You're right, but the name came from their nicknames, David "Buster" Barnes and Buster "Dave" Noble!

This is true. I officiated Buster Noble's wedding to Dolce H after she divorced Gabbana M

Dave & Buster are also Barnes & Noble. David Barnes and Buster Noble are bros who own two companies.

I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

One of the horrors of being a child of the 80s is that you will never rid your brain of the My Buddy theme. It will play in the night. It will play while you drink a Negroni. And then, just when you think you've gotten rid of My Buddy, the Kid Sister theme, even more eldritch, will begin.

Concurrently terrifying and erotic Goodnight

No Kings clearly does not include Aragorn, son of Arathorn, bearer of Andúril (forged from the remains of Narsil), as he is the direct lineal heir of Isildur and thus the rightful ruler of Gondor and Arnor, and called King Elessar, which means “Elf-Stone” in Quenya, the tongue of the Elves.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The Trump administration is violating the Constitution, but understanding this theory can help fight back. Read the full story here ⤵️

once I started reading THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST I could not stop, it was a one-sitting read, I was COMPELLED, I was transported, it is so good, please fucking buy it and read it or just buy it to look at all the fun animal friends on the cover! 🙂

Elon Musk, the genius visionary who could not predict that the guy who has betrayed every person he has ever met would betray him

People shouldn't act like affluent college educated suburban Republicans are somehow more moderate than Republican voters as a whole, it might been true back in 2012, but not now

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but every time I open social media on my phone in the last week, a thousand shrieking banshee wails echo from the speakers & warn me to turn back or risk seeing man-made horrors beyond my comprehension

Evidence mounts that across the political spectrum, officeholders see themselves as lords of their own petty fiefdoms rather than temporary public servants meant to return to the body politic as regular people

This week on @riverdaleruns.bsky.social we were challenged by @therajill.bsky.social to come up with a good two-row knuckle tattoo that works even in a Don’t Dead Open Inside situation and I was the absolute winner: SOUP PWRD FUCK MCHN

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

Rest in peace to the director of Weekend at Bernie's, but also his estate has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

The results from Germany's big 3-year UBI experiment are out! 122 people got €1200/mo for 3 years. All were age 21-40 and employed with incomes between €1100/mo to €2600/mo They were happier, healthier, saved more, gave more, enjoyed more social time, and DID NOT WORK LESS than the control group.

Just fyi: A new book will make you feel better

Roses are red Our resolve hasn't faltered

my rural local news put up a post asking what people thought of the halftime show and this little old white lady commented “I didn’t get it but I’m old. I hope the young people had fun. I liked his pants and his jacket. 💕”

Shocked that the World’s Dumbest Man wants to purchase the Wrong Answers Only machine.

Companies often use the term to conceal processes that are unsustainable and environmentally unfriendly. Read more here ⤵️

I didn’t graduate college but like, I bet I wouldn’t lose money operating a casino.

You know I know the bastards haven't gotten me down? I still have room in my heart to hate my friends' exes 🥰

You literally cannot grow coffee in most of America

Genuinely not sure my house can withstand 4 years of the sort of intense cleaning I do when I feel rage.

The most accurate way to describe a wide range of issues, from climate to guns to government efficiency, is ‘Democrats are making this better and Republicans are making it worse.’ Despite being true, you cannot say it and maintain a job in ‘serious’ punditry.

As we approach @jococruise.bsky.social 2025 I wanted to repost this list i made of all the performers I could find on blueksy. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Great post, now with alt text

The experience of travel isn’t great, but the possibilities are fantastic. Sure it’s 9:30am but maybe I will have an ice cream cone.

The surface of Venus is a lethal crushing inferno BUT about 50km up in the atmosphere you have: * Earth-like temperatures * 1 Bar pressure * sunlight for power Aerostats filled with breathable air would float! We could live in cloud cities and even go *outside* wearing little more than scuba gear!

This ain’t my first rodeo 🤠 (It’s my 2nd rodeo and I’m still super anxious and scared so pls don’t be mean to me or I might cry)

If you're a carer trying to buttress someone vulnerable against the vast selfishness of the world, I hope a wild ridiculous enormous kindness flies in & finds you today

starting the year with one of my fav lines from Chandrashekhar Azad "what we are to face has been faced a thousand times and it has been defeated a thousand times before, we are merely those called to now carry on a tradition."

Being alive in the face of everything today is so punk rock, man. The people that make art in the face of despair are incredible and so are the people trying to do good and make a difference even when things are so hard. Thanks for helping us all not give up I love you

Large flock of vultures circling my neighborhood right now. Love an omen heavy NYE

Time to watch White Christmas with @laurenatlast.bsky.social and @mattybsads.bsky.social because traditions are important!

when I was a kid I heard another kid arguing about why he had to do service for others in the gurudwara and his parent was like "if you won't help others what is the point of you" and I've never forgotten that line.

Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving

Think about hands.

I read The Butcher of the Forest in one day on vacation and then began to shove it at other people and demand they also sit down and read it at once.

Are you even Family Gathering if you don’t A Small Mental Breakdown In Advance?
