Reading Stranger Things fanfic where a bunch of 2020 teenagers try to imagine how 1980s teenagers would talk is very often an exercise in "he would not say that"

A lot of the places she is calling are referring her to the food pantries that their organization already support. A sad truth about working in the nonprofit world is that there are *a lot* of scammers.

Liking Dear Evan Hansen is his most cancel-worthy take yet

I know Eggo waffles almost certainly had a product placement in the first season of Stranger Things but as a half feral child of the 90s who regularly ate Eggos as an after school snack in middle school I can't even really be mad about it.

I posted this when the score was 1-1 and then they went on to lose to the San Jose Sharks 6-1, so that's my bad.

If you had asked the other candidates what their favorite Broadway shows were, Cuomo would have answered "Jersey Boys" and Sliwa would have had a story about getting mugged outside the Majestic Theatre after a showing of The Phantom of the Opera in 1988

Saw someone say there are no songs about the Covid pandemic and this is OK Go erasure because that song and video still makes me cry

The Seattle Kraken... kind of have good vibes this year?? Maybe it's the new glow in the dark alternate jerseys.

Since Christmas is coming, here are my list of 1-2 y/o gifts that have been "worth it" for my youngest over the past two years 1. Balance bike 2. Play kitchen 3. Magnatiles 4. Toy food/pots for play kitchen 5. Crayons/blank paper 6. Barn and farm animals playset 7. Rocking horse 8. Stuffed animals

Over half the people who actually returned ballots in my county were 65+ so, um, maybe it was a good thing that there were so many gray-hairs in the No Kings crowds.

Goat's actually pretty good. You really wanna threaten me, tell me they're starting to sell bone marrow. Sorry, I'm not falling for big bone marrow propaganda, I don't care how many people tell me it's considered a delicacy in many parts of the world.

This is Queen Mary and Queen Anne erasure

Actually this makes me wonder if you would have to show ID in Mamdani's proposed city-run grocery stores like you have to show ID to shop at the military commissaries he was comparing them to.

Guys Mamdani won with 50.4% of the vote against a sex pest candidate that everyone hates in one of the most progressive communities in America. I am happy for NYC! But I'm not sure this is the absolute landslide for progressive candidates across the nation that some people on BlueSky think it is.

I don't really care about Zohran Mamdani but I've hated Andrew Cuomo since before it was cool so I'm glad he is sad tonight.

The CIA didn't have to rig the election, the population of Northern Virginia is 70% CIA or retired CIA.

I made a homemade baked mac and cheese for dinner last night and honestly it wasnt even a particularly good or fancy one, I used preshredded cheese and did not make a roux but it was still good enough that it's basically all I've eaten today for both breakfast and lunch.

To be clear I voted straight down my county Democratic party's recommendations and endorsements on this ballot but I still I reserve the right to grumble about them occasionally.

I wish they still made Team UmiZoomi toys. I know that show has been off the air for a decade but we bought all the episodes off Amazon when my twins were little and now it's my toddlers favorite show.

one of the conclusions i came to in this piece is that, like it or not, deep red and deep blue states are the showroom floors of political parties. so it's Bad Actually that california in particular is such a fucking mess when it comes to governance! www.liberalcurrents.com/the-crisis-o...

The Irish Republican Army:

Once again tapping my sign that what the centrist pundits are mad about is West Coast politics and everyone else is baffled because West Coast politics are kind of their own thing and Democratic political squabbles are completely different in the Midwest and on the East Coast.

Tragedy struck my house. There are no more Almond Joys in the kids' Halloween candy stashes.

fanfic writers when a character dies in canon

It's okay their cheerleaders now have a hit Netflix reality show to keep the franchise relevant

Ok fellow millennials: we are not whining about this. Our parents are getting old. They should not have to be hosting every holiday anymore! My parents are in their 70s! We are adults in our 30s and 40s, we are not being parentified - we are parent-age!

Does anyone else have a dream minor character role for a play or musical. Like, three scenes or less level minor. Because mine is Fruma Sarah in Fiddler on the Roof.

When that first pitch black by 5 pm weeknight hits after the end of daylight saving time

The miniature cups are objectively the best.

Learning to knit more advanced design elements beyond basic knit/purl is an exercise in figuring out what is fun and what is "huh that looks neat but is apparently very annoying to knit and I'm never doing it again"

Pope: God loves everyone Tradcaths: *screaming, crying, throwing up*

Taking two year olds away from the only parents they've ever known when all the evidence says those parents are fit, nonabusive, and non-neglectful, and planning to change those kids' names on top of it, is monstrous.

My two year old's favorite song is about to be top of my Spotify Wrapped this year.

Donnie Osmond? The guy who played Joseph in the Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat movie?

On a completely shallow level I kinda think Mamdani has fuck boy energy but when your opponents are drunk uncle and creepy grabby hands guy I guess you gotta go with the fuck boy.

This is the second money guy who's quit on him in just the past few days 👀

TikTok is fun because someone who's entire video library is recipes will post a bean stew recipe they like and all of a sudden the comments are accusing her of pushing propaganda for Fox News and Trump.

Cleaned out and reorganized my pantry

You know what's funny is the Army has an actual unit in Colorado Springs comprised of high level athletes who train for the Olympics and shit but Pete will never do PT with them because a ton of them are African immigrants who have insanely fast run times.

My brain every time I see another dumb Hegseth photo op of him doing PT.

I think we should get SECDEF out in the motorpool on Monday to PMCS a Bradley since he's so dedicated to readiness.

This guy is just permanently stuck in 2012-era Army Captain, huh.

Can we get Drake to attend any USA vs Canada hockey game that may or may not happen this upcoming Olympics

Annual early November reminder that if you want magical-feeling holidays you have to start putting the work in now. Sorry, you're the adult now, it's up to you.

Can we get Drake to attend any USA vs Canada hockey game that may or may not happen this upcoming Olympics

I think if Canada ever wants to win another championship they are gonna have to formally strip Drake of his citizenship or ritually sacrifice him by carving out his heart over an altar or something.

You think this is bad, wait until Toronto wakes up tomorrow and realizes the Maple Leafs aren't even in a playoff spot right now.
