I'm no Talarico but I use "love thy neighbor as thyself" to shut these people up on a regular basis, and it is incredibly effective.

Talarico joining Mamdani and AOC in the "Dems who believe in things and talk like a real person" hall of fame, which is bittersweet for all of us who've spent years thinking things would go a lot better if Dems would do that.

putting my money on “Shup Glitto” so they can simultaneously confirm every complaint about Disney.

If this guy is named “Glup Shitto” it will be the funniest possible confirmation of every criticism people post of Lucasfilm.

I'm ecstatic the White community is finally embracing 317 Day

But I sure wish VISIT INDY would post about Midwest Leak and the Nap Or Nothing Stores 317 Day events that been going on for a decade....

lol "surfaces" doing as much work as "reimagine" here. it's just plagiarism! we already have a word for that!!

when it comes to cafes, I would just start a chain and advertise it specifically as not having overhead music. that shit is crazy to me. at least make it something ambient, who tf wants to sit down with a cup of coffee and listen to loud pop?!

I can't read while all the worst pop songs of the last 20 years play, I just can't!!

one thing that would be cool about being rich is I could keep a roll of hundred dollar bills in my purse for, among other things, bribing the people at front desks to turn off the music in the waiting area.

...AND REMEMBER, BOYS AND GIRLS, YOUR SCHOOL - LIKE OUR COUNTRY-IS MADE UP OF AMERICANS OF MANY DIFFERENT RACES, RELIGIONS AND NATIONAL ORIGINS. SO... ...if YOU hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin-don't wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN. HELP KEEP YOUR SCHOOL ALL AMERICAN!

you may not like it, but this is what peak libbing out looks like

Oh word that's the EXACT wording. It's some company that uses the same questions at multiple locations, I think it's called Hambone? Not Learned League though. I wonder if this is scandalous?

Story about me being stupid: At trivia last week, a question was "this term means something in fishing and means something very different in other sports." I said "It's 'kit', as in 'tackle kit,' it means gear in fishing but in a lot of sports it means uniform." The answer of course was tackle.

And of course, an idiot - now the photo editors will be angry and have no new photos to use except those that Kegseth doesn't like!

Nah I'm good, "the underlying story is pretty good but these are bad movies" has been my prequel position throughout.

Integrity is a hell of a drug.

Can I just say though, for almost 30 years, I've been planning and knowing that I would never let one of my kids go through what I have been through with my teeth and I'm in the process of checking this very big box and it feels goooooooood.

It’s cool how I’m going to spend the entire family medical deductible on my son‘s teeth this year and it won’t credit towards the family deductible at all! Yay for the healthcare system pretending the mouth isn’t in the body.

State quietly scraps plans for expanded White River State Park ‘We kind of got the wrong end of the stick over here,’ said a westside resident.

The Braun administration decided in February to scrap a 15-acre expansion to the White River State Park.

One westside resident: “There were guarantees for Elanco, and there were promises for the community.”

Happy Birthday!! 🎈🎂🎁🎊 🎉🖖🏻

Increasingly convinced that similarly to how bloodlust animates much of the online right wing, dreadlust animates much of the online left.

(But while I also see the bloodlust in normie offline reactionaries, I have yet to encounter much dreadlust in normie offline lefties.)

As someone who once co-authored two books in support of nuclear energy: this is likely the kiss of death to nuclear power.

It is a risky long term investment that is uniquely dependent on social acceptance. An incompetent, very unpopular government slashing safety rules leads to a reaction.

Gov. Braun 🤝 Mayor Joe

Fuck Indianapolis

Yes! One of those “sticks with me forever and I think about it almost daily” things is my therapist 20 years ago telling me that most intense wishes are also fears and vice versa. There is no reason anyone is talking about Newsom being the nominee unless they’re lusting for it.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

“I’ve still got it” I murmur to myself as my brain goes “well, actually the blockade was of a planet in response to the *taxation* of trade routes, which is what was in dispute.”

Glum George Lucas talks about how important trade disputes are.

the forces of No It Doesn’t are so tired
