They should rearrange the canon to make Mary Magdalene one of the main apostles and relegate Paul to the status of "some guy who was low key obsessed with Jesus." Paul sucks
I simply do not understand why we cannot politely ask the San Andreas Fault to release what would have been The Big One as a series of frequent 4.5s. Like the Hobbit movies
I will simply not do 34 felonies
AND YOGURT GUY SAID LET THERE BE BEER
AND THERE WAS BEER
Fuck yes. This is huge. Anchor Brewing has been saved by the Chobani guy. He's gonna keep the legendary brewing facility in place, too.
He recently bought La Colombe (my very favorite coffee, Philly hell yeah) and has done an excellent job so far.
Someday I will be brave enough to do "Don't Stop Me Now" at karaoke. Also, someday somebody will invite me to karaoke
without saying we are the champions, fav queen song?
people cheering the Trump conviction aren't signing up for LuLaRoe and becoming their own boss
Hi, I'm a composer! My greatest hits include:
"Yes, we still exist."
"No, not really like Phantom of the Opera."
"No, I'm not the person who waves a baton at an orchestra."
"No, John Williams is not going to call me to work for him."
"Yes, I also have a day job."
Hi, I'm a fantasy illustrator! My greatest hits include:
'Yes, I'm familiar(and a fan!) of Moebius's work,'
'No, my mages are not like Harry Potter wizards,' and
'No, you can not pay me in crypto'
Can I split the difference and hope he dies on a prison toilet before we abolish prisons?
I am looking forward to him being incredibly funny about this in that classic "old man from the East Coast" way
Prediction: the Biden White House's official statement will be very serious in tone and end with a voting call-to-action. No more than 72 hours later, the press will have a video clip of Biden eating an ice cream cone and saying, "Well, he shouldn't have done that shit."
White suburban women are kind of one of the biggest swing voting blocs, and whenever they choose "lmao cheeto man bad" over "the dems are turning the kids, you know... (whispers) *gay*..." I'll absolutely take it.
I texted my mom as soon as I heard and she immediately sent back a selfie with her and my dad-- they already had beers
I think a LOT about how my Polish great-great-grandparents weren't really white when they came here. Even now you can still see whiteness trying to expand as it loses ground, if you look hard enough (San Francisco's segregationists are happy to include Chinese-Americans, for instance).
Shoutout to the helpful but slightly confused SFPL media librarian who earnestly suggested that I show Friday's high school film studies class Rocky Horror Picture Show. I'm sure the performing arts high school kids would love it, but that's probably the funniest way to get fired
I hate the pit, I'm sorry. If it doesn't get you out of the pit at least most days you might need different and/or additional pillageq
I don't "pull 10s" I pull 10-minute song cycles out of thin air with alarming speed on a schedule known only to god
i donโt โpull 10sโ i pull random muscles in my back from sitting wrong because getting older is miserable sometimes
When I first went on it I kinda felt like my brain's center of gravity was different for a few days. I definitely can't always control that the thing I'm doing is PRODUCTIVE but for me it largely lessens that awful "I should do something but I'm stuck in a pit and doing things is illegal" phase
Man, I'm thirsty, can't wait to kick back with a delicious round of (checks notes) autocorrect that lies to you
had enough of tech dorks who think their social misfitness will be solved if they simply get the right upgrade chip & convince everyone else to install it too
The Democrats in Congress clearly had such a good time with that Speaker of the House vote spectacle! I'm sure they would love another good spectacle if they could screw their heads on straight about it! Maybe with a fun hat or something
A classic Chicago-style Sentenceโข (note the lack of ketchup)
A Chicago man who sued dozens of women who allegedly bad-mouthed him on a Facebook dating page has been sentenced to a year in federal prison for his role in tax fraud involving mob-connected sweepstakes gaming machines
Chicago-area man who sued women for bad-mouthing him on Facebook sentenced to 1 year in prison for tax fraud
A Chicago-area man who made a national media splash when he filed a lawsuit against dozens of women who allegedly bad-mouthed him on a tell-all Facebook dating page was sentenced Wednesday to a yeaโฆ

CAUGHT ONEEEEEEEE
Now I just gotta pray or beg that they don't clock me in late and therefore cut it to half day pay instead of full day. If I'd known an hour earlier I'd have shown up an hour earlier ๐ญ
Were there any younger millennials in this study? Like, at all? Because I have very vivid memories of the Great Recession years that are around that high point in this graph, and lemme tell you, I would not rank a single one of those highly
The super frustrating thing is that this website worked FINE four months ago. I was usually able to line up a week's worth of perfectly lovely jobs at a time while just clicking around during my lunch break. It's started to slowly degrade and, with it, my sanity
button-mashed until it said "job no longer available" you have got to be fucking kidding me at this point
Same thing today. Back in the roulette. I am STARING at a choir job and they're like "sowwy we're calling someone, you're a second tier employee because you don't consent to two dozen robocalls at 5:30 am"
Once again I am EXTREMELY upset that I have been refreshing the sub job system since 7 pm last night (brief break 3-7 am to sleep, God forgive me) and have not seen a single job worth working. Somebody's damn flight has GOT to be delayed! Let me innnnnnnnnnnn
This but only if the stigma against not having a driver's license/having a State ID card instead is removed. I straight up should not still be licensed to drive a vehicle because I have not done so since 2017 but I do still need the little plastic thing that lets me get on planes and buy whiskey
me sitting on top of my comforter falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole
hate to break it to yโall but i make my bed EVERY morning and my life couldnโt be less productive
Would love to see any funny Huawei swag you come across
"Thank you so much for coming in," half a dozen school secretaries say to me every time they see me. "We always need good subs. We love having you." Okay so the jobs are where??? There should be a special list for if you're cool. I'm so sick of this secret unpaid bonus job that is making me insane
Literally my only standards. I am, at this point, being openly mocked
Oh neat I spoke too soon, they're offering me severe special ed (wildly unqualified) and P.E. (too much residual trauma, not enough Xanax on God's green earth)

God, I went to Calle Ocho with my family in the spring and I'm still thinking about the media noches and the mojitos with the sugar cane sticking out...
stomach: EMERGENCY EMERGENCY
brain: what's up?
stomach: WE'RE OUT OF THAT ONE FOOD/BEVERAGE. IT'S ALL WE NEED. WE ARE DYING
brain: whoa, okay, I'll stock up next time! Look, I found a coupon, we've got plenty!
stomach: HM. THAT ONE IS ILLEGAL, ACTUALLY. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU HAVE LIKE FOUR SLICES OF
This still pulls up Answers in Genesis as the sixth result
AI is the most obvious example of the enshittification of Google results, but I also feel like Answers in Genesis should NOT be on the first page of search results for natural history questions and yet here we are
I am thinking about it now, though, which is sparking joy, so thank you
Y'know what, I've got another week, I can make a Safeway run next weekend. I still gotta make the list.
