JFC was anyone else watching the USATF half marathon championships this morning??!! Jess McClain surged to overtake the 2 leaders w less than 2 miles left & looked to be cruising to the win when the lead vehicle LED THE TOP 4 WOMEN OFF COURSE thus causing them to drop irrecoverably out of the lead.

At a certain point, you’re just watching this man in fake glasses and suspenders, adrift both physically and existentially on a jetski in a manmade lake behind the McMansion he probably owns, awash more in questions about how his life works than any strongly held emotional response

That’s the one. This is just one of the stages of Blippi engagement. Stage 1: oh, this guy. Ok, whatever. Stage 2: actually, fuck this guy. Stage 3: BLIPPI CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL. Stage 4: (Stockholm syndrome) Blippi is fine actually

Last night, walking up on my bed to find The Cat squarely on my side:

ME: what are we doing about this?
HUSBAND: I guess…you are coming over to my side, and I’m spooning him.

My first car was that teal Saturn- β€˜93 SC1 - and it fuckin’ ruled. Odometer died around 150k miles but it was going strong deep into the 2010s with minimal need for service.

Of course. The Snow Plow game. It was BULLSHIT. And a foundational moment in NE’s villainy.

Ilya Malinin makes so much more sense to me now that I’ve figured out that his aesthetic is He-man action figure.

Donald Trump is withholding billions of dollars in New York infrastructure unless he gets Penn Station and Dulles Airport named after him.

This is not only brazenly corrupt. It is sick, twisted and egomaniacal. The time is long overdue for sane Republicans to stand up to Trump.

No, dipshit, we want ICE *abolished*. And you’re losing all of us with this weak ass conciliatory rhetoric.

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is β€œOh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice
