Sean: "This is the new Wagonqueen Family Truckster. This is a damn fine automobile, if you want my honest opinion. Beats the hell out of the Sportswagon."

Settling into the renovated Small Animal Kingdom's Rainforest Building, Ozzy likes to nimbly climb and flip around his habitat’s canopy.

Cigarettes used to be cheap enough that you could give a whole pack out to each trick or treater instead of just one or two loosies. Failed fucking empire

I’m generally pretty cautious, but if I’m skiing and catch someone saying “hey meta what’s my elevation” to their oakleys, I’m gonna crash into them just because it’s the right thing to do

First play: fumble. Second play: complete pass for -1 yard. Amazing.
Already worth it

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

We gotta get Sisyphus out of the lineup
App State had a ball bounce off their receiver's hands at the 1-yard line and returned for a 99-yard pick-6, got the ball back, spent 13 plays methodically moving the ball downfield, and threw another pick at the goal line

I still ponder these words often. I remember thinking the Hunter S. Thompson of the Page 2 era had lost his fastball, so to speak. But on occasion he could still reach back and hit 99 on the gun -- like he did here.

/7 SCOTUS, the Federalist Society, the entire academic and intellectual infrastructure that brought us here: they're nothing but pretentious Trumpers. At least the guy in the MAGA hat and "fuck your feelings" t-shirt is honest about who he is. These people are not.

What Tom doesn't realize, or want to admit, is that Bork is/was a very obvious symptom of the absolute psychosis (and utter disrespect for the Rule of Law) that grips the entire conservative movement. The result of Bork's SCOTUS nomination didn't cause shit except to create a convenient narrative.
Do you really freakin' believe that Robert Bork caused that absolute psychosis that grips the entire conservative movement? And if one assumes that, why hasn't the same thing happened to Dems given what conservatism has become?

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

This is my advice to recent HS graduates: Learn to make one or two dishes really well. Then invite a date over to dinner instead out to dinner. You'll impress your date, it's deeply satisfying to feed someone you care about, and you're only steps away from "Netflix and Chill" when the meal is over.
one trick to enjoying cooking is to first learn how to make just one dish really well tbh it can be as simple as u like but the confidence u can gain will inspire u
