"From the world of The Office" you mean the world? Far as I know, it just took place in reality

it is a sad state of affairs when u realize the only thing that might get RFK jr fired is not universal condemnation from the scientific community but laura loomer complaining he didn’t say good morning to her or something
It’s a good show—real-time medical drama where each season unfolds over one long shift at a busy hospital—but this is a wild thing to tease.
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

Well, he won't. Now what?
One thing couples should never do is ‘impressions of each other’s dancing’
I see alot of you are hell bent on mocking AI and not hell bent on understanding how thirsty that man ordering 18,000 waters was
Longfellow is the head-scratcher, to me. (Assuming Heidi Gardner left of her own volition?) He really popped on Update last season, I thought.
Glimpsed at a vintage shop today: the world’s cuntiest turtle.
On the new @junkfilterpod.bsky.social, the film writer Del Winters (@absolutereality.blog) joins me from Philadelphia for an in-depth discussion about Ari Aster's EDDINGTON, a movie that kept on playing in our minds after we watched it. Spoilers ahead! open.spotify.com/episode/4C7C...
if i send you this it means you are useless, bothersome, and inspire a rage in me unlike any other
Watching Barry Lyndon like, "Man. Just be cool, Barry Lyndon. Or you're gonna get in trouble"
I talked with the team who helped Comrade Toxic Avenger wipe out millions in medical debt for real people.
Huh, weird that they’d do this while attacking the Smithsonian for exhibits about slavery. Probably a coincidence.
I literally just learned how to play the riff from “Ooh La La”
Seeing if adding mom and pop to something makes it more sympathetic or positive and it's not working Mom and Pop police department Mom and Pop ice detention facility Mom and Pop colonoscopy clinic
I love to email communications professionals at the current version of the U.S. government
Imagine getting to say this to Ritchie Torres, about Gaza. Respect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0Ee...
I just watched that movie recently. The zen music whenever they're in that metaphysical ninja realm is shockingly chill and good. Had it stuck in my head for days.

Minneapolis: blood drive this evening and Friday afternoon: Wooden Ship Brewing, 3300 W 44th St Minneapolis. Or visit the Memorial Blood Centers site for other locations to donate: www.mbc.org There was an urgent blood shortage even before this awful shooting, so lots of donors needed!

Couldn’t resist using one of these puns as the lede in my post about this guy a couple weeks ago.
'Deadbots' is a good start but AI avatars of deceased people deserve an even creepier name like 'ghoulazoids' or 'corpseborgs'
Don’t know who made this but thank you
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
is that what i think it is
I mean, when he's right he's right.
The failure of the sequel seems to be a deeply traumatic thing for Ben Stiller, and yet I still wonder sometimes how he managed to fumble that movie so hard. (Rewatched recently and even worse than I remembered.)
Why do I suddenly feel as though I've just heard "California Dreamin"
This shit is really dark
I get a little feeling-out-for-resistance incremental recline after a while, but the people who sit down and just immediately crank it all the way back can fuck right off.
How is it possible that London coined a name for these a-holes before New York City? (Obviously, the name sucks but an effort was made.)
The funny thing is animals actually can suffer and we slaughter them by the billions but sure let’s have an existential panic over whether a software program screams when we turn it off
Too bad that our legal and institutional safeguards only work to prevent good policies. It would be cool if they also stopped the evil stuff

Journalists everywhere need to stand in solidarity on this killing spree and resulting news blackout. See below in this thread for some actions and stay tuned here https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-hits-gaza-hospital-killing-least-20-people-including-five-journalists-2025-08-25/
Here's a news story covering Sean's comments & the subsequent retaliation. Judge for yourself, but to me, this is our LA public transit showing how, bit by bit, institutions let fascism take hold. This is a matter of democracy, not just a job. Please share widely: lapublicpress.org/2025/08/la-m...
i'm the guy who invented the spike traps that pop out of temple walls. i hate my job. every day my boss says "why haven't we killed any archeologists" and i say "they haven't invented that yet." they pay me in tomb juice. i hate tomb juice. honestly i might just start working on my big boulder idea
No fan of Trump but I have to admit that firing everyone who even slightly contradicts you while walking around wearing a hat that says I Am Right About Everything is a funny bit.
This man is being subjected to a real-life version of Kafka’s “The Trial” as punishment for being the embarrassing object of the regime’s own malicious and chaotic incompetence. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (2001, dir: Wes Anderson)
This is a mildly heartbreaking situation I’ve been dealing with lately.
one time i was reading my book on the G train and there were a bunch of excited carousing teenagers and then one of them saw me and proceeded to yell to the others YO SHUT THE FUCK UP THAT MAN IS TRYING TO READ HIS FUCKIN BOOK and they lowered their voices until their stop, they were so sweet
if you are ever tempted to write off the residents of a "red" (i.e., gerrymandered) state and say "set them adrift, let them secede, they deserve what they voted for", you are missing all the thousands of stories like this where the human beings in those states are pushing back every single day

Man, feel like things are getting really bad, the vibes are not good, might be time to start a podcast.

It feels like there's a new headline like this every hour now and it's just not going to stop for the rest of my life

My record shop in Minneapolis, Electric Fetus, keeps some heat in the back that they only trot out on record store day, and peoples has the same kind of heat on a random Thursday.
Indeed.
I walked into a record store in Detroit and blacked out.
Allyship, baby
This is dark.
What your preferred airplane seat says: Window: I am a dreamer. I want to know what a cloud feels like so bad it hurts. Aisle: I am a realist. I *will* go to the bathroom and require unimpeded access. Middle: I am a chaos gremlin—ungovernable, capable of anything, never to be trusted.

How did you fit all that giant bread into your house? And where did you find that hand-shaped bread holder?

realizing i was innoculated to Chatbot Brain Madness because of my many hours of experience in high school tweaking the "therapist" program that my friend found online and put on my TI-83 graphing calculator to say stuff like "you have a farting ass"
Axios also noted Mamdani is a leftist version of 2015-era Trump due to his extensive work in real estate, books, movies, and pro wrestling, multiple bankruptcies, legendary habit of not paying contractors, and his birtherism campaign alleging Mitt Romney was secretly Norwegian.
Now is a great time to grab a Sally Rooney book. She’s donating her earnings to Palestine Action. Read a good book, back a good cause
i think about this tweet every single day

There's a bottle episode in a Tasti D-Lite.
Seann William Scott has a three-episode guest arc as the first new guy she starts dating.
It looks like Ms. Now, which sounds like a 2002-era sitcom starring Parker Posey about a young divorcee in the big city, canceled after half a season but was actually pretty good.
I really hope this kid refuses to be "normal" and that she sticks with...whatever's happening here 😭
Your post telling user @goebbelsvibes to “go kick rocks” promotes self harm. It has been removed
If Bjork put out this song after dating me I would simply vanish from this planet, never to be heard from again.
His entire life/career hinges on the premise that every alleged infraction related to Russia in the late 2010s is pure media hysteria. He will never stop arguing.

Truly truly fucked up. And how big paper editors figured out you can just write "Trump Says" or "The White House Says" and print a fucking lie as a headline and get away with it.
I often think about how The Keymaker was probably lowkey like "Hell yeah"
