We're never going to know whether Epstein signed up for the Jackie the Joke Man mailing list, or if this was a CAN-SPAM violation.
Screenshot of an email labeled “HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023550.” The email, dated May 9, 2015, is from “JokeLand” and contains several crude jokes, including a story about a man and a sex worker in Atlantic City, a joke about sumo wrestlers shaving their legs, and a promotional note from someone named Jackie about classic comedy stories and the JokeLand email list. The message ends with a list of comedians and thanks to various people for helping spread the word.

not to brag, I drove a Honda Fit Sport Hatchback for ten years and I'm still married.

I loved "the shape of it, the body of it, the manufacturing technique with the body panels and everything. I just love that it's completely outside of the box." Also the gas mileage was great

“What’s the deal with MREs? Am I supposed to eat this or use it to defend myself from the radical left?”
A man in a gray blazer, black shirt, and patterned tie stands on stage in front of a microphone with his hands on his hips, speaking with a red curtain backdrop behind him.

toby knows about the wild effect on women
In a still from the tv show The Office: a man in a beige trench coat and glasses leans toward a woman with his head tilted, smiling broadly. The woman, with shoulder-length auburn hair, has her back to the camera. White subtitle text at the bottom reads, “SMILE IF YOU LOVE MEN'S PROSTATES.”

ironically if you prefer gray uniforms, you might want to check out the Jets version!
Three New York Jets football players pose in dark green uniforms against a gray backdrop with the words 'City' partially visible. One player, number 44 (Sherwood), stands flexing his arms with his back to the camera. Another player, number 20, stands facing forward holding a football. A third player, number 7, sits in front looking down with one arm resting on his knee.

Adonis is adorable. Karen (yes her name is Karen) also loves her fishy. She likes to leave it for me to step on.

I would love to know the reason why the NJ Transit printed train schedule formats time differently than.... the widely accepted standards. 7.24, 7.30, 7.37 instead of 7:24, 7:30, and 7:37. The format makes the schedule harder to read for no discernible reason.
Screenshot of a train schedule from the NJ Transit website. Schedule shows a list of stations followed by the times that the train will arrive. Times are listed with a dot in place of colon separator. Schedule shows 7.30, 7.37 instead of 7:30, 7:37.

I grew up thinking cats loved to drink milk from plates as shown in the cartoons. I did not know adult cats are lactose intolerant. At 30, I got my first cat and learned they prefer to eat thin sliced Boars Head domestic ham.

if the yankees really believed in analytics, they'd go with a radical platoon where volpe plays april/may before hibernating like a bear most of the summer. He can provide some relief in August, giving the other guy a couple days off. (this is a joke unless Cashman wants to hire me as a consultant)

A few minutes before the news of Hulk's passing, I commented on this Reddit post about a Hulk Hogan themed bar next to MSG. RIP Hulk!
Screenshot of a Reddit post with title: Hulk Hogan-themed bar in Midtown says: Don’t move the Garden, brother! User comment reads: MSG is an iconic venue and key part of WWE history, but I do not understand why a Hulk themed bar makes business sense in 2025 NYC? Rosen said the location was too iconic to pass up, and that powerful connections could help if plans to relocate the Garden gain traction. According to Rosen, Trump always takes Hogan’s calls, which “could be helpful.” Oh now I get it. More grifters. If they could not negotiate a deal with Hulk, they would have moved on to Seb Gorka. EDIT [18 minutes later]: oh shit RIP HULK

I wonder if there is a relation between why people reject science and how content optimized for engagement makes cancer research sound like a mixtape
A mobile push notification from Business Insider reads: "Two major cancer treatment breakthroughs just dropped, and doctors are buzzing." The notification was received 3 minutes ago.
