Neither funny nor fun. Honestly not sure why you’d follow me. Anybody upset about pronouns in a bio deserves to be upset (he/him).

Artist’s rendition of what Trumpcare would look like…
A thin white women with chin-length brunette hair giving double middle fingers directly to the camera with a very large, enthusiastic smile. She is wearing a black shirt that reads “F*CK OFF AND DIE.”

Lucy, with the football!

Charlie Brown, a blockhead once again.
Screenshot from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called “Darmok.” In this episode, Captain Jean-Luc Picard struggles to communicate with a Tamarian ship’s captain named Dathon. Tamarians speak only in extended references to their culture’s mythology, making the speech patterns a form of referential shorthand that is only understandable if you “get the reference.” In the photo, Dathon is on the left, a hairless humanoid with ridges on his head and very large nostrils compared to humans. He wears a gray and green tunic, and is laughing loudly. Jean-Luc Picard is on the right, pictured from behind. He is a bald man of medium build wearing a gray and black turtleneck. The two figures are outside in the wilderness during the day time.

Who’s giving odds that she actually publishes a book titled this when she inevitably cashes in (no pun intended)?
Image from a newscast from 2013 about Paula Broadwell, who had an affair with then-Director of the CIA, David Petraeus whilst writing a book about him. This particular newscast used a digital-edited picture of Broadwell at an event to promote her book about Petraeus, where the title of the book was altered from the actual title “All In” to instead read “All Up In My Snatch.” Petraeus resigned from his position when the affair became public. The news broadcasters issued a correction and regretted their error.

Oof, Rule of Goats violation!
Bluesky post from Ken White. ======= The Rule of Goats is this: If you fuck a goat, you're a goatfucker. It doesn't matter that you were fucking the goat ironically, or to troll people. You fucked a goat. July 27, 2023 at 9:02 PM ========

Oh shit, he did the meme!
A tweet from user “MAGATRUMPYES” reading on Sep. 29, 2020. The text is simply: “#NewProfilePic” There is an image of a Black man with short hair and a goatee wearing a light blue button-down collared shirt, framed from the shoulders up. Also inside the image is a header indicating it is the result of a Google Image Search for “black man photo.” The implication being that the user is not a Black man, but is merely attempting to impersonate one on the Internet for political purposes.

Simpsons…did it…?
Scene from The Simpsons, where Sodeshow Bob is being asked about his chest tattoo that appears to read “Die Bart, Die.” Panel 1: Sideshow Bob is sitting in a hearing, his short open and revealing his tattoo: SIDESHOW BOB: “No. That’s German for ‘The Bart, The’.” Panel 2: Wide shot of the room in the hearing, Sideshow Bob is sitting to the left with an attorney standing in front of him. In the foreground, a woman is speaking to a man sitting to her right: WOMAN (smiling): “No one who speaks German could be an evil man.”

The “impossible odds” thing is also very funny to me.

Because if that were actually true, that would be a broken game.

Like, that’s literally one difference between a game and real life.

These guys need to watch more Star Trek.
Photo of Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He is standing near a doorway, wearing a red and black uniform. He is bald white man. He is captioned with a quote from the show: “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”

Meme using images from The Simpsons, where a disgruntled bus driver is captioned as “Don’t make me tap the sign” in a first panel. In the second panel, his finger is shown tapping a sign. In this meme, the original sign has been replaced by a different meme image, a real-life sign that reads “No Posing Zone.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factors...
First paragraph from a Wikipedia article titled “Factors of Production” ====== In economics, factors of production, resources, or inputs are what is used in the production process to produce output-that is, goods and services. The utilised amounts of the various inputs determine the quantity of output according to the relationship called the production function. There are four basic resources or factors of production: land, labour, capital and entrepreneur (or enterprise). The factors are also frequently labeled "producer goods or services" to distinguish them from the goods or services purchased by consumers, which are frequently labeled "consumer goods". ========

“Simpsons Did it” except it’s The Office?
Partial Wikipedia plot synopsis for the The Office (US) episode “Chair Model.” ======= While browsing an office-chair catalog, Michael Scott, who has broken up with Jan Levinson, becomes enamored of one of the female chair models. As a result, he decides to resume dating, going so far as threatening to fire the office employees if they do not help. No one in the office wants to set up any of their friends with Michael, but when Michael learns that the chair model died in a car crash some time ago, Pam Beesly takes pity and sets him up on a blind date with her landlady. The date does not go well, beginning with Michael pretending he is not who she was supposed to be meeting. After Michael admits his own blind date was a failure, Dwight Schrute convinces him that he needs closure on this person he loved who is gone. Dwight and Michael visit the grave of the chair model, where Michael "grieves". They both sing "American Pie" by Don McLean and dance on her grave. =======

Big Tech is doing everything it can to erase these incredible achievements in human technology.

They took this away from us, hoping we’d forget…

Miller has all the “hardcore” energy of this painting I stumbled across in a hotel lobby in Kalamazoo, MI a couple of years ago.
A painting I came across in a hotel lounge 2 years ago. It is a framed painting of flowers. The frame is gold, and the image is probably a screen-printing that is intended to look like an oil painting. Superimposed on the flowers, in plain white text: “A Little Hardcore Is Good.”

Every Big Shot Hollywood Studio Exec at hearing the sad news…
Scene from I Think You Should Leave: Shane, a man with slicked back hair, remembers a time of his life when he “used to be a piece of shit.” He recalls going to steakhouse called Truffoni’s, and making “sloppy steaks” with his friends in his “Dangerous Nights Crew” (who are understood to also be pieces of shit) by pouring water over their steaks. The server and the other staff at Truffoni’s hate this.

Yeah, that’s the playbook. Walsh should know because he was running it to get Trump elected the first time.
Frustratingly useless pundit, media guy, and former elected official Joe Walsh on Bluesky: “So...let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?” Posted September 29, 2025 at 6:21 PM
