We’ve been making our trucks bigger, heavier and shittier for decades because of a law that says the bigger the truck, the more it’s allowed to pollute. And by god, do we love to pollute. Nobody else in the world is interested in that shit.

Same, but flamin hot cheetos.

California Bay Area: Safeway store brand is $2.49/lb for whole chickens or whole legs, $5.99 for boneless, skinless breasts. Free range (Rocky) is $2.99 for whole/whole legs and $8.99 for breasts. Organic (Rosie) is $3.99 whole, $10.99 breast. It was cheaper pre pandemic, the bird flu hasn’t raised prices a second time.

I don’t know why but I find the video extremely unsettling. At first I was like, oh neat, human dominoes! But then the formations started looking more and more like sea creatures, but made of people… I don’t know. I like sea creatures just fine. I do not like this.

If you like Tim there, may I suggest him in Legend (1985)?

Eat less. It sounds obvious, I know. But prepare your meal as normal, divide it in half and put half in a container in the fridge. Eat the other half, then distract yourself for half an hour. If you’re still ravenous, heat up the other half and have it. But you probably won’t be. And you’ve got your next meal ready to go!

Billionaires.

Also, the propagation of the idea that you are poor because of the actions of even poorer people.

But have you tried making it extremely salty?

This is adorable.

I think it could be replaced with cookies and non alcoholic hot apple cider, but it might not be as sociable without everyone being a bit tipsy.

Hey man, there’s still bird flu!

It was already sitting on the stairs though?

Was pretty hilarious (tragic and awful) to hear senators from very low gdp states on the news talking about how they were going to “cut funding to California” after the L.A. fires until we leaned our lesson and stopped having fires. We’re number one and we have number two beat by over a trillion.

There was another one where kindergarteners rated attractive teachers as smarter and easier to get along with than unattractive ones. Both “teachers” just read them a story and left.

With media, you get a lot of straight, white (usually young) men bitching about “forced diversity” if the main characters aren’t their idea of “standard human” which is, of course, a straight, white, neurotypical, cisgender man. He can have a British accent if he’s fancy or an Australian one if he’s rowdy. Otherwise American all the way, baby.

I can’t watch original series Star Trek because of the screeching sounds that happen whenever we are supposed to feel dramatic surprise and/or suspense. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

Clean bin, dirty bin.

That’s actually correct usage in several dialects, including African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and Appalachian English (AE). In the US we are brought up to believe that the dialect used by upper middle class white people is “Standard English” and is “correct” but most linguists today recognize that this is an antiquated and problematic way of characterizing language. Each dialect has its own acceptable variations. You can make mistakes within a dialect, but the various dialects are not more or less “correct” based on how close they are to “Standard English.”

It’s because your skin is too lose, it’s easy to get under it.
