Is anyone going to be at Charleston next week?

I was worried the glow sticks wouldn't be bright enough, but it looks like they are

I hate gay Halloween what do you mean you’re an uncataloged book someone tried to rebind with duct tape

I just watched this the other day, and also really liked it! I almost wish there hadn't been the reveal of her face, and her disfigurement had remained a mystery, but I probably would have complained about that, too.

A 2021 survey found 42% of consumers didn’t know Lays potato chips are made from potatoes. I’d love to know how that question was phrased.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
