Everyone has to come in to the office for Pep Rally Day

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

At an age where I'm hearing my fave songs from high school as soothing dentist office background music

Big whiff from NPR on science coverage. The Tylenol story yesterday is a politics story, not a medicine one. Talk about "doubts" in science doesn't really tell the truth

Every word builds to a fascinating conclusion.

Last time I needed paxlovid I had to come up with some condition and I told them asthma. The gal asked me what kind of inhaler I had and I told her, uh, the regular kind

This is great news for zoomer social media site competitor Mastodon

Rude of him not to admire Tina Smith

Mindhunter. Second season was really strong. The show got lots of attention during the true crime serial killer trend years, and had great acting and production, but that wasn't what I liked about it.

Are his hair plugs falling out?

The "trained military hitman black ops" takes being replaced with "leet FPS teenager skills" before our eyes

The last 10 months I've been listening to audiobooks when running instead of my usual news or politics podcasts. My social media (reddit) is trimmed to just my hobbies and interests. It's helped me a lot. I wouldn't say I've tuned out, just not following every development like it's Muellertime.

Remembering how we invaded Iraq for WMDs, in the form of a smoking mushroom cloud. We know where they are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat. archive.thinkprogress.org/rumsfelds-re...

If you want the people responsible for 2020 hanged, get a rope and a plane ticket to Texas. You'll see him when you get to FCI Big Spring.

Finally got a jury summons for the first time in my life, I am going to jur so hard, my civic duty will discharged to the utmost

Does the Metric song count? Black Sheep? m.youtube.com/watch?v=1xcS...

In 2005, Trump was bragging to anyone who would listen that, when you're famous, you can do anything, grab em by the pussy. Does this drawing in 2003 square with our understanding of the president in 2005?

I don't know why congressional discussion of RFK handles him like a combative cabinet member and not an unqualified, heroin-addicted liar. They should say it at every opportunity. Mercy and grace for others. But not for this a-hole.

Once had a particularly odd coworker tell me the reason the US birth rate was so low was because we have a taboo/ban on child labor, and if we could let his five kids work jobs to make money for the family, more people would have more kids.

Dunno about anyone else but I don't think I've bought anything outside of essentials in months. My personal treat economy is very low.

The best quote I’ve ever seen about this is that every Democratic leader of the 21st century is ideally suited by temperament and mindset to be in congress in 1995 debating the v-chip.

Who is ready to see the power of extreme soft-focus lenses

Realizing kids glasses aren't neon colors because kids like them, they're so that you can find them under the furniture or out in the yard

Like the bloody mary, mead counts as an acceptable breakfast beverage

Nothing is funny today.

Before the pandemic I wouldn't have noticed a thing like three military helicopters traversing the northern suburbs with transponders off

Holy hell the default "Microsoft Edge newsfeed" is grotesque. Every day they find stuff that I wouldn't read at work or at home. "plea written in blood saves woman trapped in freezer". "couple die in copter crash birthday celebration". "six ways to lower your cholesterol". Christ, the brainrot

Enough internet, I'm gonna go run around the lakes

People argue the language because they don't like the aesthetics of people using the language. They might have democratic values or goals, at at least non-republican goals, but they want the 90s triangulation model. Anyone with sense knows that the triangulation era has passed.

Fried food gets all the talk at the fair but my favorite this year is the grilled peach with Greek yogurt and pie crust. At the produce hut by the ag building across from ye Olde mill

I'm at the Minnesota State Fair and a guy just proposed to his wife outside the Cub Cadet booth and everyone is cheering and clapping

I'm gonna eat so much ice cream at the fair tomorrow

I'm the guy they use in that study that says diet coke gives you cancer. I think I've had 6 spindrift today

Word from my Target corporate friends that bonuses are cancelled based on company performance. Bad head, whole body suffers. Hurts to watch

Been listening to that album by The Thermals on repeat all week

I work closely with two trans adults, both amazing individuals and also completely normal like everyone else. In a professional setting, it's just the most regular thing in the world! The sun rises comes up in the east, tuesday is taco lunch, so and so is trans. It's not a big deal!

Heard ads on the radio today for "get your pre-tariff car here! Get it now before prices explode! Once they're gone they're gone! You just don't know with tariffs!"

I'd be fine with the apocalypse so long as it doesn't disrupt my routine and I don't have to make any adjustments ever Even a slight change in the timing of my coffee, meals, sleep would probably destroy me. Can't imagine that would ever occur though, only other people

One thing I don't regret about the internet is giving it the power to shut off the lights from bed

Bye Ma, I'm off to the edge of the fucking universe to go fix Sam's giant computer in space, see you in 36 years!

Giving up some toddler toys now that my boys are preschool age and, as expected, it's harder on me than them

Soon

Guessing that opening day turnout for Ren fest will be lessened

Pretty wet out there

So you're probably sitting there wondering how I was able to carry in all the groceries in one trip, well let me tell you

Seriously been wondering how well these military patrols would hold up to three adults with a water balloon slingshot and a few pints of paint You can easily launch those suckers a hundred yards

Rain and thunder tomorrow at 8AM seems likely A big thunderstorm is just the thing I need to bolster my standing in the race tomorrow! 🤭

This movie always used to play on Sci fi late at night and scare the heck out of little me

Daddy we found a pet rabbit in the backyard and he's sleeping and we want you to wake him up so he can be our friend and we can talk to him whenever we want 😬

We needed this rain
