Dolly is our most “You’ve gotta preface any mention of this person with preemptive confirmation that they are alive and well” American, and I don’t think it’s particularly close.

Inhalers keep people alive.

Live people breathe.

Breathing generates CO2.

It’s just science.

New: Broadview, IL Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order today - her first this year - limiting protest outside the Broadview ICE facility to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The order cites "recent escalation of violence by ICE" at the facility as reason to restrict protest there.

Goodnight, SNBD. I feel safer already knowing that you have my back.

Tried to take the dog out, only to learn that I no longer control the entrance to my house. No, Señor NightmareBiteyDemon owns the doorway now.

As you were, sir. We will use the back door. Or a window.

I'm wheezing.

Now, UCLA's interim head coach, Tim Skipper, is tied with Franklin with one career top-10 win against a Big Ten opponent.

In ‘23, Michigan got the crew back together for one last heist, and they won a title. In ‘24, Ohio State did the same thing.

In ‘25, Penn State got the crew back together for one last heist, and now everyone is stuck watching this train wreck.

It’s Ocean’s 12. Penn State is Ocean’s 12.

Cal, New Mexico, UNLV, and Tulane each have more Big Ten wins than does Penn State.

It’s Week 6.

Congratulations, James Franklin. That was now only the SECOND dumbest thing I saw today.

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok

i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

It’s almost worse when your get-right game is a team this bad. No matter how well it goes, you still feel like “yeah but this doesn’t count.”

HE knew they weren’t gonna come back. WE knew they weren’t gonna come back. EVERYONE knew they weren’t gonna come back.

But that doesn’t mean you don’t PRETEND YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE.
