So here we are, with Biff Tannen as president, Needles as Secretary of Destruction, no flying cars, and bottomless corruption devouring whatever decency was left in our brainwashed, traumatized nation.
Living through another mass extinction. Fits the general description of a xennial. PNW

Not really blaming Boomers themselves for this, just saying that post-WWII American Exceptionalism created a cult of personality around the Boomer generation, convincing them (and the entire world) that the America of the 1950s and 60s was peak humanity, when it was far from it.
McFly would've ended up in a post-atomic wasteland upon his return, & America would've continued forward progress without locking into the fake 50s Revival that allowed Boomers to claim America for themselves for the next 40 years. Until every last one of them is dead, we're stuck in Hill Valley.
If "Back to the Future" kept Stoltz and allowed him to play McFly as the frightened, unsettled character his instincts keyed into, American audiences would've viewed the film - and 1950s nostalgia - differently. The film would've flopped, and the trilogy never would've happened.
I've come to the realization that Eric Stoltz should've played Marty McFly, which would've prevented all of this from happening.
He's going to bomb an American city, isn't he?
Who was on the boat? This sounds like a hit.
If concerned republican voters haven't figured out by now that they've been supporting a party of liars, traitors, thieves, pedophiles, lunatics and monsters... They're willfully ignorant. The GOP is a villainous cancer destroying America for power and money. It's a simple fact.
I've definitely been a reply guy in my time but the whole "it doesn't offend me therefore it can't offend thee" argument is like reply guy 101.
There are two people and one dog in here. Absolute perfection. #barlife
It took my grandmother a few years before the dementia and alzheimers finally killed her, but she was gone long before that. I think that's what's happening with Trump. He's not dead, but he's gone. They'll keep shuffling him around while he can still walk, but that's gonna end soon, too.
Oof I worked at a Denny's years ago in Ohio and it was the same thing. They were more obnoxious than the Saturday Night Drunks.
ok so the bartender is singing along to the jukebox (playing "don't you forget about me" by simple minds) as she's cutting up limes and prepping the kitchen for the saturday night shift and she's fucking nailing it in her own tori amos style and i'm just trying to act cool as i post this. #barlife
YOINK
What race? Who is asking for this privacy-invading tech other than those creepy pedo billionaires who own everything? Other than the incel weirdos who worship them, I mean.
Florida will be under water in about a hundred years, so this problem's gonna solve itself sooner rather than later.
My go-to bad movie that I love is "Cabin Boy". It's crap.
That's what happens when you drink the root beer.
I am OUTRAGED that Spirit Folk is on there Fair Haven is my home away from home.
Verify *every single signature* and then verify them three more times.
Fucking hell. As a guy who's closer to 50 than I am to 40, this primarily concerns me for the poor man's health. But as a guy who grew up watching wrestling and respects the art, this is magical. The trust you gotta have in someone to throw you like that... damn.
Those kids were actively praying when they were murdered. Prayer is meaningless. God is not listening. Do better.
If "God" won't even bother to protect children who are *in the act of prayer* from being blown apart by guns, what do you think "God" is going to do when you pray for it to stop?
They're all inept. The only thing they know how to do is pose and run their mouths. They have no interest in governing through action, since that would mean actual hard work, and they refuse to do that.
Fuck your prayers.
It's easier to ask for forgiveness instead of permission.
Sounds like this was written by a cop. Or a cop's mom.
Why do I get the sinking feeling that this has something to do with crypto and online gambling?
Traitors working to destroy America.
me right now
Remember: If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.
I wonder if we're gonna get a Snoop Dogg/Marilyn Manson road trip buddy comedy next summer.
I'm thinkin' maybe the 2nd Civil War is having a soft opening.
One last thing: Star Trek's biggest failure is its complete disregard for the actual size and scale of planets and especially stars. Stars in the Star Trek universe vary in size from the small ones (the size of Cleveland, Ohio) and the large ones (the size of Ohio). Notoriously bad at scale.
Also... there are security cameras literally *everywhere* on the ship and we've never seen them used? Even when somebody does something sneaky? Did they stop putting cameras into ships after Pike's Enterprise? They probably should've kept them.
I'm a fan of SNW but not a fan of the most recent episode. Feels like a film school thesis project so far. Supposedly an internal document, but shot like a Netflix true crime documentary or some dramatized exposé. It's a topical episode, but also a generic Star Trek morality story. It's weird.
Trump didn't alter the report to say that Till killed himself? Genuinely surprised.
Immediately.
I read a letter printed in the local paper at the time from a woman whose son went to Kent State, & her son's friend was one of the ones killed. She said she wished her son was also one of the ones killed. I went to Kent State in the 90s & there was a big % of the locals who still felt that way.
So I'm normally a window seat guy (and in my opinion the middle seat is reserved for people who have a net negative karma score), but I would absolutely sit between you two because I bet I could have two completely different conversations at the same time without even having to divide my attention.
Our mail room is across the way from where we live, but I can see it from our window. Nobody lives in the mail room, of course. Just watched an Amazon driver knock on the door to the mail room for 10 minutes with a package in his hand, then give up and leave. He took the package with him. 🤨
And now I won't be buying a Pixel phone ever again.
Guess my PS4 will have to last me another 10 years. 🤷♂️
Zelenskyy was smart not to come here alone. Trump cannot be trusted.
I used to live right at the bottom of Griffith Park and every time it rained, there was a group of 2 or 3 coyotes that would come down into the neighborhood and just stroll past us (sitting on the steps, smoking that last 3am cigarette) like a group of mall walkers, all judgy and fearless.
That makes a good lunch, but don't forget to start your day with a hearty breakfast:
Only testing women? Weird. I mean, if you're trying to root out evil, scary trans people, you'd think they would test everybody... But they don't seem to be interested in that for some reason... I wonder what it could be...
Anybody else just randomly - and repeatedly - check the clock when it reads 12:34? I did it twice today (because American) and do it multiple times a week, almost without fail. I don't have an alarm for it, no. I just always manage to check the time when it's 12:34 and that concerns me.
The Holocene Extinction is very real and it's the 6th mass extinction to occur during the planet's existence. Most are caused by impact events or geologic activity. This one's caused exclusively by humans.
Scum of the fucking earth.
Alaska law enforcement should arrest Putin as soon as he steps off the plane, but I'm sure Trump will have the Proud Boys working security for this treason.
Season 2 features an AI-generated John Wayne pairing up with the re-cast Walker (Dean Cain) to take down the nefarious "Woke Mafia".
Can't wait for the coming onslaught of the "Walker, Texas Ranger-verse". 😒
The episode where they buy the restaurant and predictably fuck it all up is classic sitcom slapstick and it's kind of obnoxious. Where did they even get the money for this? The total destruction of the restaurant would've bankrupted them five times over. Apparently local radio pays really well.
One thing's certain those Crane boys are certifiable and they should both lose their licenses.
Okay apparently they drove up to Canada for this. My bad.
Watching the episode of Frasier where they go ice fishing. Where the hell do you go ice fishing in Washington??
Yo Portland what the fk is that noise? #Portland #Oregon
LA Times muted.
The only thing Putin can do to ensure peace is to die.
They're doing it on purpose because they think whoever survives the next plague will be immune to illness. Culling the "weak".
If they find a way to get rid of them, fine, but they're yummy so I'm gonna enjoy them while they're here.
They snuck a Tom Petty song into a new episode of King of the Hill. 🥲
If this wasn't as tragic and disgusting as it is, it would be absolutely hilarious. Really bad idea. You may as well be talking to a Magic 8 ball.
Ok I've been wanting a better instant camera and this is kinda what I was looking for. Now to find the money...
Somebody needs to do it. Right fucking now.
Did they have a Johnny Mountain?
Politico muted.
I take comfort knowing that the people who believe AI won't harm *them* in any way are going to die along with the rest of us when the AI they put in charge of the nukes has a brain fart and decides the only way to help humans is to destroy them.
If I count only places I've actually stopped and spent some length of time in, it's 26. If I include all the places I've been through on the way to somewhere else (via air or road), it's 41.
The Harris speculation is weird to me because it assumes elections will still be a thing in 2028. I'm a cynic but they're seriously dismantling voting rights in this country and it's not going to just stop.
Between leaf blowers and Oregon drivers, I'm not sure which one I hate more. But right now it's definitely leaf blowers.
yeah i drink orange juice in a wine glass so what
Any person talking to me about their religion is harassing me.
James Cameron is gonna see this and add four more sequels to the franchise just to spite you.
Give it about 15 hours and all your problems will be solved.
"other perspectives"? You mean like racism?
Love that Rage denounced the Godzilla movie right there in the song on the soundtrack.
Pluto is owned by Paramount.
Here to remind many of the Star Trek fans out there that it's just a TV show that occasionally makes movies. I'm not sure what the Star Trek version of "touch grass" is, but I'd advise some of you to consider it and maybe not get so outraged that Trek isn't following your own personal headcanon.
Buddy those are Shrek ears. Don't sniff butts without consent, Shrek.
Weird that they let him just go home, but also totally predictable. I'm sure he won't, oh i dunno, try to flee the country or anything.
There's a part of me bummed about Hulk Hogan's death, but it's a tiny part that's living in 1987 and remembers what it feels like to believe the lies.
two dollars
but that's literally who is in charge
Not these llamas. They're raised to be around people, so they're used to them. Their handlers know them well & won't bring them out if they're in a bad mood. I've been to the farm where they're from, & having half a dozen llamas surrounding you patiently waiting for treats is pretty fun.
RIP Ozzy. 🤘
No questions. Jake Sisko, lower left. That is all.
I thought this had to be bullshit, but apparently there was at least one (1) dipshit out there wearing a 20lb chain around his neck in public, and nobody stopped him from going near the giant fucking magnet that *everybody else* gets warned about. I'm honestly not sure how to feel about this.
Barking dog nearby You bark continuously Are your owners dead?
probably a good thing that i got my new passport.
Turns out walking around for a couple hours in 90°F heat makes me sleepy. #naptime
I guess every hive mind needs a queen.
