Really can't wait to vote for Rob Sand wearing my FUCK ROB SAND shirt
Iowans be like “we moved because we just like a smaller school district” and it’s just “our child isn’t good enough at sports to make the starting team but we are in denial and want them to feel like they are a future major leaguer.”

All of the Iowa Republican candidates are running ads like “This is what we are going to do to help people”. Ummm… you are in power. How about you help people now.
Funny, I never hear farmers saying that they aren’t vaccinating their livestock because of the same reasons they give for adult vaccines.
Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Paw Patrol prepares kids for real life because there’s a character named Mayor Humdinger who is an evil villain but he apparently keeps getting elected.
As you may know my kids love the old cartoons and I got a kick out of this Pink Panther shot
For some reason I thought he was dead, but Jonathan Pryce would clearly be my first call.
You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

I don’t agree with Trump on much but his thinking that “YMCA “ was released 30 years ago is in line with me.
Ozempic really looked at those old ads and thought we preferred Justin Long to John Hodgman
Anti-Trump liberals, anti-semites, people who think he’s a jerk, people who think he’s too old, people who think he’s too cheesy, Ace Frehley and Peter Chris’s fans, I don’t know that I have seen so much unity in a comment section since that Gene Simmons casino ad.
Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. I don’t know how obscure this is but we watched this Geoffrey Tambor as a blind professor 1986 show and laughed
Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. I have 2: first, The Two of Us. Ran for 20 episodes in 1981-82; remake of ‘70s UK show Two’s Company. I think probably monthly of Dana Hill yelling “HE’S ABOUT AS EXCITING AS GEORGE BUSH” about one of her single mother’s prospective beaus.

I’m not entirely convinced that I didn’t die a few years ago and 2026 is a bad dream
Don’t tell @noyoucmon.bsky.social that I some time confuse Mando Diao and Manu Chao. He would totally lose respect for me.
Doesn’t look like the local rock radio station got the memo to take Aerosmith off the playlist
