Thank you! I get so much shit for saying the same thing! The worst part for me is that despite my best efforts all of these tunes get stuck in my head. By Xmas, I'm jingle-bell-rockin' my way into a white Christmas straight jacket.

Doesn't look like it to me, and at least one of the sites to check for AI generation seems to agree.

Reminds me of when I was a professor and I'd get a paper from a student and it was clear that they hadn't actually read the assignment.

Ah yes. Grade grubbing. I once had a student tell me, teary-eyed, imagining I could somehow relate, that if she didn't get at least a B in my class her parents would take away her Cayenne.

I resisted the easy joke about an alternative spice because I knew she meant a Porsche.

Also: I'm not vouching for the validity or lack thereof, not my thread, not my pics, etc. Just pointing you to where I saw what OP posted.

That comparison is unfair to tap water. 😁

Isn't that a line from an Alanis Morrissette song?

Sorry, couldn't resist the bad joke, and don't mean to dilute your point, which I agree with.

Joe goes way back kissing Trump's saggy orange ass. He was open to being his VP pick back during Trump's first run. I find none of this surprising.

Scarborough briefly flirts with being Trump’s running mate
The TV host closed the door on the idea after a speculative interview.

Not super surprising, and let's not forget that Joe did once suggest "some openness" to being Trump's VP during the first run:

Also, look at the way he beclowned himself for his orange daddy... His ego is much greater than his intellect.

Of course, I do too.

But if one plans to be a dictator on day one, what does a Congressional majority matter?

I'm kidding... Sort of.

some states like florida have already criminalized the existence of trans people. trump wants to do that on a federal level. every time trans people say "hey they're trying to make it illegal for me to be a live" cis people go "well surely it can't be that bad, you're exaggerating" but no we're not!

Belmont Ave is terrible too. And people blowing through red lights is an epidemic in this city, as is just plain rude driving. I get honked at for waiting for people in crosswalks all the time too. All this "fuck you" driving is too much.

My uncle had such a horn on his pickup back in the day, complemented by his vanity license plate of "KBRON."

12-year-old me thought this was completely hilarious.

51-year-old me still thinks it's pretty great too.
