It’s weird to be at this Portland Fire vs Indiana Fever game because there’s a bunch of old creepy dudes in Cunningham jerseys parading around their anti-trans bullshit.

When you’re sick with a summer cold, you should be entitled a $100 a day as a rebate against the amount of summer fun you are missing out on.

every time I see 250th merch, the dates really do look like an epitaph on a gravestone for how long democracy lasted

hey siri, post a photo of the 50lb brick shithouse outdoor chair I just built in a couple hours using 2x6 pressure treated lumber and use the furthest distance photo and reduce the resolution so no one zooms in and sees all my mistakes, ok thanks siri

Shoutout to whoever wrote the geo-restricted TV streaming app I tried to use tonight with a mullvad vpn IP address set to different US cities that blocked me from playback, but when I picked a Canadian IP, it all worked fine. Thanks for leaving thr backdoor open, anonymous coder!

another reason to love Hertz rental cars: if you drive one of their rental cars in Colorado and you hit any of Colorado's many every-lane-is-a-toll highways, normally Colorado takes a photo of your car then mails you a bill, but Hertz intercepts those and adds […] [Original post on xoxo.zone]

dang I love the little Aliexpress touchscreens that can be set up to control anything in your house, for all of $20 or so. They're freaking amazing. \ Thanks @cruftbox for writing about them! https://a.wholelottanothing.org/controlling-your-home-with-tiny-cheap-touchscreens/

Today, Pogacar won a mountain stage over a minute faster than Marco Pantani did it in the late 1990s, which was long considered an “impossible” result because it was done by the most doped-up rider during the most doped up Tour de France of all time. I want to believe Pogacar isn’t cheating but […]

It isn’t often you get to witness absolute perfection

There should a Forged in Fire style TV show about woodworking. Norm Abram can be a judge.

I walked into a grocery store and spent $35 on non-alcoholic beer at 2pm on a weekday and when paying for it I half expected the checkout person to ask me if I didnt have a drinking problem

on the Matt Damon to Josh Brolin continuum, today’s Matt Damon is closing in on the end of it [████████░░] 85%

I walked in late for a screening of live action Moana and thought it’d be super familiar but it was weird! Almost three hours long? They replaced Moana with Spiderman for some reason? The God Maui was lost at sea for most of the movie? Also? Surprisingly violent for a Pixar family film.

Greetings, Salt Lake City, the spiritual home of jazz, I can’t wait to go into this store and buy some Blue Note Records

If you go to a theater to see a three hour long movie, they should provide you with a choice of a free commemorative empty Gatorade bottle or adult diaper

c’mon Spain, score already so we can end this nonsense at 90’

Walking into an Odyssey screening, I could tell the tall gentleman in front of me was actually three kids on top of each other wearing a trenchcoat so I didn’t say anything because that’s a Trojan horse and I admire their commitment to the bit

I just had my first-ever shower inside an airport terminal, and honestly it feels like a cheat code for life. I paid for a Capital One lounge 3hrs before my flight, got a great cold shower and fresh clothes on after being outside all day in 90°F heat. It was life changing and worth every penny.

It’s a great day for soccer in Denver

What is the deal with elderly couples who fly across an aisle with both on aisle seats? Does it happen when you prefer ease of exit over soending time next to your companion? Or is it for people that love to yell across an aisle’s gap?

T-shirt tags have gotten smaller for years and now many shirts are completely tagless! The world rejoiced. Then some asshole at Nike thought “You know what the market wants? Itchy laundry care tags sewn INSIDE our shirts that scratch the top of your left shoulder! People will LOVE that!"

Twice a week my dog goes to daycare to play and socialize with other pups and after I drop her off each time, I go to a nearby McDonalds and get an Egg McMuffin. But whats odd about this is the same person has handed it to me in the drive-thru for about two years straight.

I swear to god if Trump somehow cancels the midterm elections nationally, I will do a January 6 and storm the capitol and try to take a massive shit on Mitch McConnell’s desk because wtf is this democracy if Trump can cancel elections any time he doesn’t like the results? […]

I happily use The Rock’s new line of soap and hair products because they smell good and work well, but also because they remind me every morning that the world’s most famous bald guy is successfully selling shampoo, so truly, anyone can do anything in this life.
