I just call them the Supremes now.

They're not a "court" anymore.

More generally, stop blaming the people of DC (a mid-Atlantic city midway in size between Boston and Baltimore) for the clowns the rest of you choose to send here to represent yourselves in a body that we have zero say in.

The main selling point of NYC pizza seems to be "the portions are so small!"

"Not all southerners" is to American electoral politics what "not all men" is to feminism.

there’s always a big stupid discourse on this website about how southern states are full of good people and but for the interference of the politicians, they’d all vote the right way, but abbott won by more than ten points in the last election, maybe texas just fucking sucks

I really want to see a Transformers cartoon or comic where one of the Autobots is a Cybertruck, and all it does is try to transform into a robot inside parking garages only to smash its head into a concrete ceiling.

You've never had a job where you could simultaneously be in the office and off the clock? At my office we call it "lunch." (That's how I'm able to post now!)

Shouldn't a map of the top pizza chain "in each state and territory" include each state and territory?

Okay, the map excludes DC. Annoying, but tbf DC is technically neither a state nor a territory. But USVI, Guam, NMI, and American Samoa *are* territories, and nowhere to be seen here.

I was wondering why I'd never heard of the "top" pizza chain in both the state where I was born and raised and the state that's closest to my home in a non-state US possession, but apparently I've been spared the horror of Hunt Brothers "pizza" by virtue of not owning a car.

Mr. C needs only an unwholesome attraction to furniture to be any more J.D. Vance.

The MoCo approach to traffic safety in a nutshell: if you drive too fast for the conditions and hit and seriously injure someone who's *inside* *a* *building*, that's a "nobody's fault" oopsie. (It's obviously not your fault!)

On Tues 9/2/25 9:20 am
a worker (65/F) who was in a janitor's closet

who was going too fast for conditions
in the Bonifant-Dixon parking garage.
Police (MCP34140023) did not find anyone at fault.

Business trip to FLETC to review requests for FEMA assistance. A lot of subject matter experts took us aside afterwards and said "if this is in Brunswick next year, don't invite me."

(Outside of FLETC was even worse. We tried a restaurant and the locals tried to pick a fight with the SMEs.)

Brunswick, Georgia. In retrospect I would have been happiest just spending the week at the Jacksonville airport.

(Breezewood, Pennsylvania would also be a contender, except it’s not really a “city” and in any case is much classier than Brunswick.)

Maybe:…… @getthebagcoach.bsky.social · 9d

What’s the worst city you’ve visited?

I’ll never go back to Myrtle Beach SC if somebody paid me

I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

To be fair, they call it "AI" and not "ai."

Thanks to @waba.org for putting on the 50 States Ride this weekend! (I now hate Garfield Street NW!) Unfortunately, while I requested the largest size t-shirt I only got an XL. Were 2XLs available and, if so, is there any way I could trade for a larger shirt?

He was, in fact, entirely alone!

But before she called, I heard him tell the server he would be cheating on his diet. (2/2)

The guy next to me at lunch was having a increasingly desperately wheedling phone conversation with his girlfriend, insisting he was out having lunch, he was by himself, nobody was with him, you don't need to come and check, don't you trust me baby? (1/2)
