Is there anything private equity won't fuck up

I've never wanted AI to replace people more than these folks. Thanks for making me root for AI, assholes

📢 ALT COLUMBO THREAD 📢

Tweet by “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth: “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.” Below there is a video of the announcement for his many, many illiterate fans

Behind Hegseth’s big stupid face, a painting can be seen.

The painting is of George Washington crossing the Delaware. It is by Emanuel Leutze.

An article from the National Parks Service: Smallpox, Inoculation, and the Revolutionary War Boston National Historical Park During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies. Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.

FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT DEAD

Not arriving *anyplace* early for *anything at all* seems insane to me. It’s the time equivalent of packing 7 pairs of underwear for a weekend

My cousin Shawn took weed to impress a girl when we were teenagers and his asshole & penis switched places. All the doctors at the (real) Pitt threw up when they saw it. Be my guest and Get “high” if you want this to happen to you

Pitchman goes to the chalkboard, writes “Charlie And The Chocolate Factory” on it. Then he slowly erases the And and writes Vs. instead. Room of execs explodes in applause.

“The Ghost Vs. The Darkness. Butch Cassidy Vs. The Sundance Kid. Gone Vs. The Wind. WE CAN MAKE MOVIES FOREVER.”

It would be weird if Biden signed Trump's name

Octopussy is the only one I remember for sure.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

And vice versa - as long as someone closer to the ground is able to reach down for a jar off the bottom shelf for me I'll do my part.

Exactly one year ago today:

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Girl, the solution to "the system is exploiting and replacing us" isn't "get a new system that can exploit and replace us". What are we even doing here? You can't fight for women if you're fighting for the technology that will run them out of the workplace.

Has anyone told them these name changes are stupid?

I mean, I'm sure my NY Rangers have done something egregious that I just haven't heard about yet, but hoo boy Texas sure is right up there now

If you want to feel your brain cells crumble to dust, go and read the comments on the linked Reddit post

I think we should all start blogs again. Or online journals, even. That was a nice time. Just writing a few paragraphs about your day (don't forget to list the sad song you're listening to!) and maybe your friends will leave a comment. Then you go and read theirs and comment. It was fun.

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

Jesus Murphy but Leslieville smells like ass today
