the single "woo" is the funniest thing that could have happened in that moment aside from hear an actual cricket or light breeze wafting through

forget the nuclear-grade cognitive dissonance about this specific conversation, but was part of Project 2025 turning the White House into a hybrid country club/podcast studio? yuck on yuck

i just looked up the win probability graph from last night's bills-ravens game. granted you don't want to put too much stock into probability models, but it really does put buffalo's comeback into a new perspective

the fun thing about living in Florida is that we can drive to Disney or the beach pretty trivially. the less fun thing is that our state government is actively trying to kill my kids in ways far beyond this one very obvious way that they're trying to kill my kids.

a man talking to another man with the words " my name is jeff " on the bottom Alt: a GIF from "22 Jump Street" depicting Channing Tatum's character saying "My Name Is Jeff" with the words "My Name is Jeff" captioning this image, which loses all of its humorous context because the joke in the movie is how awkward/nervous/stilted he delivers the line.

It's pronounced "Geff"

I'm really far removed from my horror convention scene days, but the TROMA folks were always some of my favorite people to run into. They're known for extreme and purposefully provocative (read: offensive) art, but they were always deeply kind and genuine. Halloween people are the best people.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good
