Mamdani is going to implement Jadzia law. Everyone will be forced to host a symbiont.
Mamdani is going to implement Shakira law. Hips will no longer be able to lie.
Mamdani is going to implement Shania law. That don't impress me much.

I agree with Michael Schur about so many things — baseball, comedy, politics …

The summer I turned 19, I played one of the thieves in a children’s theatre production of Ali Baba. In one scene where we were hiding treasure we had stolen the director wanted us to enter to the song “Shake Your Booty” and we should be literally shaking the chests full of treasure we were holding.

I’ve heard the show is quite good, but I cannot imagine a less appealing tagline.

All along, I was misreading Abigail Spanberger’s name as “Spangenberg” and I was hoping she might be related to this very likable Jeopardy champion I remember from the early 90s. I am … mildly disappointed.

When she says “ooh, gamer,” it seems like she’s into it. But if you swiped right on a silver fox and when you met him for coffee you saw that he works at Target in his 50s (?) AND he’s a gamer…is that a GREEN flag?
Somehow the hardest thing to accept in this “Santa on a Tinder date” commercial.

Yes, advertisement, I know we are. But after Tuesday night, some of us were starting to feel like we have a chance of getting back to being the real thing… Thanks a lot.

I always tend to wanna write it as “whoah” so I guess I’m some sort of renegade maverick who plays by his own rules.

A lot of people leave out the hyphen in Spider-Man’s name. But I’ve never seen anyone forget the hyphen in X-Men.
“Spiderman” looks like it could be a Jewish surname. But what could “Xmen” be? Like, an extremist, all-male Christian sect, using the X the way we use it in Xmas?

I’ve seen so many people referencing Daylight Saving Time as lasting six months. It was actually March 9-November 2 this year. That’s almost eight months. Daylight Saving Time lasts longer than Standard Time now. One of very few good things the George W. Bush administration did.

You can never anticipate the questions you’re gonna have to answer in adulthood, like “is this recipe worthy of the good olive oil?”

Obviously these are terrible people because they love Nick Fuentes. But can we agree that a man who sees his partner put that much effort into a Marilyn costume, then calls that bullshit a JFK costume has never remembered an anniversary, cooked a meal, or seen an in-person female orgasm?

My 12-year-old just posited that the original Universal Monsters series ended with all the monsters meeting Abbott and Costello, because Abbott and Costello were the real monsters.… I’m not sure that holds up to scrutiny.

I often have to speak to businesses in Florida for my day job. And really, the whole state is about 75% of the way to Idiocracy. Just a crumbling dystopia of ignorance and incompetence that everyone just accepts as the natural state of things.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.
