lol, the electrician visit ended with the guy telling me he could fix another issue where I'd been quoted $1100 by his boss (I said no) himself for $700. I said I'd think about it and took his card.

I am listening to the electrician in my kitchen who is on speakerphone with a salesman and my guy's mistake is to keep saying, "but I'm not interested, OK?" And I want to yell, "it's not a question! Just hang up!"

Had to go to NY today to deal with an issue and when I walked into my deli to get my egg& cheese, the counter woman said, "WHY YOU HERE?"

Uh oh, trouble at the food tracking app.

I didn't think very hard about this but off the top of my head:

Did voir dire with Jerry Seinfeld. I got on the panel, he did not.

This will no doubt surprise you, but I agree. www.spin.com/2025/12/arti...

DOJ Removes All Mentions Of Justice From Website https://theonion.com/doj-removes-all-mentions-of-justice-from-website/

Did not realize till I stopped there today to get a necklace fixed that Lakein's is still closed. Really hope they survive this. (Mickey's Joint, too, but they are new and I've never been there). www.thebanner.com/culture/food...

If I were Luigi, I would plead insanity on the basis of the looped 30 second snippet of hold music that UMR forces you to listen to for what has now seemed to me to be hours.

Three out of the first four new posts on the UWS sub are about Absolute Bagels. It has replaced "that dog who attacks other dogs, when are they going to arrest the owner" as the main topic.

If you had told me a year ago or five years ago if I'd ever be writing this, I'd have laughed but: UGH, they have changed the last of my regular trains to NextGens.

Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys mocking people who wear masks while talking about What Is To Be Done is exactly what Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys are, it's the most Jon Stewart and pod saves guys thing possible.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains. (yes, I post this every time this goes around)

The guy who put a 19 year old named Big Balls in charge of gutting key government services: “experience matters when lives are at stake”

IT'S HERE

Yes. Make this. Make “Sweet Home Alabama” but she’s reminded that her hometown sucks, her high school boyfriend is an asshole, everyone there is a bigot, and there’s nothing to do there but drink. So she goes back to the new city life she’s built, with renewed gratitude.

Ooooh, too late, Zenni, I already spent that sweet, sweet FSA money on something else. Better luck next year!

“Went viral” is an old stock phrase in journalism that really does not capture the dynamic of how X dot Com has been tuned to give people like the one specific legislator here the power to intentionally cause this kind of outcome

I am told it's the law now, so I am watching the gay hockey show.

Snow is useless when school is already out.

Anyone have this actual video? Doesn't seem to be anywhere online and is not linked to in this article.

Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2) ""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

The popularity of Amtrak's NextGen seats continues to soar.

Got addicted to a game on my phone but the good news is that there will always be a job for me in the NYPD.

And Baltimore!!

Love to take Amtrak when everyone has five huge bags and you're just carrying a purse.

I inadvertently planned a family gathering on Festivus and now I am going to have to stifle I HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE all day.

I used to use Lyft rather than Uber because Uber were business jerks. I never got out of that habit and I feel pretty OK about it. (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/b...

It's noon and I'm drinking coffee with toast made of homemade bread and Meghan Markle Fancy Jam but the actual indicator that it's vacation is that I'm waiting for a service person to show up at my house.

He's making a list, He's nailing it high, Indulgences, No longer apply, Martin Luther's coming to town

it's not that you have to be stupid to be an effective regime mouthpiece, but it certainly helps bari weiss that she has a wind tunnel between her ears www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

After seeing almost everyone on my Baltimore feed review it and seeing it on the marquee of the Charles for like three months every time I parked at Penn Station, I am finally watching Baltimorons.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Fun Google Easter, er Hannukah, egg share.google/8tfJTEfOuy98...

One of the only actual Baltimore actors on The Wire. I interacted with him a couple of times on Twitter. Very sad news. people.com/actor-james-...

She showed me her room Isn't it good

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

We signed Bez?

Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law. /1
