An illustration of a pink harpy (a mythical creature that is a combination of a woman in this case and a bird) with pale tipped wings in profile. She has turned her face to the viewer and looks surprised/frustrated as she holds a wriggling red snake in her mouth. The background is a light peachy pink

An illustration of a walking wingless sphinx in profile moving to the right. She has bright red fur with a slightly darker spotted pattern on her back. Her face is pale with dark scleras and bright irises. She has a patch of light fur on her chest and tail

An illustration of a red Hippocampus (a mythical creature half horse and half fish) with a pale strip down its body, pale fins, and a pale mane. It is in profile with its neck tucked in towards its body and mouth open. The background is a light peachy pink

An illustration of a flying Mothman. He is airborne and has a dark body with red webbing in his wings and red antenna. His face is pale with his mouth twisted in an open scream, his eyes are wide and are red. The background is a pale pink

My first four creatures made for my Monster Mashtober. Do you have a favorite so far? I really like the Harpy myself!

This is Hegseth trying to make it sound like a bigger deal than it is. We have friendly foreign air forces in the US for training exercises and the like all the time, especially ones that use US equipment. That's what this is. It's not like an operational deployment or giving them a whole airbase.

Excuse me, what?

WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE TO GET YOU IN THIS WOMAN Stella Sacco "She's an older model," the dealer concedes, "But she's in great shape." I'm rotating in place on the platform Wearing my shortest dress So everyone can check out my undercarriage. (That's where most used girl problems originate.) You're not convinced. "I don't know…..these used girls..." You say, nose crinkling. "It's the smell." "You can smell the want on her, huh?" The dealer chuckles. "Yeah, they all want. But... It's not like you actually have to give her anything!" You both laugh like wild dogs. This guy gets it! "The last thing I want is for her to dream Of us being together in six months, Or, God forbid, a year!" He waves away that worry with a practiced wrist. "This one's had so many previous owners She'd be happy if you remember she exists next week."

You mull it over, eyeing my soft and shiny skin. "I do like the finish... She still runs well?" He gestures to my exposed thighs, Inviting a test drive. At the touch of your long fingers I let out a gay little moan. "See? Purrs like a kitten." You're coming around. You could use a tall blonde around for a little while. Who couldn't? "What kind of maintenance will she need?" "A text once or twice a month... It's not like you'll need to show her off Or tell your friends about her. You're looking at bare minimum. She's basically a houseplant." "And when I'm done with her?" The dealer looks apologetic. "We don't do returns. But resale should be no problem. That's the great thing about used girls. There's always someone else Who wants to use them." "I'll take her," you say, Not bothering to take my hand As I step off the platform. I could hear it all, of course. But I smile anyway. I'm the prettiest girl at the used girl lot And I got picked again.

What’s It Gonna Take To Get You In This Woman?

I kind of unironically would wear these

Georgia judge charged with DUI after parking lot incident at Jacksonville strip club Bert Guy Jr., president of Georgia’s Council of Superior Court Judges, was charged with DUI from an incident in the parking lot of a Jacksonville strip club, authorities said.

A sitting judge, who also serves as a lobbyist for judges, and former Secretary of the Republican Party of Georgia, got a DUI when he hit another car with his Mercedes at Wacko’s Gentlemen’s Club in Jacksonville.

The levels of Georgia are off the chart.

Remember that “oh it’s a bit rude to talk about pay” benefits no one but employers and it is something we should be talking about (particularly minorities)

I really think it should be illegal to put up job postings and not give a general figure or range of what the pay would be.

The wingless Sphinx hasn’t notice you…yet. So you still have time to prepare for her riddles

The bros are at it again! and make no mistake, they are LITERALLY calling it "Vibe Lawyering"

my favorite sony earbuds are starting to have battery issues so I ordered the newer style and I'm already kind of meh about them. they have a stupid little sport wing thing and I bet it's going to be annoying to fit.

they abruptly in the middle of the day turned the remaining contemporary rock station here into sports casting several weeks ago and even though it was cumulus slop I was still mad as hell about it

I'm reading this defector piece and I hate to break it to the writer but her lyrics have always been that trite. she has made good music and I've enjoyed a lot of it bc I like pop music. but there have always been bad lyrics.

I'm glad someone pointed out that wood is a Jackson 5 sample bc I thought I was losing my mind. there are so many derivative riffs on that album.

I think their biggest problem is that the population of real people is so small on here that literally all of us know what's going on. the community is not nearly as silo'd here as in larger social media sites.

this site is so goofy is2g.

lol. I think it should serve me waffles. that would be pretty zen.

honestly critiquing pop music is way more entertaining than thinking about current events
