Good Cop: sir you were going 55 in a 40 zone Math Cop: that's a difference of 15 miles per hour

Yeah the rotisserie chicken amendment is neat! Unfortunately it was attached to the Farm Bill which locked in $187 billion in cuts to SNAP. So, yes, now SNAP can be used for rotisserie chickens but more importantly, this bill means red tape, cuts & tons of people losing access to food completely.

looking forward to Oh No The National Debt becoming the single most pressing issue for the national media the second a Democrat takes office again, as is tradition

I'm not really interested in Star Wars these days, but I *am* fascinated by Disney's mismanagement of Star Wars. Not even in a schadenfreude way, but as a grotesquerie. The stripping down of this cultural artifact into saleable bits, the turning the nob back and forth and looking at the crowd stuff.

I'm having a real Normal One today

look, im doing the best i can ok - me giving approximately 25%

"fr" actually stands for "for raccoons." not many people know this

Full moon tomorrow if you get the moon where you are

unfortunately, I remember my shower thoughts

Thinking about baseball.

Like so many men before me, I have been “soft canceled.” Denied every single thing in my industry except constant employment, tens of millions of dollars, and thousands of hours of prime tv time to say whatever I want with no repercussions.

Useful thing to use here

Suspending elections where people have already started voting so you can gerrymander their voting power away. Very democracy.

And severe mental illness. Up to 85% of people with schizophrenia and up to 67% of people with bipolar smoke tobacco. We're vulnerable to addiction & self medicating with a harmful substance.

Some trauma isn’t really predictable. A lot of it is infuriatingly predictable. Some parents are evil. A lot of parents are broken by the system and unequipped to insulate their child from the trauma that comes with that. We can intervene, but we choose not to as a country.

Prevention doesn’t look like DARE. Prevention looks like robust parental leave. A minimum wage adequate for a decent living. Well-funded public schools and after-school programming. Head Start. Healthy food. Community. Support for families. On-ramps to college. Safe housing for everyone.

Incredibly common explanations for disordered substance use: - I see no future for myself, there aren’t any jobs for people like me - This is the only way I can feel warmth and joy - This is the only way I can sleep through the nightmares - This is the only way I can stay awake and survive Etc

As is the case with virtually every “substance of concern” under the sun, the best way to curtail its use at the population level is probably building healthy communities where people have options, safety, and time for recreation and growth.

Hey you know what else predicts smoking rates and has for some time, even outside of the US? Poverty. People who have to hustle all damn day to keep their head above water predictably turn to accessible stimulants. You don’t have to eat or sleep as much and you get tiny breaks throughout the day.

Trying to make a pun by bludgeoning the English language so bad that witnesses become physically ill

Reminder that there is no scientific definition for "ultra-processed food", and no theory for the mechanism by which it is supposedly uniquely harmful.

Sometimes I want to run away but I hate cardio

Please share this one.

My favourite thing about this website is that no one gives a shit about what I say, which is how it should be.

NIN should appear on Sesame Street to perform "I'm Afraid of Asparagus."

[Britney Spears voice] my lower back is killing me

if you work at one of those outlets that doesn’t need to write anything good to stay in business, you can publish something like “it’s good to eat goose turds off the sidewalk” and half of bluesky will spend an entire day reposting it to say no no no that’s not true

gonna open a store a call it blockbuster who’s gonna stop me

Don't love when a recipe calls for "heaping" measurements. 3 heaping tablespoons, ok so 4 but you wanna sound cool. The Cavalier Chef

around 60% of my life to this point has been waiting for no good reason, 30% just sitting there, the rest is when stuff happened

i'm thinking of boycotting fun, convenience, and simple pleasures.

here is your horoscope for today

The major problem with Long COVID is that most people don’t know that what they are experiencing is Long COVID. This is an enlightening comment thread.

Pasteurize your milk, you stupid fucks.

I rarely share anecdotes, making an exception here. I've spoken to too many people recently who have developed chronic health problems that are temporally correlated with a recent Covid infection but who weren't aware that Covid was likely the cause. No idea they had Long Covid.

yesterday was a big day for today

it's basically various forms of guys screaming that you can't get coffee flavored coffee anymore

I can't tell if people want me to post less or fewer

How literally anyone can be patriotic is so utterly beyond me

"You hear theyre using chickens as camera gimbals now?" "What?" "Chickens. Strap a camera onto their head. No shake. Chicken camera gimbals"

Nothing reveals a person's true character like a board game that's been going on too long

ME: *finds electric toothbrush inside a beehive* wait if this is here then- [cut to wife brushing teeth with a million bees]

heavy is the head that wears the heavy hat 😢

Eating salt and vinegar chips because I'm a bad person and deserve to be punished
