Praying for the Great Gerontocratic Die-off like the meteor just hit Chicxulub

Are they doing the ALX fireworks in the pouring rain?

a doctor on the local news just said “you’re more likely to get hit by a car than have a pulmonary embolism from this procedure” and uh…..maybe don’t get fillers

can't believe Tudor's Biscuit World hasn't put duck heart tacos on their menu yet

I guess we have until Labor Day before gas prices are going to dominate the headlines again

Will the rapist stop his campaign when asked nicely? Hard to predict

Finale in Charleston, WV. Total smoke show

Terrible air quality downwind of the 20 minute fireworks in Charleston WV so good luck DC

Spotting another drone camping in the LAANC zone while I smugly fly mine into the zero-grid with an FAA waiver

They’re gonna J6 the Great American State Fair

“We have to restrict food assistance because poor parents will waste it on junk food for their kids like…fruit and potatoes and onions” -West Virginia Republicans

Online vibes, rancid. IRL vibes, snoozy and cool

10x more people work in the solar and wind energy than coal

Because we live in a bizarro world, our chihuahua hates the heat but our big guy loves baking in 100 degree heat on our south facing patio

this is the first year I can remember where NPS hasn't put up plastic fencing along the GWMP/MVT? right?

there are more people currently smoking outside my office building's entrance than are on the mall

Acquaintance of mine in WV posted this on FB. WV is bringing in the “worlds largest mobile Ferris wheel” for America 250 and it’s being assembled by Rent-a-Center 🥴

why yes, yes I did just order a physical copy of Bloodborne GOTY Edition, which is literally the only PS exclusive game I've ever purchased

Boeing: Absolutely right sir here is $10 million more for your PAC

cool that our military planning is not just a bunch of racist stereotypes, but racist stereotypes about the wrong country

okay @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov we're just gonna need to hear an unequivocal "no" to ANY nominees to replace him. None of this "we'll give them a fair shake in committee" bullshit

After careful analysis of cereal pricing I have determined that no sale of smaller cereal sizes will beat the value of the Giant Size box. BOGO on regular sizes? Nope. $4.99 for the family size? Nope. Giant Size is always cheapest

Very curious how the pilot determined this since the odds of a pilot being able to see a consumer-sized drone are incredibly low. A plane landing at Newark a few weeks ago hit a light pole that tore a hole in the fuselage and the pilots didn't even realize it

They’re calling it the Balkanization of Alexandria (car with Bosnian flags parked by the AKA, er excuse me Satire hotel)

Yes charging an EV is slower than gas but I also was able to put my car on the charger, walk to Chewish and grab a bagel, and walk back just as my charge was finishing

thing with these videos is that there are very few US chains that aren't global at this point. I was just in Tbilisi, Georgia and drove past multiple Popeyes. Then I walked past one in the Istanbul airport on my way to the Shake Shack that's there

JFC what the fuck just buzzed old town

I’ve been to several countries at the bottom of the various Democracy indices and the one time I witnessed anything this petty was in fuckin’ Uzbekistan and I’ve been told even they have chilled out quite a bit since I was there

Taking joy in the small things, like going on a weeklong overseas work trip with 20 hours of travel at each end and finally every one of my various electronic devices is USB-C

Stepped into the Harris Teeter elevator and just as the doors started closing the power went out. The power came right back on but needless to say I took the stairs down

while I have forsaken many of the views I held as a youth, I clearly remember first being exposed to UFC by guys from my fraternity in the late 1990s and thinking "wow this is extremely stupid"

Why am I getting ads for Airbus military cargo drones on Instagram, like this is something I’m gonna buy with Apple Pay

if the limited attention I pay to my wife's viewings of The Valley has given me an accurate understanding of that show's geography, then it seems safe to assume that most of the cast of that show, certainly most of the men, are Trump/Pratt voters

Proper tethering is an oft-overlooked element of balloon usage

I write for a living and sit on a team of 8 people. By far the worst writer on the team is the one with a PhD, so this actually tracks with my dim view of Ai

“You’re creating a hostile environment work environment” I mumble at my office’s summer intern whose mere presence reminds me how fucking old I am

There is no group of people more maliciously ignorant of drone regulations than fuckin cops. Just lie and make up laws because they just like to order people around with no accountability

Trump take music festivals that raise money for addiction recovery programs

When my mother-in-law died they had her SS payments turned off before she was even cremated

This is basically the lineup of a weekly summer music series at the fun little outdoor venue in a 35,000 resident town in southeast Ohio

Thinking of replying just to feel something, anything

I don’t fully understand what Instagram Instants are and I refuse to figure it out

ISTG every hotel cluster/car-centric area of every shitty mid-size city (in this case, near the OKC airport) does this wavy sidewalk shit and it makes me irrationally angry

Gas is “only” $3.88 in Oklahoma so still seems like the effects of shit are still lagging a bit

Cc: @sarahbagley.bsky.social Wouldn’t be sad if y’all at least looked into this type of thing!

Driving a rental car outside of OKC on an *80 mph* speed limit freeway and can just see the gas gauge dropping in real time. 80mph is an absurd speed limit

Feeling drunk with power having had Don Beyer in my OrangeTheory class two days in a row. Basically an insider now

Scrolling through movies on Prime and King Ralph is listed under the category “historical comedy” and I have some questions
