All I know about the novel is that it apparently spends a whole page on dropping brand names, and that made me want to never read it, I already suffered through Hammet using almost a page to describe how Spade rolls a cigarette - that's reading time I will never get back. :D
Never fails to make me LOL.
Does that mean poor dude got to hear No all his life before?
And 11yos to have their rapists' babies. Trans people aren't responsible enough until 25 to decide their healthcare decisions but in most states children can marry. (California has no minimum with parental consent so parents can pimp any age child to a man.)
17 year old Jackie Mitchell struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in 1931. Ruth's fee fees were hurt and threw a tantrum on how women were too delicate to play baseball. Due to his toddler like antics, women were banned from being signed in the MLB 1992.
Camouflage, that's how they trick their natural predators. :D
True, why not, they couldn't possibly top the story silliness of Jaws: The Revenge, that's for sure. The only way seems up; although, they'd go for a full CGI shark I bet, so there may still be space to go lower.
Your social circle sapphic needs to be informed of this

Unfortunately MAGA/MAHA will gobble this up as it tells them "Your hocus pocus home remedies are the true shit!" :/
Oh God, they gonna eye a remake now.
Seriously, anyone that uses "Chad" unironically has a problem.
Played assault down to a "misdemeanor"...

Gotta admit, that Stolen and Portal Runner cover would have tempted me.
If that's in the US, I fear a future school shooter in the making.
No disrespect meant to Peter Lorre: #Casablanca, #Ugarte
Some books should be tasted some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly. - Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
Franzen would know about being overrated (I read neither Forster nor Greene, so I don't really have an opinion on them).
He should have stepped outside and take a few breaths of fresh air, always helps.
Damn, I thought he was only into sofas.
Ew.
Crazy how some of the same people who think teenagers are too young to transition also think they are old enough to get married and have sex with adults
Brilliant. They don't do shows that fun anymore I feel.

A dangerous thing with feathers.
As if horror being dead could stop it in any way, if the (still going strong?) current of Zombie tales (and assorted other revenants) is anything to go by. :)
They are little people with fur, but far friendlier.
Am I the only one that believes we like dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets because they feel like petty revenge to our prehistoric part of the cortex which remembers all the friends that got eaten by dinos?
Conservatives really, really love banning Judy Blume. And tells you all you need to know about them. *sexually explicit content* my ass.
Title's "Giuseppe _of_ Pezzini" the emphasis is seemingly very important to that name, probs to distinguish the character from all the Guiseppes not of Pezzini.
don’t know who posted it originally but I so often sing the following I’m sorry miss jackson I am four eels never meant to make your daughter cry I am several fish and not a guy
I've been single since then.
Tomato Ketchup Aux Tomates? From what else can you make it?
Post a meme made by you.
Quarter of a century (or an entire generation), respect and congrats!
Damn it all. Having YT run in the background, usually their generated playlists are okay enough for me - but now I find them sneaking more and more AI generated shit videos in. :/
Take that back, you don't even now that slug to judge them thus!
Same. Haven't dated a lick in my life, but I always love to read people's (positive) takes on it. It sounds darn romantic.
If Roger Corman was still among us he might take that as a challenge. :D
My quote of the day I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag. Molly Ivins
Listening to Pink singing Me & Bobby McGee, and still think we should have gotten a Janis Joplin biopic starring Pink in the title role.
Ein Land dass sich Milliardäre(!) leistet, hat ein ganz anderes Problem als den Solzialstaat. :/
Kosten Suchus kling auch einwenig wie jede politische Bewegung.
Sadly my impression of the US is that that would make it easier for the candidate as they would have to fight "only" racism.
Damn, jetzt müssen auch schon gedruckte Bücher aufgeladen werden... 😆
How? It's a polite question?
Same. 😄
🇳🇱 KINDER NEWS♥️ Amsterdam is installing small wooden staircases along its canals after 19 cats drowned there in six months. The €100,000 project aims to help cats and other small animals safely climb out of the water, focusing on high-risk areas in collaboration with animal welfare groups.
Wouldn't he be more like, her great-grandfather by age. :D
Why do they dig a trenchline? Do they think they're at Omaha Beach?
Oder wir sagen einfach wieder Stinkreich weil sie reiche Stinker sind.
Maybe something happens on the way to the golf course, never lose hope!
Depends if they enjoy it.
What silly headline is that, anyway? You'd think the role of a headline is to convey an idea of what the article is about, but no, not in these internet times. *sigh*
Darn Franchise brain, I had to read that headline on the right three times to realize that they didn't mean Marvel as in the company...
Well, that's one migration really everyone should be able to agree on. :)
Oh, Night of the Creeps. Loved that movie so much back in the days. ❤️
I would make the funniest side note to history ever, if he had died and it was because he took health advice from Brainworms.
So one would not be amiss in saying it no longer tickles you fancy now that it kept tickling your nose? :)
Death Harder is the sequel, you should safe it for the other guy.
Seeing that cover makes me sad they never did the animated Buffy show.
Never in my time has one person's anticipated death brought so many people together. 😀
"Oppposing political views" is quite the wording there.
OMG, that's almost as stupid as that "They aborted my gf" reddit post I saw over at the bad place. :D
Let's go authors, this is your chance to slay a dragon.
😂
I'd have no clue, so berk away at me to your hearts content, I won't mind. :)
Manosphere: women in the 50s and 60s were just fine, look at how happy they were. Feminism ruined everything. Butisol 1965
MEMPHIS—FedEx filed a notification detailing 611 layoffs at its facilities in Shelby County less than a year after raking in huge corporate tax breaks from Gov. Bill Lee. Exhibit ♾️ that trickle down economics is really just welfare for the rich.
Took a moment. 😄
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:
That sled had its own Columbo episode, didn't it?
can't say that they were keeping god out of the classroom. protestants will smugly say Catholics deserve it for getting god wrong. believers will offer thoughts and prayers. no one will do anything. guns in america are not for opposing fascist tyrants. they are for slaughtering children.

Atari *something* XL I think it was called, contemporary to the C64 if memory serves.
Ah, but they are foundational.
Been wondering if Trump counts bombing Iran after they were attacked by Israel as "ending a war".
The pettiness of Evil:
"I can't be bought with money... wait, are those chips? I'm listening man, I'm listening."
As someone who has closely followed the effects of ChatGPT on people's mental health, the most shocking thing about this story is that it's *the first* wrongful death suit.
PSA: When your reaction to children asking you questions is "I don't want to have to explain that shit to them", you should not be around children, because asking questions is what they do, it's practically their job description.
“I before e, except after c…” …unless your neighbor weighs his eight-year-old in a sleigh. This "rule" is best thought of as an easy way to remember the spelling pattern of words that came to English from French. receive perceive conceive deceive deceit conceit receipt
That's comforting to know.
Depends on their eyesight.
Did a Cenobite write that? 😬
Would be more like "We're gonna need a bigger _taco_."
The Plague Dogs, I had watched Watership Down and still wasn't prepared for how bleak that movie is.
And this equation would never work anyway, the moment you show them a willingness to sacrifice one group they will just move on to the next one.
I think I still have the one with Nessie on the cover around somewhere. :)
Seems more like an accessory befitting a Dr Connors. :)
Justice prevailing, love that for them, and hopefully that landlord learned their lesson.
Also, sexpest Cuomo worrying about daughters? ORLY?
Getting Pixie anywhere near a Apocalypse button and telling her not to push it? That's totally on Gabe. :D
I can see all those "Become a pick-up artist in just 7 days" influencers selling that to their victims, ah followers.
Of all the stupid hypotheticals in all the world, this one had to walk into my TL. *sigh*
Was genau will er da prüfen lassen, die AfD Nähe der CDU ist doch praktisch belegt, und nicht spätestens seit diese sich auf Seite der Rechten geschlagen haben um eine Verfassungsrichterin zu verhindern.
