My excuse was "something went weird with the disc and I couldn't print it...I can't get back to the computer lab until 4, can I get it to you by 4:30?" and the prof went for it

We should all tell our stories like this...mine is "the time I totally forgot about an essay and cranked out a paper on Deleuze & Guattari's Anti-Oedipus in two hours and ended up winning an award for it"

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

In retrospect, for six giant refill bottles, this dish soap wasn't expensive at all. #economiesofscale

So, I made a mistake. I bought the dish soap I like online, because they stopped carrying it locally. I thought it seemed a little expensive, but what isn't now? Anyway, it seems I bought SIX big refill bottles. So that's dish soap squared away for the rest of my natural life

Gotta tell ya, this sounds like a job for Up with People if ever there was one (if you haven't seen "Smile 'Til It Hurts: The Up with People Story", you should do that, btw)

I would be overjoyed to walk into a holiday party and all the canapes were "(fill-in-the-blank) on toast"

Number 10 is kind of infinitive central. To serve, to endeavor, to present...also, I have questions about the comparative sentience of journalism, in that she wants it to understand things.

I have a headache.

What is the obsession with sans serif typeface? I got an Android update and everything now looks extremely meh

Ours was "scrambled hamburger", which was a thing one of my sisters said as a small child searching for the words to describe browning some ground beef

I have never seen Top Gun.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

This Strib story is bananas, Bee-A-N-A-N-A-S

taber @kvetch.gay · 5d

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

"Fish Cop" sounds like a show-within-a-show, like maybe it's what's on TV at Leo and Shelly's house in an episode of Twin Peaks
