Me rolling a d20. Someone I have never met “that’s a spin down, not a d20.” Me staring in fight me.
Ok just found out about Dead Pioneers and “general custer died with shit in his pants” is pure gold
If Iran sent a bomb that disabled our water infrastructure, it would be massive news. If the President then took Iran’s side and blamed Minnesota, it would be treason. Why is this buried 2/3 down the @startribune.com page?

Is Katy Perry still stuck in the bottle? Did anyone get her out yet?
Going to start copywriting AI images of Peggy and DMCAing these ads that I’m being bombarded with on YouTube
Made it through like 12 iterations of resume formats and finally landed on one that gets callbacks. It’s fucked up because I always wish that wasn’t what was important but have had everyone since my newest iteration comment on how helpful my resume was.

Very funny that the MN senate race is focusing on fraud and the TX senate race is against Dan Patrick (fraud if fraud was a person). Dems gleefully embracing right wing framing is exhausting
My favorite Amazon feature is spending 20 minutes searching for something you know exists but can’t seem to find anywhere else, getting lots of garbage you know won’t work, looking for something else a few hours later and them advertising the thing you couldn’t locate with their search functions
