Lots of things are expensive now. Everything. Some things are nevertheless surprisingly expensive. What's the deal with broccoli? Really expensive. And poor quality, at least around here. Was there a crop failure? We're a little out of season for the US crop but I don't remember it like this

People are like “fruit and vegetables are so tasteless now.” Did you ever eat a 1980s tomato?

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Wikipedia: ❝The porch goose is a lawn ornament popular in the United States. They reached the peak of their popularity in the 1980s, but are still common in the Midwest.❞ I have questions: “it is?”, “they did?”, and “they are?” I’ve never seen these before. I grew up in the Midwest in the 1980s.

I like how all the humanities types are like “maybe people will read some Homer now” and I have some news Nobody is going to do that

You’re just mad because there’s no clock in your hat

I have been feeling bad lately that I haven’t seen an individual of my favorite spider species in a couple of years. It’s the Argiope Aurantia, the yellow and black garden spider. Well, I’ve seen one. A small one, on her web, in a big empty green plastic livestock bucket we use as a planter.

In the last few days, someone has been flying a Cessna Skymaster into, out of, and around our wee airport Unusual airplane around here. Unusual generally It’s not this plane, but you can see what they look like.

“Smeg” may be a quality Italian kitchen appliance brand but I just can’t

New jersey. No, the shirt, not the state

I’m a time traveler from the not-too-distant past

I remember many things that used to be everywhere and now no longer exist, which makes me feel more and more like a ghost

The democrats here put up a sacrificial congressional candidate (the republican is guaranteed to win) who is running on the “Trump betrayed us” platform - stuff is still too expensive, and Trump didn’t drain the swamp. What’s the point? Neither republicans nor democrats will vote for that shit

“cripes”

Is it just me or is generative AI troubling in certain ways

Are you a Wall Street trader, upset because Dear Leader’s momentary whims can move the markets from under you? Good news! Now you can pay Dear Leader’s Truth Social to get first access to his unpredictable lunacy, with everyone else on a delay! Sure, all of this is illegal, but nobody seems to care!

Still, I’m following barely anyone on here Because nobody follows back Not everyone must, but if nobody does, what are we doing We’re just chipping in under the thoughts of more famous, more interesting people, high-fiving each other, and hoping for a nod from our better It’s like feudalism

When Trump finally dies, his remains should be placed in an ornate marble sarcophagus, which should be cemented to the bottom of New York’s largest sewer. So that he will be bathed in a great foaming cataract of New Yorkers’ piss and shit for all eternity

Meanwhile trump’s storm troops are murdering people in Memphis

You're walking through the desert when you find Mitch McConnell lying on his back, unable to turn over. You're not helping him. Why is that?

Nobody ever benefits from a favor from trump. You think you did, and then a day later you realize there’s nothing inside your skin but parasitic larvae and pus #USABEL #WorldCup #WorldCup2026
