There's a light fixture above the turn (note that I don't say "landing") in my stairs that I can only assume is meant to be changed by Spider-Man. Genuinely no idea how one is supposed to change it without wall crawling.

If you can call him "JD Vance," you can stop dead naming trans people.
I've had co-workers for multiple years whose names I still don't know. And now the window for asking them without it being awkward has well and truly shut.
I don't live up to it, but I try.
This is one of the reasons that "If something is worth doing, it's worth doing badly" is my motto.
Maybe it is. We'll only find out when someone finally creates a reasonable company.
Minimum Vibe-able Product?
That's honestly more attention to the road than I thought she was paying.
And yet, he'd still be dead. We need to celebrate the good things in life, even (or especially) if the rest of the world remains bad.
I never really understood rubber tire metros. If you're already building a train system, why not go for the much more energy-efficient steel on steel?
Have we considered the possibility that he used so much bronzer that ICE accidentally deported him to El Salvador?
Live your life so that people don’t consider rumors of your death a form of edging.
just walked into everybody doing a group manifestation circle online and I fully support it
🎵The dreams about the otters were the worst I've ever had🎵
John Darnielle has really changed since he was Little.
Over-ear hearing protectors
Easier to just use a dummy with actor not present, and CG actor's face on in post. They do it for stuntmen, and dummies move a lot less.
Maybe the Green Thumb is counted separately from the normal two, despite occupying the same space?
Gotta love that BMI line. That's 40% of the US covered, right there. Throw in "former smoker", and should cover the rest.
Doesn't he intentionally wear one of those all the time?
some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly
It's really fucked up the news media at large is searching so hard for humanity in machines, while systematically denying humanity to Palestinians, trans people, immigrants, and other persecuted people
whenever you see a cop anywhere that's a teacher we could have had but didn't get.
Where does that person think all of PA's tax base lives, exactly?
I think the only way we're winning that war at this point is when Christmas expands so far back that it laps the calendar and starts being celebrated when it should.
I'm amused that they thought individual crafters were sullying their brand, when my first association with Swarovski is "cheap junk sold at mall engraving chains".
It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma, all right.
Also an interesting choice to make them anti-immigrant stormtroopers when (at least around here) they don't even bother posting National Guard recruitment ads in English. Who exactly does this regime think is _in_ the National Guard?
The Boring Company was literally created to de-fund high speed rail projects by pretending to present an alternative.
Thank you for this perfectly-timed reminder that my meds alarm should also go off on weekends
Now where does one get a pickaxe-shaped cake server?
Right? I can excuse "My native language doesn't have that phoneme at all*, and I'm trying", but not this total lack of effort. * e.g. most native English speakers just can't pronounce my display name, because initial-ts is not a sound English makes
And now every day can be Dobson Is Still Dead Day. Two of my favorite holidays, every day!
Of course we're not ready for that conversation; our mouths are full!
Trying to grasp her thought process here. Maybe giving a bribe is the literal opposite of taking a bribe, so it cancels out some of her previous activity?
Right? I don't even _like_ his work*, and I can't imagine talking to him like his alleged "fans" do. * Actually, I like his work as an anthology editor quite a bit. I just don't care for his writing.
Hard to destroy something that doesn't even exist.
My doc, yesterday: Your answers on the depression screening questions were concerning Me: *gestures broadly* Doc: Fair enough.
There was a moment where he mentioned operation warp speed and the vaccine rollout as a positive thing at one of his rallies, and the crowd at his own rally booed him. I think that was the moment when he decided to burn down the one good thing his admin had done.
Because of BS like this, dispensaries here (in CT) are technically never charging your debit card for weed. They run an ATM counter which only gives multiples of $50 and a cash weed business that _just happen_ to be exactly co-located.
Is soup in a bread bowl technically a soup sandwich if you put the lid back on?
One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.
If your solution to people shitting the streets is cops and not toilets you're just a fascist.
Props for consistent alt-text, though.
It is definitely true that the 2020 protests made law enforcement very very angry. It radicalized them, in a sense. But that's because the protests demanded racial reckoning and asked police to stop killing people. They got mad. It doesn't mean the asks were somehow wrong.
the biggest force for rural resentment of cities in the last three decades is that cities got way better and the countryside got way worse.
Tolkien does suffer a lot from being the genre definer. He spends a lot of time on descriptions that a modern reader will slog through and go, "Dwarf. Check." Obviously not a flaw of the writing itself (though as someone with aphantasia, I find 90%+ of descriptions to be wasted anyway.)
You mean you never noticed the hidden word in "Make America Great (Depression) Again"?
I've got some bad news about tea growing countries for you. (Yes, there is US-grown tea. No, it's not enough for US tea consumption.)
I'm happy enough if it "holds up" for me to be able to re-read it. So many nostalgia re-reads have been visited by the Suck Fairy in the decades since I enjoyed them.
And Alan Dershowitz is not full of dumplings, which makes the feeling even better. (At least it does for me, when eating any type of dumpling.)
I think a lot of them are just former Republicans, trying to recreate the party they were always members of. Current Republicans have gone full mask-off fascist, so the rest have joined the Democratic party and are trying to drag it rightwards.
Too many of us didn't realize it was a mission statement, not a cautionary slogan.
There are a lot more mom and pop landlords than people think. They just mostly contract with the same handful of companies to do the work, because there are basically three options: Pay someone to do it, put in a lot of work yourself, or be a slumlord.
I think people assume that property ownership is much more consolidated than it is because property _management_ tends to be that way on a local level.
*all clones of
Not particularly sturdy, just not subject to that particular plant disease. Also all cones of the same plant, so when a blight does hit the Cavendish, we're basically SOL.
Apples grown from seed are pretty much just good for making alcohol (which makes Johnny Appleseed hilarious as a folk-hero hilarious).
They're not all _the same_ clones, but eating apples are all clones. Apples grown from seed taste wildly different from their parents tree, so every commercially-available apple variety is made by coming and grafting.
It follows the general "anything that pays that many YouTubers to shill for it most really suck" rule.
I'd love his humiliation, but less his harassment of the poor vendor.
Until Trump, we though Mussolini was the answer to that question. The man was an idiot, just not a Trump-scale idiot.
Apparently-fit 20-somethings get so _confused_ when I stump past them with cane and back brace at roughly twice their walking speed. Urban pedestrian walk is such a life skill.
My aikido instructor was really big on that being the proper intent and movement for a lot of techniques. "Visualize doing this on a crowded subway platform."
A natural thing for us to do, here on Blewski.
The amazing thing is that they're still somehow surprised we have that reaction. In 2025!
Hi. Anyone saying their argument about trans people in sports is about “fairness” or a “biological advantage” is a fucking liar and a bigot. THE ENTIRE POINT OF SPORTS IS UNFAIRNESS THROUGH BIOLOGICAL ADVANTAGES.
Not gonna lie, this would explain a lot.
Isn't that the default? It's just white bread leavened with beer.
Class pet implies a certain longevity, so perhaps a can of tuna.
The power imbalance is so large that she couldn't possibly have meaningfully consented, regardless of age (which doesn't make the age ok)
Strong @orcspiration.bsky.social vibe, right there.
Tree hit the wrong part.
They've still gotten to them. That's the difference between the processors and the _ultra_ processors — the ultras put in the work to process them pre-picking.
But there's no difference at all between theory and practice! At least, there's no difference in theory.
My sister ran headfirst into the end of one of the bars and had a scar that made her look like Sailor Moon for forty years.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers plot summary
That would kill an awful lot of the real human trafficking victims in the world, as the actual call center "staff" are usually slaves who were lied to about good jobs in other countries and then had their passports stolen.
Interesting social consequence: Gen Z expects the _caller_ to say hello first, because the onus is on the caller to prove they're not an auto-dialer before a conversation can start.
Jackie Chan?
No director wants their production tarred by the mark of Cain.
But they say "new" right on the can!
As someone on here said, "Half the graves I want to shit on haven't even been dug yet." So maybe a little longer.
"[I]t teaches an entire generation that bypassing government surveillance is a basic life skill." Ok, so the bad law has _one_ upside.
Except unlike Atwater's choice of terminology, "living in Mom's basement" conures the mental image of a white guy. A fatal flaw for their racism-based policies.
That candy ain't gonna crush itself.
And then non-idiots can buy his fancy German-made machine at auction.
Even if they can grow, olive trees don't even produce fruit for decades. There are sayings about planting an olive grove for your grandchildren for a reason.
That's awesome. Gotta do a cross-continent hike in that, so you can have the full Space Ghost: Coast to Coast experience.
Right? I hear "loneliness crisis" and think "Makes sense. Work + commute eats the whole day, then we're all too tired to get together on weekends. No wonder people end up lonely." And then articles talking about the supposed loneliness crisis are all about men not getting laid.
And each of those states gets two whole-ass senators.
I work for a large warehousing company. We haven't converted a single seasonal in over a year, because no permanent employees are leaving.
The blockchain is literally taking notes on a criminal conspiracy. Bitcoin bros really need a lecture from Stringer Bell.
Not sure if even that would do it, but only one way to know for sure.
It means "McKinsey is planning to bill their clients as if each of those agents were an actual employee."
At least the kids are hallucinating because of near-lethal quantities of stimulants.
The country is secretly run by a ninja. Because of the principle of Conservation of Ninjutsu, their power be diluted if they allowed any other ninja to exist in the country.
I'd make a "This is why I never open my bills" joke, but that's genuinely Trump's approach to our nation's debt, and we are going to be so, so fucked by it.
I feel that image in my bones. I have a monthly one, and can still never bother to fill more than a week at a time (especially since if I try to do more, there's inevitably one prescription out of sync, and I need to figure out which identical-looking pill is missing from later weeks)
That's not deportation; it's exile.
