That was absolutely beautiful.

I used to enjoy the old Joystiq site. Followed them to Engadget. Hell, I used the Joystiq url redirect bookmark until it stopped working. Might as well just delete the bookmark now, no sense it watching it slide further into irrelevancy.

That’s what she said.

It could be worse.

You ever try emptying your clip at an entire Ikea?

No… but you probably just aroused a few dozen ammosexuals.

Getting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it’s been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.

Yeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!

Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.

The year is After Colony 195. With high expectations, human beings leave Earth to begin a new life in space colonies. However, the United Earth Sphere Alliance gains great military powers, and soon seizes control of one colony after another in the name of Justice and Peace.

I am now the pilot of a Leo.

Engineer Guy went years between books uploads. I had to do a double take when he came up in my feed a few months ago.

It’s almost as if political dynasties/neoptism/cronyism shouldn’t be a thing. Fuck Trump. And fuck Menendez. And Kennedy. Bush, Clinton, Cheney, Paul, Ashcroft, and probably dozens of others that aren’t coming immediately to mind.

Form the minute lil Robert declared he was running, the local media simply treated him as the heir to his dad’s old seat. Because it was true. He cruised on connections, many of them because his daddy is a crook. I’m hoping Andy Kim can primary senior if he wriggles free again, but Murphy’s wife is also running and would you look at that, now we’re right back at unqualified people pretending they can govern just because of who they’re related to.

My thought process went a little something like:

Holy shit that’s a sweet photo, is it shopped? AI?

Omg those dresses are gonna be covered in dog hair.

Why would it be illegal to use a dog as a flower girl?

…OH! 🤦‍♂️

He tried blackjack already. Poor guy couldn’t figure out how to keep multiple casinos, an industry known for basically printing money, afloat. Truly baffling considering what a genius businessman he is.

Is it weird, as a tail end gen x/elder millennial, to really hope Lehrer was right about this one?

Nunnally from Code Geass came to mind… but then again you said realistic setting so she probably doesn’t qualify.

There’s a thousand mile expanse of woods and bullshit across the northern states where you could just walk through the forests into Canada.

I’ve always wanted to get eaten by a moose.

a salad is feminine while steak is masculine?

When has a 90s cartoon ever been wrong?
