More importantly: what's your favorite Weird Al style parody? Mine has always been "Generic Blues," although "You Make Me" is a masterpiece. (Conventional wisdom would say it's "Dare to the Stupid," but don't you dare bring convention into a Weird Al conversation.)

I just realized the point was intergenerational warfare, which makes sense. Anyway: the answer's "Eat It"

According to the study’s authors, COVID vaccination was effective in all ALL groups and in persons with OR without major chronic conditions. The study has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED. • www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... 🧪🧵⬇️

lowkey i find this to be one of the most viscerally upsetting things elon musk has ever done

Ask not for whom the Time is Morbin' It Morbs for thee 😔

Truly one of our greatest holy days

I'm old enough to remember when John Sununu was forced to resign as Bush Sr.'s chief of staff after he traveled to a rare stamp auction at Christie's auction house in New York City from Washington in a government limousine.

Democrats are pushing a bill to ban "dynamic pricing" in stores. Biden was planning an executive order on it & Trump scrapped it. Dynamic pricing is *extremely* unpopular. gizmodo.com/dems-want-to...

Also, nobody is holding back when it comes to how much the Trump government is not getting a presumption of regularity. Here is how Judge Rufe's decision on Trump's attempt to erase history starts:

😭 🙏

www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie... This is very well done but I’ll add that he was one of the few actors in history who never lied on camera There was a complete authenticity to his performances that is unparalleled He simply is An achievement that is Herculean on a set Tender Mercies is ❤️

Had a revelation today that Terry Gilliam's work really hits hardest when you're like 16 but think you're like "Very Adult"

I don't know if this is canon, but Nirvana's "In Bloom" seems to be about when CHUDs listen to music with themes they don't understand and act contrary to those themes, and that's something I, ironically, never clocked for like 30 years.

THIS is how I find out that the world is just now turning on to Montreal bagels, the superior* bagel? *Yeah no I know I just like them better

Best? Er. Um. Ugh. I'm just posting my list of favorites again.

I need people to start believing the people have power and not the establishment, because it's this shitty self-fulfilling prophecy in some circles: "Ten million people agree with me, but A Democrat Whose Name I Know doesn't, so we're getting fucked by the elites again."

"Did you see this thing that Crunkbomber said on this 5 hour stream about Guntslap97—" no I have self-respect!!!! shut up!!!!!

Probably once a year when I was on Twitter, I'd just break down and say something like "Why can't I just live in a country with people who vote for the people who don't hate us?" But the info environment is horrendous, now. Maybe it was then, and I didn't know. Anyway, now it's more like:

This is about Star Trek: Discovery, but I also just realized the other day that the reason I say Attack of the Clones was fine is based on two scenes I really liked and ignoring every single part I hated, of which there are like 5 times as many.

TELL THE TRUTH. CARE WHAT’S TRUE. Lies are poisonous and you’ll pay a price for telling them. And someone will always be a better liar than you.

Some fucked, evil stuff here folks

Once I smacked a kid across the face who was picking on me, and then one day his mom was really shitty to me out of nowhere, and then I told that story twelve years later and someone said, "Obviously he would tell his mom," and that's when I realized other kids told their parents about their life.

Accidentally took twice as much gummy as I thought. About to watch Tubi. Pray for me. (Actually no please pray for something important.)

If this sentence makes sense to you, log off. I don't know until when. It's gotta be a while though, right?

We're out for Valentine's Day and I think this dude's girl disappeared during the date 😬

True enough, but remember when Biden *and* Harris literally said they were going to lower grocery prices, and independents didn't listen and Republicans said it was state-sponsored tyranny?

Stephanie Ruhle: This bridge will take toll money away from another bridge that connects Michigan and Canada, and that bridge is owned by a big Trump donor who, on Monday, had a meeting with Howard. Lutnick. Immediately following that meeting, poof, we no longer want this new bridge.

"Discomfort is not danger" should not be a message anyone needs, but they keep needing it.

No response I could have to this is printable

While kinda circle-crashing-out with some coworkers today, I unexpectedly found the phrase coming out of my mouth, "Everything's gotta be so dire, and I just wanna feel joy." And yeah. I think that's it. For some people, not even one thing is allowed to be OK. Nothing can be happy. Untenable.

There are thousands of threads on this app of people explaining the way things actually work to people who then blame them for living within reality. It's so senseless. It's an incredible waste of everyone's goddamned time.

I think this is happening and it's detestable and depressing.

I think "Wow Fuck Tron" is my favorite meme that is so niche, even the niche people who used to use it don't even use it anymore, and which would be really boring ever to explain

Well. That’s evil. I don’t have anything creative to add here.

So for context: - Invitational tournament, so everyone here is an experienced player with every reason to go HAM - Those two were exactly tied and both knew if they didn't bet it all, the other likely would - Alison had less than half their score. This was her smartest, best play. And it worked!

I have so little respect for Twitch and streaming in general that I can't really even participate in half the discourse properly (laudatory, love this for me)

Hey I found the baby killers they're always looking for.

No razorblade is rusty enough for these times

Any man o 👏 mine Better disagree 👏 When I say another 👏 Poaster's More memetic than me 👏 And I can be 👏 late For a trend, that's fine 👏 But he better be on👏line

OK but there are 5 things on this list I don't want to eat but I *would* if you prepared them, and one (snails) that I only ever see prepared immorally (escargot). This isn't quite anything.

I thought this was a fake quote. It's not. It's verbatim. From the head of the Health & Human Services Dept. The guy in complete control of Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, the CDC, the FDA & the NIH. This is what 77.2 million Trump voters & ~85 million 3rd party/non-voters enabled.

The ONLY thing I can figure out is that this woman incorrectly learned a different slur (the gay slur from Beavis and Butthead with Fart in it) many years ago, believed it was actually this phrase, and then decided to start saying it? But who the fuck can tell anymore.

The Vice President is pals with a Nazi and no one in the national political press seems to think this is a major story

In case you’re wondering if whistling and cameras work, today when agents were coming out of Burger King and I was at the door directly in front of them as they walked out they went “oh fuck” and quickly pulled up their masks and ran back to their car before driving off.

I was granted $25,000 in student loan relief by President Joe Biden and it was struck down by Trumps 2016 supreme court who were put solely in place to protect pedophiles.

There's probably nothing more depressing to me politically, on (roughly) our side, than the phenomenon where every single time someone bashes AOC from the left, it's because she chose to work with someone instead of vice signaling by shitting on them.

If you’re a Pennsylvanian who thinks the human warehouses ICE wants to construct in our state are immoral and intolerable — as well as an insult to the memory of the immigrants who built our state — PLEASE sign the petition here: c.org/HkRJXBRNkD

Quote from a former coworker that I wrote down for posterity: "Right out of high school, you should have to work every Customer Service job there is -- bartender, waiter, retail -- and if you're still rude after that, you just go to jail."
