I spent a good part of the day thinking this was the Backstreet Boy and wondering if his league was was all boy band members.

I liked your reply, but this works too.

Screenshot of darth's post from 3 months ago saying "please tell the algae is not still a news story" under a post of a New Yorker caption contest showing Mr. Met at a bar drinking and reading a newspaper while saying something to the person on his right. A baseball game is on television.

Before CPR there was... blowing tobacco smoke up the bum. One of the recommended procedures for resuscitating "persons apparently dead from drowning", from a 1787 booklet by the Humane Society www.tumblr.com/publicdomain...

1) Wrong state, wrong team, wrong sports league 2) No proof Jack Smith went anywhere 3) Even if he'd proven it was Jack Smith, and it was a Hawks game, going to a game in Atlanta doesn't even hint at scandal It's not a nothing burger, it's a nothing turducken.

Someone should have asked Musk how he feels about the federal government wasting the hundreds of hours that will now ne spent updating websites, documentation, email templates, etc.

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

I love it for him that he made fuck you money the way he did and has spent his time since actually living like he has fuck you money. Ditto Kristin Stewart and Danielle Radcliffe.

If you are a Californian and you are concerned about billionaires' (& big tech) stranglehold over politics and policies - voting YES on 40 should be a basic first step. Prop 40 is nowhere enough but it's least CA can do. And also vote NO on 41 and 42 - poison pills pushed by billionaires/Big Tech.

Straight white man with ivy league degrees and a tenured position thinks elections "feel" existential to people because his entitled life isn't facing existential threaths. And Sarah Isgur shouldn't be able to show her face in public.

Now he's the tedious uncle who forces everyone who enters the house go look at the new tile that was just installed in the bathroom they're remodrling. How not embarrassing for us.

The funniest explanation is Natalie did it herself as she's started adding herself to pictures of him that she's not already in. Like if you check her computer she's put herself in Melania's place in the pic of the two of them with Baron on the stuffed lion.

Were Durbin and Schumer too busy checking in with the Baileys to make sure their caucus was aware there was an important vote today? I understand why forcing Vance to break the tie would have been helpful, is it too much to expect Senate leadership to?

The idea of Trump dragging President Xi to eat bastardized Chinese food is both pointless and asinine, so on brand for Lee. The idea that Trump would do it is definitley on brand for him.

Didn't he promise to leave after he got upset about too many candiates to the left of him winning primaries? Why hasn't he left yet? Does he need someone to help him to the door?

Yep. Two root canals, so far, due to problems with the new composit fillings I got talked into after decades of no problem silver fillings. I'm at least partially convinced that it's failure by design.

If you start paying attention to which stories they don't allow comments on you'll see a pattern. Wouldn't want to allow people to directly question or rebut a narrative you're putting so much effort into manufacturing.

The first year I lived in SF, I was at a friend's Nob Hill-adjacent place when a protest of some kind went up the hill past us chanting "if you are rich you should die" and it's time to bring that energy back.

A former coworker let hers roam the neighborhood during the day and would call them home at dusk by standing in her front yard and yelling "chick chick chick." They'd then dutifully make their way home. She insisted the neighbors liked it, they ate all the snails.

Back when I did customer service I had to assist him several times. He was awful. Rude, belittling, unreasonable, and entitled. If how someone treats service workers is the true window into their character, his is rotten.

No one’s calling it Lake America. “Lake America” is what you name a summer camp for soft children who say, “Don’t you know who my father is?” after a t-ball stand strikes them out

I was in a Safeway parking lot not long ago when a guy in one was pulling out of a spot. An elderly woman waking past stopped and yelled "sorry about your tiny penis." Dude spent that much money to be heckled by a grandmother.

It wasn't called ragebaiting and obviously no pervert glasses to film it, but this was briefly a thing when I was a young. We responded to it with a strong knee to the nuts and kicking if they went down writhing, which is why it was a brief trend. That response would get you expelled now.

Hegseth is focused on the important things: testosterone levels and purging uppity women and minorities. Inconsequential stuff like food and working toilets will have to wait.

So if I understand it, the plan for the military is to have them all jacked up on steroids, trap them on ships with rotten food and overflowing toilets or on bases with inadequate security, then insist there are no problems? Brilliant, can't see a single issue with it.

During a get to know you thing in one of my journalism classes, almost everyone said they wanted to be sports or entertainment reporters. One person said she wanted to "read the news on TV" (and she does). No one who wanted to do real reporting is now. I think about that all the time.

I have a coworker who used 14pt papyrus in blue, and an aged paper background image, as her email default until someone complained to HR and they made her stop about a year ago. That no one can take papyrus seriously had to be explained to her.
