It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

Has anyone out there seen OBEX? I just watched it, and I'm not too sure what I just watched - which normally means I just watched something I won't forget. Is it a lo-fi retro

“The first issue of Quotidian Bagatelle, a new micro imprint focusing on fiction and poetry under 250, is a banger… Plos drops a dystopian nightmare. Our protagonist wakes up hundreds of years after entering cryostasis. The reason they’re woken up will send a chill down your spine” I’m speechless 🫣

Finishing up our best albums of 2025 (super late I know) and in an effort to tell all the cheapos out there to gimmie all their money, I wrote “card hold cash" instead of “cold hard cash" and I kind of think I like it... but don't want to look like an idiot…

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps. I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.
