Jake Tapper was ready to use his pocket square as a tourniquet if needed until he realized he had some chutney on his chin so he used the pocket square to wipe that off.

I’ve been at some awkward dinners and wanted to leave early but I’ve never staged a(nother) fake shooting to get out of it.

A sandwich shop called The Last Great American Hero. All sammies are named for heroes specific and general. Anyone who orders a Cop or something stupid gets told to go dumpster dive in the back. Or an adult adventure park, but that would make money.

I don’t know how to tell people this other than by shouting it through cupped hands like Meryl Streep at the Oscars, but YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO TRUST OR EVEN BELIEVE WHAT TECH BROS CLAIM. In fact you should treat anything they say with extreme prejudice and suspicion.

Irony would be if this gets enacted only to then be used on the miscreants currently dismantling America. (To be clear, the death penalty is the problem.)

Spirit is easily the worst airline I’ve ever flown on, and I’ve flown on a C-2 Greyhound.

Psst ... we've got another war going on. Wanna know something else? War literature is, wait for it, literature! Novels like THE SURGE ought to be on your reading list (in my totally biased opinion).

Hey
@kylec.bsky.social
I know you’re not on the entertainment side of 9 News (though you are entertaining), but why is your network laundering Live Nation’s dirty laundry?m This reads like a press release.

There are actual admirals (dumbasses, but still) who have treated this joke of a ship dream (not a design, not a class, not even a concept of a plan) as something serious. They deserve to be mocked.

Its always so interesting how "Anti-AI extremists" are always "hysterical" and "loud" but AI "enthusiasts" are always just hopeful and optimistic (maybe hyping at best) and nothing else

To be fair, Spirit Airlines is the most qualified airline to be Trump’s national carrier. Spirit sucks.

Weird* to see so many myths persist 27 years after the shooting at Columbine High School. *Not weird. The longer in time you travel from when a myth takes hold, the more solidified the myth has become.

Had my first run-in with a likely AI-generated cookbook, and it’s just…dumb. Pages don’t match table of “content” [sic], pictures don’t match recipes, intro is boring and repetitive. Just sad.

I left the Catholic Church because of how they abused and aided the sexual abuse of children the world over. Sean Hannity left the Catholic Church because his fee fees got hurt (and not because of the sexual abuse). Simple conclusion: Sean is okay with sexually abusing children.

This movie serves as a visual and thematic leitmotif for my first novel HAVE SNAKES, NEED BIRDS. Sera tells John, before he heads back to war, to “be the Good. If you can’t be good, be the Ugly.”

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
