if you're going to argue Biden shouldn't drop out, at least have the decency to stop pretending he's not in an obvious state of age-related decline nothing wrong with that btw, my grandmother's currently going through the same thing, but she's not the President

typo in the first tweet, it’s “mutuals’ replies,” not “mutual’s,” but even that is not correct these settings allow you to see when two people you follow are replying to each other

imo, these should be the standard settings, but i don’t think they are, or at least they weren’t back when i first signed up

reminder: if you want replies in your feed to work roughly the same way as Twitter, where you can actually see people’s threads, and mutual’s replies, these are the settings you want

the other great thing clarified here is that the Revue had been negotiating with Mullin for a 5-year lease extension, which i would assume means if they win their case, they might have at least another 5 years of life (not nothing, especially when the landlord is 96)

3 or 4 months max, i should say, cause often it’s way shorter than that

people in the US know that in most countries, election campaigns only last about 3 or 4 months, right? and that they commonly start on on track and end up going in wild directions, right?

A whole thing of pasta salad in the heaviest bowl you've ever seen on a weak fold out table. The tinfoil half on and a wooden spoon poking out. Penne, lemon, olive oil, red wine vinegar, cherry tomatoes, green pepper, red onion, cucumber,kalamata olives, flies buzzing around, feta wilting in the sun

always funny to see someone refer to an obviously precisely crafted work of art a "mess," as though they don't understand the difference between something being messy and something not ultimately working

people afraid to like this cause they don't wanna admit they know what xHamster is, which is why Biden will lose (and all the other reasons)

if Biden wants to win, he's gotta spread the word about this far and wide for everyone to hear "They wanna take away your Pornhub and your OnlyFans! They don't want you jackin' off! I heard they're coming for xHamster. Come on, man!"

Canadian Architect magazine has been doing a great job covering the ongoing fiasco surrounding the closing of the Ontario Science Centre. Here's their latest, which tears apart the proposal for a temporary site.

to your point, the best stuff in The Bear is often the stuff that is more traditional to modern television, things you wouldn’t have seen in even the 90s, but still in a way grew out of all that development over time. people discover new attributes.

the trick with medium specificity is that everything is subjective, of course, which means people will reasonably disagree on what the unique attributes of a medium even are, which is awesome!
