Fucks sake I can't even have soup without a merch tie-in? Capitalism sucks, man.

Yes, exactly this. And I'll also add that I think the vibes have changed post pandemic. Something's lost there.

Early March is always gonna have an eerie feel to it. It is mind blowing to remember that last normal night of going out with some friends, six years ago, before our entire society changed.

I've been running errands today and the gas station price went up 20 cents a gallon from when I went out to when I came home

Small stakes rant but... it sucks that big bookstores are basically turning their kids books sections into toy stores.

I want my kiddo excited to go for **the books**

What happened to calling these guys "weird" I felt like that was working for a while

Damn that's a good name.

We have unlimited supply so we need more. 🫀🫩

Thank you. That was a very useful read, and exactly what I was looking for

Can anyone point me to an explainer about how sites like polymarket became legal? I thought that type of online betting wasn't allowed generally.

I'd do the G as "grifting"

Sometimes all I want is for Democrats, specifically, to apologize to everyone they called "hysterical" about the possibility of a Trump presidency.

We were fucking right, you fucks.

That's a great question and I wonder... I have identified myself as female in app but don't remember the process. I will have to ask my male coworkers next time we travel together what theirs look like.

A picture of many dinos together with the text "dinosaurs love to see their friends"

I know children's books don't have to be super accurate but after a nice page for each of these dinosaur species, this is the final page?

(I know we don't have to explain predator prey dynamics to littles but... Really?)

Has anyone who used the Uber feature to request a female driver ever gotten one? Every single time one done it, I've gotten a message that all female drivers are busy. Feels like a scam feature honestly.

Fuck it was a pilot they thought needed to be on the flight and they were WRONG so we're leaving now.

Well in a first ever for me, my flight is returning to the gate to let someone else on. WTF.

Is anyone talking about that cool gadget Green used to unfurl and conceal that sign? I want one.

I love writing. I love the process of writing. I love that people like to read my writing. Off-shoring it to a stupid computer is a heartbreaking concept to me.

Good grief at least come up with a new pseudonym.

Eating alone on Valentine's Day and forgot my ID (just grabbed card and hotel key) and realized after the bartender wouldn't give me a beer that I must look sus as hell. Of course, I'm acting exactly like a liquor control board plant would. Oops.

joking aside, hearing officials say we want "the right people voting" gives me physical chills.

Are there awards for the most frustrating online shopping interface and why is it Staples?

It lost my cart THREE TIMES.
