I'm so glad Gavin Newsom can serve as living proof that an ordinary schlub with a 960 SAT score, a state appeals court judge father, and an oil billionaire family friend can become governor of California

Whenever I see this old chestnut pop up on the internet I think that the show should be hosted by @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social as a kind of meta joke and the contestants' only clue to what is really going on.

Fun fact: my dissertation was (basically) about how the Venetian/literary Italian diglossia was reflected (and subverted) in 16th-c Venetian music

In addition to creating the essay, Montaigne was the first to pair a Fu Manchu moustache with cartoon baby hair

But we can all agree 'Operation Epic Fury' sounds like the name of a 4chan raid on a company that makes DRM for hentai games

Erosion is cancelled.

I do think it's funny how these natural features always seem to fit in with local culture, e.g. Italy had this arch symbolizing love and romance while New Hampshire had an old man living alone on a mountain because he thought sales tax was theft

Olympic figure skating is a lot like a middle school gym class in 1985 in that it involves a twink bottom trying to pass as masc by being athletic, nobody buying it, and a bunch of people throwing stuff at him before he starts crying.

I am the official 2025 roast champion of Welland, Ontario! Thanks so much Rose City Comedy Collective for creating such a wonderful space and community (and for the most money I've ever made in comedy) and to my very funny and formidable opponents.

And come to think of it, I wouldn't naturally think of brownies as a type of square or bar. To me that requires at least two distinct layers. Brownie is a kind of sheet cake, albeit a dense one. Clearly Wikipedia disagrees on that point though

To me just 'square' without a specifier like 'lemon' sounds naked. 'Bar', too. If I'm asking if there are any Nanaimo bars left, 'Nanaimo' is required

Yet somehow my joke about Luigi x Tyler fanfiction is a 'standards violation'.

(Although I suppose getting paired with Luigi in a prison romance RPF could be considered a compelling motivation for violets)

McDonald's Canada has put ranch dressing on poutine and this may be the first thing ever to convince me that Quebec really does need to secede to protect its culture

I don't know why the algorithm decided I wanted to see guys with beautiful long hair getting it chopped down into broccoli cuts but you should have to click through a sensitive content warning for that shit

Unfortunately this is a successful strategy because I'd 100% let Braeden live in my house for free as long as he kept the shirt off

It's usually some variation of 'Hi I'm Braeden I'm 24 and work in marketing in West LA and my budget to share a full-ass house on the west side is $1000/month and also here are some shirtless pics teehee'

Somehow Facebook has decided I'm interested in a group called 'LA Roommate Search!!!' despite that being a city I have not lived in since 2002 and from what I can tell it's just a bunch of the worst people in existence who think they can save on rent by being hot
