Watching Airheads and thinking about the time from like 1993 to 1995 when Dr. Seuss hats were popular.

These fuckers are going to kick 40 million people off their health insurance policies, send them a check for $3000 and call it a day.
I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

I’m really enjoying The Chair Company because it’s like Blue Velvet with characters from I Think You Should Leave.

We need to invent a new, meaner word for stupid to describe this guy.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

This AT&T ad ran before Predator: Badlands last night and I don’t understand why Luke Wilson is speaking with a fake western accent. Is he playing a character? Am I not supposed to remember who Luke Wilson is? youtu.be/e7QGtNMJcOw?...

I hate this trend so much. I made a pot of chili last week with two big jalepeños and there was no heat at all.
Six months later story about this showed up in my feed from an aggregator site, so I'm sharing original. We had some in migas yesterday that had no heat whatsoever. www.dmagazine.com/food-drink/2...
Here’s Why Jalapeño Peppers Are Less Spicy Than Ever
Throw out those bogus shopping tips about pepper size. Decades of deliberate planning created a less-hot jalapeño.

An actual opposition party would agree to reopen the government as a trick to get all the Republicans back into one room for a Red Wedding situation.

It would be easier to accept this explanation if Democrats hadn’t been caving to Republicans my entire adult life. Like, the GOP killing ACA subsidies wouldn’t be as catastrophically bad if Dems hadn’t caved to them and removed the public option from the ACA in 2009.
Schumer and his friends want Trump to have power because they hate you. They are furious Mamdani won in a landslide and are afraid of repeats all over the country. Their solution is open capitulation to the far right.

Review: There are corn kernels of a cool Predator movie embedded in a Disneyfied turd.
Every trailer that got released made me less excited about it but I’m a Predator mark so I just sat down to watch it in IMAX.

I try not to be a “Well actually” guy but people keep reposting this into my timeline. There were never Congressional hearings about back masking. OP is confusing a handful of lawsuits filed by parents against Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne with the PMRC hearings which were about naught language.
40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I paid $16 for 2 pouches of Uncle Ben's ready rice and a 16oz can of Sapporo at one of this slob's grocery stores the other day so I'd be perfectly fine if he leaves and takes his shitty businesses with him.
Big Apple billionaire John Catsimatidis planned to move his business to New Jersey if Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor. Now he’s reconsidering.

Man, come the fuck on. It's insane that it's legal to snatch up tickets as soon as they go on sale and immediately put them on StubHub for 4-5x the face value.

🚨NOVA TWINS TINY DESK ALERT🚨
Every time I see a band with pedal boards the size of command centers, they're deeply serious (and boring).
This is not that.
