Love it and would love to add something I come back to every once in a while.

The Paperwork Explosion.

(to gas station attendant) hey man how’s it going. How do I set the pump to sips again? If I wanna drink some little sips? Sips don’t cost

Maybe just a sip won't hurt too bad

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

i am like halfway to writing genuine advice for this person for this blatant attempt to stir up drama despite saying they don't want to

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

Trump is in Vegas. It's Wrestlemania weekend, also in Vegas. There's no way Trump dies in the ring at Wrestlemania. But we can't rule it out.

Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship ser...

If I recall correctly she had been in a car accident & received it in the ER. To save her life of course. I could sense anger and bitterness but that wasn’t the point; she was determined to scare the shit out of us and make us take it seriously. It worked.

Learning about the IMAX screenings of Cave of Forgotten Dreams a little too late to catch one. The climactic sequence of this documentary basically never fails to make me cry
