Yesterday one of teammates accidentally clicked the "Improve my Writing" button in Jira. He cancelled it as quick as he could while sadly saying "I thought my writing was pretty good in this one :("

I propose we no longer call it the gas pedal, but instead call it the juice pedal. Works for gas or electric, and makes you sound like you're from some kind of awesome 80s movie.

So Portland cops shot their own K-9 yesterday, right? If the now deceased suspect had done it they would be screaming it from the rooftops. We know cops love shooting dogs, apparently even their own.

I have a more elegant theory. You know the idea of the one-electron universe? There's only one singular orange cat, and all of them are simultaneously Garfield. There is also only one lasagna for an infinity of Garfields.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

everyone I care about and love is struggling emotionally, underemployed, worked to the fucking bone, forsaken by basically everyone outside of their communities. I’m inclined to be a lot more forgiving toward my trans siblings right now than I otherwise might in a perfect world, and so should you

My favorite fact about stop signs is that even the Nazis didn't expect people to come to a full stop at a stop sign, so if you're a stop sign stickler you're in favor of a stricter traffic enforcement regime than the Nazis

My friend Jonny in high school created his own tabletop RPG system and campaign setting where everything was named after Hoobastank for some reason. He wasn't even a fan, just the name was so compelling he couldn't resist.

from 1969. we should fix that
Although some new bus lines have been extended into suburban areas, in competi-
tion with existing services, the steady downward trend in passengers has been
reflected generally in a reduction in routes and a decrease in the frequency of
operations. It is now impossible to travel by public transportation in a north-south
direction on the east side of Portland without following a circuitous, time-consuming
route that passes through the downtown area
