QUARTERLY REMINDER: Never EVER talk to police—especially without a lawyer present. If you encounter cops who demand info other than what can be gleaned from your ID card, you’re to clearly, calmly express your right to counsel then KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. Seriously, you guys. Ok, Merry Christmas🎄🎁 🎅🏽

In other words, a state legislature could pass and governor could sign, a law that outlaws the medical prescription and sale of any and all forms of birth control and there’s nothing anyone could do about it.

“They would never actually do this” *blinks in Negro, looks around to blink at some blinking in Indigenous peoples * we turn to blink at someone blinking in Chicana , and someone blinking in Filipino and trans* Us chatting in the lobby about HOW THEY WOULD ABSOLUTELY DO THIS

My wife: Don't get me anything fpr Christmas, I haven't got you anything. Me:

Listen to my friend @QasimRashid.com. He knows what he’s talking about. #racism #CharlieKirk #TurningPoint #Trump @jd-vance-1.bsky.social

I think it's time for a live action movie based on 'Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels' Hear me out on this casting: Jenna Ortega as Brenda Chance, Sabrina Carpenter as Taffy Dare, Ayo Edebiri as Dee Dee Sykes, and Peter Dinklage as Captain Caveman

A very merry WHEN IS BINS season to all who celebrate.

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day

If you're at a packed supermarket and you see a harassed mum with children hanging off the trolley, you can say "you're doing a good job mum!" and it will perk her up for like, the next two aisles.

“We noticed you looked at collagen supplements briefly. Given your age, we’re guessing you’re a wrinkly old bastard so why not buy our collagen?” “We heard you tell your friend you think you’re going bald. Buy our overpriced hair growth magic beans” *repeats endlessly* My current Facebook feed.

It’s that time of the year when we celebrate one of James Stewart’s best roles. He was never better than as incorruptible cop John Hartigan in Sin City (1952)

31-year-old college dropout Charlie Kirk gained popularity, traipsing around the nation, visiting college campuses—debating 18 to 22-year-olds. If Charlie Kirk ever actually “debated” someone good at debating, much less someone his own age, it’d’ve gone something like this:

started / going

The bad news for all the "Trump will die soon, it's ok" crowd...

I lost my job, I can’t afford to buy a single Barbie to gift my daughter, and a spiral ham costs 50% more than it did last year. But at least everyone is saying “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays” now.

They are all the same.

If you find🎄 hard due to grief,trauma,family stuff,wonky self esteem,neurodivergence &/or an urge to throw Christmas down the loo, become a reclusive pagan & maybe make a small hat out of mistletoe at a push,then hi,me too.Here are some good twigs & I’m sending gentle thoughts. It’s only a few days🌿

42 cathedrals. 5 survivors. May the odds and renovations be ever in your favour.

If you haven't seen it, treat yourself to the official music video for Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, which Brenda Lee released at the age of 78, featuring her lip synching to the song she recorded when she was just 13 An absolute Queen www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFsZ...

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

If you don't cringe with horror when thinking of how you conducted many of your personal interactions from ages 15-25 you probably lack any degree of self-awareness.

"Tonight, Matthew, I'm gonna be a Woolworth's Christmas tree from 1975."

This took me far too long to make. If only there was some kind of machine could've done it for me…

And now…a ‘joke’. When is a Christmas sweet treat like the KGB? When it’s a MINSK SPY…*coughs*

I like to walk up to folks who think they're invincible and straight up vince the shit out of 'em.

When a payment is supposed to come through "before the end of the month" 😒
