Trying to imagine what it'd take for me to yell at a server. Like if I ordered an omelette and they brought me a bowl of rats? But I'd probably still just be like "I'm sorry, you seem to have brought me someone else's bowl of rats."

And I won’t forget the men who died
To play the song “Movies”

Incredible that one of the right’s main go-to musicians is still Lee Greenwood with his one song. Alien Ant Farm had more hits.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Saw a place advertising Taco Tuesday but they just mean they sell tacos. There's no discount. That's not Taco Tuesday, that's just a menu.

Oh, Gavin Newsom? Well I'm not so sure about the wolf part, but the sheep's clothing seems nice!

There was a time you could occupy the internet for a whole day by asking something like "is it 'hock' a loogie or 'hawk' a loogie?"

Nobody at the sports bar seems to care that Phillies pitcher Jesús Luzardo has a name similar to seminal noise rock band The Jesus Lizard. I guess I’ll never fit in.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

One of my favorite JRRT burns on Lewis was calling That Hideous Strength "That Hideous Book" (he was also right imo)

Start investing now, even if it's just a once a month $5 venmo payment to me I'll really appreciate it.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

You know that feeling when you try to swim in the ocean, then a big wave pushes you back, you're spitting up water as the next one floors you and now there's sand in your trunks, you don't know which way you're facing anymore and your nose is full of brine? Anyway I'm just catching up on the news.

We go together like the Wendigo and the cold piercing shriek of an October wind? Don, thank you sincerely for remembering me as the original king of Wendigo comedy. It has made me extremely wealthy.

Don @skittishsav.bsky.social · 4d

Unless I've got this wrong, which is a distinct possibility, @seanthomason.bsky.social is the original Wendigo guy from back in the old days on that other site, in my mind they go together like two things that go together (I can't think of an example atm), worth a follow if you aren't already

Oh great now my dog won’t shut up about how the flow of information shapes everything and also for some reason the history of alchemy 😑

I guess I'd describe this general moment as the richest people in the world are having a fantastic time but still pissed the rest of us aren't celebrating them enough.

Paramount is about to pay $150 million for this

New article from The Free Press

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human

“Not everyone is happy about this gorgeous innovation,” writes Tyler Cowen.

Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

That is a WILD leap! They talked to my parents about moving me forward a grade but they thought it'd be bad for me socially, instead I wound up in a 3rd grade class with a bunch of rough boys who'd been held back and lemme tell ya, that wasn't so great either
