Unserious Q of the day: do countries outside of NA do potlucks? It suddenly just struck me as a very American kind of manners to socialize party catering, usually literally in the name of economy (there wasn't money to do anything else)

New Sumerian zombie movie just dropped. www.tcd.ie/news_events/...

Wow, somehow I missed the news that Marc Andreesen's investment firm hired the guy who choked a homeless man to death on the subway. Their explanation for doing so is facially absurd, so you have to assume they're just symbolically endorsing vigilante violence.

Oh dang, it's true. You're not losing Whammageddon, you're listening for a good cause. www.thegeorgemichaelfund.com

I just chugged half a quart of (temp hot) hot and sour soup and this may have been the greatest thing I’ve ever done.

I have checked the internet and it turns out there is no Binder Clip Appreciation Day so I am declaring December 2 is Binder Clip Appreciation Day. Merry Clipmas to all who celebrate.

Mom came to me with a photo she found online of an old neighbor. I was struggling so hard in that moment that I couldn’t find words to say okay yeah I see. I said “I…don’t care.” She remembers when I’m mean to her. This is so hard.

I do not need extensive cagey bullshit from my estate sale guy right now.

When they can’t sleep for fear of being rotisserie’d, I will rest easy.

The secret to early retirement; dine out rarely, fly economy and be a Google employee making $390,000/year married to a fellow Google employee 17 years older than you who likely makes twice as much as you.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.

Just heard Try Channel refer to instant mashed potatoes as “Irish Ramen” and I am destroyed.

I just ended up getting served one of those "household tips" short videos about dishwashers but incidentally they had the silverware rack ON THE TOP SHELF...have I been doing this wrong for 40 years??

So far my primary Black Friday purchases have been subscriptions to independent media and Clarkesworld, which is publishing some extraordinary writers.

Whenever you see Bari Weiss' name, remember: PROFESSOR REFAAT ALAREER TOLD US TO HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS MURDER! Bari Weiss made his home a target, and they killed Dr. Alareer, his sister, her 3 children, his brother and that brother's son. Bari Weiss is a proud propagandist for racist murder.

I'm trying to assemble a rather substantial drugstore order to be delivered to my aunt's nursing home and I think I've been working on this order for so long either I or the UI have started to hallucinate?

My microwave sings a little song when my Hot Pocket is done. Should it have the right to vote?

Is anyone playing anything really fun on ios? I am a fake mom gamer but no "saga" stuff.

How long do you let your mom disappear in her room before you bang on the door to see if she’s alive?

"People are poor and that's not enriching the rich"

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Happy Wolfenoot to all who celebrate! www.wolfenoot.com/about

Hey this is what people with paranoid delusions sound like, just so you know.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20... update from malwarebytes has them saying they misunderstood and it seems like it is NOT the case! still a bit nervous about it though tbh

I rarely put a product release on my calendar but Kobo is coming out with a page-turner remote that at least looks like it truly doesn't suck and I am STOKED and probably also buying myself an ellipsa 2e. Nobody is going to make me my dream 15" e-reader in this economy.

I got myself a Sprite + Winter Spiced Cranberry and it's not absolutely bad but it's pretty much pumpkin spice and it's got a weird savory-ness against the lemon notes.

this appears to turn off a shitload of features, so they really intend to fuck you for not participating

The entire US economy is propped up by a product so toxic and insidious that everyone has to go on a weekly scavenger hunt just to remove it from products they're already using.

Took mom to the suburbs to try another walmart (she hates that one too, I think her hometown store was a fake supercenter and smaller) and I gotta say if that's WM on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the economy is actually really bad.

If there is any moment you find me questioning if my husband is a saint, please remind me how many times he’s taken my mom shopping. Moving to Portland has deeply affected her independence and she wants to walk around Walmart and he will take her there at rush hour. (ON THE 5)

So I guess the best time to start watching Plur1bus is when you feel like you’re coming down with something?

welp had to teach my mom to smoke and now we’re both wasted

So I found that Bisto makes a “chip shop curry” mix and it’s DISGUSTING and white British people should try Ranch dressing instead of this self-loathing sauce.

This IS a delightful story but until I clicked through the bottom right photo appeared to be of a bald man inside a residential green compost bin with some kind of amphibian (in a kerchief?) taped to his forehead and I wondered if that's how you catch baby alligators in rivers or what.

that is a Blues Brother Father Blues Brother

This is the wildest timeline

Mom doesn’t remember we’ve tried small amounts of edible and they made her mad because they didn’t make her sleepy, and asked for something “powerful” so tonight will be interesting.

It's more like ALL of them were paid off by big pharma and insurance, and these 8 agreed to take the fall for it.

In other words, our eight traitors were paid by big pharma and the insurance industrial complex.

The second best time is now

Do I even DARE check my email right now? Do I want to see if fuckin’ Carville has gotten through all my filters?

I don’t care how great your or my senators are, they should be hounded relentlessly every day of the remainder of their terms. Time to put away the frog suits and make it impossible for them to be photographed without a chicken suit in the background.

Angus King is an independent but he caucuses with the Dems. There’s a reason of them who voted yes are retiring. It’s likely a bunch more Dems wanted this but ones who face the least consequences fell on the sword. Root out who wanted this. It’s more than 8.

We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.

I want to be this guy (quoted) but unfortunately I am instead this guy (gif)

“We’ve been kinda fighting then we got tired and scared and stopped fighting, so you’re on your own. Sucks for you.”

It's well past time to abolish the racist institution that is the United States Senate. The land could be better put to use expanding the House of Representatives. Or as a garbage dump.

Yeah I left messages earlier to tell Wyden and Merkley I don’t care about their own street cred here, no money and no vote from me if dems cave.

correction: they are all retiring, announced or not
