Every time a lightbulb burns out for a brief moment it burns brighter than ever. I notice that often too with pro athletes. I always get worried when I see an aging superstar player have a sudden career high year.
Sometimes when people complain about woke I remember that in 2021 the MLB All Star game was relocated to Colorado because of woke. Woke gave us the best homerun derby of all time. Long live woke!
Something nobody tells you about getting a pug is. Every once in a while you will get a splint in your foot and when you go to take it out it’s a dog hair somehow?
It makes sense to me that this would be the final breaking point for Twitter. I stopped using facebook after the 2016 election. It was pretty clear to me a few years ago that Twitter had become even worse than facebook but I think it took an election for people to notice.
If you’re a leftist trying to organize on “x the fascist app” just save yourself some time and fax a copy of your drivers license to your local FBI field office.
Tried a few different recipes with this sous vide set up. It sure beats the hell out of the slow cooker for pulled pork. Realized my cooker is off by 1.8 C so I want to try steak again now and see if I get a better result.
One thing I did a while ago that greatly helped my sanity was plugging my phone in in the living rooms before I go to bed at night. And with that I say good night.
Baseball stat question: if you have decent exit velocity what is the ideal launch angle for a homer? One would assume that 45 degrees would get you the most distance but I’m not so sure.
Saw this Apple AI commercial. A dad receives a gift from his daughters. A hammer with his initials on it. The wife who apparently forgot it was his birthday, tells her phone to make a montage of photos/videos of him doing wood crafting with his daughters. It ends with her just hanging him the phone.
It’s funny to me that on Pitbull’s “international love” his original intro: Went from Mr. 305 to Mr. World Wide.
Someone was like: people won’t know what 305 means
So he added in over dubs: 305 (dade county) World Wide (all over the world)
You know just incase they didn’t know what world wide means
Now that the Phillies and Red Sox are in on Soto I think the Dodgers should be involved only in so much as to drive up the price. He rakes but he is bad defensively.
Remember when trump decided to just adjust everyone’s federal withholdings so we we all felt like we were getting more money and then a ton of people owed money at the end of the year?
Gonna be a long time waiting for that op-ed about how trump needs to be a unifier or whatever. Wonder if it will come before or after all this affordable housing the landlords promised us if we voted against rent control.
Even if she by some miracle pulls it out here this is deeply disturbing. Do Americans have the memories of goldfish? Shit was terrible last time it will only be worse this time.
As we slide into a second trump term don’t give these legacy media outlets what they want. They wanted trump because he moved paper. Do not subscribe to NYT, WaPo or any of the others. Find an indi alt publication and support that instead.
Still convinced that all the stories we used to hear about razor blades in candy apples, tainted candy etc was just propaganda by the candy company to get people to stop giving out homemade treats on Halloween.
One super annoying thing about America is that when you go to buy something in the store they calculate the tax and add it then instead of just including in the price from the start. The reason we do this is because right wing dipshits want to make taxes as annoying as possible.
I remember when Bernie first ran in 2016 and I liked him but I thought maybe outright vilifing billionaires was counterproductive. Since then billionaires have been proving him right time and again. There’s really no such thing as a good billionaire. I’m learning and growing.
I think if I tried to explain to my kids that we vote on a Tuesday because they didn’t want Religious people to have to ride a horse on the Sabbath they wouldn’t believe me.
Prop 13 is my litmus test for YIMBYs if you’re worried about rent control but never talking about prop 13 then you’re just repeating a bunch of landlord talking points and haven’t actually done the reading.
If I was eating shit for calling a large portion of my own supporters garbage I think I’d do anything I could to change the conversation. I suppose you could show up your rally in a hi-viz vest and call yourself the garbage man though. To each their own.
Whenever anyone tries to say that supporting trump isn’t just racism or trump isn’t a racist. Birtherism was a racist conspiracy theory and trump was on tv all through Obama’s presidency spreading it.
A fun thing about re-watching the Beverly Hills Cop films is how Eddie Murphy gave cameo appearances to up and coming comedians. Damon Wayans plays a waiter in the hotel and Chris Rock plays a valet at the Playboy mansion.
I will forward believe that the “dean scream” was a coordinated media hit orchestrated by Hillary and her backers. He got excited once and all the sudden it was the only thing everyone on every 24 hour news channel would talk about. Couldn’t have happened in today’s media environment.
