I know it’s supposed to be sweet but it made me remember the time I was running someone to the airport and I got so distracted rambling on and on and chatting that I missed our exit and added a half an hour onto our journey. So, technically true.

It had better be something cool fortune cookie, like werewolfism or being a hulk, and not something lame like being more empathetic or patient…yuck!!!

I just tried doing this (with “Yakety Sax”), but can’t figure out how to upload it so the sound works.

I broke my Scrooge McDuck. ☹️

Gonna go out on a limb and say not a lot of other 48 year olds can say thevm same thing. At least not with the same pathos and melancholy I infuse it with.

Inadvertently parked next to this thing at one of my stops today and spent the entire time glancing at it every few seconds to make sure a murder-clown wasn’t watching me from within it.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

i need to move to a country that is experiencing mass religious psychosis, violent civil rights erosion, and a hyperconsolidation of economic and political power among the moneyed elite. But I ALSO need it to be opposed in name only by a coalition of feckless aristocrats. Does anyone know of one?

Was moving some stuff around and this dude fell of a shelf, hitting me in the back of the head. An underhanded sneak attack from Piper, how fitting. #roddypiper #ljnwrestlingsuperstars

The added height of the fire pit makes it easier to keep track of Jason while he’s taking pictures of stupid flowers.

After some consideration, the most spectacularly inept villains in fictional history are the Decepticons.

They transform into into guns and fighter jets. They fight people who transform into the space-equivalent of VW Beetles.

They have been unsuccessfully waging this war for FIVE MILLION YEARS.

Would I rather have Godzilla or a T-Rex hold my toilet paper for me? Quite the conundrum.

Mom’s mug. Nothing to brag about. Clara also thinks dead bugs and bunny poo are awesome so her criteria are suspect. 🫤

obviously this is an especially cursed loadout, but the absolute ubiquity of pocketknife-as-male accessory is striking, even in relatively liberal spaces

"but maybe i need to open a package" come on. be honest with yourself
