Why are you still using X?

I downloaded an album on Limewire that had a voiceover in the middle of every song, basically a watermark, with the name of a company or radio station that released the bootleg. I played that album on repeat all summer, and even though I now legally stream that album, I can still mentally hear the spots where those…

Because capitalism/“the free market.”

Call in the orcas! Or see if Hvaldimir, the Russian-trained beluga whale who escaped (defected?) to Icelandic waters, would be interested in a California vacation & recon mission.

Tighten the regulations AND end the terrible practice of “self-monitoring”/ “self-regulating.” And we should all be voting for the party that doesn’t want to axe every single safety regulation on the books.

It’s sub-optimal, yeah, but even LESS sub-optimal is allowing a terrorist to fly into a skyscraper and kill thousands of people. I’m very grateful that I chose a line of work where this sort of decision will never ever be in my hands.

And in LA or San Fran too! NYPD spent plenty of my taxpayer money upgrading their fleet a LONG time ago.

Because Trevor Milton hasn’t wormed his way into dozens of military contracts, nor is he the richest (or, currently, second-richest) man on earth.

I think it’s because he knows he failed to make movies that resonated with the existing fanbase for the IP, and if fans are panning a movie, casual moviegoers are less likely to watch it too. I don’t understand why he didn’t change course and switch up his processes, rather than fail repeatedly and become a punchline…

My father was a HUGE Mel Brooks fan, and I’m not sure if I saw Spaceballs or Men in Tights first but both were on heavy, heavy rotation throughout my childhood. I had them both practically memorized at one point. There’s only one other person from my mini-generation (elder millennial) at my current job and he was…

And I don’t think I heard ANYONE talking about Rebel Moon apart from a resounding “meh.” The entire summer was Barbie discourse, to the point that we are now getting thinkpieces about how we’ve talked about Barbie too much.

One of them started pushing 40, changed their mind about wanting kids, but then cheated on their wife and got another woman pregnant, so the wife - who had wanted children but prioritized her marriage to a childfree man - had to freeze her eggs while watching another woman have what she should’ve rightfully (as his…

I have a strict “no comedians, actors, or guys in bands” rule because their insatiable egos (and all the aberrant behaviors that come with it) are more than I’m willing to deal with. John Mulaney is pretty much exactly my type but I never actually had a crush on him because my aversion to performers is so strong.

I like that idea a lot. Maybe a billion dollar company could have pathways to temporarily reopen their stocks program if they’re trying to build out a huge initiative (especially if there’s some sort of benefit to the government or general citizenry, like a space program or large-scale environmental innovation), but…

Great point, actually - Florida has some of the most comprehensive open-records laws in the country (a big part of why we get so many Florida Man/Woman stories), but I’m sure police have carved out exemptions.

I don’t have much to say other than I am SO GLAD that Hank Green (guy in the video at the bottom of this post) is finished with his cancer treatment and his hair is fully grown back. I’m grateful he continued making content during his illness, but it was hard to watch him physically decline due to life-saving poison.

I don’t give a rats ass about cars (except Mustangs) but I love driving. Got my learners permit and was immediately put to work on family roadtrips, so I’m used to long hauls along curvy mountain roads. I lived in NYC for a long time and (as a classically trained but non-professional singer) frequently missed being…

Pink is my least favorite color and I’ve never wanted to drive a Jeep-style vehicle, let alone own one, but I would drive this one until its last gasp. My first car was a Suzuki and I was pretty pleased with it, all things considered.

By creatures of some sort. Not humans.

Too bad he’s so ugly and stupid!
