It's especially fucked coming from Sona, a proud Armenian-American who has spoken out for years about the Armenian Genocide and is incredibly silent on *waves to all of this shit*

Why was I even there? My boyfriend who I had just started dating (who I married and have been with for 11 years now) wanted to see him and I was like...okay but he sucks at this, you know that, right? And he was like, no he's great and then by the end of the night he saw how bad he was at his job.

I can't express to you how badly Bill Burr was bombing and how mad he was getting, and my heckling actually put the show back on track, especially if you're a fan of a big baby boy who had a rich dentist daddy growing up complaining about a lack of a sandwich. He's the failson of a failed doctor.

Bill Burr melted down at the Tarrytown Music Hall in 2015- he was bombing and resorted to "women don't make men sandwiches anymore" jokes so I yelled out, "make your own fucking sandwiches then!" and he proceeded to go on about "women buying their own flowers then!" so yeah he has always sucked shit

But then I got a Big Beef & Cheddar with curly fries and realized that the Saudi Royal Family was just misunderstood.

Every time they fail I cackle knowing he KNOWS that not watching games with me anymore is why they're such garbage and even though that couldn't possibly be true I KNOW his superstitious ass KNOWS it's true at the same time.

The only way the Yankees will ever win again is if my anti-abortion dickhead cousin apologizes to me for being an anti-abortion dickhead because he's a die-hard fan and ever since he showed his ass and tried to come for me they haven't won shit and they look goofy trying.

Flashing back to when I was in an offshoot Jezebel group that imploded when another member spilled the beans about all the other side-SIDE groups people had created about each other

If you were online before 2010 you know it's not a true mod crashout until a mod takes all the Adderall and then posts a sprawlingly incoherent sephiroth speech manifesto, breaks the site, and then vanishes for 3 months

And I don't even care about doing it! These freaks are the ones who keep saying, "so what are we doing for breakfast tomorrow" and then I get them to agree on the diner and then I say, "how about 11am" and that's when the wheels come off her they're fucking allergic to decisions

There are two kinds of people in the world: one who comes from a family who makes set plans for meeting up and one who comes from a family of wild, feral, demented streets cats who refuse to commit to a 6pm dinner reservation until 5:59pm and then those two ppl marry each other.

My local record shop is STILL out of Roy Donk albums #itysl

1989 was her opus and you cannot convince me otherwise because every album since has been, and I mean this, complete dogshit.

I never met Manchán Magan but I felt like I did through many years of absorbing his incredible work. What a deeply massive loss but what a life lived in such a short amount of time. One of my favorites was his Almanac of Ireland podcast series. Rest well, Manchán. open.spotify.com/episode/6rhO...

imagine flying halfway around the world for a meeting that could’ve been an email and some guy with a hangover is just shouting at you that it’s against the rules to be fat or gay

I know the 2010 revival of Lilith Fair really didn't work out but damn if they did it with the girlies we have today, mixed in with the old guard LF women? JFC it would be insane.

"All of America must be like Long Island" girl do you even know what that would actually mean?????

The New Jan Brady @grainnecuuisce.bsky.social · 11d

Again, no they're fucking not. Long Island is famously Hot Fucking Garbage and HAS been well before Trump became president. Begging Europeans to do the same research they demand of Americans.
