Can mixed-sex marriages work or are men & women just too different?

I'm sick of people claiming any event that their politics says shouldn't happen must therefore be fake. This is a bipartisan phenomenon.

Easy-to-clean office chairs for people with elderly cats whose butts don't work right?

I'm excited for Nathan Sage, but honestly, I'd vote for a castrated hog over Joni Ernst.

Atheism doesn't have any good equivalent to passive-aggressively telling someone you'll pray for them.

Is there a such thing as a ballpoint pen that just works & you don't have to try to get it writing again every few characters? I am just trying to sign my tax returns & address the envelopes. I've gone through 3 pens & haven't even finished.

Martha Stewart has got to be so mad that she did 5 months for way less than basically anyone in the Trump administration is doing daily.

In addition to all the other war stuff, it's important to remember Trump is still pushing plans to attack Mexico that Scott Adams (the Dilbert guy) came up with.

On the bright side, TikTok will get to discover "Yes, We Have No Bananas."

As someone who came up in a conservative culture in the 80s & 90s, it's very funny to me that Riley Gaines has become a conservative superstar with a story about having her participation trophy unfairly delayed.

Good time to remind people that one of the problems DEI is supposed to address is top positions being filled with incompetent dipshits who are well-connected with the boss's social circle.

Conservatives are coming around on electric cars because they heard that they don't have transmissions.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America:
1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI
2) kill universities
3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub
4) empty the cities
5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

It's amazing to me how many people will posture big as defenders of Israel & call anyone who disagrees antisemites, but hate the Jews in their own country. It's even more amazing to me that Israel's current government wants to be friends with these people.

Any political experience has become a liability. Your record is fodder for attack ads, but your accomplishments mean nothing. All that matters is being able to whip up the fan base. What liberal celebrity would you draft to run for high office if you were in a position to do so?

Taking my annual workplace harassment training. Glad to see it's still about how harassment is bad rather than a list of things you need to put up with because people have a religious right to harass you, but lines like "as a gay man, I'm glad I live now instead of back then" haven't aged well.

TIL most egg rolls don't actually contain egg. I haven't eaten them for about 15 years based on an assumption, so I didn't even bother to check ingredient lists.

Iowa flag. The banner text has been altered to say "Our liberties we despise and our rights we will mangle."

I think that Iowa is due for a new flag.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

"The enemy is both degenerate and prudish" is the new "the enemy is both weak and strong."

RIP Possum 2022-2025.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

It snowed all day Wednesday.
