Since the Browns have opted to continue with their gross, unlikeable dysfunction, I naturally have a few words to say about it. teedoffredux.wordpress.com/2026/08/…

Email from current vet: "Thank you for trusting us with caring for Harry!" Me: "Is that what you did? All I saw was you charging me and not being very helpful. Oh, and this will be the LAST time you'll see him. And Luna? You will NEVER see!"

Amusing the recruiters I know are going to pitch me some bullshit job still send me connection invites on LinkedIn. Just send me an InMail so we can get this thing over with. No need for the rest of it.

Piling on a child entertainer for the crime of *checks notes* treating ALL children with kindness is a clear indication that: 1. You're committed to raising your children to become assholes, if you have them. 2. If you're childless, there's a reason nobody wants to fuck you.

While the Gene Wilder AI voice will get the brunt of the criticism, I'd like to focus on the cringe of this entire exercise, which only reinforces the theory that everyone is 12 years old now. youtu.be/oTSvnmTfLj8?si=NmhZ_Y726Sp…

Trans kids play sports for the same reason any kid plays sports: It's a way to have a sense of belonging and make friends. If you can't get with that, you're either a bigot or you're deluded into thinking that a trans athlete is hindering your kid's athletic abilities, which is also super […]

Oh boy. This has all the earmarks of Cavs fans getting their hopes up, only for LeBron to do the shittiest thing imaginable.

From Shams on the Ex-Bird Site: BREAKING: LeBron James will continue his NBA career for the 2026-27 season and has informed the Los Angeles Lakers that the franchise can move on without him because he will play elsewhere, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN.

Bluesky's thread on their Temu Twitter account is one step closer to me calling that place Snobby Twitter.

Bluesky inexplicably trying to diss Threads on the account they have on that site.

Let me get this straight. The same right-wing Borg who went out of their way to name and shame anyone who said ANYTHING about Charlie Kirk somehow doesn't do the same thing with the Reflecting Pool vandals? That's how you know there are no vandals, and that whole claim's complete bullshit.

Well, that's a bummer. If I don't start selling copies of Flagrant Foul, I'm going to get charged a service fee. So, yeah, you should buy that. On bookshopdotorg, of course. bookshop.org/p/books/flagrant-foul-…

My apartment complex had to send out an email about not fishing in the ponds because they have pics of someone fishing. First of all, I feel like we have some snitches in my community. Second of all, did the dude catch anything? Because the ponds don't strike me as teeming with life.

Someone should tell the people in charge at Mindlance that: -AT&T thinks their phone numbers are spam. -Their emails are also considered spam. -The locations from their "jobs" are never close to the jobseeker's home most of the time. Or not. Let them flail about.

If you're writing about a primary race and you cite a poll where over 60% of respondents are undecided, perhaps you shouldn't use that poll.

I'm thankful that I've gotten to the point where I don't have randos sliding into my replies with bad-faith retorts, mostly because instead of engaging in some pointless argument, I'll just fast-forward to me inevitably saying "Fuck you," which I'd do in the end anyway.

Hmm. Turns out the archived TL of the dude who tried to shoot up #WHCD is basically the same as nearly every follower I have on Bluesky that either I don't follow back or stopped following because they didn't have a single original thought.

I'm going to go ahead and be annoyed that thanks to the Haslams, Columbus shoved past Cleveland for an NWSL team. I'm also going to be confused at how quiet the folks who were pushing that have been.

Not to get all tin-foiled hat here, but I'm beginning to think Osama Bin Laden, knowing the history of the United States and its inability to deal with its original sin (i.e. bigotry of all kinds), planned 9/11 to cause to fall the first of what would be a series of dominos that's led us to...now.
