Also I watched Pink Flamingos (1972) for the first time last night and now I get it.

Couch

The street in Portland is named after John Heard Couch, a founder of the city, and his name is pronounced "kootch".

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Yeah, I can see that. Lotta folks realizing they're not going to appreciate in value at this point.

I love your love!

He's a good pickle, and the team fully supports him :)

At Metro (the dump, basically) and I've never seen anyone bring a whole vehicle before

In a large covered structure with mounds of garbage and recycling on either side. Someone has backed up a cybertruck.

I am definitely not up on what she said it would be, so maybe there's a similar disconnect for others.

The Grim Spectre of Christian Lipski @christianlipski.bsky.social · 10h

That's totally fair! I'll admit I haven't given it a lot of time.

In place of a blonde singer we will have a QUEEN! Not dark, but sunny, and country as a gingham dress! Jolene shall look upon her, and despair!

Oh no. We ALL prayed for her. She is going to be... unstoppable now.

Gabe Ortíz @tusk81.bsky.social · 20h

“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious … She’s been a little under the weather and I simply asked for prayers bc I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up.”

because I see this blowing up, I want to be clear: Newsom "declin[ing] to sign" the other bills DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE VETOED.

the pocket veto _does not exist in CA_, so if Newsom does not sign nor veto them within the allotted period, they become laws without his signature.

This is a really good critique of not only the new album, but of Swift's business model.

Saeed Jones @theferocity.bsky.social · 1d

“We don’t have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn’t art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people’s songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It’s content.”

WHEW.

The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

Hey Californians: there's still a chance to tell this jackass to do the right thing.

emily moonlight @threnody.bsky.social · 1d

hi, cis folks in california!
