Uhm...

Nasty bug

I think we should encourage Republicans to eat three meals a day at Cheesecake Factory every day between now and Election Day. I think it would solve a lot of problems.

BTW, I think if you watch the video (I know, it's like sticking an awl in your ear), I think there's a racist subtext in the former slumlord's comments here. No surprise, I'm just saying I think that's what he's signaling here. I wish this guy never got out of Queens.

The difference between the Trump White House and a Cheesecake Factory is if I somehow had a choice between going to one or the other, I'd pick the latter. Besides, Obama didn't say it was a Cheesecake Factory, he said it looks like if Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. Which is true.

BTW, we were at that point in our technological development at least a hundred years ago, if not longer, yeah? German elections in 1932 and 1933 had a pretty profound effect on non-Germans, just f'r'instance.

He was great as Pavel Chekov. He was even better as Alfred Bester. Legend.

And of course this ties directly into right-wing "concerns" about education, media, etc.: it's ultimately an anxiety about alienation when even their own children don't share their values. The thing to remember, though, is their alienation is voluntary. It's entirely self-imposed.

STOP THE COUNT

It's honestly a really weird cultural signifier because it's a quite-expensive restaurant that is also self-consciously populist and tacky bsky.app/profile/lesh...

Land doesn’t vote, Cheesecake Factories do

It's funny how people both pro and anti this joke have clearly never been inside a Cheesecake Factory and don't know the interiors look like if you ordered the Palace of Versailles from Temu.

If it weren't for NATO, Putin wouldn't be a eugenicist obsessed with restoring Russia to its Stalinist-era geopolitical apex (with domestic policies to match). Damn us all, look what we made him do.

Eventually, it was decided to proceed woth the work required to deal with the One Ring Problem unofficially, as the need was pressing. It was noted wryly by all, however, that on successful completion it was reported as "magnificent work by the Council of Elrond" in internal comms.

A really cool thread on how the inherent satire in 40k has, over time, made things more complicated.

He needed better health insurance.

I mean, yes, humanity may have wrecked a perfectly fine planet, but a species that produced Shonen Knife wasn't all bad.

I think my ability to distinguish between "I am feeling weirdly anxious and low today" and "I am just a person having a totally normal reaction to being alive during the 2020s" might have completely vanished.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

I discovered I needed glasses when I failed an eye test while taking driver's ed when I was, I guess I must have been, 15. After I got the eyeglasses, it became obvious how much I'd simply not noticed most of the world being out of focus most of the time.
