Part of the reason that mom-and-pops are able to survive in the EU is the regulation on credit card fees like this. Interchange fee limits there are part of the reason their restaurant and retail options are so much more diverse. (Rent remains an issue)

Never forgive Foote. This is the only way forward and the only way to finish Reconstruction.

I didn’t expect her final form to be Gabor Sister, but I’m kind of digging it.

It’s me on November 14, 2025. Thank you for this blessing.

And load their firearms in the same fashion.

A 'Wayne’s World' reference to start my day? Unironically excellent.

She took so many pains to not call those vigilante-led hangings what they actually were and acknowledge who they were done to…

Both of my senators… Harry Reid is spinning so hard in his grave that he could generate enough power to run Bellagio’s fountain show tonight.

They all have so much personality!

Sweet

It also just never stops. As a 41-year old woman, I just got feedback from a senior leader that in the last meeting I led, I told too many jokes. I think I made one or two trying to recover from my own misspoken wording. It was too much personality on display for the 55yo+ dudes.

Point of order to address that full-sized Mounds fighting for its life against all those fun-sized Almond Joys.

Love the prompt to use the red tape to open the 1932 package - what (and I mean this sincerely) a game changer for the consumer that must have been.

Not the point, but that is such a beautiful space.

Wax lips are a cruel joke.

The tenor of inevitability that has enveloped this guy is the most maddening for me.

Our national parks are pretty universally loved, though? They constantly rank as the most favorable public service by a wide majority.

Homer Simpson admonishing Lisa (out of frame) for her precocious device with text reading, "In this house we obey the rules of [the Oxford comma]"

Given his recent tangents touching on mortality and legacy, the project has a pharaoh’s pyramid sheen more than anything. Plus the arch? He’s building monuments that tour guides will be forced to address forever.

My spouse got an idiot kid tattoo - terrible 1990s "tribal" sun with his ex-wife’s initials - once cash was saved, he decided he was no longer an idiot kid and had it removed. Just like that. It really is that simple, and it should be simpler for idiot kid tattoos attached to fucking Nazis.

Willing to hear them out if they can do the tiny bicycle trick.

Oh hell yeah, love when kids get Their Thing(s) going - it’s so wild when you overhear a seven-year old pipe up from a backseat with some factoid about Pompeii when you’re driving to the grocery store.

'Gilmore Girls,' season five, episode 18. It’s fall, Lindsey; we are all supposed to be in a rewatch of this thing.

It’s the sort of thing you only get to see in ancient Roman graffiti.

Representing herself is just the icing on the cake.

This might be the faction blowing up the railroad tracks.

Literally laughed out loud.

The perfect storm of moms being older than they used to is catching up, too; something clicked after I turned 40 and I became even madder than before at The System. I can’t imagine how much more internal angst would be brewing if I had, say, a 10-year-old.
