SIGMUND should make the process kill its one parent and uh …
well I guess it only has one parent

I don’t look at social media or anything but Tim Walz must have tweeted something about the inauguration venue? If he didn’t he doesn’t deserve to be a public figure

This might be true of some other groups as well, but GenX men are definitely lowkey split into the Lynch guys and the Ueck guys. It’s like cafeteria tables

On the other hand it gives pro Trump people an easy thing to say. But sometimes that happens.
Just have to accept that. Plus it’s just straight up good news, as far as it goes, isn’t that like a billion times more important than who gets credit 10k miles away

I’m missing some context here but surely when that happens a couple days before inauguration, there isn’t anyone on earth who’d argue it was completely unrelated to inauguration, right? Saying that isn’t pro Trump or pro anyone, it’s like saying the sky is blue (on Bluesky.. heh).

Nathan Pyle still has just one joke. I learned what synonyms were when I was in the third grade

So, like, us patriotic Americans just showed up and did our job yesterday like expected. Of course, expected. With us you know what’s going to happen. Every workplace counts on people like that. But you know sometimes people like that eventually figure out a way to make sure they’re appreciated.

Kids are so used to pausing video. Watching a movie with a 12 year old bears the same relationship to the running time of the movie as an NFL game does to the clock

<scoffing> How do *you* know what “lore” means?

<scoffing back> It’s worse than you think. I also know how to use it correctly.

Sol on “Reelin’ In The Years”: “I think she’s had enough of your SINGING”

I mean, we knew that, but … we *know* that now and there won’t be any going back. Not for a generation, I predict.

It was always just deliberate enshittification and stumbling blocks, all of it, always, all the way down

I’ve spent my life in computers, but even if you’ve spent your life doing something totally different, you probably still knew that all of this was always possible. Not just possible, but easy.

the whole process took about 3 seconds to get me to a rep. Then when she transferred me, the next rep had all my info.

Called up BCBSIL this morning about something routine. The voice prompts had all been bypassed but you could still hear the very beginning of each voice prompt. It sounded like glitching as it just went from the first second of the voice prompt to the first second of the next…

Jacinda claims she doesn’t remember the Polly-O String Cheese commercial and now I don’t even know what GenX is anymore

(serious)
watch the situation in Pakistan if you’re an American interested in authoritarianism vs. reality.
the government is trying to shutdown the internet just enough to hinder the opposition from organizing, yet you can tell they know they’ve depended on remote work massively for decades

Jacinda on Gaetz’s withdrawal:
“he doesn’t want that thing to come out”

me: “bit late for that”

this kind of needs an #iykyk

I thought this was the place for people who still haven’t gotten over the death of Dickey Betts. Shit. Am I lost
