Told my phone to play my favorite music. RATM’s “Bullet In The Head” came on and I am not sure their music could be any more appropriate than right now

If you schedule a noon meeting and you don’t have a different time zone to blame, you’re a special kind of asshole

I know that “feels like 1 and 5” feeling. My dad has been gone since 2020, I still sometimes get the urge to call and ask for advice.

Having to be in the office for the first time in ~10yrs is a struggle. Headphones coming in clutch. But..

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to NOT sing the line “never trust a big butt and a smile” out loud?

For my fellow olds

It’s 30 degrees here. Ain’t no spring, real or fake.

They missed an opportunity…

I just want Siri to actually answer a question when I ask instead of “here’s what I found on the web”

Look…I’m driving and need this random question that just popped into my head unrelated to anything happening answered and really don’t want to pull over to read a screen.

In the mean time, Americans that had contracts with the government under legislation-approved spending are at risk of losing family farms etc due to his actions. The law may sort it out, but it’ll likely be too late for many. Especially since he seems unwilling to obey court orders

If these were just audits, maybe I’d agree. The executive stopping payments authorized by congress is not ok. Just do it the right way, that’s all I ask. The legislature has the power of the purse. The executive can’t not spend what congress said to spend.

I’m not opposed to cutting fraud and waste. Very much in favor of it. It’s the blatant disregard for our founding document that I have issue with

This. I don’t feel capable of playing many games without mine. If/when this thing stops working I’m screwed

It’s funny to me how folks who were mad at the government for grocery prices 6mo ago are now mad at corporations for grocery prices.

Maybe one if these years I can make the trip. Was kinda hoping to this year and then, ya know, got told I was unemployed

It’s not that…it’s that they hate the same people, so they’ll take whatever comes with electing someone who shares that hatred

I think the most dangerous phrase in the English language is, “there oughta be a law”

But..

There oughta be a law - singing “la da da da da” to any AI assistant means it responds with “it’s the MF’ing D-O-double-G”

Just saying, I’d be in favor of a law that makes life a little more fun for once

Just learned about changes to Founders Card and a benefit I signed up for being replaced. I’m not sure it’s worth it to me now…

I miss the old days of the internet where you could just surf from site to site, be entertained or educated and not be bombarded by ads or paywalls. I get folks need to earn a living, but it’s just too off putting to enjoy it now

I have 3 left. Figure it’s 15ish matches when I look at my average plunder gain

Well holy shit. There’s a name I ain’t seen in ages. WB!

One of my pet peeves with announcers is constantly saying “the football”. Just call it “the ball”, adding the specificity implies you (or someone) thinks there may also be another type of ball in use…or you think the extra syllable makes you sound smarter.

This is why I rarely post. I realized most things on social media are basically the text equivalent of the Abe Simpson yelling at clouds meme

Holy shit. I remember those ads, but for some reason conflated them with diners club card. Thanks for the blast from the past

Waking up still feeling like this…

I see me in there on two different, but similarly named, toons

Georgia can lose this game, win the SEC championship and wind up getting a playoff bye with THREE losses. I understand rewarding a team for winning a conference, but that just feels wrong

IMO, the TV edit of Christmas Vacation is almost unwatchable. So many iconic lines “cleaned up” and lose their punch

i forgot 2 dashes bitters

I may play with this one a bit and drop 1/2oz of cider to add bourbon. It’s tasty as it is, but also kinda comes off as a way to hide the “alcohol flavor”

Not equal parts. 2oz each of cider and bourbon, 2 tablespoons (1/2oz) of apple butter.

I have that same tree topper
