I want to live in a world where dudes don’t make shit/diarrhea/#2/IBS jokes at me.
Aside from being completely unoriginal, it’s just not good comedy.
Also, I’m a lady and I don’t need to take a shit to review toilet paper.

Forty and more years later, teachers in certain Minneapolis* high schools were still hitting students. They got away with it because they were a religious institution, called it spanking, and used a misinterpretation from their sacred text in order to justify it. +

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

When the political discussions get to be too much today, just tell your family about that fucking weirdo who posts about toilet paper. Can you believe what she said about the State Fair’s TP? And she’s a woman! On my good Christian internet?!
Absolutely disgusting.

If you have relatives with long covid and will be seeing them tomorrow (or won’t be because they have long covid) please spread the word about this trial of tirzepatide for LC. I’m enrolled, the anecdotes I hear from patients on it for other reasons are very encouraging.
There are >800 LoCITT-T participants, & >200 people who are eligible & just need to take one more step to claim their spot.
There's time for new folks to join!
We're particularly hoping to enroll folks from ND, MS, & PR & more BIPOC participants:

Their talking during the movie is the whole draw of the show! Their snide remarks are often gold. #MST3K
The next day, the entire answering machine tape was filled with calls. Some callers chided Joel for talking during the movie but most callers were excited, with one demanding “More! More! More!” Happy to have a hit, the station decided to make it a weekly show... and the rest is history.

Surprisingly to many, I dislike whipped cream. The only time I remember trying it & liking it was the no-doubt real/freshly made variety @ a Cap City Diner restaurant here in #ColumbusOH (shoutout to #CameronMitchellRestaurants). So I've always (nearly always?) had it whip-free—& liked it that way.😇
Pumpkin pie is the best pie IMHO, YMMV (seriously people YMMV . . . or go on and argue about pie, there are worse things to argue about, have fun with it).
Lately I've gone wild and had it without any whipped cream and it's still great.
