my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

One time I was at McDonald's with some friends and the cashier asked my buddy what he wanted and my buddy said "Oh, I'm not having anything" and the cashier said "Probably a good idea"

still think daily about the time I was at Arby's and the person in front of me asked what the "healthy option" was, and the cashier responded "leaving"

If you can look at stuff like this and not think we need full-scale police reform (or, hey, abolition) then I don't know what to tell you.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

We've gotta make the Monorail Simpsons episode required viewing for every city councilor in the country. Every single thing he says here is a lie. A Potemkin Village Imaginarium.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

1/13 They're counting on us doing nothing. That's the whole strategy. Move quietly. Deploy the machinery. Let people find out after it's too late. Our counter: keep it front and center. Name what they're doing so nobody gets caught flat-footed. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Finished Taskmaster Series 21 last night and was disappointed to learn that across ten episodes of TV, not a single person brought up that Joanna Page was dressed like a Minion??? The ENTIRE time???

Birthright citizenship remains the law of the land. Out of many, one!

What's your kid's favorite book? Green Eggs and Ham? Yeah, that's a good one. Goodnight Moon? A classic, for sure. Oh, my kid? His is this illustrated biography of celebrated modernist painter Georgia O'Keeffe.

They should make a movie about the time I accidentally called him Elias SamPson and the pro wrestling subreddit ripped me to shreds.

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

Okay, I've thought a lot about this. If they did another swing at an American version of Taskmaster, my pitch for a line up would be: 1. Atsuko Okatsuka 2. Cedric the Entertainer 3. Chris Gethard 4. Demi Adejuyigbe 5. Kate Micucci
