So recently a friend of mine sent me the following photo and suggested it was a great idea. I mean, who wouldn't want a tree rex?

I agree, but I had some other ideas as well.

I will not apologize for what is to come next.
Obligatory.

I followed you specifically because of your sliding posts! Your posts also introduced me to all of the IBSF content on YouTube and I'm going back to watch all of the World Cup events ahead of the Olympics. Thanks!

Nice.

I can relate to both of those statements (though no treatment for me today because work changed our insurance this year and so now I have no prior auth for treatment anymore).

Just think - treatment for 5 more years means you get a front-row seat to watch the hellscape for that much longer!

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.

Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

So they have no plan but there's no way that anyone below the 1% sees a penny of this money.

I'm binging the World Cup bobsled and skeleton competitions ahead of the Olympics next month.

My favorite thing I've learned this morning is that the German sleds are sponsored by OnlyFans.

Poor guy, got a case of the yips in the OR and now he can't say "Yevgeny Kafelnikov."

Also, I'm pretty sure Best Medicine is just Down East Exposure.

Paul Rudd gets all the credit for being the celeb that never ages, but Josh Charles is holding his own quite well.

For a company that is trying to shake the "Microslop" nickname, they're doing an awful job

Lord John Marbury is a school headmaster in this episode of Law & Order I'm watching at the moment.

At this point, I may be done with Spravato and my ADHD meds, too.

That's all before I factor in what I've been paying for Spravato on top of that. The other prescriptions alone are going to eat almost my entire FSA balance for the year.

After my planned Feb/March trip, I may be done traveling this year.

Work switched health insurance companies for 2026, and I finally sat down and ran the numbers on what my prescriptions are going to cost on my new plan.

Assuming I move everything that I can over to mail order (minus my ADHD stimulant), I'm going to go from paying $1500/year to nearly $3000/year.

Being an adult is exhausting. The amount of work required to enjoy a little bit of time each day just doesn't seem worth it. There's always more to do and the list just gets longer and longer.

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror.

“We look brave,” said Frog.

“Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

Impeachment is the minimum. We should be yanking him out of the White House and putting him on a plane to The Hague
We have to impeach him.

Impeachment proceedings are mandatory. You either believe the presidency is governed by rules or you don’t.

Easily the most impressive thing I've seen so far this year.
Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti.

Mattia sips on an espresso during his.

Truly the heroes we need during these times.
