One of the funniest things in baseball is a bench-clearing non-fight. Just a bunch of guys milling around chatting kinda angrily. Even the pitchers come jogging in from center field like, "hey guys don't stand around doing nothing without us."

Make sure to check your kids' candy I just found a pumpkin shaped Reese's where the thinner wall is actually a better ratio of chocolate to peanut butter than the original cups and like, kids don't deserve that. That's for us.

Well this is very nice. Thank you @alexfalcone.bsky.social

I've got lots of practice sleeping but like once a year I'll lay down and have no idea where my arms are supposed to go.

Hold up so now Take and Bake Pizza is trying to claim there's an implied middle step where I pay? That's not what the sign says!

A.I. people love to say "right now it's the worst it'll ever be" as if we haven't watched all websites get steadily worse over the last 10 years. You think it's going to be better once they bloat it with a million data trackers and pump it full of ads?

like Singing in the Rain in real life!

A fun bit at the theater would be when they announce that some understudy is doing the role of somebody or other for the night you yell "aw damn it" and storm out.

More genres of music should operate mariachi style. I'd enjoy table side DJ service. A roving barbershop quartet. A punk band where the bass player uses that chubby guitar.

This week on the Fun Fact Friday I go DEEP on Dr. G and his spot plus a fun self-indulgent puzzle. Click through to read and decide if you want more of this kind of crap in your life.

Are progress bars a scam? Find out on another episode of my hit series.

I tried so hard to tell people but the internet doesn't want them to know!

you think i would write this if i hadn't just gone through multiple hellish nightmares with chat bots? the only reason anybody would do this to their customers is a) they haven't tried it and don't know how bad it is or b) they hate them

Minneapolis has been my most requested city for a while and I finally have shows on sale there! Downside is it seems cold in January. alexfalcone.ninja

Using an AI chat bot as customer service is a way of telling your customers "fuck you google it"

Pro tip when your wife has a doctor's appointment don't text her "happy pappin'" she won't like it.

An opinion I will never give up is it's better to die in a valley than a hill.

I want my last words to be "no matter what I look like in 10 minutes don't let them take me away I'm not dead I'm just pretending."

I'm so excited you can tell.

5 things you may not know were named after people.

She didn't ask but I would have given Dolly a kidney if she needed. Or just wanted. I'd still give her one if she just wants like an extra or something.

Are Bass Pro Shops a scam?

A free idea for a creepy Halloween costume.

One of the most satisfying feelings is assembling a piece of furniture. Followed closely by the feeling of assembling it a second time after you realize you put one of the panels in upside down and have to take it all apart and start over.

A newly released study shows yet another thing we can do to mice that they don't like.

*holding up a shirt* this is massive, this would cover my body 10 times over, I can't believe how huge this is.

*puts the shirt on* it's a little snug

Hotel desk has this under it, a sharp piece of wood, right in the middle, at exactly shin height. I hope whoever designed it drowns in their own piss.
