Also I know these are “non lethal” but you’ve still got to have serious balls to stand your ground while a bunch of cops fire at you. Portland Frog, we salute you.

I think it’s a pity that Corpse Bride never got the acclaim that Nightmare Before Christmas did.

There was a whole campaign at Wendy's with like secret bloody dipping sauces and a Frosty with blood (cherry) in it. Why this wasn't tied into Halloween I'll never know.

If you're at a cafe with only a few outlets at tables but plenty of tables...maybe don't sit next to an outlet unless you actually need it.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Just using the language of white southern evangelicalism because that’s where this is rooted in.

I swear to god these people are either the world’s most prodigious liars OR they have never actually used the internet for any source of community at all. 12 year olds could have told them this would happen. You can’t tell me everyone at OpenAI is that dumb.

I’m from Texas. Can someone tell me why they picked Abilene, a town in West Texas that gets little rain for their water-boiling data center?

I have a BA in English. I use those reasoning skills every day.

I also have an MBA. That’s why I can take one look at these people’s “business model” and know they’re insane.

I haven’t been there in years, seems like most of the retro Mac community is now on tinker different and YouTube.

It’s cool how the shutdown is right before voting.

🐹 Before viral videos on TikTok or YouTube, there was Hampsterdance.

Full of dancing hamster GIFs & a sped-up tune, it became one of the internet’s first viral hits.

You can still dance to it on the #WaybackMachine ➡️ web.archive.org/web/19991222...

“Become ungovernable” I think to myself as I shove the 4 layer peanut butter sandwich with no jelly I have constructed into my mouth.

At least this one looks like an envelope…but it also implies it is Word but wrapped.
