I bet the first person who imported sausages from Vienna thought something waaaay more fancy was showin' up and whatnot.

Incredible

I'm no Nietzsche expert but I imagine he'd think it was too loud

I wouldn’t call it “petty” because the crimes Trump and his enablers have committed are egregious—nothing trivial about the damage they have caused. The people want harsh punishment, which is wholly justified.

The Dodgers didn't cheat to get Skubal. Everything they've done is by regulation. They play to win. People are angry at them because the chickenshit owners of their teams don't play to win, too. So whiny. Either play to win, or shut up.

Workers who depend on gratuities are not the architects of this system, but victims of it. So, tip whatever the generally accepted minimum is, always. If you get bad service, complain to management. Servers don't have power. Tip less than 15% and there better be a severed finger in your food. 2/2

Most leadoff home runs, Dodgers history: Mookie Betts: 32 Davey Lopes: 28 Shohei Ohtani: 27

Chicago style if it's available. If not, yellow mustard (like French's) and raw diced onions

The vibe shift is upon us. Woke 9 has begun.

So wait, it's not for fancy ballroom dancing?

the situation w the dems is like hiring a contractor who says they can build a house and you sign them up and then they say "whoops cant build the house there's an anthill there." and you say, just move the fucking ant hill. and they say "tradition says we can't."

If social media was all pet photos, sporting event chatter, pop culture fun and general memes, the world would be a much nicer place. Instead, fringe political chatter and overconsumption trickle into everything and I miss forums and chatrooms, sometimes

They should put a buncha rings in Lord of the Flies and a shitload of flies in Lord of the Rings just to blow people's minds and whatnot.

Anyway. I’m glad nobody was hurt and I’m sure the journalists who attended the WHCD will not center themselves and their personal experiences and instead remain focused on holding the powerful accountable and informing the people about their government.

Donald Trump called Somalis “animals.” He said Haitians eat dogs and cats. You fucking journalists had a party with him and now you want our sympathy. Fuck off.

Slept in my Replacements shirt and...I don't know

I’ve never once in my life rooted against the USA in international competition… until now.

Today really is a banner fucking day for truly terrible non-political takes.

If you didn't catch the names in PTA's speech, the 1975 Best Picture nominees are Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, Nashville, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. There are no skips; there is no wrong place to start. They will make you love American movies anew, and demand the best from them.

Fun as hell

Amazing!

Okay. Well. Baseball.
