my kid has had this theory for years
A wall calendar of Minnesota Wild players posing with puppies. September is Brock Faber and a golden retriever named Lambeau. Faber is out with a skull fracture. Kid added the caption “another piece of evidence that these calendars are cursed”

me getting a text from Pete Stauber touting his (a) hockey history, (b) cop history and (c) desire to "put fraudsters behind bars" just goes to show (i) how much money they have to burn, (ii) the wide net they're casting and (iii) just how bad they are at buying lists

I'm just saying, it's one thing to steal valor. But it's messed up to steal Smokey's.

There was an improbable and terrible incident between my phone and one of the dog's anal glands yesterday and I'm pretty sure I'll be unreachable forever.

Honestly I'm here for it; Mary Poppins is a terror in the books and P.L. Travers cried with rage at the movie premiere because the adaptation was so saccharine.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Alternatively, you could use WordArt

I'm not even joking!
This is literally cooler, aesthetics be like that

AI art is so rancid it caused a cultural inversion

I was listening to the local Christian worldview radio show the other day and a caller brought this up and then said with anguish, “one thing this sort of made me think…are we drinking wastewater???” and the host was like well ma’am it’s treated and the caller said, BUT IT’S WATER FROM OUR DRAINS???

learned how to drive a skidsteer today: currently sending this to every Operating Engineer I know asking them if I’m doing this right
POV: sitting in a skidsteer seat with a scoop full of rocks held high enough that the driver can put their legs up crossed, as if relaxing, which I am doing in leggings and low top chucks (not OSHA rated). Many Building Trades give Operating Engineers shit for having a cushy job.

Four years ago today, I learned that the power play goalie doesn't bang their stick on the ice bc they're frustrated their team hasn't scored a PP goal. They do it to tell their team the PP is almost over. I've been following hockey for almost thirty (30) years. That was a big day for me.

This includes Democrats. And there are several on my ballot this fall who had better become a *lot* more explicit about whether they'll vote to entirely abolish ICE if they want my vote.
