Solvang hack unlocked: grab a slice of Sicilian Pizza at Stica in Santa Ynez before trying to surmount the traffic jam into Solvang. Especially before the Jule Parade. 👍🏼

I’m pretty good at making my own homebrew masala chai, but I’m also open to shortcut hacks. Halfway between chai and earl grey, this is a good alternative:

I don’t necessarily disagree with @captmarkkelly.bsky.social on this point, but I don’t think Trump cares if you’re green as Gazoo if your rich, powerful, “a winner”, or “high IQ”. I think a more apt synonym for 3rd world is “poor”.

Did I just see an elderly woman dutifully scan all her items into the self checkout and walk out without completing payment? No I didn’t, and neither did you.

“Palpatine and Anakin are Dead” (To be fair, I had no idea he was involved in the screenplay for Brazil, or any of dozens of other credits, because I am an illiterate cretin)

Idk but it works wonders when you’re awake.

Fun bonus fact: magical thinking about science and sexuality is actually the number one underlying cause of huge problems in most people’s lives 🤗 #SexWorkIsWork #DecrimNow #GetTested

I’m the monster at the end of this book. (1/2)

Customer: “I completed the order but missed adding two things. How do I add them?” Me: “if you completed the order, short answer is, there’s nothing we can do” Customer: “ok… what’s the long answer?”

Altman: I’ve lost an electron here somewhere. Interviewer: are you sure? Altman: I’m positive.

Cultural footnote: I grew up in a time where it was unacceptable for men to hit women but not vice versa. It’s never ok to use violence. But deep in my mind, the only correct response to what Trump did comes from the Muppet Show: hiii-yahhh. youtu.be/u4TFedidkpk?...

I enjoyed this video, despite its pretty minor mistakes, but man, the pace is just way too fast to absorb. That said, I’m happy to see a science video not just steal an existing script: hers is a genuinely new presentation of the concepts. youtu.be/BUV8XYaZ4EU?...

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I tried subtly asking my father in law, to no avail, if living through watergate and all was like this. Because all this *points around* seems just full blast bananapants.

The greatest mistake the Muppets ever made was making the Chef Swedish

Jokes aside, I really enjoyed death by lightning.

The “christian nation” folks thinking is defective, there never has been “one” path to righteousness and it’s not as simple as being a jesus believer. 🧵

Every time he claims inflation is down, problems are a democrat hoax, it’s a democrat shutdown, this song plays in my head.

Here’s to hoping NNN has lost its traction this year. It’s such a slog each year watching people defend toxic poisonous anti science beliefs as “just fetish play.” As though No Fap and NNN were just a sex positive kink community. Instead of grifters and predators hijacking the shame of young men.

Just a reminder that you dont have to do anything you dont want to do. No Nut November is just an idea. If you want to cum on your own or with someone else, you can! Pleasure is Powerful and Healing. Prioritize Pleasure.

When you have #BPH, every month is #NoPissNovember #SadTrombone lol

Man, we’re just speedrunning the gilded age part 2 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilded_... , not the hbo show) cause people care more about “social issues” like don’t let illegals live rather than, like, not starving or dying themselves.

In principle: yeah. But I’m really loath to see members of “our team” badmouth our team in front of other govts, even if they’re right.

90% of what I do at work could probably be replaced with the dipping bird toy. It’s the other 10% that I imagine is why they don’t fire me.

Our health insurance for a married couple through my employer costs about $1500/mo, and went up $20 Oct 1 when my annual plan renewed. I’m genuinely terrified at the prospect of leaving CA because my premium would be something ~2200/month, and wouldn’t be Kaiser.

Breakfast with a side of…

Call me naive, but don't you think we've reached peak marketing capability when they're making "cookies and creme" flavored oreos? Don't get me started on generative ai that can simulate a turing machine.

I’m sad about the woman who wrote “I want to die but I also want to eat tteokbokki” so I’m having tteokbokki.

"When experts are wrong, it's often because they're experts on an earlier version of the world." -Paul Graham.

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

“If everyone’s a felon then no one’s a felon.”

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Why would AI turn on us, when it’s so easy to get us to turn on each other?

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Let me know when things escalate to stage Arbeh or Choshech because I probably don’t want to try to sit out Makat Bechorot.

Disney plus sub cancelled.

GenX bitching so long…

Another thing: the people lining up to say “but he was nice to *me*” are to a person white guys in powerful positions. I got news for you: he did not respect your ideas, he respected your power and enjoyed proximity to it. Of course he was nice to you.

That feeling when you visit the Cabazon Dinosaurs and you worry that reality is glitching. Wait a minute: how many toes on a brontosaurus?
