Burritos are too expensive not because priced have outpaced earnings, but because we killed home ec class and people are buying too many burritos. If we'd eaten out as much as seems normal now in 1995 we'd be complaining that taco bell had raised the price for a 7 layer burrito.
@mikeblack114.bsky.social hope you don’t mind the @. I’m curious with all the talk about stockpiles. When would you want to use a JASSM vs ATACM vs Tomahawk, and do reserves of any of these impact our defensive capabilities more than another?

Good Morning! #OnThisDay Aug 4 1937: Chicago Milwaukee St Paul & Pacific Train No. 100 "Hiawatha" departs the Milwaukee Road Depot in downtown Minneapolis, heading for Chicago. At top speeds of over 100mph, these were the fastest scheduled trains in the world.
The Black Parade continues to be one of the tightest punk/pop albums of all time. Impeccable flow. #MillenialOpinions
Even if it’s still terrifying, if the hegemon can’t be negotiated with and will attack you anyway, you might as well tell them to fuck off
You know why nobody can seem to find evidence of Bigfoot anymore? It's because they've been raptured. That's right, it turns out that Bigfoot was the only true Christian.
“You don’t have to refrigerate that” Ok maybe not but the refrigerator is where the food lives, he is happier with his friends in there
My daughter said Worf's formal sash makes him look like he's the birthday girl and she insisted I make this image.
i've run into a similar thing where some people seem to approach movies and books as mysteries that need to be solved rather than experiences to be enjoyed it's an amusement ride not a quiz fuckin relax
[Eating a burrito thats frankly too big)] I will NEVER back down from our PROUD AMERICAN VALUES
If you’re a Gondorian soldier your experience with hobbits is a tiny guy shows up with a wizard and is immediately taken in the Steward’s counsel. He saves Faramir when the Steward goes mad. A second tiny guy arrives with the Rohirrim and kills the Witch King. The first one then goes on campaign …
for the next couple decades it becomes fashionable in Gondor to be short and maybe a little doughy around the middle upper middle class buying false bellies to wear under their tunics, etc.
"oh I follow everyone" stop "I don't see it" yeah you do, stop "sometimes they're interesting" so are other people, stop
Politics aside, do people believe federal government gas stations with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/b...

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”
Emily Wilson DESTROYS Zoomer culture with one cutting remark
White Republicans : we demand historical accuracy People: ok here’s a bunch of information on the slave trade and plantations and white terrorism in reconstruction and the legacy of institutional racism White republicans: not that kind of historical accuracy

Morrisey is a piece of shit exhibit 9932
My beef with Morrissey runs all the way back to 1986 when he said this about Black artists. Nineteen Eighty Six, while the Smiths were still active. It’s not a “later phenomenon” don’t try and lie to me www.standard.co.uk/culture/musi...
And just from a dad’s perspective, it seems to me one of the explicit aims here is to make black girls feel like they are ugly. Like why else are you angry about a black little mermaid. And yes I take that shit personal.
It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
