What does a guy have to do to get lucky and throw footballs into a giant Dr. Pepper can to pay for school instead of going into debt. Asking for a friend.

You know it's #Thanksgiving football when half the ads are for sports book betting apps and the other half are for gambling help lines πŸ™ƒ

Also don't @ me for decorating before #Advent starts, it's technically Celtic Advent already, I will take no further questions. πŸ˜…

Downside of having to travel for the holidays: not being able to decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving.

Upside of having to travel for the holidays: Being able to decorate for Christmas the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving.

Could’ve had
$25,000 to buy a house
$6,000 child credit
$50,000 business credit

But you went for the $1200 check that’s never happening. And now prices are going to go up $3000/year from tariffs alone, with no stimulus checks in sight.

Remember when we traded Stafford for Goff and picks?
Rams got:
Matt Stafford
A Super Bowl

Lions got:
Jared Goff
Jahmyr Gibbs
Sam LaPorta
Ifeatu Melifonwu
Jameson Williams
Josh Paschal
Brodric Martin

If the Lions win it all, this goes down as an all-time great trade.

I'm at that age where my mind still thinks I'm 29, my sense of humour suggests I'm 12, whilst my body mostly keeps asking if I'm sure I'm not dead yet.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

A man is tied to a chair. Two feds approach him. One says "Feed him the gusher!" The restrained man objects "NO! NO!" They forced feed the candy to him and his head turns into a giant apple. A tear rolls down his eye and he says "I used to be a man."

This has been a hard month for all of us, but I'll keep saying it: being alive right now is the most punk rock thing you can do. Fuck all these people, you are here and you are alive and defiant and I love you. I spend most of my days rn grateful to be in good company of kind souls and shitposters
