On the contrary, force ICE to use these cars

Dems in California, Oregon, and Washington have literally nobody but themselves to blame for this.

I hope freezing your neighborhoods in amber was worth the loss of representation and the impending feeling of dread.

Coffee with capybaras: new café experience coming to Coeur d'Alene Big Red's Barn is set to open a unique, reservation-only animal encounter experience called Capy Hour Café on March 31.

Ok this is an absolutely crazypants idea for a cafe but I kind of love it

I dunno, I have a hard time believing that a toy company spent the resources to make fully-articulated action figures of both the Partridge Family and the Brady Bunch.

And even if they did, that some rando took the time to arrange a diorama of them brawling.

That thing smells like AI slop to me.

Looks like some kind of mangled tree

They didn’t have the guts to do a Fisherman’s Wife thing

I’m reminded of the people who thought they were going to be millionaires selling fidget spinners, only for the fad to die off months before their order of 100,000 units arrived from China.

Fred Meyer would be the worst place to shoplift from

At least my local one would be.

It has narrow entrances and those stupid RFID towers which combine to create a severe bottleneck

Oh…it’s a -hat-

I love that her first alternate idea was the terrible “skoots”

Personally I’d have gone with “Bleets”

Jay: Guys, please don't let "skeets" stick The experiment in decentralized naming decisions has resulted in the worst possible term How about skoots? Can we bring back skoots? Bluesky OGs, help me out here, remember skoots? 10:45 PM · Apr 27, 2023

Say what you will about Jay, but she is solely responsible for Bluesky posts being called skeets.

I saw cans of probiotic Pepsi at WalMart todqy and just kind of stared into the middle distance for a minute or two

oooh, do you rent a loft in an industrial district, too? do you go to gallery shows in bad neighborhoods? do you get a little thrill when you walk around the neighborhood with an open container? are you and your spouse experimenting with polyamory?

I’m saving them for after I finish her Throne of Glass series

Which I only started because I got 2 books into the Crescent City series and my librarian was all “oh hang on you should read all this other stuff before the 3rd CC book”

Why does she even have a Secret Service detail

Any way I can help, or are you just venting?

This is so clownish. You want a bare minimum coffee and a minimal line? Then why are you going to the place that specializes in making people special little treats and has built its entire business model on fulfilling detailed requests?

This is like saying it's rude to build a bear at Build-a-Bear.

I don’t think we should make any sweeping predictions based on polling of a mere 800 likely voters

[Iran] has entered the chat

Nobody talks about Eddie Cantor anymore either.

shoplifting is bad. cheating on your taxes is bad. smoking on the train is bad. not picking up your dog’s poop is bad.

we live in a society, act like it!

Why don’t we ever hear about the Gay of Hormuz

we're not doing this

Looking back I’m amazed at how long it took me to push back against the idea that “God works in mysterious ways” was an acceptable answer to anything.

The “oh sorry do you have a problem stealing from Jeff Bezos?!” people are so funny. As though it personally deducts a little from his personal bank account every time and he fumes about it and then goes “rats, well no choice but to totally absorb this loss”

But can you pick it up with welding gloves? A set of tongs perhaps?

Honestly this is the other thing that infuriates me about Taco Bell.

They’re perfectly capable of making good, unique menu items but the CEO is obsessed with this idea of making everything out of the same 6 ingredients so the menu is bland bullshit 95% of the time.

The special items never last

Maybe the next CEO can be someone who actually cares about moderation.

Not that moderation is their primary job, but they could come in and tell the staff to quit doing stupid shit like manually labeling accounts as “rude” when they should be permabanning the actually abusive accounts.

I hate how the fast food industry has transformed in the last ~5 years and that’s not even including how ridiculously overpriced everything is now.

-No I don’t want to use your app to order and pay
-Yes I sometimes want to go inside instead of idling in a drivethru lane for 10-15 minutes

Shit we might not even have a team next year

I’d jump ship too with that kind of uncertainty
