I always figured cracker barrel's peak time was 4
"how many hats in the Prancing Pony Frodo?" "Is a helmet a hat?"
After a long day begging for more/different food, my cat is spending #GingerCatAppreciationDay resting
Except he does say in the variant involving a doctor that he as a doctor took a oath to do no harm and thus can not harm others to save a life
The Lipwig ones are my favorites, I honestly wish there were more
I'm going to say it, not the best political cartoon
Short 🧵 When I taught South African history a couple of years ago, I spent a week talking about mining and labor struggles. One of the main features of the initial stages of both gold and diamond mining there (this is pre-Rhodes) was that anyone could own a claim, regardless of race.
It took a $5 Amazon tool off Amazon, but I flipped the lock
This would be a fun sticker page
The idea that you "arent using it to the full capacity" seems like a guilt trip. People are told this should be useful, should be game changing, but it isn't, and they are treating it like it's their fault
Flashback to the Reagan days
His wife was super pissed that they buried poor soldiers on the land. Glad she died unhappy
Futurama predicts the future
We all know God is a Powerade guy
I was thinking Jane Austen vs Zombie George Washington
I've probably seen this image like 20 times today, and it's the first time it's clicked it's a dead Twitter bird instead of a poorly drawn Sonic the Hedgehog
First time I've sobbed at the end of a video essay
Feel free to do so, not like I'll see
So you think an incredibly condescending person posting a screenshot of a Republican senator opinion piece in a right wing newspaper is the better strategy?
That's my primary source for learning about them, just insane it's not a bigger story
I see these farmers with shotguns when I land my pod. Their power level is 5. Not even worth a Saibaman. I destroy him.
Tom Clancy's The Conquest of Bread
We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:
When I moved into my current place the first thing I did was get a bidet, mostly out of fear of another toilet paper shortage
Isn't this the plot of that old game Parasite Eve?
I saw a number pad deadbolt was on sale so I decided to upgrade my locks
PG is great, can't wait to see this
Great episode
Jim Davis?
I wonder what the response would be in the writers room if someone pitched an upcharge for a note.
Should have had James Gunn sit behind an editors desk and say "quick note, we exist here now"
Yeah it was a good storm last night
keep in mind when the video gets dark that this was FULLY DAYTIME
The cats are aligning
Just Koopa and his bread basket making their way across the world. #MarioKartWorld
I look forward to being paid to get my inhalers
Gotta love desert rain
I really liked Long Story Short. Mostly funny with a few emotional moments sprinkled in. The style of telling a story with different moments in time is great, and I love the art style. Can't wait for season 2.
Really want some giant FDR banners in the next admin
If they abandoned their ideology so quickly why assume their feelings were legitimate. It makes more sense to believe they thought, "this won't poll well with our base, oh shit, guess we were wrong".
Who is the guy on the left doing work while his boss is posing for a picture?
I had my "once every three years" craving for meatloaf and I made a better version of this, with leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches.
Don't forget the stick of butter
I definitely listen to a lot of those, so I feel ya there. The other thing that worked really well driving for me was short story collections. Economy of words sometimes led to more efficient mental imagery
Have you tried nonfiction, non biography audiobooks? I used to listen to a lot of audio books when Uber Eats driving, and some books elicited fewer mental images because they aren't intending to
I go back outside, he says he could do it all for $150 just him, I say no. I was going to give him $20 for wasting his time, but fuck that. I'll just buy new hardware and it'll be less than $100
My roommate has lost a lot of keys and it makes me feel not great, so I called a locksmith company, guy on the phone says free estimate. Guy gets out here, takes a look, says it's $555 for 3 doors. I say no, he says there is a $135 service call. He asks to see a key, I go inside and call the company
After watching The Big Lebowski I have officiated 5 weddings
I think that has the potential to work. People like when you say things you believe are true that are taboo to say. People know the media is biased, but "serious people" aren't supposed to talk it, so talk about it
Like you said, withholding treatment is a punishment. You know it, I know it, the prisoner knows it. Does punishment reduce the likelihood that a person will reoffend? No
If a politician knows people are being told to vote no matter what they have no incentive to change so they aren't going to. The politicians need to not be shitty and earn the vote
If you convince the one politician to learn the lesson you don't need to convince the thousands of voters you need. Seems easier to convince the one politician to not be shitty.
Seems like the lesson to be learned is "if a lot of potential voters are saying your position is shit you should reevaluate to not alienate then"
And see I thought the experience was supposed to be rehabilitation in an effort to reduce the likelihood they commit crimes again.
I think part of it for some people is them thinking "we can't admit that this group of people was right about this."
Best in the series?!?
I'll never forget my mom, who exclusively watched the show, asking me what happens and her being very confused when I told her that the I Ching said their reality wasn't real. She was very confused
Definitely not as much charisma, but I think he has a Supreme Court and House Speaker who are absolutely ready to consolidate power behind him.
Okay, the hypocrisy is pointed out. What is step 2?
In the future when they talk about about Poster's Madness this will be one of the key examples.
The way she posted this suggests she wants to farm replies for a sequel article "Bluesky people were mean to me"
#AZ07 Register today!! iwillvote.com Your vote is your voice and it's more important than ever. If you think you're registered go check!! People have been removed without them knowing. #Arizona @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social
I saw a car as I walking through the parking lot with a Coyotes plate, a Flames sticker on the bumper, and a Maple Leafs sticker on the back glass. Who is this person?
Well I know what I will be doing in the near future.
Mostly the same. I really enjoyed the first one, second was just okay, but the third one was like running into a brick wall.
Idk about you, but I'm friends with everyone who bribes me
Sour cream and onion is a solid chip flavor, let's see if this plays with the voters
Is it too late to do a knockoff rug pull, because we can definitely get boats with eyes full of ennui
My Adventures with Superman is so good, love that show. Don't know why more people don't talk about it
Probably going to need a bigger knife if he wants to take a head
So like that one hand chair, but the fingers are dicks?
Damn. What about Haunted Chocolatier?
Will Silksong finally be out?
So many on the left are not willing to do even basic coalition politics, like selling out their friends and neighbors
Classic Tv dinners like Hungry Man have gotten worse, but there are a few newer entries into the market that are pretty good
Kelly Yu embodies everything we should want as Americans. But our immigration system is so broken, we'll deport Kelly instead of putting our resources towards true reform. Locking up law abiding immigrants just to score political points is disgusting. #FreeKellyYu
It does seem like a few legitimately think that was the goal of their political project. I hope that this them eventually comes with them accepting many of the leaders did not have the same goal
Okay, but in Stardew Valley Krobus moves into my house.
When I walk to the bar down the street there are two upside down flags and one guy has at least five different Resistance/Fuck Trump banners
But the Jaguar controller is too powerful to emulate, and how can you leave this one out?
I really enjoyed the beginning and middle of Cult of the Lamb, but I thought it was a slog at the end and gave up before beating it. Still very fun and worthwhile experience
If the preschools are requiring IQ tests they have some fucked up ideas about people.
One of the many moments in Maus that really stuck with me
If I won the lottery I wouldn't tell anyone, but there would be signs
She learned it from her trainer who armed the Contra
She can't help it, it's built into the CIA since Paperclip
Sum 41 Million
In mind the "I hate Bart Simpson" graffiti stuff lasts longer, I was surprised to hear it was so short
No, it's an image file depicting a drawing of a pipe
@scalzi.com my cat Lynx seems to like your book
Seems weird to describe Roberts as "drifting right" and not "was always against the decision"
Roberts was a "no" vote in Obergefell, he doesn't need to drift right.
It was a really good point, honestly I'm surprised I hadn't heard anyone talk about it before.
He saw Creed and was terrified
Yeah, family is a total stress reliever. That's why everyone I know with kids is chill all the time, and family holidays are super mellow
Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping” turns 28 today. The song “didn’t belong to an elite group of musicians,” said Boff Whalley. “It belonged to people. People at football matches, people singing along — people at parties drinking too much whiskey and tripping over the kitchen chairs. People like me.”
We can't let children know about Disco Duck
