Did I just see Lois Griffin (canonically from Rhode Island) shilling for Starbucks? Has the world gone even more topsy turvy.

Powers out all over town. Taco Bell was jammed bc they had some food. They did not, however, have AC so the cold soda is steaming in the warm air.

I feel like the earthly head of his church might have a different opinion on this. I think I saw something like that somewhere (almost every time the pope speaks?)

This game makes so much more sense now that I realize England is in red not white

I don't mean to parent shame, but the Masters of the Universe movie (He-man) is not appropriate for little kids. It was pretty intense, and if I wasn't familiar with the original series I'm not sure it would've made sense. Also at least two of the trailers before were not under-17 appropriate imo

I realize it's probably a translation style thing, but in my Soviet History class Stalin used the term Wreckers, not Vandals. When is our administration going to use the right terminology?

Not sure the constitutionality of it but we should also break up the some of the current states

When you wake up to the fact that your building is Tory, just remember there are two sides to every story

In defense of the NYT, the Chronicle of Higher Education suffers from the same myopia, and their beat is ostensibly higher education

NFL suggestion. Every team has to play at least one person who did not play football in college in at least five plays from scrimmage per game (no special teams)

Every once in a while I see some idea I've never seen before and I wish I had thought of it. Our 2028 Congress needs to be on this as a big piece of some very substantial judicial reform (obviously we'll have to wait until we have a competent executive again)

If you name your store The Pickler it better be a store that sells pickled goods or a bar. What are we even doing here?

If you get mad when people use God's name in anger but you're okay with using it to shill for a politician then you do not understand the ten commandments.

I think the number needs to be more than the number of people that publish in my super weird niche inside operator algebras. That number is more than seven. For such an important thing it should probably be more than the number of people for whom I could make my niche area make sense

My favorite is when I reply to let someone know they forgot the attachment and outlook stops me to ask where the attachment is before I send

I won't be drawn into criticizing the peoples of some terrible places, so instead here's top us cities: NYC in the ultra large city category, three way tie in the large city category: Portland, Pittsburgh, and MSP for different things.

Reminds me of the time we (family) visited NYC the first time. On day one I had us walk ten miles. Day two at least one of the kids fell asleep on me, on the subway, back from the Bronx Zoo. They were exhausted. We had two more days to go

My son just told us that 100% of people that drink water die, so maybe we should lay off on the water

Unsolicited idea to make the NFL better. Helping another player advance the ball (i.e. the tush push) is only legal if the player with the ball is on the shoulders of the helping player.

Thankfully the art collection we're leaving our kids comes from thrift stores and if they don't like it, I'm sure a thrift store will happily sell it again

When you're one of the people that drives the lead/trail vehicle for an oversized truck do you tell your friends you work for an escort service?

I'm not into diplomatic stuff, but when do countries start expelling our ambassadors. Or, sports version, when do US athletes have to participate under a white flag the way Russians have for years now?
