ME: sorry I can't make this meeting, I'm... uh, sick.
BOSS: Oh no, what's wrong?
ME: I've got ... [*looking at MARINERS jerseys*] scurvy.
BOSS: What? Are you on a boat?
ME: in a way
BOSS: ...
ME: rain delay I can make it

Absolute necessity. My best man's job was exclusively to keep my wife and I fed during the reception

First off, CONGRATS!! Secondly, we paid a friend to keep the day itself organized (rounding up family for pictures, dealing with the caterers etc)

Also, and this one is tougher, don't hire caterers who later get busted for trafficking their kitchen staff. Ask me how I know 😬

you know, for being a bunch of allegedy ancient rome-knowers, they sure seem to glaze over the parts where you ALWAYS PAY THE FUCKING TROOPS.

Most of those empty Starbucks have been REPLACED with small, local businesses.

The American right has picked, or more accurately invented, enemies on the left: blue-haired baristas, “Antifa,” Soros. In the interest of equity, I’m declaring war on suburban Golf Guys, electricians with four poorly paid employees, and MAHA moms. That’s fair, I think.

don’t worry, we’re also about to stop paying them all

I’m sticking with my “we don’t slander Woodrow Wilson” enough take.

Base it around Garak's memoirs and break our hearts dammit

This show, which does not and will not exist, would be incredible.

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called?

ME: Slay the Spire.

CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer?

ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours.

CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them?

ME: Now hold on a second,

shit ain’t over til it’s over

what a great call, too

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

Twanisha Terry, good gracious what a split

I have enjoyed roughly 16% of it

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Proximity Law of Seattle Politics strikes again

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

Leave is absolutely my favorite REM song, and that album as a whole is so fucking good

I've never seen a moment of it outside of people gif-ing it on Twitter and here and I hate it

*ezra klein guy voice* The problem with the left is that they've lost the willingness to speak reasonably with their opponents, such as this guy I interviewed recently who easily conned me into supporting eugenics

Great Khan Pritzker Gets It

drew gilbert screaming at matt chapman after hitting a home run. matt chapman for some reason has his hand on drew's throat. it appears to be celebratory?

@hollyanderson.bsky.social was drew gilbert a little unhinged when he was playing baseball at tennessee, too?

The image features Chief Miles O'Brien, a character from the Star Trek universe, specifically Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The quote, "He was more than a hero. He was a union man," is a popular meme referencing Chief O'Brien's character and his background.

Miles O'Brien fan club assemble.

SAME my heart skipped a beat lol
