase "I am organized as hell" to demonstrate attention to detail)

So a parent could reasonably let an adult date their 15 year old daughter, but it's not reasonable to let her choose books she likes at the library, because they could unduly influence her immature brain? The hypocrisy burns.

I'm putting money away now to donate to AOC to primary Schumer in 2028.

Re: the end of IRS freefile: file thru snailmail paper, especially if you owe. You can use tax act or other tax prep software to do the math for you, and you just copy the amount before you get to the payment screen. If you aren't expecting a refund or aren't depending on it, slow walk your return.

For once, predictive text manages to be both hilarious and accurate (image on left).

Cindy tells me/ it looks like you were charged twice

Today I learned that the author of the very first "for dummies" title (DOS for dummies) is now a Mayor. I recognized his name since I've probably ordered several dozen of his computer books for public libraries I've worked for over the last 3 decades.

I would listen to this.

Now generate one where Cuomo comes to your door and instead of taking 52% of your candy, he sexually pesters your wife.

A rare example of indoor environmental mimicry, this specimen demonstrates the remarkable ability to disguise itself as a throw pillow

Wtf. I can't recommend you watch this, but I'm posting it as though it was cuddled milk and I'm asking you if youve ever smelled anything so awful.

Aw man, spent so much on weed gummies to give to unsuspecting trick or treaters that I'm not gonna make rent. kidding aside, best Halloween I spent in the 2010s was giving out candy in a semi-affluent neighborhood in Seattle my pal was renting in. We had box wine in solo cups for the parents.

For the last time, not-Goths, Zombie by the Cranberries and Ghost Town by the Specials aren't spooky Halloween songs.

I'd like to remind nice people that if you can afford it (ie your employer pays you for your jury service or you won't suffer for missing work), don't shirk jury duty. it's is a way you can make a direct and meaningful difference.

Spider-Marx, Spider-Marx, does whatever the proletariat can...

I'm just waiting for the Fox News spin when Grandpa finally gets in front of a live mike and says Poo poo pee pee repeatedly while grabbing his crotch.

I’m watching the World Series. I’m taking part o the Stanford prison experiment. I’m at the combination World Series/Stanford prison experiment

I feel nothing but empathy for Chris but man am I glad to be out of the hellscape that is modern dating.

Also, fun fact, there's no such thing as a man who likes to cook. that is why 99% of all single men died of starvation in March 2020 during covid restaurant closures. Love that fan boys continue to define MASS MEDIA sensations as niche. Wait till he finds out there are Swifties over 40.

Have we considered the idea that the candidate is a fan of the band Death in June? /taps earpiece I'm being informed that may be worse.

Hassled by cops in Portland? Don’t consent to any searches, don’t make any statements, affirmatively ask to speak to a lawyer. I’m an available local lawyer at 503-351-BEAR (Signal is cool at the same number.)

Just watched The Last Showgirl as an in-flight movie. It was good, but may also be part of a phenomenon I have not yet noticed: a film that looks like an A24 which is not an A24 film. Did anyone else think the same?

white house has joined bluesky click here to block all official us government accounts instantly bsky.app/profile/did:...

There's a image macro (not a 'meme') going around implying that the constitution says if Prez is impeached for treason, all his Cabinet and VP go, too. This is both wrong and so easy to fact check. If you can't look up the text of the Constitution before posting what you wish it said, get offline.

A US senator proposed a wealth cap of $50 million. Some economists said it would either result in little help for the poor, or would hurt the economy further. This was in *1934*. Can you imagine how much money 50 mill was then, and that there were people who had that much during the *Depression*?

Make it inflatable and Chicago could out-weird Portland.

Oh my God, they wed Kenny. You bastards!

Biz Mark E. Smith, is this anything?

If anyone can license and manufacture Unipiper and Dillon Pickle inflatable costumes soon, I think we have a replacement for Portland Santacon.

They should have released this on December 28, Alex Chilton's birthday:

Yeah, when I make my first billion, I'm getting a Blood Boy like Gavin Belson did (on HBO's Silicon Valley.) None of this halfway hydration therapy bull.

Go home, Xbox carcassonne, you are drunk and/or unfamiliar with the difference between cities and farms.

Best wrong answer at trivia tonight: Q: "What is the first name of cereal mascot Captain Crunch?" A: Charles Entertainment Crunch.

Lolz. Truth! 😹

I am really looking forward to seeing the rest of Ikea's "Everything Everywhere All at Once" multiverse collection. Or maybe there are people who see this candlestick and DON'T think it looks like hot dogs?

It's #caturday here in #WarRavagedPortland, where the sunspot is on that rug Chaz likes. Also he's feeling better now, with no vomiting in the last week.

"Put a bird on it" now replaced with "put tear gas on it".

Who got a set list after tonight's Sparks show? Me, a fan for 3 decades.

Library analytics staffer: "this algorithm pushes out popular youth bks like Pokémon, Minecraft, dogman to stock the shelves. If Dr. Penguin suddenly gets as popular, the algorithm should pick it up without us having to flag the title" Me: Is Dr. Penguin a real thing, because ngl i would read that.

If you were able to read the newspaper in the early 1980s, this scapegoating of Tylenol may give you some deja vu: It was a product tampering, Tylenol was blameless. They actually responded admirably with recalls and those foil seals that us Olds have difficulty peeling back.

We encountered the Bernd the Bread Night Loop while watching hotel TV while travelling in Europe last year. We had absolutely no context to Google it, nor any idea what the hell we were watching. Thank you, John Oliver, for finally answering the riddle of what this was.

At the vet with Chaz who has been vomiting often over the last few days. Most plausible explanation is thyroid issues that can be treated with meds.

This would be a good time to reach out to the Disney adults and Marvel fans in your life. Because this must feel like being a Potter fan 5 years ago and learning the creator of your fan world is terrible. I'm not gonna @ the person I'm thinking of but I love ya. Sorry this sucks.

It's no "see my loafers, former gophers", but it's close.

Assuming E. Jean Caroll ever gets her money, she and MacKenzie Scott should start a national newspaper. I already pay for The Onion and would be happy to pay for a newspaper run by women who know a thing or two about standing up to rich, venal men.
