HAWKGIRL? KRYPTO?

I'm sorry, I've been so upset about the pending gov shutdown the sight of Hawkgirl just brought tears to my eyes.
The moment Superman's best friend showed up, I knew this is going to be exactly the Superman movie I've wanted for the past 2 decades of live action Superman attempts.

Cannot wait. Top of my must see list.

and the American people will cheer
Military aged men who sat out during the Global War on Terror, are going to come after and cut Veterans benefits.

They will be aided by actual Veterans so rich or able bodied, that they don't use these benefits.

They will do this in the name of fiscal responsibility before taxing billionaires.

Not the same thing but every summer my friend tries to convince me to go with her to a local "lazy river" place and every time I have to tell her that it sounds vile.

I'm going on almost 20 years of working with the public in some capacity or another and my conclusion is that unfortunately, a lot of people aren't very smart*, and they're mad about it.

*smart meaning like, basic sense and rudimentary 2-step thinking
I don't understand the reviews of a book that are like "The premise of this novel is too far fetched to be believed; it rendered the whole story ridiculous."

The premise of the novel was clearly stated in the synopsis. Why did you buy the book if you thought the entire premise was ridiculous?!

don't ask me exactly how or why but I know that some aggro paleo-diet person just came thinking about gravy coffee
make the most of your leftovers. use gravy instead of cream in your coffee.

@eve6.bsky.social I think they forgot to factor you in
if you take blink-182 and add twenty one pilots then add matchbox twenty then subtract another blink-182, the sum 41

I once said this on tumblr about people who skip tipping at restaurants and people said I was being classist.
if you can’t afford to tip generously you can’t afford to use these services :-)
i started doing delivery gig work and quickly learning that as a 20% tipper I was a golden goose for delivery drivers.

I'm applying for new jobs atm at every time I catch myself doubting whether or not I'm qualified, I think, "Would a mid white guy think he was underqualified for this? Absolutely not." Then I apply anyway.

idk how to tell you this but most people have no idea how the government works and they know there's overspending, so easily digestible dipshit-friendly "solutions" like DOGE sound fkn fantastic to the median voter.
The most baffling part is that CNN thinks there is an audience for this. Who is it?
"Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will be in charge of DOGE, are both brilliant, and the federal government has clearly become too expansive..."

What I really can't wrap my head around is how they're justifying a $5k bill. When we spend that much self publishing, it's bc we're paying humans to do an objectively better job than AI could. A fully automated process that produces inferior work should be...cheaper. By a lot.
Lots on here about Spines - the vanity publishing 'disruptor' - so I checked out their website (poor) and then to Amazon to read a sample from one of their 'authors' (😱).
I can safely assure the world's publishing industry and all of us who contribute that there is nothing to worry about.
Spineless.

Yes but also my emotions fly into turmoil when I see women in uniform wearing ponytails, braids, etc, barely any hint of hairspray, because my jealousy burns white hot that they don't have to endure the Marine-reg shellacked sock bun that physically hurts and pulls out your hair. It's incandescent.
*cough* AS A VETERAN, let me say:

There is nothing more lame than someone who is no longer in the military still caring about the haircuts of people still in the military. You gotta let that one go. It's sad.

There's a knock on the door, and I go to open it. A little boy says "hi, we live next door. My mom wants to know if she can borrow a cup of sugar." I say "You mom wants to know if she *may* *have* a cup of sugar." I am the world's most annoying pedant.

you laugh but blowing your nose after septoplasty is life altering
I just blew my nose and what came out was whole, blessed and pure. We must protect this thing at all costs for herein lies the sanctity of life.

Russia and tankies a struggling hard with the idea that NATO countries just don't like them
Key points about NATO enlargement:

1. No country has ever been forced to join NATO

2. All new members must first apply and meet rigorous standards

3. The vast majority of new members since 1991 have joined due to fear of Russian aggression

4. NATO has never attacked Russia

I actually did meet a transwoman in a public bathroom once like 8 years ago and we're still FB friends to this day

idk why it's so hard for these people to just be normal
I keep seeing this reference to public bathrooms as women's "private spaces" and I just do not understand it. Strangers are strangers even when they're women! We're not communing in there for hours at a time, talking about perimenopause and who's getting divorced and shaving our legs.

Democrats have been trying to play chess against a guy who just sweeps all the pieces off the board whenever it isn't going his way like they're dealing with a belligerent toddler but it's not a belligerent toddler, it's a terrorist.
Democrats are not ready for this moment. It’s so fucked up. How do you campaign on a guy being a dangerous fascist for MONTHS and then turn around and continue to abide by institutional norms like they won’t be destroyed on day one. I’m infuriated. I really am. We don’t deserve this horseshit.
