Not to brag but my girlfriend and I are adorable (actually yes to brag)

What is she in for?

Costco is completely out of diet coke. I know it may seem unfair to complain when things are going SO WELL otherwise but this kind of thing never happened under Obama.

Biz trip accessory shots let's set the tone for this meeting

Fragile masculinity is when you are threatened by the existence of the soap dish

Chris Pratt = The Fountainhead "I know, I know, a lot of people drag this book but hear me out: Ayn Rand makes some good points."
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Tom Hardy = Snow Crash. He only offers a book rec because you asked. He does not elaborate further. You definitely go home with him.
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Russell Brand = Stranger in a Strange Land; "Heinlein was really ahead of his time. They market this as sci fi but trust me when you read it you'll see it's more philosophy than anything. You're open-minded, right?"
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Jonah Hill = Dresden Files; He makes sure to tell you he knows it's dumb but it's just really fun, you know? Just like a really dumb, fun read. When you suggest he might like Twilight because that's also dumb and fun, he looks at you like you insulted his mom.
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Oscar Isaac = Fear of Flying; he offers to lend you his copy; it is a well-worn mass-market paperback edition printed in the eighties that smells faintly of cigar smoke
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Jake Gyllenhaal = Watchmen; "This was before your time but that's no reason to miss a classic"; spends the next hour talking about the cultural significance of Watchmen and its enduring effect on the medium. Doesn't pause long enough for you to say you read Watchmen when you were fifteen.
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Ashton Kutcher = Enders Game; "I read this at a pretty young age and identified with Ender so much, you know? Hey, did you know this is required reading for US Marine Corps officers?"
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Timothee Chalamet = A Hero of Our Time; "I love a good antihero" This guy really wants you to know he is more than just a pretty face.
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Kanye West = Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius; "This author had the confidence when it counted" I think Kanye might have an album called this actually. He definitely is not interested in your opinion about the book after you read it.
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
James Franco = Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me; describes it as a modern epic poem in prose form. "It captures an entire moment in your life; you're gonna have flashbacks to your college days"
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
Michael B Jordan = Norwegian Wood; He has a manga in mind he thinks you'd really like but he's waiting till at least the second date to go full nerd.
August 25, 2025 at 4:08 PM
A list of dudes and the book they recommend to you on the fist date

Mark Ruffalo = An Inconvenient Sequel; Asks if you've already read it instead of assuming you haven't; the conversation stays on the topic of climate change for a long time; he is charmingly passionate.

After a team meeting I was telling my colleagues about a breakup in the friend group and I didn't know the meeting was still recording and, chat, the AI summary of the breakup has SENT ME

Every time someone follows me on here it's because they mistook me for a Rachel Maddow-related account
