there are 70 million people for whom this is the biggest song in the world. they watch comedies called like "Wives of Jim" that have run for nine seasons. they're usually pretty affable in person. in 2024 they severed the fate of humanity because of egg prices

“Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley officially surpasses “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey as the longest-running #1 hit in history (23 weeks).

"Lake America" instantly just absolutely clogged with algae. Six uniformed National Guard guys standing on a beach dumping windex into it. It smells like a turtle tank.

my suggestion is Carney picks a random blue jays game, we collectively drink all the American booze left in the country while watching them ground into nine double plays, and then we drunkenly sing O Canada at midnight in a moment of national unity. vote Fulemin for more great ideas like Spite Night

my new idea for time zones. whenever you wake up, that's 9 am. and whenever you go to sleep that's 9 pm. time is no longer a fixed point. you can follow the sun or you can follow your heart. the choice is yours

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.

Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video. The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.
