that’s freedom to me

my strongest elder millennial cred is that my favorite mugs as a child were poisonous

what’s the matter, smoothskin? never seen a ghoul before?

i have to remind myself that five cocktails before a flight for most people means they will be denied boarding

well for me, i would be cut off long before i got so drunk i had trouble finding my gate, but ymmv

i can’t imagine paying at the door unless i was committed to getting drunk, in which case it is probably is the most economical option at an airport. but that’s a little bleak, like people who go to feel like they’re better than others

like a lot of internet discussion topics i think everyone gets too worked up about it. free food, drink, and a seat you can briefly leave your luggage alone at are nice. but i don’t think they make sense if you don’t fly a lot and/or have a credit card with other benefits you actually use.

there can be drugs and fucking at airport lounges too, just a lot more discreetly

how this news finds me

at a crowded place with a regular $25 cover too so they make plenty of money before the bartenders even enter the picture

and it wasn’t even a situation of “you can buy bottled water” or “there’s a water station in the corner,” just “no”

i recently asked for water at a bar, just a cup of water, and the bartender sternly told me “no” and went to someone else. it was unbelievable

oh my god i didn’t even think of stubble. oh god

missing your flight: inconvenient but not the worst thing, especially if you have travel insurance

realizing that missing your flight means losing an entire day of your vacation: i’m getting to the airport five hours early next time

ironically doxypep is basically a vomit pill for me. can’t keep it down to save my life

saw an old head on the subway in a snapback that said “brooklyn veteran” like all those veterans of foreign wars hats and i didn’t doubt for a second that he’s seen some shit

don’t talk to me about food safety standards. my gastrointestinal system is more powerful than you could possibly imagine

the mac and cheese i made a week ago is still good. it’s a 420 miracle

i miss when you could trust the average weed smoker to generally be chill

i love fake crime tv dramas and loathe that every streaming service assumes that means i want to watch true crime. no. i want to watch unhinged fictional stories that make me go “lmao what”

when i was in osaka over the summer the air was remarkably smoggy, like LA in the 80s. and granted i didn’t confirm the allegation myself, but all the locals told us it blows over from china

i get why they do that. if you don’t know what you’re looking at, it’s intimidating. but if you do, you feel like the people who made the video are playing you for a fool. or they’re the fools

a large, gray, four propeller plane high in the sky, shooting off dozens of infrared flares to lure anti-aircraft missiles away from the plane

another morning wishing that anti-war propaganda would use images of planes in offensive operations, and not the scary-looking image of an AC-130 dumping all its defensive flares that burn out before they hit the ground

that’s a lot of words to say “i don’t like pop music”

don’t know who needs to hear this but mayor pete still doesn’t have the juice

A bear suit laid out on a wooden floor, complete with claws, is part of the evidence that has been used to convict three individuals for staged “bear” attacks on luxury cars for insurance payouts. (California Department of Insurance)

“In November 2024, detectives executed a search and arrest warrant at the defendants’ home and discovered a head-to-claw bear costume and meat shredders they say were used in the scheme.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

awwww lil babies

i didn’t dare order one but what the fuck is a “mayo mule”?

hey i’m thinking of getting into crime does anyone know if the FBI director is blacked out currently

cover of the new york post for april 18. “setting them strait: iran surrenders hormuz, and trump says peace deal is close.” none of this is true

yeah, about that,
