For anyone on the fence about making “their private key was 4” jokes: strike while the iron is hot, you only have a Zacharia or two where they’ll land right

You know what’s a horrible moment? When your Italian Airbnb has one of the many off-brand neh-spresso machines and you go shopping to stock the airbnb and buy the capsules that look like the right shape on the box and then at 715 the next morning you discover that they’re the *slightly wrong* shape.

Me: sitting on bus, hits the stop button, gathers my bag up, does that awkward little half squat Bus: stops Lady in aisle seat: oh do you want to get off?

I might have just received the most bourgeoise email ever. The head of the board of trustees of the (private) elementary and middle school just emailed the alumni network to let us know that: they’ve engaged a consultant to lead the search for a new principal

They skimped on the bed. Why do they always skimp on the bed?

I await the Fifth Circuit faithfully enforcing the Supreme Court’s repeated rulings to not allow changes to districts too close to an upcoming lol no I can’t even finish typing that

I mean, the President’s crazy and sundowning and all, but he did manage to hit on the quite funny statistical anomaly that crime rates in Vatican City often exceed its population, since there’s like three hundred citizens and way more pickpockets preying on tourists in the Square.

For the record: I’ve only ever had casual correspondence with pedophile traffickers. I may have said I hope my emails found them well, but America can be assured I never meant it.
