Certain dudes are still upset with me when I said in 2012 that here in the US, being a straight white male is living on the lowest difficulty setting of life. From here on out I'm just going to refer them to these DOGE staffer depositions, and then tell them to go fuck themselves.

IT IS TIME

The man looked up from his beach chair.

"Really?" He said. "I've only just retired."

Death held up a timer. A single grain was about to fall. And then... It didn't.

CURIOUS

Vetinari shrugged.

I can't say that I'll be boycotting Chili's as it has been years since I've been in one, and you can't really boycott a restaurant you already don't go to. That said, I'll be happy not to change my habits, transphobia leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Italian Engineer 1: "Okay, that should do for the Ottawa client."

Italian Engineer 2: "I hear Canada gets cold - like up in the Alps - should we use the ice-proof catenary?"

Engi 1: "Well, what's the altitude of the city?"

Engi 2: "...fifty to one-fifty meters."

Engi 1: "NAH, no snow that low."

1. Julia Angwin is awesome.

2. I checked Ohio's laws and if I am also in this "expert review" database (I can't go in and check, I don't have an account), Grammarly also violated my publicity rights under the laws of my state.

Honestly at this point in my life I'm very much why the hell would I go to a mid-tier chain restaurant when every city in the US with a population over 5,000 has a probably kickass locally-owned Mexican restaurant that serves better food much cheaper

'Someone had to do something': Passerby tried to tackle vape shop fire Lamin Kongira was walking along Union Street when a shopkeeper began shouting about a fire in the vape shop

My fellow Glaswegians, if this man doesn't get Freedom of the City or a similar honour for his bravery might I suggest we start referring to 'Union Corner' as 'Kongira Corner' when its rebuilt?
