Dr. Laura (no, not THAT one)

Let a man call me piggy *anywhere*. Fire and brimstone doesn't even begin to cover it.

Pop-Tarts® Ups the Ante with 'The Biggest Sacrifice Ever' as Six Edible Mascots Take the Field at the 2025 Pop-Tarts™ Bowl After two unforgettable years, the Pop-Tarts™ Bowl has cemented itself as the ultimate fan-favorite, post-season matchup. So much so that fans have declared it should be the most elite game of the sea...

Every time I think this timeline can't get weirder...

That was a fair decision. It started off with a strong first season but really fell off in Season 2 when they introduced the Zombie William F. Buckley Jr. arc.

You need to make sure to collect all of the debris after and take them to an appropriate waste management center. (Don't go to a Ferengi-run one - they'll charge a ridiculous fee.)

I guess we know which side of the honmoon Poole is going to end up on.

We used to have a pet bunny who got mad if she didn't have your full attention. Husband was playing a video game when TV said the controller was disconnected. Looked down and saw it was bc the rabbit had bitten through the cord (wired controller, shut up I'm old) and then flopped down to be petted.

I guess it's just me then - even though my computer isn't doing anything at night, I still have a bunch of programs open and if I reboot instead of just sleep there are a few things that don't restart or end up how I left them and while it still only takes a couple of minutes it's a hassle.

I think it's because we now tend to have more things running at once on the computer. Before, we'd do a thing at a time. Now we're flipping between browser tabs, checking Discord, skipping to a new song... It may be fast but it's still annoying to reboot all of that, even with apps that auto-restart

Start at the beginning! You don't want to miss any important parts of the plot.

‘Humbly, I’m sorry’: Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s turning a new leaf after years of divisive comments | CNN Politics Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will stop using “toxic” rhetoric, marking what would be a dramatic shift in a political brand hallmarked by derogatory comments.

This feels less like an ad than a cry for help. You okay over there, Alexa?

[Husband]: OH PUNK ROCK BETH, WHYYYYY?

That second response implies the existence of a *decent* hot sauerkraut wrestling ring - an equally intriguing possibility.

Surely I'm not the first person to use the phrase "Twix enantiomers" when considering the chirality of Twix.

This is something that has continually struck me in the Epstein files discourse - people on the right thinking they've "got" you by saying "what if we find Dems on there, what then, huh??" Well, then prosecute their scumbag asses along with the rest. It's not a difficult idea.

When the MAGA crowd was clamoring for the release of the Epstein files because they were sure Clinton was in them, I'm reasonably sure this is not what they were expecting to find.

According to that article, one of the other bands he was in was the Closet Heterosexuals and I now have a new favorite band name.

I hear it's a crossover with the X-Men.

Same! I write, at most, 3-4 checks a year, but situations do still come up where I need to pay with one. Everyday purchases are on credit card (for the rewards) and bill paying is online, like most people.

SO much worse. Glitter never comes off entirely under the best of circumstances, and being covered in melted fake butter is definitely not the best of circumstances.

We should just get rid of gendered pronouns entirely - everyone uses a singular non-gender-related pronoun. Whatever your gender identity happens to be, I'm happy for you. I just don't want to have to track an extra piece of info for everyone. I'm lucky if I remember names sometimes.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

I was telling my husband about this and we came up with the perfect person to round out the trio - Elaine.

He's fawning over how musically complex the songs are and yeah, he's not wrong, but did he think all music before the 21st century was just cavemen banging rocks together?

Stumbled onto a YT channel of a self-described Gen Z music producer listening to music from "back then" (his words) for the first time - Beach Boys, ELO, Queen, Bowie - and don't mind me, I'll just be sitting here slowly crumbling into dust.
