I just misread "deification" as "defecation." Either way, "holy shit!" is applicable.

The fact congressional Democrats have not hired three dozen D&D rules lawyers with oppositional defiant disorder and turned them loose on parliamentary procedure with the goal of maximum obstruction is such a fucking missed opportunity
I’m bringing this up because this is a simple procedural way to fuck with republicans even if they’re in the majority. Call them out of order, rise to a point of personal privilege, use the very procedural rules that organize their meetings to strangle them. It fucking works.

The existence of an active shooter implies the existence of an inactive shooter, and I feel like the latter would be much easier to hide from.

This post brought to you by active shooter training at my job tomorrow.

If the US government doesn’t have to pay debts it had already contractually agreed to pay then why do I have to pay back student loans to the US government

Dear manager:
1. I’d run right into hell and back
2. I’d never lie to you and that’s a fact
3. I’ll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no. No way
4. I would do anything for love
5. But I won’t do that.
Dear manager:
1. I drank the whiskey drink
2. Vodka drink
3. Cider drink
4. Lager drink
5. Sang songs to remind us of the good times.*

*see also songs to remind us of thr better times
Dear manager:

1. Friday night I crashed your party
2. Saturday I said, "I'm sorry"
3. Sunday came and trashed me out again
4. I was only having fun, wasn't hurting anyone
5. And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I don’t care who you are or what “side” you’re on…if you use mental illness as an insult to try and undermine or discredit someone you disagree with a la “your specific brand of liberalism is a mental illness,” you’re a garbage person and have no high ground on anything.

Am I the only one who has terrible conversational timing? I either wait and wait and wait trying to find the right moment to talk or I get excited and talk right over people. There is no in between.

Thinking about how the blood of Christ is wine but kids drink grape juice and the body is crackers but they can't all be the same kind of crackers in every church so does it really matter what they use like could they use Pop Tarts and Surge and I don't think I understand religion.

I’m at the age where I see a meme with really small print and scroll past it even if I think I’ll like it because I’ll be damned if I’m putting on readers to find out wtf Bert is saying to Ernie that’s so fucking funny.

We just moved and the TV isn’t up yet, so The Spouse and I are independently doomscrolling in complete silence while the dog gently snores in the background.

No I don’t use AI. If I wanted a droning defecation using limited diction full of half truths I would just ask a mediocre man.

I don't think anyone is demanding that every person needs stacks of film, VHS, DVDs and Blurays but the fact is, owning physical media is the only way to guarantee access to what you wish to see in the future. We are seeing streaming getting yanked on a whim and it's only going to get worse.

By forcing us to take a lunch, we are essentially being forced to work 9-hour days with one unpaid hour.
Everytime I hear "9 to 5" or a similar reference in old songs, shows, and films. I'm reminded that many of us have been 8:30-5 or 8 to 5 since Reagan and lunch hasn't been paid time ever.
