small european car vs normal (?) US SUV

(explaining an american car to a european) yeah so imagine if you were sitting in the back seat while driving,

Right in the middle of a White House event promoting their bizarre vision of "health," one of them passed out and required medical attention.

The writers are getting lazier and lazier.

i don't know this man and i wish him well, but it's very pointed for someone to have a medical emergency with a chyron like that from this administration

like i wouldn't write something this on-the-nose

the good news is that chaos is where new ideas are born, new paradigms are constructed, and the building of our future begins. the bad news is the chaos

a relief from the Temple of Esna, thought to have been made in the first millennium BCE

ancient people had many of the same problems that we did, such as showing up for the first day at work in a biotech lab to find that your coworker is a snake with arms and legs

never tell me to "cool down." you may not talk to me in this way and i do not accept commands regarding what emotions i'm allowed to feel and when i'm allowed to feel them. i mainly have this problem with my exercise bike, but now that i'm thinking about it, this goes for everyone else too

You want less traffic in your city? Nope. You want to stay safe from a rocket launch that seems to explode more often than not? Too bad.

no one wants or needs to see "AI" content which you used "the AI" to create in an attempt to shame the "AI." chuckle contentedly at it at your desk by yourself and do not take a screenshot

a lot of people are angry at me for calling magpies "the tuxedo cats of birds" when penguins exist, but penguins are not birds, they are ice mammals.

[hearing the tea kettle immediately start screeching once I walk into another room] there should be an aphorism about this

the AI sex bots cannot be anything other than a way for the panopticon to vacuum up all of your private sex thoughts to add to the database of your browsing activity, search history, likes, retweets, "encrypted" DMs, shopping habits, phone contacts, GPT conversations, geolocations, etc

the polyphasic sleep thing is wild!!!

I begin to wonder what other body parts you left in San Francisco, Frank, and I further begin to wonder if any of them were really yours.

getting on a curiously empty subway car: -20 NYer points

i was gonna say, are you new here? that empty car is *always* empty for a reason 😬

You have to appreciate the commitment to this extremely specific bit.

i’m on team “cute laugh lines”. absolutely no desire to look 20 years old forever, that would be weird!

mist from an afternoon storm hanging over the fields at sunset. people used to ask me "you think everything's a joke?" and i did and still do. its funny that we only see nice stuff for a moment in between doing two other things. its funny to take a crap. it's all funny. i hope im a tree next time

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC.

Please help spread the word.

“If you live in a basement apartment or low-lying area, be ready to move to higher ground.”

Using an umbrella in the subway is a vibe.

I’m going to groundbreak somebody’s ass when my inquiry into who is responsible for this terrible era is completed
