My cousin/surrogate father figure was a bus driver for New Jersey Transit for 30 years. Most of his routes ran from Philadelphia/Camden to the southern ‘burbs like Millville and Bridgeton NJ, so there was always a good mix of inner-city riders, New Jersey’s own special brand of provincials and every thing in between.

I actually have a positive story.

I recently broke up with my partner of 5+ years after coming to the realization (or, as I also look at it, finally accepting) that I am gay.

I am now living back at my mothers house, which while isn’t ideal in the grand life plan, did come at a good time during a pandemic where I find myself privileged to have a secure…

I still think the depletion of the Secret Service budget was a deliberate strategic move, since they investigate all of Russia’s favorite types of crimes.

LoL he would jog around and then make unannounced stops at, like, a crowded McDonalds. Am I remembering that correctly or was that just an SNL skit? I can’t imagine a bigger PITA than trying to protect him and he’s randomly doing shit like that.

DAMN THEIVING STEALING ASS JEZEBEL

If you’re protecting the VP from those assclown insurrectionists (as well as any other threat), you better be in tip top shape.

I hope she turns Pence’s self-flagellation dungeon into a kick ass personal gym at the Naval Observatory.

I’ve always wondered if secret service, FBI, etc, folks who sometimes need to be seen in suits and blend in office settings but also sometimes need to be able to chase a motherfucker down and whoop ass, have special footwear, like running shoes that camouflage as dress shoes or something? And like, sweat resistant…

I was devastated when Jerry Orbach died. I first knew him as Lumiere. Then as my dad introduced me to Broadway music, I got to know him as a member of the original cast of Annie Get Your Gun, El Gallo from The Fantasticks, and my absolute favorite, Julian Marsh from 42nd Street. A lot of people saw him just as Lenny…

Carrie Fischer, and it’s not even close. I was sad about Robin Williams, Leonard Nemoy, Bowie and Rickman, but Carrie was the first one that brought me to full on sobbing tears. She was supposed to be at my local ComiCon just a couple of weeks before she passed, and she was the first person that I considered dropping…

i’m usually rather unphased by celebritiy deaths but the one that truly got me cold was Anthony Bourdain. that one was a real oof.

I was born in 81 and when he died I was very concerned about the fate of Kermit the Frog since he was the voice.

Robin Williams' suicide.

Yes! I heard this on npr while driving home earlier. That’s the best part of the whole story! You know that just put him into a screaming rage and someone was immediately dispatched to McD’s for a happy meal to calm him down. 

It will never not be insane that he was president. I cannot picture him objectively succeeding in anything in life, ever, and he seems like the most obnoxious person to have ever walked the face of the earth. I cannot believe any mentally healthy person would willingly listen to him talk for more than 20 seconds, let…

No, what probably hurt him most deeply was the PGA of America moving the 2022 Championship from one of his courses.

The best thing ever is her official statement after receiving this.....she literally sent out:

Even after everything, his petty whining still makes you shake your head.

Speaking of DC, Senator Carper of Delaware has introduced legislation in the Senate to make DC the 51st state!
