i need a snopes-like website for when i have to ask "is this really a thing?" about outrageous internet stories.

not myths dispelled but scenarios like, as an example, future mother in law wearing white to a wedding. it's not zero people doing that but how many is it really, rough ballpark at least

at my most charitable, my thought is still: don't these dinosaurs have grandkids they want to hang out with, boats to buy and tend to, gardens to fuss over, philanthropy to do, memoirs to write, etc.? even important work like legislating is not supposed to be your whole damn life

don't play with my heart

the algorithm sucks at its job if i'm getting tons of ads for gambling & betting markets. i played slots w/ someone else's money *once* almost 20 yrs ago & haven't gambled since. i never watch or read about sports. i never look at prediction odds.

do they just push this stuff to literally everyone

people are wild. one private client said to hold a certain time for her every week and charge her for it... even if she's not going to show up. "you can just charge me every time and if I don't come you can take a break and get a coffee or something" 🤯

very grateful to have a job where people are highly likely to be nice and in a good mood

things are terrible but in small nice things news, my client nailed a plank today and another one gave me a jar of local honey that their wife collected

two headlines reading "Futures Jump: Trump Suspends Iran Deadline By 2 Weeks" and "DOW futures jump 300 points on hope for last minute Iran deal before Trump's deadline"

dude

my one shred of hope is that one of his toadies might tell him that not obliterating iran could cause a stock market jump

i like that we all (for the most part) collectively agreed that we don't do april fools anymore since electing the biggest, worst joke of all time in 2016

my elderly parents went to a protest. for the first time literally ever. that's how much this guy sucks.

oh cool i hope it kills him

i have a tiny complaint and it is that it should be written vacay and not vaca

so nice to sit for a moment and roast in the car

[scrolls past multiple polling numbers posts]

man it sucks to know that slightly more than a third of everyone you encounter is going to be a dangerously stupid piece of shit

coworker asked if i used snapchat. i was like, i'm 43, isn't that illegal or something

i hope (perhaps in vain) that these numbers are so appallingly low because people are tuned out from news and not because 40ish% of the country approves of the gestapo

really wish i was not acutely aware of just how long an old man can still live looking like this (and worse)

is there literally anything ordinary folks can do about this stupid greenland shit? if someone is acting unilaterally then the standard "annoy the fuck out of your elected officials with calls, emails & letters" isn't going to help, and "demand impeachment if he does it" does nothing for prevention

yes! an older friend's dad just died at 100 years old. he had everything wrong with him pretty much and his body just. kept. going.

as much as i want this man to die and die soon, i have had relatives who were this unhealthy and this non-compliant and they still lived another ~10 years 😔

what do you even buy for a person who doesn't drink, hates scents, isn't into tech, doesn't do spa or salon anything, has one hobby that they buy things for constantly, is already well covered on streaming & music, and doesn't eat much because they're on a GLP1

inside you there are two Lindas

those 5 little words that every lady wants to hear:

let's go to wing night

i love when dogs have the neon nighttime collars, it looks like they love to party

whenever people start talking to me about how dangerous they think baltimore city is they are always talking about the parts i have lived and worked in, all of which have some of the least violent crime

i had the most intense uber driver just now. he gave a time estimate of my house to bwi which was really short and i was like 'wow, that's crazy, one time my old boss did downtown to bwi in 12 minutes' and before i could complete the last syllable he says "i could beat that"

anyone ever ask about jury nullification at jury duty? i haven't but i bet they get real mad

i want to go to a party where the theme is that you MUST dress as one of bosch's weird little guys

big agree! terrible name, fabulous food. i got a piece of uncannily realistic faux meat and cheese lasagna the size of duvet last night
