She’s a lowgrade Mormon Insta-fluencer now & I can’t believe I missed my chance to make her cry in real life. (She was actually a very nice person but I’m still mad.)
(Probably should have devoted myself to making her parents cry.)

My friends who knew about it when it happened even knew they couldn’t tell me in real time! I found out a decade+ later.

The parents of a Mormon girl in my class wrote a note so she didn’t have to read or do any assignments on The French Lieutenant’s Woman in AP English. It affected me not at all & I’m still pissed about it.

What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.

And how long has it been?

I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.

I’m still FURIOUS.

“Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.”

Incredible, timeless advice.

Also; don’t. talk to cops. If you get arrested, shut the fuck up.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

In addition to, you know, everything else about Alaska, parts of it are also plagued with earthquakes? Why do any non-indigenous people live there?

He was incredibly good on Dexter! Part of that was the value add of playing against type, but that’s just another plus in the Choice of Role column.

The thing that you wanna reinforce on a date is that you don’t serial kill

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

ceej @ceej.online · Apr 28

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

Her fiancé at the time, who “found” her, is the nephew of one of PA’s most powerful lawyers who is also a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of PA.

The uncle entered the apartment the day after her death & removed all the electronic devices (laptops, phones) belonging to them.

The thing about “city cops are wary of mayoral candidate” stories is those cops don’t live or vote there so you don’t have to care what they think.

You should have to pass a basic competency test to shop at any of the grocery stores near me. Not one of the people I’m routinely cursed to encounter could do it.

the two types of racist are food racist and sex racist. all racists fall into these two categories. hitler? sex racist. mussolini? food racist.

stephen miller? sex racist. jd vance? food racist.

despite being racist about food sometimes, donald trump is a sex racist

Food racism drives you crazy faster than most forms of racism

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.
