My favorite way to annoy my spouse is by doing things she thinks are dumb and then unbeknownst to both of us they turn out to be what the cool kids are doing

We had our cool queer Gen z neighbor over last night and she kept saying "swag," played pokemon with me, and split half a bottle of malort

The failure of lib responses to bullshit like this stems from a refusal to admit that there might be at least a kernel of truth in the offensive arguments.

"do you want our premium, regular, or basic podcast ad package?"

"Ooh what's premium ?"
"Our host reads your ad copy"

"Uhh what's regular then?"
"Our least confident public speaker on staff reads your ad copy"

"Oh god and basic?"
"We make him sightread it lmao"

Somewhere in New Jersey there was some prep school bro who unironically thought it was pronounced Snorlacrosse, and that to me is beautiful

I believe Women...

's 2010 album "Public Strain" was quite brilliant and now 15 years later that people are really vibing on the guitarist's "Cindy Lee" project, it deserves more respect
