lauren "Im not falling for that hot take" meme

Incredible how that just makes the meme response I had queued up MORE relevant.

Would you like a serious or meme response to this?

your honor, every single crunchwrap is more supreme than this court

Ok that's fair I didn't consider that angle. But I also think I didn't word the non-quote part right this is the lead up to it being the staypuft marshmallow man so it's what is your greatest but silly fear not what would get destroyed question. So, my bad.

Ryyudo.

Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, the Traveller has come! Choose and perish! Choose! Choose the form of the destructor!

(if you had accidentally thought of something in Ghostbusters to destroy New York, what would it have been?)

an angry blue bird labeled "C++ dev: screams "GET THAT THING OUT OF MY FACE" at a cracker labeled Rust in one panel, then chomps it, and realizes over the next two panels that he loves it as shown by a look of happiness in the end

An increasing common occurrence at work these days.

Just have to keep fighting the good fight and hoping it actually sticks.

Yeah seriously. There was a brief period when traffic levels were way down things finally felt safe.

My father and his father both gave it up after accidents. I wasn't willing to wait that long.

the first whispers of the Butlerian Jihad enter Catholic doctrine

Holy fuck that's hot.

I'm not saying to do it, I'm too much of a coward to ride around Bostonians anyway, but if you did go for it I wouldn't blame you.

Literally called both of my senators to complain about this and if you are American I suggest you do the same. This isn't even close to good enough.

Screenshot of a tweet from Officer Lew (@officer_Lew) on Twitter. The tweet reads: “CONFIRMED: Spoke to at least 6 NYPD officers and they told me that many of the rank and file have already started to put their early retirement papers in and are actively looking for departments in North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. All thanks to Zohran Mamdani getting elected..” Below the tweet are three images in a collage: 1. Zohran Mamdani smiling and looking to the side on a city street, wearing a dark blazer and white shirt. 2. An NYPD SUV parked at an intersection in Times Square with people walking nearby. 3. A group of NYPD officers standing in uniform indoors, hands folded in front. Timestamp: 9:22 PM · 11/6/25 · 215K Views.

Mamdani is already cleaning up the NYPD!

Sports betting should go back to having been done in person. Make it inconvenient enough that most people won't bother and won't get initially hooked, but available enough that it won't go underground too much (total prohibition is rarely efficacious).

Then invest in mental health resources.

dear anybody who had a zoom meeting with me recently: the reason my webcam wasn't working was not, as i had incorrectly asserted, an "extremely Linux problem". It was that i had not plugged the webcam in

Financial Time chart explaining how AI could either kill all humanity and bring GDP to 0, end all scarcity problems and send GDP to infinity, or simple have no real effect and GDP rises at normal rate.

I appreciate that all eras have their greats and disappointments, but there is just a real magic in black and white films for me.

white chicken chili (a thing I had a bunch in North Carolina) is great, endless options I know.

One thing I will say is that with US supply chains chicken MUST be cooked well done. In many countries they don't cook it enough to be food safe with our chickens.

Spatchcock is definitely the meta. I personally don't prefer it, the Keller style roast chicken is my favorite (focus on getting the skin ultra dry and roasting with just salt and pepper it sounds like it'd be plain but it's incredible), but also katsu is amazing, milanese is fantastic...

the fact that Sandwich Guy is facing this 'wich trial at all is evidence of subpar justice. he is a hero being put through the judicial grinder. i hope the jury wraps up a not guilty verdict without delay or loafing around

A photo of a newspaper advertisement, showing a zoomed in photo of a hand holding a Pilot brand fountain pen. "Make AI Jealous" is written in Japanese next to the hand, with "Write what AI can't touch" in English underneath.

Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it

Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

It turns out the thing Cuomo was ready for on day one was not being the fucking mayor.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
