STL. bikes, backyard chickens and frontyard skeletons.
if you see a midwesterner today, be kind. they are waging a mental war against turning on the thermostat in their home and they can’t hold out ope any longer

Guy: How many puppies does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Do you know yet?

Me (in a sea of puppies): No, they haven't done it. Bring more

From earlier tonight: the most #stl picture of the Blues game on at Busch Stadium

Truly a wild game to see live
We should’ve had 1, we should’ve taken all 3 and now we’re upset at a draw.

Ben Lundt’s incredible PK save + @stlcitysc.com w/few but quality work in the box has LAFC celebrating a draw in their own stadium. This one will still be frustrating for CITY despite 2 goals. #AllForCITY

YALL IT FINALLY HAPPENED! I’m on tv, yelling at a soccer game.

I had to put down my tacos when it happened

Quiet-preferred Lyfts are great until you shatter the silence with a particularly satisfying ankle pop that causes the driver to whip around, believing you have in some way damaged his car

one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult
"The vaccination has stuff we don't trust," said the father of the 6-year-old girl who died from measles at the end of last month. Tom Bartlett visited with a family confronting an unthinkable tragedy:

The closed captions stalled out on cinematography so for a while it just said “THE OSCAR GOES TO THE BRUTALIST, LOL”

I tried to prepare the group for how much Kieran Culkin was going to Wife Guy out onstage and he exceeded even my expectations. Good for him

I get that everything is terrible. But Teams automatically putting video chat windows in both screens might be the thing that finally drives me to an early grave

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Made some calls to my reps today, noticed that I haven't updated my phone contacts. The misery of living in Missouri is perfectly encapsulated by dialing Rep. Wesley Bell's office and having Cori Bush's name pop up, and then dialing Hawley to be reminded that was Claire McCaskill's seat

Sometimes I feel like I'm not doing a very good job of filtering out the news for most of my day, then I accidentally open the Microsoft Edge browser on my work computer and get a jump scare from the homepage of headlines alongside the president's face

The important difference between a committed nazi and someone who just likes to troll people by acting like a Nazi is that there is none.
This is my theory of what happened: Elon is an overgrown adolescent who thinks Nazi trolling is just hilarious www.vox.com/politics/396...
