How about starting with a menu that doesn't change into an advertisement while I'm trying to read it

Starbucks CEO says the company is planning to focus more on AI and tech, including a adding system that would recognize customers as they arrive in stores to "present personalized digital menus."

So essentially, the alcohol industry would not survive without alcoholics. Hoooly shit.

I hope you understand how insane this chart is. There is a decile of US Americans who consume 10+ alcoholic drinks per day. The three bottom deciles don’t drink at all.

The service at the KFC I'm at is so bad that I actually feel bad for the staff. They're just completely overmatched. The chicken and potatoes are defeating them. We're coaching through jt.

I'm SORRY, I know, I know, we're supposed to just ignore these but I'm not strong enough. these goddamn pithy sarcastic chuds who will point at a thing and say "wow that's fucked up and I'm thr only one that knows it" and post it and collect their 1.6K likes and move on.

Patrick Stewart :( TNG was my introduction to science fiction, and it would've been hard to ask for a better one. What a talent. RIP.

Patrick Stewart, ‘Star Trek’ Captain and ‘X-Men’ Superhero, Dies at 86

He’s forever known for playing Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, whom he “admired for their morality, for their kindness, for their sensitivity, for their compassion.”

Hell yeah to the guy in the Death t-shirt. Chuck Schuldiner would be proud (I assume)(based on no evidence)

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

There is a lot of good Political Leaders news lately - Brazil, Hungary, maybe Israel (maybe not), midterms seem to be trending well, and even here in Toronto there's good news. I used to be scared of embracing the wins too much because Shit's Still Fucked Up Out There but I'm slowly changing on that

BREAKING NEWS: there was one piece of leftover garlic bread that I was excited to eat for lunch but I nuked it for too long and now my apartment smells like burnt toast and I have no garlic bread for lunch. Prime Minister Carney expected to address the media later today.

I have had a soft spot for the Chiefs for a long time - Andy Reid being a beloved Eagles coach, my son arbitrarily picked them as "his team" when he was 3, and I think Patrick Mahomes is maybe the most talented QB I've ever seen - but I think that's ending. Fuck Andy Reid, fuck the Chiefs.

I'm not gonna lie I'm slowy tranisitioning into the guy on the right, minus the salary and chiseled pecs

also helps when you’re the guy on the right lol

on the one hand, I've seen Meshuggah 3 times already, and they haven't released anything new since the last time I saw them. It's also an arena show which, good for them but the sound might be ass. On the other hand, Meshuggah is coming to Toronto and I'm considering not going? Am I mad?

This notification just made me fucking burst out laughing. As usual, had to check if it was indeed the onion.

As a policy I try not to repost articles on headlines alone but sometimes the headline rocks so hard it's immune to whatever else would be in the article, and this certainly applies here.

I live in Boebert’s district. We are same sex parents whose son already has a string of accomplishments. This is my pet peeve and has angered me for decades. apple.news/A8XQk8uUFTyi...

It's tempting to give advertisers credit for coming up with places to shove advertising into that I never would've thought of, but then I remember the reason I wouldn't think of it is because it sucks and is slowly killing us

I have my shit to say about it from time to time but Toronto is my home and I love it and I'm proud of us tonight!

I didn't watch it live but upon replay am I nuts for thinking the check-swing call was not just correct but uncontroversially so? It seemed very obvious to me that he went

Not that I ever thought women weren't funny but I do remember getting on Twitter and realizing women made up a healthy majority of the funniest tweets I would see, and it drove home the extent to which women are held back from occupying space in traditional comedic spaces

How "women aren't funny" came to be: humor IS our power.

I used to be a little shrill about NEVER USE AI EVER and I'm accepting that there are certain use-cases for average joes that are basically fine, but when people copy/paste chatbot or google AI results for info purposes, I still knee-jerk point out that it might be wrong, and I doubt it's popular

Completely unsolicited advice for anyone who has a new phone - buy the best otterbox you can, and if it doesn't come with a screen protector of some kind, buy one for 10 bucks or whatever. It is worth the price. I drop my phone literally every day and it's still pristine. It is worth it.

Baffling movie title

I don't follow BC politics closely enough to have too much of a comment other than people reallllly don't like snap elections and I wouldn't be surprised if some nom-partisan voters were simply punishing thr NDP's opportunism

Is there a reason cab drivers will inch their car forward at a light instead of just fucking stipping? Every cabbie does, no other driver does this. In theory I want to support cabbies over uber but under drivers don't drive like they want me to puke

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

Not from you, asshole. Shut your fucking piehole.

Doug Ford: "It's clear that Canada's relationship with the United States has changed permanently. No matter what happens in the midterms, no matter who sits in the White House, we're not going back to the way things were."

I grasp about 10% of this post, but uh, it sure sounds bad

the story goes like this

The vice presidency is not technically a ceremonial role but the respect and attention it commanded was sort of mystique based, and I believe JD Vance has killed it. I don't know if anyone will give a shit about the vice president ever again as long as I live.

JD Vance greeting Bengals players and most are ignoring him lol

This is one of those ones where he's lying, but if it's true, who fuckin' cares. Elon Musk's net worth could probably buy a house for every American, and Sam Altman's could buy everyone a BMW. immigrants scamming welfare (a thing that isn't happening) is like 125th on the list of problems

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)
