As the daughter of two teachers, I co-sign. Mom taught me how to make her a bourbon and water when I was around 10 😂😂😂

Teachers should get paid more to work less and I'm not even kidding. I know how I was when I was a kid, if I had to put up with me I would drink too.

I have spent decades in bars with hard drinking professions (journalists and comedians mostly) but nobody holds a candle to school teachers

Man Rick Rude was so good. And I forget that Warrior could be carried to decent matches, not by just Macho Man in 7 and Hogan (!) in 6. He has a nice powerslam (then proceeds to concuss Rude with a shitty German). Heel Bret would have made magic with him www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMhQ...

First the Strait of Hormuz now Turtle WoW? Iran has gone too far

The Strait of Hormuz is open, but first you must answer my riddles three:

I'm gonna start doing car food reviews and vomit at the end of each one

hmm sounds like someone is justifying a third computer

Why do I have two computers, all I do is play WoW classic and watch old wrestling videos I could do this on a laptop

Man, Dr. Dre got punked by Snow

Siri play Informer by Snow

Why do people show clips from Benny Johnson's show? Benny Johnson is a literal traitor. He was taking $400,000/month from the Kremlin in the run-up to the 2024 election. He hates this country and enriches himself through our destruction.

I thought I was a JRPG weeb but the other day I was behind a car and its rear window had (several) 8-bit Final Fantasy characters. And their license plate was KUPO. Sometimes you just have to clap.

Martha is great, always v kind and professional and extremely funny! And follow @briangaar.bsky.social, he's also v funny!

Saw Project Hail Mary. After it was over, a kid ran out of the theater followed by another one (in socks) yelling "GIVE ME MY SHOES BACK" and I forget how much dudes rock

The new season of "Euphoria" premieres this weekend. In the show, Martha Kelly plays a terrifying drug dealer with a deadpan delivery. In real life, she’s a deadpan comedian who cut her teeth in Texas. thebarbedwire.com/2025/03/26/m...

I interviewed Euphoria star @marthakelly.bsky.social about the show, being in a Spider-Man movie, and her time as a standup in Texas. She was voted Funniest Person in Austin and we still very much claim her! thebarbedwire.com/2025/03/26/m...

LIFE (April 5, 1968)

Congrats to every member of the WHCA eagerly lining up to schmooze with him over hors d'oeuvres

it also has this one

NEVER FORGET

Anyway glad we didn’t vote for the lesser of two evils WHEW!

FOUND IT.

I miss seeing random aunts in Louisiana who’d pretend to have a heart attack after my parents told them how old I was

I'm sick of television looking cinematic. Give them the best writers, the best actors, and a budget of seventeen cents plus whatever lint they have in their pockets. In short, I want 1970s BBC literary adaptations.

Perfect no notes

The real heroes -- and absolute coolest dudes -- of "Star Wars: Episode I" are the Sand People who hang out in the canyon to shoot at podracers

What if she was just figuratively

RIP Pam Bondi, we will never see you or a 50k Dow ever again

I wonder if @briangaar.bsky.social has this…

Serial had one good season now it’s just someone’s fuckup cousin

New rules for THC, banning much of what shops currently sell, go into effect today in Texas. It sucks!!! thebarbedwire.com/2026/03/31/t...

I hate when (white) ppl put their kids in a Wu-Tang onesie because I remember back when yall would've called the cops if your teens was listening to that. Colonization ruins everything

HARDCORE SF

Very smart to do this in an election year!

Son in this house we don’t pay for cosmetics, we grind thousands of hours for items that are marginally more powerful in raids that our online friends will be impressed by

The reason Gen X is so funny is because we had the best training: Simpsons, Pee Wee's Playhouse, but most of all we got the Stooges and the entire Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera catalog every Saturday morning. Our background is impeccable.

Never in the mood to hear the most amoral people I went to high school with talk about how much they love Jesus now

I cannot convey how life changing friends sleepovers were for media consumption for an evangelical kid in the 90s. Top of the list was the friend who had so many early Simpsons episodes on a tape. My memory is it went forever, me watching until the morning while everyone else fell asleep.

I was a freshman in HS when they came out. Didn't care about the Simpsons until much later. Had a friend that loved Get a Life - I thought it was dumb, but there's an episode that has stuck with me for 35+ years now. "Your word is PANTS." "K..."

I don't think anything has affected me more in life than being a kid in 89-90 when Simpsons and Get a Life premiered. It's Gen X so nobody cares now but that was like a bomb going off.

My sources say the death penalty, for espionage, being considered for Clavicular. I am pro-life and take no pleasure in reporting this.

I have to know what phishing email he opened to make this happen

I think we gave filming podcasts a fair enough shake and can stop now!

If you look at medical advice subreddits as a real-time indicator of our collective state (and I do!), America is covered in a mysterious rash and shitting blood.
