I hated serial killers until I got that first rush of my hands squeezing tighter and tighter around a helpless delicate neck

you can just type anything into this machine and send it out to the whole world thanks to computers and the internet

setting aside the whole "putting all the men in front" thing, seven of the 11 women in this photo are from a foreign country here on a student visa, the very kind the Trump administration is trying to eliminate

2) does the vatican bid out the popemobile? like, i’ve only ever seen it be a mercedes, but what if kia were like “hey pope, we put a big glass box on the back of a telluride and we think you’re really gonna love it”

couple random questions that popped into my head this morning

1) if you’ve been *nominated* for an emmy, a grammy, an oscar, and a tony, but haven’t won any of them yet, is that anything

and don’t forget Richard Thornburg, the slimeball reporter from the first two Die Hards

and all this coming right after he spent a week in the hospital because he looked at some fentanyl, guy just can’t catch a break

me when i find out the thing a georgia player got arrested for was not life-threatening behavior but was, in fact, absolute bullshit

sure, make jokes, but these things are a slippery slope. if he isn’t held accountable for smirking now then he’ll be sneering later. then he’s escalating into all sorts of impudent behavior—shenanigans, knavism, jiggery-pokery, things of that nature

oh man. iranian state media reporting that the strait of hormuz is open, but only to those who can answer the blind old man’s riddles three. not a long term solution, to say the least.

If you’re ever deep in the throes of impostor syndrome, just think of how many times the stock market has shot up solely because of credulous, high-paid boobs who think trump saying shit like “the war will be over in two weeks” is grounded in any kind of coherent thought

this lund guy is right

exactly! hard to sleep when you’ve got somebody going “sir can you please move your feet, i need to get to the bathroom” every five minutes

one of my greatest moments as a traveler was when the middle seat traveler didn’t show up for a cross-country flight, and me and the aisle seat guy just looked at each other and smiled like “we LIVIN’, bro”

it’s a great idea in theory that i think will prove to be an ineffective (yet still expensive) one in practice

if you open this I would like to join the faculty. my preferred classes would be English Composition, Cold War Studies, and/or Survey of Golden Age Hip-Hop Beefs

everyone’s been talking about the “relax row” like it’s an actual bed, but in practice it’s more like a Pack ‘n’ Play XL for one adult and one child. no idea where the third passenger is supposed to stash him/herself while all this relaxation is being had.

United is rolling out beds in economy. Here's how the airline's new 'Relax Row' will work. Customers willing to pay up for better sleep but don't need the caviar or expensive bubbly of business class have a new option.

so i’ve been hearing a lot about this, and i have questions.

on a United 787, Economy Plus seat pitch is 34”, width is 17.1”. allowing for armrest width, you’re looking at a 59” x 34” space when the “relax row” is fully unfurled.

you’re telling me three people are gonna snooze comfortably in that?

TMZ out there doing what NYT, the Post, etc won’t do. Not on my bingo card, but here for it

trump’s double-fucked because the pope is an american, a relatable dude from chicago who knows ball no less, which makes it that much harder for trump to paint him as an out-of-touch relic or The Other

The Pope is literally reading Pete Hegseth for filth.

Real Muthafuckin’ Gs

How is “viewpoint diversity” not just affirmative action for people with bad ideas

look, NYT, y’all are the ones who keep giving bret stephens column-inches, so maybe slow your fuckin’ roll here

i think if you unironically use a word ending in “-maxxing” i should get to slap you open-handed right across the face. sorry that’s just how i feel
