This is amazing news. I still think we should brand everybody who ever worked there with a cattle iron but it’s gone.

Uncharacteristically dirty martini and in-shell peanuts. Bringing dive bar vibes at home. #DrinkCheck

Just got caught having a dance party in my car at a red light. Whatever G-Wagen dude. I’m having more fun than you! #StillABop

Is Taco Bell growing their own lettuce? No. They get their lettuce from companies like Taylor Farms (that has 1/3 of the market *including hospitals*). This is deflection on the part of the federal government, which specifically cut funding for food safety screening/testing.

One of the interesting things about the Enshittification of Things is noticing who succumbs and who doesn’t. Today, shopping for ice cream: the generic is still ice cream, but Dreyer’s (aka Edy’s to the east) is now frozen dairy dessert, failing to meet the legal criteria to be called ice cream.

The CEO os stubhub needs to catch a RICO: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rackete...

Let my "I can't be bothered to cook" depressive episode and Cheep Chicken Monday (this is fewer than half their signs) convince me to buy fried chicken at the market, and I know @beerinfront.bsky.social will agree that that's never the wrong move.

If these things come in threes… 🤞let this be the first of three high profile crusty white asshole political deaths🤞

This is my surprised face. 🙄

He’s calling yet again. We’ve already had 3 phone calls about this, and it’s not the first time he’s asked for this favor and I’ve refused. I do not have it in me to answer for a 4th time and have this conversation again. Not to mention, he could’ve gotten home and taken care of it himself by now.

No, dude, I will not feed your 3 cats (whose litter box I regularly smell through your open window) because you haven’t been home and don’t want to come home. My health (esp that allergic pink eye) is more important than your bad planning, which also doesn’t make this my problem. Hire a petsitter.

Ugh, why can't any of my lovely pocket computer friends live close enough to join me at the Bowl! So far, I have no takers for a salsa show this upcoming Wednesday or NOLA Jazz in a couple of weeks. And I don't feel like going solo :(

I am being ATTACKED! The same is also true of movies and TV shows. And please do not ask me who I've seen in concert or what they sang. These are all ephemeral experiences to be enjoyed in the moment and then lost to time.

The only Tilly we want more of in Hollywood is Jennifer.

I love the paradoxical duality of listening to music on Pandora: "OMG, lady, you cannot skip that many songs!! Calm your tits!" <versus letting Pandora just play> "OMG, you haven't skipped ANY songs. Are you even listening to me?? Gah!"

FFS, didn't we come here to limit exposure this nepobaby asshole?

Pffffft oh please. Like YOU’ve never MacGyvered a precision crevice tool out of a drinking straw to clean inside your tower fan.

Overnight histamines can go to fucking HELL. Woke up at 3am with flareups from the pink eye and (what I presume is) a patch of eczema, wanting to claw all offending areas off/out of my body. But my thrift store is having a 4/$1 all glassware sale today, and allergic pink eye isn't contagious, so...

We’re #1! We’re #1!

@bruceshark.bsky.social you’re the Eiffel Tower, buddy!

So I still woke up several times overnight, and several hours earlier than I would have liked. But I feel well enough to leave my apartment today, so that's a big deal! (The eye stuff started on Sunday; peaked Monday.)

The upshot to a bout of allergic conjunctivitis is an excuse to pop 2 Benadryl and put myself to bed on the slightly earlier side. Goodnight Gracie!

Better yet: use that money to rebuild everything he dismantled, tore asunder, or otherwise ruined. And use it to repay damages done to everyone he's hurt; domestic and foreign.

Hell yeah salade niçoise!

I'm in!

So pleased to flip around the channels, and see all the local major affiliates are airing their own 250 celebrations, and none of them are showing that bloviated mango shouting incoherent insults at what are theoretically "his" people. (I'm going back to a Columbo rerun anyways.)

I am so absurdly full of meat. And I have a couple meals’ worth left.

Music to grill to!

Fortunate Son “The lyrics say ‘red, white, and blue,’ so it’s gotta be a patriotic anthem!”

Goods have been acquired! Sale on top of sale on top of sale. Salmon and ribeyes for ~$6/lb is what makes this is a holiday worth celebrating!

Has anyone told him that three presidents died on July 4? That they were great presidents and showed how much they love the country by dying on its birthday? Only the best presidents get to die on July 4!

As long as that 2-hour speech isn't canceled! For, um, patriotic reasons.

It's weird feeling FOMO about a sporting event I have no interest in, don't know the rules of (and thus don't fully understand), and don't even know the country everyone is celebrating/mourning their loss. Yet here we are. FOMO.

Larry must be protected at all costs!

Pretty sure almost everyone who was there yesterday were “influencers” and content creators, there to well, make content. They can’t even pay regular people to show up to this failure!

#DrinkCheck I would’ve preferred scotch, but this was the more optimal option for a few reasons. Shared a pour with my neighbor to decompress a bit.

This is gonna be like that time ALL the fireworks went off at once in San Diego. Except intentional And close to midnight, the well-known optimal time for family-oriented celebrations Heat and weather conditions also ideal for this. A+ ideas all around I hope that 2-hour speech in 107F goes "well"

I lost my DeadBoyfriend pendant while out shopping today. Retraced all my steps three times, and let others in the area and the shop know. It's gone gone. And I can't find a perfect replacement, even after 2 hrs of scouring online. I remember struggling to find that one 15 yrs ago; now, impossible.

Picked up a jar of my guilty pleasure pickles earlier this week. Guess I can stop using the word guilty now, huh?

Just like Jesus Christ, famous hater of the poor

My garnish looks so cute, perfectly perched in my empty glass! But… Should my glass not be empty? Should I refill?

Any local dive bar on any given karaoke night will have better singing *and* a better crowd.

*taps sign* IT’S NOT PIE!

New glass #DrinkCheck May have finally found my platonic ideal v-shaped martini glass. Even if they’re “just” glass and unbranded and nothing “special,” they’re also kind of exactly the size and shape I’ve been wanting. Breaking them in with an eastside.

Unsure about whether or not to add a little liquid to my pulled pork, I came to the conclusion that: a little bourbon is never a bad idea. Threw random shit together, so I hope this is tasty later!

There's A Lot happening on my timeline this morning, and it looks too bleak to figure out what it all means. So to sum up: FDT, fuck his packed SCOTUS, abortion is healthcare, and trans rights are human rights.

I don't even know where to start with every single thought that spewed from his maw. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

I see the antisemitism discourse happening on here right now, and can't even read it b/c I'm still trying to parse an unsettling exchange I had this weekend. Pretty sure dude was closeted maga.
