("You rolls a little bit far" is, like "my brother in elephant", another bit of "Backstroke of the West" idiom that deserves to make it into common parlance.
The concept of Hopeless Situation Warriors (the ones you call in when nobody else can help) is worthy of Lloyd Alexander!)
Ma'am I have no idea who put that item in the wrong place on the shelf, there is no way for me to find out, and you're rolling a bit far to assume it was a student and not a patron.
So the "learning experience" we're having here is about you.
You could probably get me onboard with "replacing your colleagues with AI" if I got to name the colleagues in question.
If you ever find yourself cringing at something you did in the past, it means you have grown as a person. Says Skeletor thinking wow I must have grown into a completely different person by now.
I believe in this institution's power as a force for good in this world & yet I must accept it has always been in the pocket of people who think human beings are for sale, who bought & sold children & used that money to buy prestige & honor.
I feel deeply ashamed.
Hate to give the power of journalism a w in this climate but I suffered a one-two punch after reading an article about [august institution]'s ties to [one of the original sins of our nation] in the 17thC & another about the same institution's ties to [rich child abuser] in the 21st.
Really jumping on the "tax the super-rich, not because I think we can pay for full luxury communism for the rest of us but just to stop them & take some of their power away because they are appalling people & decreasing their money increases the likelihood they will have to answer to somebody" wagon
“If the rule you followed brought you here (to me pointing a gun in your face), of what use was the rule? Wait, do you…wait, you also have a gun? Why do you also have a gun? You’re not supposed to have a gun. What the fuck? Mods?!?!”
If I were an Iranian hacker I would be TICKED that everyone keeps crediting my work to vibe coding!
I would get the yard into perfect shape and clear out my Mom's house so it was airy & fixed up & pleasant to be in and I would learn Hungarian & practice playing the guitar.
A rooster standing at the edge of the ocean with the text 'if you are seeing this the curse is lifted have a good day.'
Good Morning, World.
Hooray!🎊
It was workshopped into this one & ngl the ad before I could listen was for Sara Lee Half Loaves. ("Get excited for economic downturn by eating half as much bread!") www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqvY...
This keeps spinning around in my head for some reason: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq8B...
I think I struggle as someone whose name can have an h or not at the end but Brandons/Brendans/Brandens/Brendons walk an even more difficult path (if you are a racist your path cannot be difficult enough, though)
OK, the New Yorker writer hasn't had a heel turn; he's still dead & this is a different guy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan...
Back in 2010 I rented a room with use of bathroom & kitchen (it was near Porter Square) and all utilities included for $400/month.
I would be surprised if you could get a parking space for that now.
I am currently listening to some graduate students drum on buckets while they strike because they are in the same boat!
Like, if you're not building enough to bring the cost of housing down, all cost-of-living increases are just transferring money from your employer to your landlord & sort of skipping you!
He said the military was going to be focused on lethality. Whose lethality, he didn’t specify.
YIMBYism is what love looks like in public.
Honestly I think in places *like* greater Boston, where I know fiftysomethings with good jobs who still have to live with roommates, this phenomenon is part of the Terrible Vibes: inews.co.uk/opinion/10-y...
Do you ever see a really funny post, go "Wow, this person must really have their life together to be able to sum things up like that," & then go to the person's profile & realize they're an even worse trainwreck than you are?
Young Alfred, Lord Tennyson, with puffy hair and a soft sidelong/downwards gaze, looking like a dreamboat
Young Johannes Brahms with his blond hair swept back and his forthright blue eyes and nobly shaped mouth
My Mom is angry on behalf of Hot Young Tennyson that the pictures of him the newspapers always use are of Old Ravaged Tennyson, & I feel similarly about Snacc Brahms.
I don't like the Women Publicly Humiliating Themselves For Money Industrial Complex.
It is a bit hard watching people get so rich from scams and corruption. The only thing is that it doesn't seem to make any of them happy.
Even Wodehouse worked Mussolini and Mrs Sweeney aka the Duchess of Argyll, both quite horrible people, into his version of You're the Top. All the people Porter put into it were OK as far as I know!
Screw it, it's going to go down to the twenties tonight (again, WRONG TWENTIES. NOT THE TWENTIES I WANTED) so I am making myself some hot cocoa.
All vices are now solitary instead of social (porn not fornication, phone gambling not casino or racetrack gambling, getting high at home not getting drunk at a bar, even buying things you don't need's online rather than at the mall) & it isn't making anyone happy even in the fleeting way it used to
This is true.
