(Other racist coworker, about Somalis) "What I don't like is that they come to this country and they bring their culture and try to make it part of American culture." Me: "Oh right, like Cinco de Mayo or St. Patrick's Day. No one does that, right?" Manager (later): "What? THAT'S AMERICA!"

Called him out for being a racist and reported him to management. Fuckers decided to ‘both sides’ me, saying that I was wrong to say anything to him.

Sweet Jesus, here I am on my break listening to my Thai immigrant coworker raging about the Somalis again and repeating right wing anti immigrant rhetoric.

Bread and jello, and marmite They’re delicious in his sight Jesus loves to eat the children of the world

Does anyone else feel like Order of the Stick has just been (literally and figuratively) walking itself in circles for the last year or more trying to avoid the end of the story? I'm getting bored with it.

Just reading the comments on the rumor that Ronda Rousey is looking for a boxing match as a return to combat sports was more entertaining and brought more laughs than any TV show I could have watched tonight.

Ah yes, spam ads on web pages. How else would I know that Keanu Reeves has a secret mansion in a nearby Minnesota suburb?

"Our business is customer-driven, so if we have to push our workforce to the point of open revolt and mass exodus, then that's what we'll do" Has got to be the damned stupidest management idea.

Oh hey, maybe we can have ash trees after all! Until it mutates and infects us, anyway. twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/...

Being up late on a work night is confusing the hell out of my cat.

Hey Lehman's. You're wasting your money on YouTube ads that play to people in Minnesota. The whole thing reminds me of how Gurney's basically bankrupted themselves in the 90's by sending people like me 13+ catalogs every year because the catalog people promised it was cost effective.

And here, NO ONE is calling for this asshole to be impeached for his threats. Not even a single Democrat.

Apep (aka Apophis), Egyptian god of darkness and the underworld. Or, the triple star system of the same name, filled with spirals of dust, as seen by JWST.

If the "3%'ers" ever come crawling out from under their rocks to march with their little signs under any subsequent Democratic president, I am going to make it my life's mission to counter-protest these motherfuckers every time. They have no honor, no courage, no integrity.

JD McDonagh has a massive head for his body. Someone had to say it.

"That's why I'm taking food away from children who need it. Because the bible is socialism and you don't need that."

Learning facts spoils common science fiction tropes. There are about 10,000 star systems within 100 light years of Earth in a galaxy 87,400 light years across containing 200 billion stars. "The Zenthraxi controlled 47 star systems..."

This morning the #2 boss gives #1 boss some shit about being old, asking if he had pudding last night. Me, just as old as boss #1: "Hey! I had pudding last night." So apparently that's an old people thing. Even though a 4 pack is only $1.29 at my local grocery store and I like pudding.

'BlueSky is a shameless echo chamber' they tell me. As if we don't all have the right to choose where we post and who we allow to appear on our page. Those people on X and Truth, many there because they get to be their worst selves, are butthurt because I won't submit myself to their hate.

My mother passed at 3am this morning after a long illness. I don't know what the world and our family is going to be like without her. My younger sister is now the family matriarch. She's been a rock, carrying us through this hard time.

A message for MAGA and their would-be king. www.youtube.com/shorts/fRXQA...

I went to visit my mother today, as I am finally over my illness. Us kids ended up having a conversation with our reluctant father about whether it was time to move her from at-home hospice care to a care facility for her final days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uKS...

The Me from the 80's and 90's would be astonished that the Me of today is sitting in my living room smoking some of the best weed on the planet. Legally purchased at a local store. Now we just got to get the Federal Government out of the 1970's and get marijuana completely off the schedule.

From the Godfather of today's mess

For 8 years, Maggie wouldn't come into my bedroom because of Theo. He's been gone three months and she would lie at the door and call to me, but refuse to come in. This morning I finally coaxed her up onto the bed for about 10 minutes of cuddling. Major breakthrough and I'm over the moon.

When the ballroom is complete, can we Cask of Amontillado the man inside it and call it the Donald Trump Mausoleum?

In 1948, you were expected to take one job, no matter how shitty, and make a life long career of it. This kid quits the shoe store and the guidance counselor talks him right back there. These days he would be making $14 an hour as an assistant manager. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEBi...

I'm actually kind of amazed that no bad cops were out there seeking provocations and no right wing groups were trying to false flag violence.

I'm not a crowd person. But I was thinking strongly about going to a local No Kings event. Now I have to work instead. MANDATORY SATURDAY!!!

Ace Frehley died. Does that mean we get cursed with 6 weeks of Gene Simmons?

If we were to learn, a few years from now, that Donald Trump attempted to order the military to launch a nuclear missile at Portland or Chicago, and they quietly refused to do it, I would not be at all surprised. But I'd bet $20 that we would learn about it from someone's book.

Gold up 45% since Trump took office. Silver up 50%. Precious metals go up when rich people are anticipating bad times.

I drive a standing forklift at work. Today one of the tires went bad and it started jackhammering as I drove. I ended up with some upper back pain and I believe, a mild concussion. Fuck my life.

Just saw my first box elder bug of the season. Soon they shall be a plague on all of us.

How many times has the Doug actor been attacked or injured by that Emu? I just see those ads over and over on YouTube and start wondering.

Hear me out. Puerto Rico should consider becoming a province of Canada instead of a US state. Canada gains a third language and a vacation replacement for Florida and the USA. PR gains universal health care and actual representation.

Why in the fuck am I forced to work with an emergency assistance agency that communicates only through the US Mail and submitting documents through an upload website? They don't communicate via email or over the phone. A government emergency assistance agency. In fucking 2025.

One month after the Park Commission was formed to turn Minnehaha Falls into a park, the Hotel/Ballroom/Illegal Tavern there mysteriously burned to the ground. Including all of the fences away from the building. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiR1...

And... there's another mouse caught, played with, killed and eaten in the space of five minutes. She just finished eating it and then looked around to make she didn't miss any of it. And... back out on the deck already.

I'm sorry, I have no real patience for people going off in absolute frothing rage at the use of 'the C word', as if this is the worst possible offense in every universe and the speaker must immediately be ostracized and rebuked by everyone. Have any of these people actually met an Australian?

Moms should just take Tylenol PM then the kids will only be autistic at night /s

Somehow I don't think the Democratic plan of "Let's get them on record as voting for horrible things" is paying off. They want to vote for those things and they don't care what anyone thinks about it. Shaming the shameless isn't working. Another 20 dinner parties with the donors won't help either.

What's the betting line on the Hegseth meeting being about Martial Law and the military?

"You got some evidence for those claims about our product?" - Kenvue, maker of Tylenol, as they file a multi-billion dollar defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump.
