Pictured: Someone who actually won a Nobel Peace Prize

Back from Nashville. Sunny, but cold down there. Traffic was a breeze compared to my last visit in November.

'What screams "I peaked in high school"?' Talking forlornly about high school was "the best time of their life", and seriously wishing that it never ended, or they could go back to that time. I do not understand that at all.

Once more! "What was the 1st big news event you remember as a kid?" 1. Mount St. Helens. 2. The attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. 3. The Falkland Islands war. Somehow, I totally missed John Lennon's murder and didn't know about that until I was a little older.

From the Ripley S.A. article on Wikipedia: "The company manages six shopping malls, three in Chile and four in Peru." ...the math ain't mathing here. I'd fix it, but I can no longer do it anonymously, and don't want to set up an account just to correct minor mistakes.

Is it bad that I kinda want someone close to him to say that Martians invaded just to steal votes from him?

I had my car washed today. And I get to ruin all that on Thursday morning when I go on a day trip to Nashville.

"What would you do if a 1000000 dollars were to appear on your bank account right now?" I'd be making a call to my bank asking them if some major mistake on their end had been made earlier.

me: *stretching for 10 minutes* wife: you goin for a run? me: nah gotta write something in cursive

I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine.

You can't make this shit up, folks.

"What’s the worst second-hand embarrassment you’ve felt from someone else’s actions?" Once at a restaurant, I was seated near a pair of teenagers on what was absolutely a very awkward first (and presumably LAST) date, judging from the girl's body language.

What an absolute farce.

I don't believe it. They're actually talking about "ring around the collar" on Reddit tonight. I swore we all eradicated that issue years ago!

i have written this a few times now but the reason JD Vance spends all day posting is that they barely tolerate his presence in the white house and have locked him out of every decision of consequence. he is basically unemployed

Things weighing on my mind this morning: 1. Those people who profess to be religious because they think it's a loophole to make up for their horrible behavior or the way they treat others. 2. Being told "You need to smile more".

That moment when someone else who has a regular upload schedule to YouTube misses a day or week, and I end up wondering if they had died unexpectedly like Adam the Woo did last month. So far, no signs that something horrible happened to this other guy.

"Dudes be named Justin but they outside". It took me a minute to get that, and I'm deeply ashamed. 🤣

Legit thought this was The Onion

🤣🤣🤣

Another day, another "Why are you single?" thread on Ask Reddit. I would swear that people who keep reposting the same topics over and over are hoping for one specific response, and they aren't getting it. Or, repetition of subjects is just a huge running gag on the platform.

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture) It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

Anyone else like me, and wishing they could stop caring, and tune out all of the bad news that comes out seemingly hourly nowadays? That MIGHT require stepping away, or deleting all social media entirely...and then, I would have next to no idea what's going on in the world. Catch-22.

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

"Remember the early Biden years when you didn’t have that feeling of dread checking the news every day, wondering how things are somehow always worse?" Not really. The media was still giving Clownstick far more attention for his stupid proclamations and threats over that time.

"Who's the most famous person you've met?" A tie between Drew Carey and Michael Palin from Monty Python.

From the latest thread on Reddit about the first news story someone remembered from their childhood. I was hoping for a reference to the Negativland EP from 1991 and the uncleared sampling controversy. "These guys are from England, and who gives a shit?" --Casey Kasem

So, Greenland, huh? Was there a massive shortage of ice (not ICE) that I wasn't privy to?

"I can remember every lyric to a song from 2005, but I can't remember why I walked into the kitchen". Join the club. Billions strong and no signs of slowing down.

Just because it looks like a simple project from looking at a map doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Remember that one? TIL that the song was released in 1969. I swore for decades that it was recorded in the early sixties by an R&B group.

BOWLING FOR TOAST

[courtroom] LAWYER: Whoa Black Betty? And may I remind you that you are under oath. WITNESS: Bam-ba-lam. COURTROOM: *murmur murmur* JUDGE: Order! Order! One more outburst and I will clear this courtroom! LAWYER: I have nothing further.

"What’s an impulse buy that’s now just collecting dust but you’d never admit you regret?" The Sony minidisc recorder I got in 1998 that was intended to be used for my radio studies during college. It was quite expensive. And I used it exactly twice before it went back into the box.

"What is the exact moment you knew a relationship was over before you actually broke up?" My last girlfriend went from being very social and chatty via text messages to just giving me some one or two word responses, to the point where I felt like I was trying way too hard to keep the convo going.

"People who work with customers. What’s the dumbest thing a customer has ever said to you?" By default, it would be "You need to smile more". The real answer, though, are the nearly completely incomprehensible questions I get from customers that almost always throw me off really badly.

My Facebook memories revealed that a year ago today, where I live was impacted by a pretty serious winter storm. I remember. Somehow, I never lost power, but still missed two days of work. Had it been just snow, it would have been easier to deal with.

"Why aren’t people allowed to post or comment in r/conservative?" ...I'm really not seeing a problem here.

On Reddit, someone suggested "culture shock" as something a person should experience at least once in their lives. I went through that twice in my teenage years: moving from central Indiana to New Jersey in 1990, and then from NJ to central Illinois in 1992. And I didn't cope with it well at all.

I deleted my Facebook dating profile once more late last night, and every time I pick up my phone to visit the app, I still have the urge to click on the dating page. This is going to take some time to get used to. And as often as I've deleted the thing before, I should be well acquainted here.

An irony long lamented by the singer: Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman says POTUS doesn't realize he's "the person who I’m screaming about in the song on all three counts" consequence.net/2025/08/john...

It wasn't about the damn drug boats. It never was.

"1996 was thirty years ago". SHUT. UP.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

"What’s the craziest piece of high school drama you didn’t learn about until after you graduated?" My graduating class from the first high school I attended in New Jersey had their senior trip taken away from them. Every other class got a week long getaway to Walt Disney World.
