If you think the Supreme Court is out of control now, imagine if Trump appoints two, three, or four more justices.

I’m incredibly late to this party, but I decided it was time to watch Game of Thrones. Finally figured Martin wasn’t going to finish writing the book series and if I wanted to know how it ends, I have to watch it. Also somehow have mostly missed spoilers, so that’s nice.

I wonder if people feel the same revulsion toward mashed potato on pizza. (It’s delicious, especially with bacon & hot cherry peppers, but I found it suspect until I tried it.)

My Uni made a video about what to do in an “active assailant” situation and it’s very good. The advice is sound, well arranged and well presented. And it makes me so fucking angry that we have to live in a society where it was reasonable and necessary to make such a video. 😡

Was that Irish Spring? Didn’t they also do commercials where they cut into the soap bar with a pocket knife, for some reason?

Reasons I follow and then unfollow: 1. Wow they post a LOT about stuff I don’t have context for 2. Good points, but just spraying that rhetorical shotgun EVERYWHERE 3. I’m going to get parasocial on this person aren’t I? Time to nope out

Checking Yelp to see what the reviews are like for a new restaurant I haven’t been to yet, and… How do you even write a 1-star review because you drove 45 minutes and they weren’t open for lunch when you arrived? That’s on you, ma’am!

Hi, I’m an IT professional. My greatest hits include: - yes I can, and no I won’t* - no, AI isn’t likely to be helpful for that - sorry I don’t know how to fix your printer. Yes, I am in IT, just not that part of it - computers can neither think nor feel, therefore are incapable of “hating you”

I know it’s been a while, and plenty of people were critical of it, but I liked She-Hulk. It had a vibe I really enjoyed, and characters I liked. Lately too much of the Marvel stuff forgets to make me like the characters.

What do you call a journalist who sees a metric ton of primary sources and says, “hmm looks like I’m going to have to go undercover to get the real story here”?

I think there is a not-small portion of the US population who would drink turpentine, if a perceived authority told them they shouldn’t. Real “you’re not the boss of me” vibe.
