This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

I’m watching the nipple suit Batman for the first time and this is a BLAST I’m having a great time.

really wonder how all of this would be perceived if llms had been marketed as “we made some under the hood improvements to siri so it can give more robust answers and better understand how you talk, plus you can goof around with making fun images” instead of “we are building a new kind of god”

Making tech changes right before Black Friday seems like an insane choice for a retailer to make?

Boyfriend made some truly phenomenal focaccia that I’ve turned into grilled cheeses to go with some tomato soup.

This is the clip I was looking for btw. Happy Bisexual Bob Belcher day to all who celebrate

these are fabulously joyful: do read them and cheer yourself up: "Hatless and barefoot under my parasol on a summer day, I watch a burly fellow working a well-pump and singing Suzhou folk songs. The water comes up in a sudden burst, like a spill of silver coins or a gust of snow"

Marijuana use MAY lead to performing an improv scene :(

I’ve gotten back into ACNH in advance of the update and their turkey day thing is DEEPLY charming. Everyone is wearing matching straw hats and dancing around the table.

My personal favorite dish this year was just these straight up baked sweet potatoes that you parbake in the microwave. I served them with cinnamon honey compound butter. It’s a tremendous method if you like sweet potatoes. www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/9903...

One of my boyfriend’s friends heard each of us separately tell a story about the water heater dying and said that she was struck by how complimentary each of us was about the other in our respective versions.

Happy Thanksgiving! Look on my works, ye mighty... and DESPAIR!

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

the Union should have hung every evil Confederate general and burned way more of the South and also how dare you associate me with New England Puritans

Do all dads text like they’re putting you on a PIP tomorrow or just mine?

Boyfriend, from corner: “Cerberus will let me pet him eventually. :(“

The crimped edges fell off but otherwise excited to eat this tomorrow.

Boss, the FASCISM.

Was not anticipating Max Miller going full “kill the rich” in this week’s video.

Naughty turkeys get the buttermilk sack.

I still think fondly about the guy who used to regularly show up to parties when I lived in New York with 200 chicken McNuggets.

i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

Onion soup on Christmas Eve and often lasagna on Christmas but definitely a Christmas braid, a tradition that seems to have emerged from the ether.

I have never wanted anything as much as my cat wants to eat and then vomit up a leaf.

My old bike is thankfully not impacted by the clusterfuck rad battery situation, but someone on Reddit posted this aftermarket battery option and I'm really fascinated by it: infinite-battery.com/products/inf... the batteries are such a weak spot for longevity on the bikes

this is a deeply unsettling fact to have learned at 1am

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

inshallah

it is very funny that it feminizes you to admit that you are enjoying something because it's "good" so the entire industry had to collectively work out a secondary characteristic of beer to describe

I bet the first time Martin Van Buren heard “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too”, he knew he was absolutely turbo-fucked

Legends walk among us

There is a guy who's absolutely the undisputed like forum king of the r/Laundry subreddit and I want a deep dive on his deal so bad.

Getting back into nail lacquer since I know the stuff in gelx and dip isn't like, great for you, and it's no doubt less bad but also nothing in seche vite is found in the bible.

Katie Wilson has been elected Seattle's next mayor www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The “fun fact” and “nickname” sections on the mother bear’s profile are so unimaginably bleak.

Found a good use for some chicken sausages that were in the freezer.

My boyfriend is from Alaska and it is extremely funny how little of a shit he gives about the aurora conceptually.

what's truly hilarious about this is if you ask actual kindergarten teachers what is the best thing i can do to prepare my prek kid? and it’s all "able to put on coat and shoes alone, knows how to stand in line, how to wait their turn, how to follow directions"

I’m very jealous of everyone with aurora! nothing here.

zofran is a miracle drug and I should be able to buy it at 7-eleven. celsius with zofran

they don’t even teach math in preschool? sure it’s cool your four year old can count to ten, but his kindergarten teacher is gonna have a hard time with him if he doesn’t learn the most important lesson of preschool: no biting.

This is absolutely the case. Tech Guys of previous generations, to the extent that that category can be read back into the 19th and 20th centuries, were shockingly well-read by modern standards

Feels slightly fucked up that the unipiper is hot

absolutely no question in my mind he's married to a chatbot

Okay the yarvin post is also great

This is such a bummer, I had hoped they were doing a little better.

This did in fact prompt me to finally start paying dues. Out chapter saws up trees that fall down and gives the wood to people on picket lines for fires.
