I've somehow watched two movies in a row where the pater familias is employed as a tow truck driver.

Okay but if we didn't have those sorts of detectives, we'd miss out on amazing things like this. (source: www.amazon.com/Woman-Birthm... )

If I was a detective I would simply not live in Scandinavia with a recurrent drinking problem being driven mad by lack of sunlight and the ghost of my dead wife I would get on with it

Oh ffs, Scott Jensen is still kicking around.

The State Auditor is a role that doesn’t get as much publicity as other statewide Constitutional offices, but it has served as a launching pad for some politicians and came close to breaking the long winless streak for Republicans in statewide office races in 2022.

I really wish I understood where the linguistic quirk of calling it "the MLB" came from. Couple of years ago nobody had ever heard it, nowadays even NPR reporters are saying it. Is it an instagram thing or something? And could we all please knock it the heck off?!

I don't ever want to hear that this isn't already a great country because just look at the size of lemonade I got at our county fair.

There was a cabinet of this in one of the malls in Billings, MT, when I was growing up (...we had more than one mall! it was a different time!). I remember it being a lot easier than it is now, oof. I got old and got bad, :( www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Venus also has an atmosphere, just sayin'.

Scientists say they have detected promising signs that a planet orbiting a star 49 light-years from Earth could have an atmosphere, making it potentially suitable for life. https://cnn.it/4g4fyjo

Uh......

Not quite sure what to do with our new house guest. That's our kitchen faucet!

At this point we've been bad for so long that I'm not embarrassed by it anymore. I check scores on a normal tab, even on my work machine!

This is an extremely local complaint, sorry, but Jfc I wish the Current would shut up about Michigander already.

Thanks for letting me know, I guess.

This convo between @adamconover.net and @reluctantlyjoe.bsky.social is well worth your time. I mean, it starts out with Osmundson talking about a hot guy working for an AI music company being "the biggest boner stomp I've ever experienced". Can't go wrong with that. youtu.be/gAwK-Zh8bZU?...

I can't be sure, but I get the feeling this is the only Golden Age Of Porn movie to ever describe WWI as "A war to make the world safe for democracy." www.themoviedb.org/movie/484024...

My parents, two boomers who live in Wyoming and think Ronald Reagan was our greatest president, told me the other day that the two most dangerous people in the world right now are Putin and Netanyahu. Genocide doesn't poll well!

Enten on the 67 point swing (!!!) against Israel among Americans: "We're not just talking about the Democratic base anymore. The general electorate has turned against Israel. This is not just a left issue. It's an American issue. The trend line is unbelievable."

I'm a goddamn financial genius.

On his horse (pretty good horse) which is syncopated gaited (choosing just one line from the greatest song ever written, the fight song of the University of Wyoming, is very difficult.)

For a brief time today, I was the southernmost person in a US state. (Guam and other assorted territories are further south) (and there's Americans in, like, Antarctica, obvs)

Even the very silly Italian propaganda cars are the most beautiful things ever created.

Silvio Vannini@silviovannini.bsky.social · 3w ago

This reminds me (not actually there, in 1958) of when the Italian Communist Party deemed it a good idea to make a sputnik-like car, to be used as a vehicle of propaganda during elections🤓

In the summer of 1996, I saw both the Val Kilmer/Marlon Brando version of The Island Of Dr. Moreau and Pamela Anderson's Barb Wire in theaters. I remember the former being weird and, because I was 17, the latter being bad in part because it didn't have enough nudity.

Today I saw sensitive plants growing wild. Around on the other side of the tree where it gets more light, they were flowering!

It's easy to fix all of this. In October, we move the clocks back 30 minutes and never touch them again. It's the best of both worlds! And also it means that both Trump and RFK would be angry with the decision!

I don't know what the record for following is on this entire website but I feel like this bot that just followed me has to be in the running.

My wife, who has two grandparents from Norway and two from Sweden and burns if she looks at a picture of the sun, just suggested moving to Hawaii when we retire.

If you're looking for a Sam Neill movie to celebrate his life with tonight, you should think about his first film, Sleeping Dogs. He's electric in it, and the film itself is really great. I saw it a couple of years back and it's really stuck with me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepin...

Fun fact: when a Minnesotan goes on vacation, they're obligated to go to Target as quickly as possible. (the zipper on our suitcase broke when it slid down the little ramp on the baggage carousel, so we had to go buy a new one. Fun way to start a vacay, for sure.)

Alaska's in-flight entertainment system is solidly B-Y-O-I-F-E-S.
