My ex uses it, which is a fantastic reason for me not to lol

If it helps, my kid interprets aura as “looking badass” or performing badass deeds depending on context.

the thing about bad apples is that there is an entire second half of that idiom

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Don’t forget the secret 4th episode of Sherlock season 3.

Being a #Mariners fan is like waiting for the other shoe to drop at all times.

“Up by 6? Cool. Can’t wait to see how we mess it up.”
“What do you mean we won.”
“What do you mean we scored again too.”
“I’m sorry, we’re up by two games in the ALCS now?”

The fuuuuuck.

I literally stopped paying attention once we were up 9-3. I love the Mariners, but by god. I could not take a 7 run fuckup that could feel coming.

Can't explain the story of the 2025 Mariners without mentioning: Dumper, Etsy Witch or Humpy.

That is a sane and correct sentence.

Mina Kimes @minakimes.bsky.social · 4d

Man. Humpy really did that shit.

Welcome to being a fan since 1994, and not knowing if you’re ever going to win or lose a game.

And being used to it.

Brandon Masters @mastersthepen.bsky.social · 22h

I mean, we are the goofball team. So calling us the Ken is fitting.

Brandon Masters @mastersthepen.bsky.social · 22h

I was gonna say, as someone there for 115, it was *something*.

You missed the 3 pitch stint from Jamie Moyer in the 23rd. It was a delight.

Rewatched THE FOG (1980) for the first time in years and I now think it’s a 10/10.

Incredible atmosphere and patience. Phenomenal use of a big cast, great pacing and really fantastic effects.

I can’t believe I used to think this was a lesser Carpenter.

I am, tragically working. But since we’re normally closed today and the higher ups decided we should be open, we’re earning double pay.

$50/hour to basically do nothing is amazing. Is this what techbros feel like!
