none of us can help how we're born, of course but I simply refuse to accept that Tommy Tuberville is a name of an elected member of Congress

is there a way to make emails sent to me bounce back not because my email address was mistyped but because I don't want them

this isn't a full fix, it barely scratches the surface but assign the kids Austen it's good also because it fights back against "it's just people talking" since people talking is most of what happens in the world

Yankees lineup no longer looks like a cry for help and rather a yelp of confusion I don't know, guys, just win a game please

The US host cities for the 2026 men's World Cup claim that they were *verbally* promised $1 million each by Gianni Infantino and that FIFA hasn't paid up. Truly incredible stuff. www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

so I've heard everyone is not doing well but I am unfortunately not caught up on the show (missed most of season 2) so I'm trying to figure out what the freakout is about based on the plot timeline and I'm failing

if there's a sunday chore you hate doing i encourage you to avoid it. yes you've painlessly knock it out every other week and yes it only actually ever takes 15 minutes, but what if this time it kills you? best to avoid it

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
