Area Man

So, jobs. Nobody’s ever said to me, ‘What would it take to make you happy?” Today I countered and they accepted. Good feeling.

[I get home to find a note on the refrigerator that says "I'm leaving and i'm taking the kids"] me: [unplugs fridge from power outlet] you're not going anywhere, you piece of shit

Anyone even remotely interested in Atari probably thought at one time or another, “Here’s what I would do if I owned the company.” And after a few years, I’m not sure I’d do too much different. It’s really something to behold.

💯 At least what the former Atari Games developed.

I’m not the religious type, but I’m a man of my word. Met someone on the street and gave him a few bucks for a charity that was helping him. Said I’d spread the word, so here goes. If you’re in the NOVA area and know someone who needs help, pass it on.

I’m sure he’s going to do a bang-up job. I’d gladly cut my nose off to spite my face if this sanctimonious prick came calling.

Nature is healing.

Fascinating read. Made me question whether I’ve been too complacent about all of this *waves hands*.

Today I fulfilled a dream.

Season XII, Episode 31 in the popular series, "Nothing Bad That Republican Voters Do Is Ever Their Fault."

Ghostbusters?

ICE Agent Injured After Repeatedly Trying To Detain People In Neighborhood Mural

Bob Dylan’s popularity was failing... until a legendary boozy dinner with a rock legend - MOJO @joshtpm.bsky.social, thought you’d appreciate.

We need a billionaire to resurrect The Washington Star and staff it with the folks that just got laid off.

I’m going with, “Dishonorable Discharge”.

Every hour of every day it’s some fucking thing with this administration. Sometimes it’s just annoying and sometimes it’s horrific. And it’s not like this nation didn’t know. We chose this, a second time.

A goddamn hero.

My home river is the Shenandoah at Bluemont, VA.

It is your civic duty to freedom of the press to Streisand the heck out of this 60 minutes report about CECOT so here's another place you can watch it and pass it around www.thereset.news/p/breaking-h...

As it should be.

How many of you knew about Night Rider’s older brother? No one? Not surprising. Apparently he was a trucker with an eye for the ladies. Oh, and he’s on the run from a bear. A bear that’s also a state trooper.

Aside from inviting the most polarizing person on the planet and all-round jackass, McDonalds really kicked their franchise employees in the teeth. Gotta’ think many (most?) are immigrants, or one degree removed.

dont sleep on fusion. fusion has the juice. look at this shit. impeccable sci fi vibe. alien curvature for reasons u wouldnt understand bc u dont know what poincare sections of the plasma beam are. it's even greebled with ports and domes and shit. u can tell the physics nerds are really cooking here

OK, let’s run the play! Epstein on one, Epstein on two…

I was listening to a podcast yesterday when an otherwise intelligent man said to Eric Schmitt, former CEO of Google, that he wanted to “milk him for a quote”. Felt pretty awkward to me.

If John Roberts has any shame, he should realize he’s backed himself into this exact corner.

That feeling when you haven’t checked your email for a few days and an avalanche of junk mail is barreling toward you.

The newer VCS is great. I own one and love it for what it is. Obviously Atari is winding it down, which makes sense. But why throw the baby out with the bath water? Atari OS has value and could port to a future +-series console to give it more depth. What say you @atari.com? #atari

Claim: He’s 34. True: It’s time to get your shit together.” Ughhh. That one hits a little too close to home.

Thanks O-Bummer!!!

A small nuclear explosion was just detected somewhere in the Bluesky-sphere 👇

Trent Reznor wrote a whole song about this! Head Like a Hole, anyone?

My vote is for him to convince everyone he’s Mike Johnson and take over the House of Representatives.

Then they deserve all of the losses that are coming to them.

Either they go for broke, or they’re done, and a lot of them will be going to jail.

Loudoun County’s @pattonoswalt.bsky.social is showing up for his Hometown candidate @johnmcauliff.bsky.social, running for House of Delegates in the Piedmont. This video has been airing in the district, and now we’re taking it to social media to rally our neighbors to show up strong on Election Day!

Don’t ever let Trump tell you he’s “renovated” anything. He destroys things and replaces them. Aside from objectively bad taste, he has no perception of historic value or context.

Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy would be pissing his pants.

Now they’re gonna’ have an SUV? It’s a mystery to me why Stellantis doesn’t just fold Ram back into Dodge. www.thedrive.com/news/ram-is-...
