i was making up the guest room for a friend who’s crashing with us tn and i got the fitted sheet on the bed perfectly in one try. didn’t even have to like examine it to align it properly or anything. the lesson here, of course, is never think about anything before you do it

I just ✨love✨ when the recycling/trash folks hit the wrong button on the truck's compactor so a glass bottle falls out & breaks at the foot of my driveway, and leaves it for me to clean up. This is the quality public service I pay taxes for!

When they inevitably don't renew the ACA subsidies, I sarcastically look forward to all the industry med folks crying about how our sales tanked because NO ONE is getting basic medical care unless it's an emergency

Mamdani is going to implement Shami kebab law. With extra chilli and garlic sauce, to annoy MAGA even more.
