Um... Walmart has alocasia listed for sale and look at these fake ass photos directly in their app. Criminal

A clearly fake image of a green elephant ear plant with many leaves that are so big they tower over the house and are bigger than the SUV in the driveway.

My confederate neighbor told me the submarine keeps drowning his sailors so I asked how many sailors he has and he said he just goes to the navy and gets new sailors afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding sailors to the ocean and then his commanding officer started crying

“The confederacy sent into action the world’s first combat submarine, the CSS Huntley, which sank three times in trials, drowning the crew each time (including its inventor Horace Huntley) before sink a blockade ship near Charleston in 1864 while going down itself for the fourth and last time”

I had family in Oconomowoc, and when (on the east coast) a new coworker arrived from Oconomowoc I said “ah, you’re the guy from Oconomowoc!” and he was stunned into silence.

Like this is not life advice. I should have done more homework in school. But leaning on GenAI is like giving yourself a daily lobotomy. Or pulling out your own teeth. You’re robbing yourself of survival skills and reverting to a pond organism.

I have mine in a binder made for baseball cards, each with a piece of paper with the date I received it and an explanation. 😇

Except by the time I decided to do that, I’d already forgotten the circumstances of many of them, so the notes just say things like “2006? 2007?”

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

In an old ad for board game Scattergories in Spain a player was shown flouncing out while anothet said “OK, we’ll accept ‘octopus’ as a pet”.
“Aceptamos pulpo” has now entered the language in the meaning of “that’s a bit of a stretch but let’s go with it just for the sake of argument”.

The skeletons need to rise up and defend their turf. This is not normal. Halloween itself is at stake because of the consistent erosion of norms.

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”
