My only issue is that they keep accidentally saying 1996 was 30 years ago, when it’s only been 5 years tops.

A Simpsons character saying BOY, I REALLY HOPE SOMEBODY GOT FIRED FOR THAT BLUNDER.

It’s 1996 day on @wxpnfm.bsky.social. I’m in 9th grade, I just got my drivers license, and my biggest concern is writing a 5 paragraph essay on Jane Eyre. I’m gonna go get a slurpee and rent a movie from TLA video.

I was at laurel hill cemetery watching. It was a whole ordeal. They backed across the bridge to switch tracks, pulled out forward back towards Conshohoken, then started backing up towards South Philly.

“Grocery outlet favorites” is a note on my phone of all the things I really liked, so I can try to find them again. I just finished these and need to find more 😭

Oh so they’re not talking about the rapper Ras Kass. I was wondering what he had do to do with anything 😂 #f1 #monacogp

La Rascasse
Turn 17 - The corner is name after an old fisherman's bar which is now an up-market bar by the track. A popular spot for revellers taking in the Monaco GP, , La Rascasse rates 4.2* on Google reviews too, in case you were wondering. "Bucket list experience, worth every penny," said one reviewer.

This always makes me laugh. The audacity of #MFDOOM to use Eyjafjallajökull in a rhyme 😂

There is also a $140 cheesesteak at Barclay Prime, but it comes with a half bottle of champagne, and I’ve heard it’s two people’s worth of food

I started reading this article without noticing the writer, and as soon as I got to this, I knew it was @farfarraway.bsky.social 😂 share.inquirer.com/h8unSZ

Now, folks can call Lou Turk's something else:
The Carousel Delco, though the odds that they will actually call it that are exactly zero. It's as likely as Philadelphians calling the Gallery the Fashion District or anyone saying Columbus Boulevard instead of Delaware Avenue.

I was just looking at AOL’s ownership history, and it seems impossible now that AOL bought Time Warner and not the other way around

In 2001, at the height of its popularity, it purchased the media conglomerate Time Warner in the largest merger in US history. AOL shrank rapidly thereafter, partly due to the decline of dial-up and rise of broadband.

I hate the new safari UI *so* much. If you go to settings - apps - safari, you can change it. I switched from compact to top, and it’s still way too translucent, but it’s better than it was

We experienced this recently, and it might be the sweetest substance on the planet. They took regular trix, and filled it with icing. It is an assault on the senses. It is so sweet, our older tried one bite and said “I can’t believe I’m saying this…but it’s too much for me”
