Rick Steves does not give one single shit about pissing off the current thugs in the oval bunker. He may be the leader you blue Americans need to get your courage back.

I like him.

lol, this rag + Chris Lambie (‘idle’ ain’t it)

An excerpt from the article reads, “A self-described Katy Perry super fan isn’t particularly pleased former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau is making fireworks with his pop idle.”

No, I’m not logging into something with new credentials on a holiday long weekend after indicating (twice) that I’m unavailable.

No wonder people go off. The constant badgering, jaysus. I’m gen x: I can & will ignore things.

I can drag him to see The Cure with me many, many times for this amount of money (and I will).

I would love to take my fella to see Rush, but there’s zero chance I’d pay north of $2500 to make this happen.

My word. 😳

No tears shed for Ian Watkins, though. That piece of garbage can rot in whatever swamp puked him up.

She was so compelling to watch. Sad that she was so young.

I wrote AD for a Diane Keaton film just recently. She had such a marvellous big personality. Only 79. 🙁

I’m overwhelmed today, so I’ll just sit here and browse recipes on my phone while avoiding eye contact with the to-do list on my fridge.

Oh, oopsie. Hope these unfunny twats pay attention to a concept the rest of us enjoy called, “consequences.”

This belongs on a t-shirt (that no one would wear because Holyday, ew).

IG is hiding replies from women indicating that the photogs should be paid. Trash socials.

Sally T 🎞️ + 📺 + ⌨️ @sallyjaybee.bsky.social · 6d

A band I love is seeking women & nb photogs to shoot a leg of their tour, but it’s unpaid (for “exposure” lol).

All the young things commenting on IG are like, “sick, cool, amazing” and chirpy old fecker me is like, “pay artists, you cheap arseholes.” Love when women ‘get’ to work for free.

I mean, any loud phone conversation (or video sans headphones) on transit should be a hard no.

We’re all unwilling captive audiences these days, and it’s noise pollution.

Mike-ghoul Half-man @michaelhoffman.bsky.social · 7d

Why do people feel like having loud, angry phone conversations on transit? Apart from bothering everyone else, do they not care about everyone else knowing their business?
