I love how this play ends with an extended MST3K episode.

market people are fucking hilarious you could tell them the moon was discovered to be made out of rare pokemon cards and they'd boost trading cards stock 90000%

it’s easy to laugh at the British when they fail at sports like Baseball or Basketball, but it’s important to remember they have their own rich tradition of sports like Soccer, Cricket, and Rugby that they also repeatedly fail at.

Great Britain’s WBC jersey. It says β€œGREAT BRITAIN” in all caps in a kind of ugly plain font

A screencap from The Office: an office birthday party with one pathetic streamer, and a sign that reads β€œIT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY.” The sign is in all caps and in a kinda plain font (I wanna say maybe Helvetica? Idk)

Wait, I just realized what Great Britain’s WBC jerseys remind me of:

My God, do I despise Don’t Look Up. The most smug, self-congratulatory, β€œdumb guy’s idea of a smart guy” movie in a long, long while. I also hate that it’s a movie where if you dislike it, the counter argument is β€œyou’re making the movie’s point!” Cool. If that’s the case, let the asteroid hit.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

I have to say, I don’t love that a former editor for the β€œNew Yorker” is using this horrible war as an excuse to spread antisemitic conspiracies that New York Jews are all Israeli sleeper agents - especially when the state of Israel has made it clear it doesn’t care about us at all.

I think it’s very telling that when Punch was fighting for his goddamn life out there Moo Deng was nowhere to be found. She was supposed to be so great. Everyone loved her. I told you all she had no substance. I was right to despise her.

I’m getting a little sick of saying this, but I think it’s worth repeating, that this speech sounds no different than your average white nationalist website.

If you’ve shoveled his before and you aren’t constantly leaving your area of the sidewalk un-shoveled, then you should just think of this as neighbors helping neighbors and an opportunity for community. If you have time, you could always bake him something as a thank you

It’s fascinating that the MAGAs really seem to think fucking up American air travel out of pure spite (by suddenly shutting down TSA Precheck and Global Entry) on a day where a blizzard is hitting the entire Northeast will make people like them *more*

Theory: RFK Jr. is always doing his workouts/cold plunges/etc. with jeans on because he has a build and a temperament that screams β€œskips leg day” and if anyone saw his puny spaghetti noodle calves, his entire facade within the manosphere would crumble

starting your inevitable war on the judiciary under the banner of your least popular policy that's most likely to get congressional republicans to side against you

As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates.

First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/
