I regret that I am unable to favorite this post as much as I want to favorite it.

Sooo I was at a coffee shop and the girl in line behind me decided to ask if I’d heard about Jesus.

In the United States.

In 2025.

“I have heard the sales pitch, yes,” I said. “I’m happy with my current religious services provider and not looking to make a switch.”

The Dems who say that are thinking back to the way the GOP used to be; greedy assholes, which were better than the fundamentalist death cult the party has evolved into.

Nostalgia is a hell of drug.

Again, we can agree to disagree on whether the new Star Wars trilogy is good.

We can’t agree to disagree on whether various groups of humans should have basic human rights.

Keira Knightley said that before joining the voice cast of Audible's "Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio
Editions,
" she was "not aware" of the fan boycott
of all things "Harry Potter" over J.K. Rowling's statements about the transgender community:
"You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now where we're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."

After almost a week of corrected bits, yeah, #thebigyeet was DEFINITELY one of the best decisions I made in my life.

The ghost dick is merely (hilarious, and apposite for the season) lagniappe.

I don’t understand the controversy, I think it’s great that we have a holiday celebrating Christopher Columbus burning in hell.

We really need to ban automotive OTA updates.

The automaker pushed out a telematics update that evidently wasn't ready, resulting in cars losing power while driving and then becoming stranded.

Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend

Jeep has pulled the update; owners are advised to ignore it if it already downloaded.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.
