I think the reason I am so upset all of the time is the fact that the worst people continue to have the best time and the most breaks and the easiest time while the hardest workers and nicest and people get pushed down and down and down.

Y’know, there’s something morbidly poetic about the Timbers both starting and ending their 2025 season by conceding four goals and getting a defender sent off. Really bookends the whole thing. #RCTID

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

Overheard at the Cat's Paw just now:

"I commissioned an oil painting of myself after my last breakup. The artist is internationally known and has murals in lax. It focused on my sovereignty and independence."

...I fear and respect this woman but also what on earth are you doin here, lady?

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job”

First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.

Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work.

Third, no one should starve to death.

The Timbers are pretty firmly in the Bad Place.

They’ve settled into a consistent pattern of mediocrity—each of the last four seasons they’ve finished with 43-47 points—in which they’re not competitive for anything but there’s little pressure on the front office to make meaningful changes. #RCTID

Talking to a non-soccer friend:

Me: Yeah, we went to the match last night. It was another draw.

Her: Wow! Last time I talked to you the Timbers had a draw. I didn't know those were so common!

Me: ...yea...

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Y'know what? I just don't think I should have to cry and plead and beg for the insurance that I pay for to cover my asthma medication literally every single time I need to refill it. I don't think that is such a high demand.

I don't know which is harder/more complicated: trying to get an appointment with a psychiatrist or registering my car with the state of Oregon. I'm really not sure which process is more cumbersome at this point.
