i once received a ton of texts from a very angry woman who kept calling me curtis jackson and yelling about ghosting her and i could not for the life of me get her to understand that the guy gave her 50 cent's name and my phone number

say what you will about AI, always-on voice recording and auto dictation has been a game changer for my workflows. Save post and close app. Yeah Footlong meatball sub on white. No veggies. Don't toast it. Ranch and barbecue sauce. Yeah, ranch and bargecue sauce. More. More. Little more please
the nostalgia diner industry should have aged past the 50s. I should be able to go to an era-accurate 90s diner, served a room temp Fruitopia by staff in babydoll dresses, there should be a Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition machine against the wall. They could sell Desert Storm trading cards.
you only got one finger left / and it's pointing at the door
really dug this
Phoebe Bridgers’ double-shot of TV clips with kid & senior backing bands last week might have looked like a gimmick. But really they peel back subtexts of “Lost Boys” and her own feelings about her life in music at almost-32 that may otherwise be submerged. carlwilson.substack.com/p/this-machi...
my signature move as a soccer player would be kicking the ball over the opposing team's net at key moments in the game
One of my strongest-held opinions is that the “track listing” section should be higher on the Wikipedia page for an album.
my wife texted our kids from the wilco concert and this is how they reacted
i’ve rewatched this 10 times so far, mostly for the horse noises
I cannot stop laughing at this. They were so close to cracking lmao #InfoWars #MAJA
As a neutral, I'm worried the second half could be even more ill-tempered and spatty than the first. The players need something to remind them that there are things more important than any match. This is supposed to be the beautiful game, after all. It's time to release a grizzly bear onto the pitch
if i tried to head a soccer ball one (1) time i would physically die
ODYSSEUS, BRISTLING WITH RAGE: thou dare attempt to pork my wife? while i’m on my big trip?
Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with
‘The Odyssey’ women Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong'o, and Charlize Theron stun in Paris.
i dig the soccer move where a guy unexpectedly lets a pass go by so the next guy can shoot it; they should do that shit more often imo
Me thinking about General Hospital: this show must be about a hospital Every clip of General Hospital Man in military fatigues: I’m proud to announce we’ve captured the radioactive ape
[going up to Taylor Swift's dad] fuckin, thanks for the open bar man, you must be so proud
