You guys! MapQuest is back. And they seem really great! What's really great for me is that as someone who never stopped saying MapQuest out of habit, now it can be what I actually meant!

I'm curious to see if Google chickens out again and changes the name of Lake Ontario. What the fuck is the point of any of this? He knows everything is just going to be changed back the moment the dipshit is out of office, right? Dumbshit really believes he'll be emperor for life.
Long and perhaps boring 🧵 thread: So the Department of Education posted a Trump “tribute” video this week made entirely out of Churchill’s big anti-Hitler speech. Deleted within hours. Iconic.
I wonder if ticket sales at the Kennedy Center dropped because nobody wants to play there while Dementia Dummy is in office.
The Rick James sketch from Chappelle's show might be the finest sketch comedy thing which has ever been recorded on film. It's been twenty years and it can still bring me to tears laughing.

August 24th is National Emory Board day. I would have celebrated, though I forgot it was even a holiday, due to my awful emory.
Robots beat Bolt at Beijing games. That's like saying, Volkswagen Rabbit beats Bolt at Beijing games. Or fucking, Backhoe beats Arnold at Power Lifting contest. Arnold could only dead lift 300 lbs. but the Backhoe lifted ten tons! It's meaningless.

I don't care what the writer says. I'll always believe that this is the single best song about not wanting to be in Phish anymore, but things getting too big, so you can't quit.

We're done kicking the can down the road. Here's how we're fixing the city-owned section of the BQE.
Today is International Bow day. The traditional gift, of course, is a bow job.
I wonder if that's because he quadrupled the price of materials with tarriffs and then put a bunch of the builders into death camps.

I have never once managed to win a game of Sid Meyer's Civilization. In 60% of games, I get killed by turn 5. In all other cases, I'm chugging along and someone wins from discovering communism or building a dozen pyramids or whatever, and somehow I never buy the whole game or all the countries.
Kristin 🇨🇦🤓@faierius.bsky.social · 3w agoNo hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.
Every year the Democrat party has a turnover of about almost a million people. Voters die, and new voters come on board. That's a huge reason why the party has been shifting left. It's organic, but not at the same pace in every state and region. Super PACs want to divide you. Don't let them.
It's always fun to come across this commercial. Is everyone ready for Punk! The Punkiest Music you ever heard! (Yes, I'm aware that Punk was a super genre which included a lot of Goth/New Wave. What we usually refer to as Post Punk now. Still an amazing commercial.) Huey Lewis can suck it though.
