Was trying to ring in a new-to-me brand of frozen empanadas, but they weren’t in the system, so the attendant did a price check and said they were $9.99, and added, “They must be great at that price!” And I had to stop myself from telling her they were $2 cheaper than the ones I usually get.

"But who will think of the poor chickenshit bullies!" is something you will only hear from someone who identifies with the chickenshit bullies.

Tolerance and normalization of believing law enforcement and gun fetish dudes saying "I felt threatened" and "I was scared" as justification for their assaults is partially what got us here. You can attack us all because you are a coward with undealt with emotional issues? No wonder you work for ICE

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

Yesterday I tried to find the account Beans wrote about and I felt good when I realized I had apparently blocked and forgotten about it quite some time ago.

The judges say the race for the prize was close, but that he lost out due to “everything about him”

Yeah, I can imagine it being a regular occurrence in certain parts of the States. Kinda sad my trips to L.A. and NYC pre-dated my record collecting. Probably would have scored some more then.

PEACEMAKER is the kinda show that can make me ugly cry with happiness with a line where one character calls the other an asshole.

I'd never heard of Law when I bought the album, but it turns out she was a Irish-Canadian singer/actor who popped up during one of @dekkoparsnip2.bsky.social's streaming nights when he played clips from this Halloween special she co-starred in.

FB memories reminded me of the time I bought a used album for $3 and got it home and realized it was autographed. I feel like this is a painfully accurate example of the disposability of pop celebrity.

Talk shows always prep guests before their appearances to determine what stories they should tell, if they are willing to do bits and anything they might end up doing in the show. No one just shows up and talks without anyone knowing what's going to happen.

I can't speak for everyone, but in my experience as the person who's been on the other end of this, we truly, deeply and sincerely wanted you to get an approved script a week earlier, but we had to wait until the last possible second too. 😂

Am I the only one who now goes, "Oh no...." after clicking on a new movie trailer that looks like it could be promising but the first thing shown is the MGM logo?

Gisele Pelicot was dragged back into court this week because one of her convicted rapists decided he didn’t want to “bear the burden” of being labelled a rapist.

He appealed and made her re-live the horrific crime.

The court denied his appeal and handed him a longer sentence.

Man who appealed Pelicot rape conviction handed longer jail term

A French court increases by a year the jail term of the only man who challenged his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot.

I've been listening to The Beaches since LATE SHOW came out in 2017 and it still took me until today to find out they're a Canadian band from Toronto. I don't know if this makes me a bad fan, a bad Canadian or both.

Why, yes! I am enough of a petty bitch to delete a decade-old Linkedin recommendation I made for someone who has since ghosted me without explanation.

This is accurate. "I will never change my mind about anything and will reject as false any information that might cause me to" is a core part of MAGA identity.

Legit don’t think there’s anything Trump could do to drop below like 39-40% approval.

He could crash the economy AND have the military shooting people in the streets and he’d still poll at like 39.9% lol

According to the Spire Christian Comics Archie comic I accidentally read when I was a kid, animals can't go to heaven because they don't have a soul and therefore cannot have faith in god, so clearly what Kim saw was Kirk being forced to ride horses with a hippie in hell.

Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 2d

A tearful Kim Robinson reports that God showed her that Charlie Kirk was rewarded with a horse ranch in Heaven and she saw "Charlie riding on a horse, with Jesus."

MAGA having the cultural megaphone is like talking to someone who insists they're the most sophisticated and discerning lover of fine art in the world and then you go to their house and see nothing but Thomas Kinkaide prints on every wall.

It's interesting listening to an audiobook that was written but not read by someone you've talked to in real life. You can hear their personality and inflections but they're coming via a different voice. It really highlights how much of a writer's personality comes across in their text.
