Andy “voice of Brak” Merrill 🅿️@amerrill2.bsky.social · 21h agoLet’s impeach from beneath this time. We’ve already impeached the big fish twice and we’ll get to impeaching a third time. Priority impeachment should start with Hegseth. With Steven Miller. Basically the whole cabinet. Cut the legs and arms off first and then go for the fucking torso.
Overheard in Old Town: A group of street people are laughing together. A woman exclaims to the guy next to her, “You’re what they call a male gigolo.”

At my job, there are a few retirements coming up. A celebration is being held, but in one case I’m (privately) celebrating that the person is leaving.
Rewatching Maximum Overdrive, a longtime favorite. I don’t blame those trucks for acting like that, if diesel was just over a buck a gallon I’d be zealously guarding the truck stop too!
NIGHT OF THE DEMONS is apparently too much for this bar to play on the TV, the lipstick scene was more than they could handle and they switched to one of the Annabelle movies.
In Raising Arizona, H.I. McDunnough works for Hudsucker Industries.
Amy "Thunderjam" Chase@amythunderjam.bsky.social · 2w agoWe all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Meredith Rose@mrose.ink · 2y agoWhat is your favorite meme/Onion headline about your profession?
People face this even with non-toxic parents sometimes. I limit the time I spend with mine just because they choose to live in a remote location that is expensive and difficult to get to.

I lasted one shift as a clerk at Circle K. Nothing bad even happened, I just knew right away it wasn’t for me. Had several other jobs where I didn’t make it two weeks.

Weird football game I’m watching…Seattle vs. Washington, and Washington’s QB used to play for Oregon.
The sound of ducks quacking in the distance always sounds like old men muttering to themselves. As an old man who mutters, I am well familiar with the sound.
Saw BACKROOMS for the third time last night and yeah, that one is sticking around in my head.
a burrito, because who doesn’t like burritos
