People who say "I believe the United States is the greatest country on earth" and have never been to any other country outside of North America are hilarious and rampant. Like believing one true God without have read or attended any other religion their whole lives. Truly puerile behavior.

It must be reiterated for those who weren't there, Blockbuster was most assuredly the worst video store experience in your town during all the rental years. Every other choice was better. Your local library today absolutely mops the floor with Blockbuster's selection.

The BBB is poverty entrenched on policy level. It's a clear and decisive action to further empoverish Americans by design.

I hope it forever eats away at J.K. Rowling that Harry's owl shares a name with an iconic LGBTQ character.

DJT's frequent capitalization of common nouns reads to me as especially Germanic. I don't even mean that as a conspiratorial implication, I've just always been curious why. Did his family carry that over to English or is it an idiosyncratic boomerism?

To paraphrase a recent Office Hours, do you think it's exhausting being a MAGA member, having to drink whatever new cup of shit Trump places in front of them every single morning?

Jeff Bezos, or any single one of the billionaire oligarch ghouls, could literally just STFU, do biz as usual & come out looking better than their colleagues. But none of these leeches can resist outdoing each other at making the most villainous moves.

A streaming TV station finally programmed 'How It's Made' 24/7 and my downtime is immediately made better. Objectively one of the best shows ever made. Crazy what watching simple, mechanized creation set to goofy music can do to relieve anxiety.

Mildly infuriating watching South Korea take swift steps to remove & indict its dangerous leader, reclaiming their national sanity. Meanwhile we're all forced to learn the term “unconditional discharge.”

Winter has made me so staticky that I just shocked a banana. Didn't know that was possible! Don't expect a Peter Gabriel song on that.

if you do not enthusiastically shout "SHUT DA FUCK UP" at your television every time you mute an ad you have lost a piece of yourself that must be reclaimed
One time someone on twitter made fun of me for hating ads, specifically that I hate that my television displays ads to me before I even select a service I want to use. Like, genuinely, we need to show young people the old ways of being a pretentious snob.

The Department of Goverment Efficiency was always an asinine, wasteful, unnecessary concept. The department doing that actual work is the Goverment Accountability Office & was est. in 1921. This is a little brother's unplugged controller so that Player 1 can keep duping him for his quarters.
