Mrs. O'Leary's cow is about to get some competition I see

Behold, a Chevrolet Chevette. It has seating for 5, exactly the same as a modern gargantuan pickup truck. You can comfortably fit two adults and three children, and it is a hatchback so you can fit luggage in the back. It got 40mpg highway and fits in any parking space.

One of my baby teeth didn't have an adult replacement, so I'm going on like 40something years with that little fucker.

I've seen more-elaborate constructions in high school theatre productions of "Our Town."

This SCOTUS, creators of such recent rulings as "the law is what we say it is," "the Handmaid's Tale seems like a lit way to live, actually" and "racism is legal now" have decided that overturning Trump's appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict would make them too much of a joke.

The sword hanging over my head had lowered a bit over night. Still not close enough that I was freaking out but I could sense its movement.

This is a joke for real ball knowers

Lemme guess, the main character decides to move away from the big city to a small town in Northern Indiana.

Napoleon Bonaparte made his servants break in his shoes before he wore them. His entire wardrobe was two different outfits repeated. When he arrived at St Helena he had a meltdown about the house smelling like paint. His stare was so unnerving other heads of state believed it was magical.

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

one of the most inadvertently funny things i've ever seen was a tv edit of the blazing saddles campfire scene where all the farts had been cut, so it was just cowboys eating beans in dead silence for five minutes

*posting through an anhedonic downswing* anyone noticed having fun lowkey fell off

Soft power is when you force the British to make 1776 brand cheddar cheese

Has a dream last night that I was Super Mario and it turns out fighting fire breathing dinosaurs with your bare hands would actually be terrifying

me: should i chronicle history or document current events? funk soul brother: write about now

It's this or they start speaking like Sephiroth

whether it be the fluorescent drop-ceiling cubicle hell from the first one, or the open-floorplan naturally-lit startup energy from the fourth, the primary takeaway from the Matrix films is: having a job sucks

What does he think "Welcome, but be good!" means in this context? We don't issue passports to people who are visiting...

We also didn't have unlimited *calls.* you had to wait until after 9pm if you wanted to talk as much as you wanted; prior to that you had a set number of minutes each month and you got charged way more if you went over.

I'm pro air conditioning, but i don't think it's right for Britain because i don't want Englishmen to be comfortable

An American acquaintance told me recently that Islam is taking over here, and didn't believe me when I said it's not. I worry about that

The dissenting justice highlighted the ill-fated voyage of the M.S. St. Louis, which carried over 900 Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution. After being refused docking in Cuba, the US, and Canada, the ship returned to Europe, where hundreds of its passengers were killed during the Holocaust.

Also, this is as close as one could get to the People’s House last week. Disgraceful.

Culver's, guys. True elitists are now eating at Culver's.

When these men were still teenagers and a National Guard recruiter lied to them about what they'd be doing to get them to join up, I'm sure they didn't expect this.

I've been seeing a few people who came into games writing/journalism like a decade after I did and they talk about my peers who've got some of the few jobs remaining as if they "made it" and I would like to be clear: virtually none of us made it, even (perhaps especially) the people who seemed to

Saw this and thought "uh I don't think they sold water bottles like that in the 70s"

Everyone knows the natural habitat of a seagull is the parking lot of a Six Flags.

I just try to imagine what it'd be like being a Gen Z woman trying to have a relationship with today's Gen Z dudes: driving home in a seething rage because the broccoli-haired dipshit blurted out a bunch of white nationalist talking points at the party while he's just mad someone chinmogged him.

I read this again and cried this morning. So of course, I now share it with you.

Gonna think about this post every time a European looks down their nose at average Americans for not simply forcing our politicians to pass gun control.

The thing that encourages me as they get even more and more brazen with shit like this is that this kind of unmitigated hubris only leads to them becoming even more lazy, incompetent and out of touch, which is why they will ultimately fail in the long run and get completely blindsided by it

Live view of the reflecting pool

You would never use this argument about heat even though heating uses more energy than air conditioning. This is what I mean about a cultural bias against air conditioning. You'd rather your people die. Just own up to it.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Trump is embracing Keneysian economics, paying workers to repeatedly erect fences and take them down again.

We've all thought it, but I'm gonna be the one to finally say it. Zoology should have a triple o. Zooology.

Culturally, Bluesky is a 38 year old Brazilian furry living in Philadelphia that loves Star Trek and the New York Knicks

You've raged against your last machine.

(while being killed) stay alert everyone this is just a trial balloon for them killing someone more important

I've said it before but the rise in adult ADHD diagnoses is just because it stopped being socially acceptable to unknowingly self-medicate with cigarettes as a cheap stimulant and fidget toy.

Pete Hegseth proudly announced that flu vaccines were no longer required for the military. Predictably, a flu outbreak has descended upon the Air Force’s boot camp. Flu vaccines are again required for all new recruits.

Your forties. One friend just graduated from college. One friend had a baby. One friend's KID had a baby. One friend bought their first house. One sold the house during the divorce. One came out. One moved across the country. Trippy.

Yeah, we got into way more trouble when my parents forced us outside. One time my brothers tried to play baseball using a basketball, and the bat bounced off and broke my brother's nose on the first attempt.

I have a mini-fridge under my desk and it's constantly making little clicks and gurgles that comfortingly makes me believe I've got an old PC tower down there, struggling mightily under the weight of all my browser tabs.
