Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back

I love the way killdeer walk on their funny little legs but they are not the brightest

Have a great day, Marie!

A movie couple who would definitely have a podcast

I thought the basement portions were the most interesting.

These people seem very surprised their toddler isn’t enjoying the tour of Biltmore House. He keeps throwing his audio guide on the floor.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Looking at my haters

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."

FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."

hmm

Look, just because they’re both an “m” doesn’t mean they like each other!

Watched Julia win the mile race at a track meet today and I remain amazed I was integral to the creation of this human.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

I don't care what Kristi Noem and her husband are doing in their private lives. It's none of my business what consenting adults do in private.

But I do find it very strange that these people believe the private lives of the rest of us are their business while they're doing this.

A Texas pregnancy center told her everything was fine. Three days later, she was in the ER A crisis pregnancy center told a Texas woman that her pregnancy was intrauterine. Three days later, she had emergency surgery for an ectopic, or out-of-uterus, ...

A Texas woman nearly died after a crisis pregnancy center missed her ectopic pregnancy.

The staff there said it's not their problem, though, because the ultrasound was “for educational purposes only.” www.dallasnews.com/business/hea...

starts a brand new war and creates a brand new problem for absolutely no reason, lmfao

Oh shit, I’m sorry. I can only imagine how that changes everything. ❤️

Is this made to make Melania look warm and human by comparison?

Maybe offer more non-soda/coffee ad options? There are some nice af wines out there and on the rare occasion when restaurants have them on the menu I’ll order a glass or two.

For a second I thought he died and that was kind of exciting.

Just a reminder that this account just makes things up and presents them as news. It's lib fan fiction. Nothing from the Halfway Post is real.

They pretend it's satire, but what is this even satirizing? What's the commentary? What's the joke?

The Trump administration has managed to make us all sympathize with TSA agents.

In Norwegian we have «fritidsproblemer», which literally means «free time problems», and sort of indicates the same thing. I realise I haven’t used it in ages, but as a teenager, asking «do you have free time problems» was a low-level insult, along the same lines

user abbiistabbii: The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing. Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour. It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words!

That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go

It promotes a growth mindset!!

Happy Birthday! I’m sorry you’re feeling lonely.

Completely worth it, imo
