Infinite respect to Woke Hoth Guy, who freestyled a two-minute Federalist paper.

It’s 2025 and you can trust a 14-year-old girl to give you better context about Megyn Kelly than the New York Times which gave her a slow-mo photo shoot

I am. For question two.

Again, they are two completely unrelated tasks.

It doesn't. It's just an entirely separate thing. It just wants you to understand the pattern of 1 is A, 2 is B, etc.

Two are two different puzzles / questions. The [ ] underneath are where the test-giver would mark correct or not for each.

If he's a "bad guy," why did he appoint him as national security adviser to begin with?

Bluesky is still so small, I feel like I can be more open over here...

So... some good news! I asked my boss for 22% raise yesterday β€” and he basically approved it on the spot β€” no pushback at all. Will get it in writing soon 😁

Was the first time in my life I had ever asked for a raise, too. πŸ˜†

Guys.

It's okay to be wrong.

Tripling down on something so stupid and objectively false is childish. I'm not trying to be a pedantic asshole - but like, WORDS HAVE MEANING.

You can't just make shit up.

That sounds about right! I'm in r/Letterboxd and /BruceSpringsteen a lot too - which, again, very much my lane. Haha.

Oh. It turns out he's just an absolute fucking moron.

My average experience on Reddit... (we're discussing movies)

Me: Being sincere, and possibly oversharing.

Callous 20-something Redditor: weirdly flippant and needlessly cruel?

... why are people like this? And follow-up question: what *did* he mean?! I still don't understand his implication.

Sharknado 2: The Second One premiered 11 years ago today.

Some of its cameo roles have... not aged well.

a man in a purple suit and top hat talks to a little boy ALT: a man in a purple suit and top hat talks to a little boy

At the end of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Wonka bequeaths his entire candy empire to a small German boy because he "can't go on forever."

Gene Wilder is only 38 in this movie.

Dude got one look at middle-age and was like, "fuck it, I'm out." πŸ˜‚

You Put Something Better Inside Me YouTube video by Stealers Wheel - Topic

Everyone knows Stealers Wheel from that iconic scene in Reservoir Dogs with "Stuck in the Middle With You," but on that same, self-titled album is this track...

Maybe a top-50 all-time for me. β™₯️Can't believe I only discovered it a couple years ago...
