lady if you don't know EVEN ONE man who would play along with a chatty toddler in line in front of him at the grocery store checkout, I'm gonna assume you're just a magnet for trash men
"did I get to hold a baby at any point, y/n" is like my dad's #1 assessment for whether the day was a success
Seems like a pretty bad deal for Hungarian taxpayers tbh
Claire Willett @clairewillett.bsky.social She/Her that's where I'm at with it. 25+ years ago my dad was both a member of a Catholic organization with a Jerusalem cross logo, AND a cantor at a monthly Latin Mass, both of which were then primarily frequented by like grandmas. he would not do either of those things again. they are not for grandmas now 10:54 PM • Apr 20, 2026
This is basically what I’m saying. The meanings of things change over time and if you’re asking non-Christian people to trust you then you have to understand the broader implications of your choices.

I *do not* think this is a Platner situation!!!
I *do* think this is a “maybe you should reconsider this” situation.
The Jerusalem Cross is a symbol of the Crusades. Disingenuous people argue it’s “just a representation of Christianity and not bigoted”
But we all fucking know the Crusades was about massacring anyone that wasn’t Christian.
Pete Hegseth has a HUGE one tattooed on his chest
It’s a symbol of hate.
Thanks for the reminder that I should check if I can put a Libby hold on River of Teeth with my local library (answer: yes!)
anyway from a 2026 perspective there is hardly anything more ridiculous as a smear tactic against a leftish candidate for Governor than "almost a decade ago, he fairly compensated a sex worker for their services"

I haven't really tried a lot of the novelty ones, but honestly I'm not sure you can beat a standard ballpark italian sausage with peppers and onions. that's the platonic ideal of that particular meal.
What is the best sports movie in history?
HEY MAN
WHAT THE FUCK
WHY IS EVERY CANDIDATE IN THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S RACE A TOTE BAG OF MEDICAL WASTE
they were never my favorite, but they're definitely fine
since there were, at the time, only three broadcast networks (and often a small handful of UHF stations per market), the local newspaper (there used to be local newspapers) would publish the broadcast schedule weekly
TV Guide—the little one—was a booklet you had to take out in order to see when you had to watch things, and when I was in grade school, I couldn’t record them either.
You watched the new Happy Days on Tuesday by changing the channel at 8 when it was on, or you didn’t see the episode until summer.
“Pied-a-terre tax“ is such brilliant branding. Impossible to whine out loud about a ”pied-a-terre tax“ while sounding like a normal person.
"I look over at the guys leaving their office jobs in full-sized pickups with pity. It’s not their fault they live lives that are, at the end of the day, undignified."

This podcast "Final Thoughts" is really making me think about what the world might have been like if Jerry Springer's (yes, really) political career hadn't been derailed by essentially meaningless scandals
Wonder if this chart has anything to do with this story
Good to hear Kirk warming up to the Butlerian Jihadist position, as usual Jason is the wrongest Triple Clicker
I appreciate @midimyers.com on this latest Triple Click ep throwing a bone to us in the "'AI' is a fake propaganda term in the first place" crowd
Oh, that's good to know!
RIP Daddy Jones. I didn't make it to the farewell, which I regret. The space is still empty. La Posada does have their sidewalk tables out in anticipation of the warm weather, though!
Same! I got in the habit of going on Mondays way back when they had Beer Geek Mondays.
I need that Untitled Goose Game expansion or sequel immediately
nobody told the goose that they outlawed the shift
It’s a beautiful day at the ballpark and you are a horrible goose
If you ever happen to come back to visit on a Monday between about 5 and 7pm, I'll probably be at Olde Magoun's Saloon!
i remember my sister saying something like, "there is nothing you can stockpile that will ever be as important to survival as community"
(the wrong lesson to take from this, i'm sure, but i was relieved to hear there might be a place for personality hires in the post-apocalypic social order)
The future of making sure you don’t leave this guy alone with your drink
