Holy shit that was flawless

I was already cracking up in the sushi restaurant watching this and then I turned on the sound

One was an itinerant farmer following the harvest. He taught me how to jump onto a moving train and explained it was the fastest way to get into the city for a weekend.

The other was a WWII vet who never talked about the war until a few years before he died and wow the alcoholism makes sense now.

Whether or not you’re running for Congress and trying to seem rugged (and you probably should run, because, look who’s out there) what did your grandpas do for a living?

The default font is sooooooo difficult to read now.

I changed it and after a reset it went back to the default and I just can't with this bullshit.

I booted up a linux distro last weekend and hoo-boy.

Pro: I didn't realize how slow Windows loaded programs until they just opened. It's snappy in a way that I didn't expect it could be.

Con: I've grown complacent and need to re-learn how to use computers. This is not a con, this is a pro.

Without further ado, let me briefly offer an analysis of an artfully shitty bike rack in El Segundo, California.

And using Dukat as the antichrist is just so boring and unfortunately the only way you could reasonably pull it off without pissing people off

It was kind of hinted at with the defensive/orthodox shift of the bajoran church, but then they went off the rails and tried to emulate a battle between heaven and hell, and, whoops, I'm bored.

More than anything I wish they explored the concept of finding your gods then realizing they don't actually give a shit.

To clarify, I'm fine with the aliens inside the wormhole, I just wish they weren't the gods of the Bajorans.

IMO being able to prove your gods are real kinda takes the edge off when you're trying to explore how religion works. Like, of COURSE you believe in the Prophets; they're RIGHT THERE

Like, left out of the series altogether, or it turns into a "ignore the man behind the curtain" thing?

Steinbeck: What did you think of my draft of 𝘖𝘧 𝘔𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘯?

Publisher: It needs more characters.

Steinbeck: I'll see what I can do.

Package it in polypropylene so the balls are stored in PP.

If the hallmark channel did a christmas movie about a southern belle visiting Pittsburgh to see her boyfriend's family for the first time, how many of yinz'all would watch it?

Everything sucks, please enjoy this photo of Winnie the Pooh christening a Sears.

I think you do a great job of making a point without being overly condescending. I think you could pull it off.

It would be nice to see someone dig in on this point.

Lebanon has ~300k Palestinians refugees, the descendants of Palestinians that fled the Nabka in 1948. These people are locked in gated ghettos. They are not given work permits or citizenship. Half of these people are children born in the camps to parents born in those camps. And now this.

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

one of the problems with the "prediction markets have social utility" thesis is that acquiring true information to beat the markets works better the *shorter* the timeframe before the rest of the market gets that information because you can cash in more quickly x.com/itslirrato/s...

Yall make jokes but who's laughing when you need at 10% buff from curse of the elements.

I think about her a lot because of this

A dog named pepper, wearing a sweater, sitting on a comfy chair wondering why the holiday party is across the room.

Pepper is the most spoiled dog, and she always gets mad when the party is 10 feet away from her.

Bramble the terrier on a black shaggy rug in a hallway, lying on her front with her little paws to one side, looking like something unbearably tragic happened to her when all that happened is I didn't give her cheese

How is every dog the most tragic dog you've ever seen

I don't know why I have this photo on my phone but I'm glad I do

The source is lost to time, but this is one of the funniest photos ever taken

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

Judge forced to slash SF jury pool over hate for Elon Musk One candidate said he thinks sending Elon Musk to prison would benefit humanity.

“In a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict, however, in a civil trial I could set those views aside,” adding, “I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race for Mr. Musk to be sent to prison.”

They may not have mentioned it, but they probably knew! It's hard to miss the difference.
