Protecting norms includes continuing to talk about silly stuff while being acutely aware that the world is on fire.

You also can add secret jokes! (I will admit to forgetting about 25% of the time.)

Yes, this always drove me nuts, because him not inventing the elevator somehow made them stop working or disappear but all the elevator shafts are still there.

The Jacoby's were everywhere, although I didn't remember this little one here. Recently started rewatching "Soap" and was sure Billy Tate was a Jacoby... Shocked to find he was a Baio.

I was about to say this was a normal human level bad headline, until I saw the ":Police" ending. At least they said the agent was arrested and not the old man, so it helps you infer the rest.

I kinda liked it, but they butchered the last episode in the US as I recall.

I remember this show and SUSAN TYRELL WAS IN IT, WTF? Also, I like that Jay Tarses was like "F it, I'll play the cop I guess." The only think I remember was that the kid's room was so messy it would make a crunching sound when you walked through it. My mom loved that gag.

I bullied whatever the Meta chatbot is pretty hard when it first came out and kept popping up if I tried to use Messenger (I know, I know, but it's just easier.) I guess it worked because I haven't seen it lately.

There's a few buttons around the outside but I never even use them. Knob! Knob! Knob!

Marc Sparks @msparks.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
My 2017 Mazda has the all time great knob... It's like 2 inches in diameter, but it's also a joystick and then the entire center is also a button. Sits on the console in front of the transmission stick. Can actually fully control Android Auto with the knob alone. There's a bonus knob for volume.

The great thing about a TMBG concert is a song like this, which is weird even for them and wasn't a single or even on a proper album, is often the big closing number and the crowd goes apeshit.

Undo everything, but then.. like... what's something that would bother him to have his name on? Like, name a bridge to Canada after him. Or a youth center in a poor immigrant neighborhood.

I love Gilmore Girls for many reasons, but one new reason that was just added is that it has more and better action sequences than Lanterns.

Look, I'm not going to write all this out, but this screenshot explains the Vig is how sports betting makes money, so having No Vig really is a terrible business model, aside from the joke in the original post, which was pretty good.

I'm at the optometrist right before closing, and I THINK IT'S SOMEBODY'S BIRTHDAY!
An eye doctor office showroom. Just past the glasses on the wall is a door left open. Gold balloons inside appear to spell out "Taco Bout A Party!"

You can't see all the letters. I like to think there's an exclamation point, and I think there's a good chance I'm right

I remember working at a record store around 1993-94 and they must have finally released their albums on CD at that point, because I remember thinking "Who is this $&@#($# band and why do they suddenly have like 7 albums I've never heard of?"

Later TIL it's a LAVERN BAKER COVER? Apparently he was using the name Jim Dandy for years, and then was like, "Oh hey, here's a song about me" and it's literally the only Black Oak Arkansas I know.

I mean, I just assumed Jim Dandy was some kind of slick super cool character. Most of it reads like a Paul Bunyan folk tale. Dude is catching mermaids and jumping out of airplanes and falling off cliffs. I always subconsciously thought he looked like Dudley DoRight. Turns out he looks like this:

Cursed Wikipedia band timeline. (The bottom most bar of each color over on the right side are the guys who actually had the hits... which is still farther to the right than I can show. The vertical black lines are albums!)
A timeline of all Oak Ridge Boys members. There were about 25 other members and dozens of albums before their hit making time in the late 70s and early 80s. None of the well known member were involved in the first 20 years or so.

This reminds me of when Mouth Sounds came out and people were like "bet you won't make it to the end" and I was like "already listened twice." (Although I did turn this off after 5 minutes, but I'm starting my work day.Bookmarked!)

The poster is absolute insanity. The texts say absolutely nothing. There must have been SOMETHING in the texts that at least lead them to be confused, but it's not here. What if he really had been at that game and said yes? What was the game then? How would this poster be a follow up

I feel like smartphones hit that like two years ago, and that's why they are now trying to bend them in half. Just let me keep buying the same smartphone I have now. You can do the planned obsolescence thing and have them wear out too fast, that's fine, just sell me the same thing.

That thing is great because everything about it's aesthetic screams 90's clock radio, but because it's a rice cooker, it's still the most high tech one you can get. Cooking rice reached a maximum on tech and just stopped. Why can't everything be like that?
