Lmao I’m so proud of this stupid joke

A screenshot of a Signal chat.

Me- There's a Yoga Barre class at the gym but I hear it's no picnic

Me- The instructor knows a lot about anatomy so she teaches while she goes. It's much smarter than the average Barre class

My buddy- BOO THIS MAN

Me- YOU MEAN BOO BOO THIS MAN

My buddy- АААААААН *erupts in flames*

Subbing for this teacher today and the urge to demolish the east wing of this model to match current reality is overwhelming

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

just this perpetual cycle where the tech press helps zuck pretend he's innovative and interesting, he falls flat on his ass after setting billions in boomer ad money on fire, then all his employees pay the price for him being a pointless, unremarkable dipshit

Some of the spikes I’ve seen in red states are from like $300 a month to $2300 a month. I’m not sure “holding their nose and paying” is gonna even be an option

Between a bunch of military not getting paid for the shutdown and spiking grocery and energy prices here in OK, a ton of local food banks are *already* struggling and it hasn’t even hit yet.

It’s gonna get ugly.

Is it "trench warfare" if you're the only one in the trenches, lobbing grenades at yourself, your feet slowly rotting from fungal infection, while everyone else is just merrily skeeting about jewel-heisting the Louvre?

NEW: Inside the Trump Administration's Bluesky Invasion

Spoke with some administration officials who said the move was about "reaching new audiences." It's amounted to trench warfare.

There’s a comedian who has a line like “I went to an all girls catholic school, which means two things:

One, I have a discipline fetish, and two, I have a thing for Jewish guys.

I mean, he was the only dude around. All ripped and angsty up there. What was I supposed to do?”

Image of an old newspaper that reads

Man Stabbed With Apology
SAN FRANCISCO (INS) - Lawrence Bridges, 32, San Francisco Municipal Railway bus driver, reported to police that he was stabbed by a man who then leaned over him and salon, pardon me, I thought you were Jerry."
He was stabbed twice, in the cheek and shoulder, as he walked on Sutter Street near Fill-more. He will recover.

the best part of the NYC mayoral race is of course Zohran

but a close second is watching everyone on the left adopt Curtis Sliwa as our Problematic Uncle Who Also Really Hates Andrew Cuomo

Peter Sterne @petersterne.com · 3d

New York Post editorial board calls on Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa to drop out to boost independent candidate Andrew Cuomo: nypost.com/2025/10/20/o...

Swallow the bitter pill, Curtis Sliwa — quit the race to stop Zohran Mamdani

It’s time for Curtis Sliwa to face reality, and admit that the city’s best hope to avoid the disaster of a Zohran Mamdani mayoralty is for him to drop out of the race.
