This is the greatest cooperative effort from 6 entirely different people I have ever seen

Well, I was hoping there'd be some more news, but at this point I'd rather continue managing a cabaret club--I mean, prevent an all-out war between the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance

I realized earlier today that lately I haven't seen the manager who "coached" me for asking her to help me with the line and cover my break... possibly since that happened? She wasn't on the schedule the last three days. I meant to see if she was even on the weekly schedule, but I forgor

If you're going to try to trick me into thinking that the $40 Doc Martens are $10 or that the $100 Nikes are $30, A) Forget it B) You probably shouldn't leave the original tags in your cart

I had a guy come up with a whole bunch of pillows and sheets and blankets, told his girlfriend that he's "sleepmaxxing" Do you think it was more embarrassing for me or him when I asked if he was bed-pilled?

Okay, just a few more quick work thoughts to fire off

hearing that while sitting on the toilet of Air Force One, the President created an "airlock" that pulled the insides out of his body like that one "Itchy & Scratchy" episode. He's fine, but in a great deal of discomfort, as doctors try to stuff him back inside.

Wait, did it really happen, or are we all just crossing our fingers?

I'm sure I've said before that I find it baffling when customers buy stuff and then immediately turn around and shop for more, but I think I had a first tonight: A family of 3 had a big purchase, and all 3 went back and made extra individual purchases. The daughter even did it twice.

One thing I remember about Beltrán is, a reporter once asked him during the 2012 all-star break what it was like to finally win the World Series with the Cardinals the year before. He was not with the Cardinals the year before.

Not that I'm able to return underwear anyway, but man, nothing makes me less inclined to help a customer than having them try to throw their weight around. "I'm a small business owner, I work right next to your other location, they know me there by name, I spend a lot of money here!"

the world you grew up in no longer exists

Playing Yakuza Kiwami 2 again and I've fallen into the same trap I did the first time, which is that the Cabaret Club Grand Prix is extremely distracting because it's easy *and* lucrative.

Mayor Mamdani is already controlling the rent so well he's living in this guy's head for free

I wonder how much longer until "vibe coding" gets seen as the pejorative that it always should have been.

Incidentally, I can't believe they couldn't recognize the face of Boruto's Dad

Tried to briefly explain the premise of Death Note to my mom (thanks, Jeopardy!) and I guess I didn't do the best job at first because she was like, "I dunno, the kid doesn't sound THAT bad..." (It's fine, don't worry, I did clarify that Light kills a lot more people than death row inmates.)

I'm not saying this lady used AI to come up with this analogy, but I am saying she's an executive at some podcasting AI company and """wrote""" a children's bedtime story with ChatGPT

Alright, YouTube algorithm, you win this round youtu.be/WWeiQfWkceg

Replaced the cable, which took more effort than I anticipated. Can't tell if it's actually working any better, though, because the gateway's working at like 1% speed. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Kinda sucks to hear that they're delisting the Yakuza 3 remaster when Kiwami 3 comes out. I don't agree with them delisting the original versions of 0 and Kiwami 1, but I think you could at least make the argument that the new versions are still fundamentally the same. Not for Kiwami 3, though.

Abolishing ICE is the compromise position imho

Having another one of those nights at work where customers don't have any fucking idea how to wait to be called over

Please do not confuse Horses 2025 (2026) with HORSES (2025).

The absolute accuracy of this.

this is beautiful in so so many ways.

Hi it's me, author of "Fuck Unions: Why Dems Need To Destroy Those Dirty Sweaty Hogpeople" back with my latest book, "Gone Woke: How Democrats Lost Their Connection To The Working Class"

This is society lately. California passed a law to replace underground gas tanks in 2014 and a bunch of operators waited til the deadline to do anything. Now there's a right-wing hysteria about gas station closures, complaints of the costs, etc, all nonsense. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Remember when he showed up to the World Series parade in 2012 in a shirt that said "I Just Look Illegal"?

Oh yeah, so, with the start of the new year, I got a raise that they didn't tell me about. Are you ready for this? I went from making $19.78 an hour to... Drum roll, please! ... $19.8098 an hour!

I don't have any problem being accommodating to customers, but I don't appreciate being treated like a dumbass for not taking "I can't carry heavy bags so please keep them light" to mean "I can't carry anything, period."

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

tired: i got ghosted wired: there occurred a refusal of the call

Continuing my journey through Path of Radiance, and I swear to god, every one of my units is allergic to gaining any offense.

Sometimes you take a nap and have a dream about someone featured in a human interest piece on the news, and that someone turns out to be someone you knew on the internet in a past life, doing something they once mentioned in an offhand way and being successful with it.

Finally... A t-shirt with the properties of both rubber and gum.........

people will call you an ideological purist for saying this guy shouldn't be the next democratic presidential candidate

Scratching my head because I'm doing some connection tests on my consoles and finding that ethernet is somehow significantly worse than wifi on my PS4. Like, less than half the speed. But when I put the same cable in my Switch 2, it's faster, as expected???

There's that and that time when an utility company was at fault for causing a lot of wildfires that burned down cities and Newsom rejected the BILLION DOLLAR settlement because they donated to him

All this, plus: Hey, remember the time in 2023 when California legislators passed a bill to restrict the price of 30 days of insulin to a $35 copay, and Newsom vetoed it in favor of some plan where the state would make insulin itself? It only became available this month, and it's $55.

I am, as ever, disconcerted by the number of people still shopping with just a few minutes before closing.

Rolling two thoughts around my head: 1. The Dodgers signing everyone is a function of the rest of the league’s ownership being content to siphon money out of their teams without spending in turn, even via deferred deals, the most team-friendly deal imaginable 2. The Dodgers can eat a bag of shit
