Tryin’ to win this saucepan on DealDash but a bunch of newbie rubes keep bidding immediately instead of waiting until the bid run so no one gets their time toward free bids.

Also DealDash won’t let you put “chinga la migra” as your tag line. Weak.

A green enamel cast iron saucepan with a lid on the DealDash site. Current bid at $3.49

A kid at work mentioned it and after I told him I didn’t know what that was, he said (mysteriously) “no one does.” 🤷🏻‍♀️

But I’m so bummed to hear about the world losing both Diane Keaton and Tony Fitzpatrick today.

My job may not “pay” “enough money” but I really do like it. Like a lot.

That being said, I did not enjoy the musical stylings (aka, the most boring covers imaginable, sung wayyyy off key) of The Pickleband that played Picklepallooza there today. 😅

I’m so jacked to plan my dishes for this years Friendsgiving. I really want to steal mashed potatoes from the hosts because mine are way better, but I think I’ll do some math on that before I make a move. Might be a touchy subject! Is kimchi soup a no? Yes. Ooooh what will I make I’m so excited

I can’t watch the baseball game but I have been refreshing the Google result for “cubs game” every ~20 minutes or so and, uh, has it been in the bottom of the 5th for like two hours?

ICE showed up at the Hammond Police Station this morning and were told to get the fuck out, and we got a memo just now that ICE is not allowed on any city property. For whatever it's worth.

Thank you, Pete. I have changed it to "scan"

In terms of a QR code, would you say "click" for info, or "scan" for info? (Does it matter?)

I saw it on IG and honestly it was such a relief to me, because I woke up this morning worrying about her!

They should have a scrolling feed at the bottom of the screen during this show that explains what exactly these dopes are currently fighting about.

An ad for very normal times in a very normal country

Screenshot of an Instagram ad I got for protective gear showing a type of bulletproof (?) vest and a belt with holster and gun

Initially misread as "Slash" so I imagined Slash going to town splashing around in a swimming pool (yes with his hat on)

I got a flyer in the mail for an off-brand internet service for $35 a month and I’m very CONSIDERING it
