I went to high school in the early 00s (in a major Southern US city) with a girl who had bullet-hole decals on the side of her white pickup truck. One day she casually mentioned that she kept a machete under her driver’s seat for protection. It’s better than a gun, to be sure, but I’m sure my face was priceless.

Honestly, it continually amazes me that the person ultimately responsible for MAKING Teslas can be as stupid as he is and also be the world’s richest person

Sure, but why jerk off to your own reflection when you could traumatize a minor?

My grandma had neuropathy in her legs to the point where she totalled her car (fortunately no one was injured) because she couldn’t feel the pedals. She was late 80s, early 90s at that point. She still put up a fight when her kids came to convince her to give up her license. I get it, the lack of freedom sucks, but at

I’m struggling to call this “intentional.” Sounds like the man is dealing with schizoaffective disorder of some kind.

Their creamed spinach is how I started liking spinach in the first place. It was the only way my mom could get me to eat it (she was overly prone to steaming veggies to death). I haven’t had it in probably a decade but I’ll be sad if Boston Market closes forever... even though I can make an equally good version in my

I got one on Thursday and it was a bad experience from start to finish.

Listen, if a white woman tries to intervene in a lynching, I’m not gonna assume she’s on the Black man’s side. I’m a white woman and I’d like to think I’d’ve known better than to step in here.

I was wildly amused when I found out (yesterday, thanks to Black Twitter/TikTok) that the person who invented the folding chair was a Black man: Nathaniel Alexander. Feels like a full-circle moment.

There’s a fun Netflix miniseries (a dramatization, not a documentary) featuring Octavia Butler and Tiffany Haddish about her! It’s called “Self Made” and it’s definitely worth a watch.

While Bezos throws an engagement party for all the billionaires he knows, on his 500-foot superyacht... sigh.

When I was in an admin role at a previous job, I and the other admins frequently googled candidates coming in for admin roles*, and one time we discovered a candidate did Suicide Girl-type photography and posted it on her public Facebook. Like, girl, WHY. We weren’t even allowed to wear open-toed shoes at that job. Loc

Wait... this is literally happening to me right now in my brand-new Buick. Same instructions too. Oil pump issue, it’s “ok” to keep driving unless the light starts blinking, waiting on my mechanic to call me back when a replacement part comes in.

Joke will be on him OR he will go down the Elon Musk path and his trans kid will cut contact.

I’m just an office worker - my body isn’t put through the same stressors as factory workers - but I would kill for a 32-hour workweek at a 40-hour salary. I’m a millennial and I believe my generation and Gen Z have a lot of consensus around this - working hard and getting paid buckets of money is nice for a while if

I bet it goes to their retirement fund. PBA/SBA can only be jealous that NYC doesn’t offer as many opportunities to terrorize citizens by high-speed chase.

I have a CUV and, at 5'0", need to use a stepladder to load and unload my paddleboard. The only reason I have a CUV is because I couldn’t find an affordable sedan with AWD.

Taylor’s dad was a stock broker at Merrill Lynch who came from a long line of bankers. Comparing her and Dolly’s background is insane.

I know you’re being facetious, but she’s wearing at least 2-3 pairs of performance tights, which probably don’t come cheap considering the rate she must go through them.

Yeah it might be $149/month up front but you’re still going to end up spending money on all their shitty upcharges, like picking a seat in advance or bringing a carry-on bag. I flew Frontier ONCE, I flew Spirit ONCE, and never again.
