I mean, where do you even start with this? I almost wonder if it's the most wrong anyone has ever been about anything!

Any mention of Chiliwack immediately brings this to mind: youtu.be/N5lNsD7XvDU?...

If RFK Jr. had any interest in regulating big pharma or helping americans eat better or reducing chronic illness he would not have gutted the agencies he is in charge of. *Every* story about his alleged policy ideas should lead with this extremely elementary reality.
Is it a "cultural thing" to hide gifts of money in potato chip bags?
Somehow I'm simultaneously shocked and not surprised.
Same!
Don't sleep on Easy Money!
When this came out in theaters, my husband and his friend went to see it at least three times.
Dafuq they complaining about now?
I'm sure I watched it at the time, but I have no memory of Mr Kotter's wife leaving him!
I do! Don't knock it till you've tried it.
I didn't know 90% of this -- what a life! Dee was hands-down my favorite character on What's Happening; even as a kid I felt the show was ridiculously silly, and I watched it almost exclusively for her. RIP Dr. Danielle Spencer metro.co.uk/2025/08/12/h...
[extremely on-mushrooms voice] hear me out. what if we destroy capitalism by feminizing having money
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Hot take, people who hate cities shouldn’t be in charge of cities
I know this just from going outside!
my buddy j just sent me this pool guy sign he saw today
After the success of JV Martoukas, they'll probably want more token yanks.
"hey Donny, I just got off the phone with the ghost of Liberace. he says to tone it the fuck down, you cheap hoodlum." 🤣🤣🤣
I would legit watch this; it will have a bitchen soundtrack
Plus, if memory serves, the video for "Dare to be Stupid."
🤣🤣🤣 thehardtimes.net/music/ska-re...
Green Wing was my first time seeing Michelle Gomez (talk about scene-stealers!). Incredible load of talent in that cast. It's also where I learned what "pants" means in Brit.
"Thants."

How long before he does Taskmaster?

They make good cat toy.
Shout-out to Seymour Plaza in Montclair NJ. Post-show at the Wellmont Theater, you can hang out (even sit!) and find your friends instead of being unceremoniously thrown out into traffic the way venues do it in good ol' NYC.
💯
It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
Ooh that would give me one more!

My dad's not with us anymore; I'm hoping to someday forgive him for putting us through all that Perry Como.
THANK YOU!
My plan was to post the cartoon that scared me as a kid ("-ly," because Dracula's in it, duh), but it seems to have been scrubbed from YouTube (which is weird; I showed it to my students back in the fall). We'll just have to settle for the equally iconic Silent E. youtu.be/91BQqdNOUxs?...
I just found out Tom Lehrer died. To be honest, I didn't realize he was still alive, but whenever anyone involved with The Electric Company comes onto my radar I have to credit them with teaching me to read, and thereby setting the course for the rest of my life. #riptomlehrer
The US crash death rate is 3x higher than Finland. If you’re wondering why the Finns are so good at road safety, I wrote an article about it, below. (Spoiler: Autonomous vehicles have nothing to do with it.)
Is that supposed to mean "ye-ye" or "yeah, yeah"?
Whoa. Curiouser and curiouser... www.westsiderag.com/2025/07/25/l...

I think it's so sad how white kids don't go to college anymore.
Thank you for the periodic reposts!
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Post a book you love from the 1970s.
(yes I saw the other replies but I did what I came for anyway everybody drop your Tootie!s who cares if others got here first)
Tootie!
It's certainly never going to come from any of Momdani's opponents!
My friend was a tourist in Moscow during the coup. She told her mom on the phone that there were tanks outside her window, but all she could find on TV was ballet.
THANK YOU
I believe it
REECE 💕
Really solid analysis of how Mamdani pulled it off in New York and how both parties are truly missing the lessons from my friend @dellavolpe.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/dellavol...
I actually used the word "cult" rather than "heresy," but I guess that's what happens to words when you translate them to Greek and back again. From a newspaper in Athens, Greece called Kathimerini. Thanks to Peter Quadrino for passing on my remarks to the author. www.kathimerini.gr/culture/book...
Rick Steves finishing his speech in Edmonds. This is about halfway back in the crowd and to the side. The patriotism of this crowd was something else. And Steves' point is right -- change is going to come from an engaged center that stands in *solidarity* with the most vulnerable.
His phrasebooks are not just useful; they are a scream. I read three of them just for fun.
It is objectively the greatest TV theme of all time.
I laughed way too hard at this
Waiting for Cuomo's speech like...
I'm at Grand Central and smiles abound!
Came across this old gem today
what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that
I've had this banger on repeat lately youtu.be/UXM02I4FLmA?...
Brad is on TV and in the streets every day standing up to Trump and for our democracy, yet some people still believe Cuomo is the guy for the job simply because he yells louder. Don't rank Cuomo. He'll huff and he'll puff and he'll blow *our* house down.
Yes, you would use l for 1 and O for 0. It never occurred to me that the typeface could vary; I've always assumed they were all the same.
"Most of the people who live outside the city drive cars to work. This is far more dangerous than riding the subway." This article is excellent. My one quibble, as a Staten Islander, is with the statement that the subway can whisk you to "anywhere in the five boroughs." I wish!
Just...9 years ago!
As I was reading this, I remembered that typewriters originally had no 1 key, then I wondered if that was actually true, then the article confirmed it, so that was a nice little ride to go on.
Am I the only one who pronounces the l in "wolf" (and "Wolf")?
[Exit King.]
This is my favorite thing ever
Ooh that's good
I'm disturbed by the fact that people and media articles have come around to simply calling it "X" with no qualifiers. It just feels like we're all making a concession to Musk's stupidity. I'll never stop calling it ex-Twitter.
the mainstream media has been steadily buying into the idea that science and academia are somehow "captured" by left and liberal ideologues, rather than the more obvious explanation that measured analysis leads people away from reactionary thought
Bruh. Now that my windows are open, I have to pause the TV when trucks go by.

Just that one awesome scene in Project A
I remember the Janis Ian joke from this episode. So niche!
Remember as a kid reading about the obscene wealth and power of Robber Barons and thinking "phew, glad we took care of that"

This is as dark as it is hilarious. "The sound of one hand clapping is simply what happens when the other hand has been amputated due to untreated type 2 diabetes." 😂
Um, you "suspect?"
