Someone's jealous of the attention the guys in the Epstein files are getting!
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Tried to show my son the game Fez, and, sad to say , it really doesn't hit when you haven't been forced to play a billion variations of platforming 2D sidescrollers for a decade.

Did the ancient Greeks, in the millions of times they repeated the myth of Persephone and Hades, never think about the fact that pomegranates have more than four seeds?

I'm old enough to remember when democrats had overwhelming election victories a week ago and they have already lost all of the confidence and resolve that should have given them.

every once in a while I think of a question that LLMs should be good at: "What percentage of Taskmaster UK contestants are male?" should get me close to an answer, but 6 queries in & its still counting contestants for multiple seasons, saying Greg & Alex, calling females males, & not giving 5 names

Social workers should be eligible for every discount or privilege that police, firefighters, veterans, or teachers get.
I get why they are collectively underappreciated, but I don't get why no one mentions it.

I see a lot of people I usually agree with demonstrating out in the streets today, and I support their speech but, I'm sorry, I didn't think Kumail was THAT bad as Kingo.

The idea that anyone is 'inherently bad' should be anathema to anyone promoting an equal and democratic society.
Internalizing people's behaviors is anti-scientific and prevents us from actually addressing the cause of those behaviors.

Liberals,
I realize this is hard to hear but many, many people are not inherently good.
At least half are inherently bad and capable of terrible, terrible things.
Esp once they feel like they’ve been unleashed.

As an American who never knows who any Taskmaster contestants are, I trusted them too much to shield me from this particular strand of whining British comedians.

I am unemployed, but I don't know how desperate I'd have to be to take any job where I am incentivized to invite people to mock me for my bad opinions

Chiitan is fucking shooting transphobes out of the sky. Portland is run by a frog militia. The furries will save us.
Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
