I don't believe in .zip files - if god wanted the file to be that small, that's how small the file would've been in the first place.

Gave this the soundtrack it deserves. Kubrick was onto something when he picked the Blue Danube as the Theme of Objects Floating In Space.

@sickoscommittee.org did a breakdown earlier today!

"We're in Milan, Italy, at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, and over the next 2 weeks we'll be using a combination of skates, skis, boards, and sleds to get as many medals as possible, but right now its 8pm so we have got to GO GO GO!"

Not on the US list b/c the Team USA site didn't include them, but I did include Illinois and New York on the Canadian list for this reason! Also i counted the split Alberta/PEI as one for each of those.

And for the Canadians, since I'm already in Excel... Yukon would be at #3 overall, Alberta is new #13 b/t Czechia and Sweden, PEI at #18 b/t Slovakia and Denmark, and BC at #20 between Denmark and Lithuania

I did a quick US State breakdown as well! Alaska would slot in at 16 between Slovakia and Denmark, Vermont at (new) 18 between Denmark and Lithuania, and Colorado at (new) 20 between Lithuania and Canada.

A series of screenshots from the TV show "The Good Place" with altered captions. Janet: "Good news: a restaurant you enjoy has declined in quality recently." Michael: "Was it purchased by a private equity firm?" Janet: "I assure you, any changes are a result of fluctuating market conditions. We are a family, and are committed to the same high-quality service that you know and love." Michael: "Okay, show it to me." Janet hands Michael a cactus, which is labelled with JAB Holdings (the private equity firm that purchased Panera Bread), Berkshire Partners (the private equity firm that purchased Portillo's), and RaceTrac (the private convenience store owners that purchased Potbelly).

Technically it's a convenience store chain this time. But it's one of the 20 largest privately held companies in the US, so I think it still counts.

"It seems like none of you are paying attention to our dire warnings anymore," spokesperson says. "C'mon guys, we work really hard on this thing."

I had no idea that Peanut Tillman was an FBI agent. Can you imagine robbing a bank, getting 3/4 of the way away, and Peanut Tillman punches the burlap sack with a giant dollar sign on it out from under your arm?

@rodger.bsky.social can you hook me up with free Amazon Prime? This guy says you're Jeff.

It pains me to my core to say it but the Weenie 500 was a choreographed sham

"Unfortunately the lies machine we paid someone to turn on made things up, and no one bothered to double check it. This was both unavoidable and unforeseeable, and we will definitely make sure to disclose when the machine has been turned on going forward. We will continue to use the machine though."

America needs more hazelnut and chocolate combo flavored things. It's a Ferrero monopoly, and I'm desperate for some innovation.

the pope's first speech is a passionate condemnation of matt eberflus's late game clock management

You bought your home for cheaper because it was near a future development. Now that you're there, you want to cancel the build: screw everybody else, I got mine! Because Boulder (highest flash flood risk in CO) doesn't need flood mitigation, I need my view! Short term greed over long term planning.

Great, more bad faith whining from homeowners who moved next to CU-owned land & then cried that they're going to build on it! "If at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. you don't succeed..." throw another fit & try the exact same thing. A 3rd ballot measure in 5yrs is definitely going to convince people this time.

Happy Shamrock Shake season to the woman who told me "Oh honey, you must be thinking of Starbucks" when I ordered one at a McDonald's in New Orleans 10 years ago.

i am learning that the broader basketball community's awareness of a bad no call on a goaltend in the round of 32 of the ncaa tournament game from 2017 is not particularly high right now

John Fetterman’s a disgrace to the oaf community. He does not represent America’s lumbering buffoons, ham-fisted galoots, or men whose heavy footsteps are soundtracked by a tuba.
