Hey Polestar...please make this happen. I'm desperate for an affordable EV coupe. There are 0!

Why would the serving size be 2/3 of a pickle?

What was happening in the meeting where that was decided?

Who in the history of the world has ever eaten 2/3 of the pickle...especially because it's 0 calories!

I have so many questions for Vlasic...

Coke Freestyle machines may be the least reliable things that I have ever seen. 80% of the time, no matter where I go, something is wrong with them. Out of flavors, out of carbonation, improper mix of both if you can get something.

Ours at work hasn't worked properly in a year. Absolute disasters.

It's effing April...I hate this timeline so much!

You'd be hard pressed to convince me that this isn't just blatant, illegal, market manipulation to benefit the rich...

US healthcare is hopelessly broken...I ran to urgent care a few weeks back after travelling since I wasn't feeling well. Bunch of colleagues had Flu A, so wanted to see what was wrong. Quick 15 min trip, Covid, Strep, Flu test...just under $300 out of pocket. Just stupid...this is why I don't go.

Interesting read and I don't disagree with much of it. I too would love to sell my Tesla M3 on moral grounds, but it's somehow only worth $16k with just 31k miles on it. It's lost more that 2/3 of it's value. Most people can't take that kind of hit...

I would love get into the head of these psychopaths that put their blinker on AS they turn, instead of before.

I KNOW that you're turning right now, I can see it...the entire point is to let me know AHEAD of time!

Dear Bob Iger:

Please give me control of the Star Wars franchise.

My concept is to just remake old war and samurai movies, but Star Wars.

The Dirty Dozen but Star Wars.

The Great Escape but Star Wars.

Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman but Star Wars.

This all feels like that scene in Revenge of the Sith where the Palpatine gets emergency powers, and everyone cheers meanwhile Padmé is standing there all dumbfounded like how can anyone NOT see what the fuck is going on.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

Regarding #StarWars #SkeletonCrew - I haven't finished it yet, on episode 6, but I'm curious...did they just say make me Goonies in space? #StarGoonies?

How is littering still a thing in 2025? WTF is wrong with people?

(Explanation: I saw someone on my drive home picking up tons of garbage on the road and became enraged at anyone that's a big enough scum bag to litter)

I'm still sick over last nights loss...that is about the worst way to go out.

These ESPN Tap In commercials during the basketball games need to chill. They are on every break and play 3-4 times in a row during the UNC game. WTH?

Well...it's great to see that nothing has changed,
Nike - The #SNKRS experience is still absolutely horrendous! No button to order the #AirJordan11 #LegendBlue this morning, reboot my phone, then it's there, but then network errors ordering. So there's another L!

Really pisses me off when, even with dark mode set, most web pages blast multiple refreshes of bright white screens before settling on a darker background.

Makes me bringing something up while on a Teams meeting look like I'm at a rave.
