Can someone give me like one sentence to explain why people are talking about a new influx of Twitter users today? I mean I know the general reason, but did something specific happen today?

Google...thank you. I was trying to look up if Butthole Surfers are from Texas, for the record.

Google search bar with "are butthol" and the autocomplete suggestion "are buttholes and lips the same skin"

They are usually pretty fun. When I lived in St. Louis I went to some Ferguson protests solo and always had a good time. It can be invigorating to be around a lot of people who share the same general goals and beliefs as you.

They're going to have to score more than one run per game, they should be able to do it. They're good

There is no fix. Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy.

I used to be a Work Comp attorney and they have a chart of body parts with different values for how much they are "worth" in disability. High number is worth more. I always felt like all the leg parts are undervalued. Still based on my experience back (body as a whole) is definitely the worst.

That would be awesome. Hell I'd go for Nate Hybl at this point

Why Do You Write Like This? That Is Not The Normal Or Proper Way To Write, Plus It Requires A Lot Of Extra Effort.

He obviously didn't get where he needed to be. It's not his fault though, of course he wanted to play. Venables is a loser and needs to go.

A guy who was the mascot in 1998 is found to be the mascot in 2025? Sounds like a recipe for disaster

I still remember my sixth grade girlfriend's (she's dead now). These days I know my wife's and my sister's and that's it.

Also I kind of like Wood but it seems like she is probably going to regret writing that one in a few years

Going to retire The Life of a Showgirl after today. Final verdict: it's ok. Better than TTPD. I might like the music a little more than Midnights but the lyrics are pretty bad throughout which brings it down. Overall not going to do much to stop her slide into irrelevance.

Never seen it. I think of it as being the same as The Breakfast Club and First Wives Club, also movies I haven't seen.

The Streets - Original Pirate Material. Man that album sucked

Marie Phillips @mariephillips.bsky.social · 6d

What albums does everyone regret buying? Loads for me, but the one that really sticks in my mind is K by Kula Shaker, which I forced myself to listen to joylessly several times in the desperate attempt to convince myself I hadn’t wasted my money, and still get cringes of regret about 29 years later.

Joe Scaramangaaaaarrrrrggghhh!🎃 @joescaramanga.co.uk · 6d

It's one of the few albums I regret buying.
I'll Manage Somehow and Stardust are fine. The rest is mostly forgettable.

Screenshot of lyrics from Heroin Girl by Everclear

I heard a policeman say
Just another overdose
Just another overdose!

In the song he says the last line all incredulously like he can't believe the cop would say that

Is the miniseries good? I have some interest in knowing about it but I don't ever see myself reading the book

Would have rather seen the Phillies beat the Dodgers but otherwise this is all good

Brewers. Christian Yelich looks like what I imagine Bugs Meany to look like
