I get paid to press buttons on the Internet. Literally and quite often figuratively.

I sure do love a good documentary and “jo nesbo’s detective hole” sounds mysterious and saucy.
These fraught times call for a show with what is either an intentionally or unintentionally hilarious title, and which I will be talking about for the rest of the year

"I'd be enjoying this a lot more if your husband was dead."
Something you can say during sex and at the Melania movie.

A number of people from out-of-state have been opening tabs at small businesses—coffee shops where people on patrol can grab a drink and warm up, bars where people can be in community, etc. It’s been a deeply appreciated form of solidarity and helps the businesses closing tomorrow.
how (if at all) can we support the minnesota general strike on friday from afar?

FYI if this kind of thing makes you mad, you should know that you can call up a school and pay off these asinine lunch debts.
We have unlimited money for paramilitary forces that kidnap people off the streets but also have something called "school lunch debt" what are we doing here

A zillion hot takes already had but I find this video absolutely stunning. The Fed won’t fart in public for fear of influencing the Depends market. They debate every word they write and say.

A reminder that the US has kidnapped a head of state and spouse in a live-fire military invasion for “drugs” while the Sackler family walks free.

I have bronchitis *and* flu-a, and my four year old just informed us that she would like to begin living alone due to terrible parenting (e.g, bedtime)
“Wait until you hear from Fritz Kaegi” was the retort. Instead of “no” we’re just going to get her a young start hating property valuation & tax.

~60 pounds ago, I was buying a t-shirt at the Apple store and ran into Tim Cook. He was very kind; his assistant was extremely antsy because they were running late to a meeting or something. Cook didn't care. He chatted and graciously posed for a selfie. Good thing I hadn't showered or shaved yet...

Not sure I agree. I have the flattest of flat asses and oh did you know the F40PH locomotive can generate 2.4 MW? Also that picture frame is absolutely crooked.

I missed one and I’m not telling which because it’s embarrassing and I knew right after I tapped.
Confirmation that I’m both plugged in perhaps too much and occasionally illiterate.

Yes, people do use @theonion.com’s wrapping paper inserts in case you were wondering. Also, passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood

Been a 🏴☠️ through the 90s (ask your parents about IRC & FTP) and now I’m torrenting… 60 Minutes? We were supposed to be scared of the RIAA over our MP3 stash, not CBS over the news.
Anyway, honor remains true and I’m seeding 10:1.

Update on the day: as a pre-dentist treat I prepared to dig into a slice of red velvet cake from a local bakery.
They forgot to put sugar in the frosting, my favorite part. I did not enjoy a mouthful of whipped butter.
Off to the dentist; maybe they’ll amputate something in error.

When I'm not busy breaking syrup bottles and then stepping on glass (both feet! never half-ass an avoidable injury!) my kid's secretly drinking her beloved Bachan's miso sauce straight from the bottle.
Anyway, I'm here to catch up on all the normal, happy things going on elsewhere today... 🌈
