"If she doesn't find you handsome, she should at least find you handy," as Red Green would say. Which encompasses both humor and confidence since it's inherently self-depricating.
first of all, it's not "shrekking," it's "roger rabbiting," and second of all, jessica rabbit legitimately saw roger rabbit as hot and if you don't understand that, you shouldn't be writing about any of this

For roughly twice the price, more after import, we get 90% the same kit as the last MGEX, just with a different backpack that I can also get from AliExpress for like $20. I've been doing gunpla for less than 2 years and I already understand the "Bandai is fucking us" complaints.
Wow the new MGEX is MIGHTY STRIKE FREEDOM Fuck you Bandai
In talking with his cousin, we thought Jr was crashing with friends. We texted him to let him know we found some things he needs (insurance paperwork, etc). Turns out he's been sleeping in his truck since Wednesday. It hurts so damn bad but we can't have his behavior here anymore. :(
My 14yo is watching the Bee Movie. "He's a very nice bee but why are you going cross species"
Sitting in your kids room having a breakdown as you pack up his stuff and grieve over what could have been vs how things ended up is a helluva way to spend a saturday.
And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.
BREAKING: In unusual 9PM Friday Federal Register filing, Postal Service finalizes regulation to deny delivery of mail-in ballots not matching addresses in database BUT says won't implement 'til court orders are lifted. #SCOTUS still quiet. Doc: public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-17238.pdf
It's only 4 pages, go read it. It's delicious in it's precision, and as a lapsed Catholic I didn't think "Sincerely yours in Christ" could sound like "Fuck you" but in this case...
Your typcal demand letter is agressively dismissive, but I'd describe this one more as "serenely implacable." It's a fascinating rhetorical study. flaccb.org/documents/20... (Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops, to Florida AG Uthmeyer, re: Catholic-school vaccination requirements.)
Please please please have this conversation with your parents. My Mom and her eldest younger sister took care of Oma for two years as she declined. It's been almost two years since she passed and they're still dealing with finances. She stayed in her house b/c the 5 year lookback.
While I’m issuing dire warnings, if your parents are still reasonably healthy, get them to sign powers of attorney while they are still physically mobile and legally competent because you do not want to deal with the hell I’m dealing with right now
The only thing that makes you age faster than smoking is hatred and evil. I also feel instantly better about myself since I'm older (barely) than all these assholes.

THREAD: A couple of thoughts on Natalie Harp. First, I'm so glad that people on our side are concerned about her and her mental health. It's because we have hearts and empathy and we aren't sociopaths. We're good people, and I love that about us. But I think we are also right to be angry. 1/
Schoolyear->Summer transition is always hard b/c my inputs and workload spike 2-3x with both kids home 24/7. Summer->Schoolyear transition is, perversely, worse. Nonwork drops nominally to zero, and I'm suddenly adrift in a sea of "what the fuck do I do with myself."
Also, thanks to @hammancheez.bsky.social (and @kevinmkruse.bsky.social) for the post that got me going on Discord before I realized: "wait, this is a piece."
Natalie Harp Should Concern Everyone—I Should Know, I Once Had Her Job
When I ran President Obama’s socials, I treated that work as needing checks and restraint at every point of the process. Its absence in the Trump White House is scary.

Imagine having trumps social media passwords as the not president Seriously Contemplate how this person could casually start a war or insert loaded text for specific people in industry or other nations Harp is a walking national security atomic bomb
Today, August 20th, 2026, is the 20-year anniversary of me working at CollegeHumor / Dropout. At 42, that's nearly half my life.
Bessent downplays the national debt: "There's nothing magic about the $40 trillion number. We can grow our way out of that."
Ossoff: It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults, public officials paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust.
Data center? No, Picard sat in the center. Data was down in front and off to the left.
Jr came by to get his meds, clothes, and toiletries. We already had all his clothes in lawn/leaf bags to show when we said 'this is your last chance' back in mid July, we meant it. He got a 2nd job yesterday, and his cousin had texted if that was enough for him to come home.
I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

Hand cut and rib rubbed some 3/4" chops not thinking that 14yo has band from 6-9 and the wife is primary oncall. They're missing out, this is delicious.
