Lisbon airport really doesn’t like having people there, does it?

Spent the night drinking gin, shooting tequila, and dancing with a horde of baby Brazilians.

I’m sure tomorrow Melle won’t be unhappy at all when she has to get up early to go to the airport. 👍

Last night a hot gay man 20 years younger than I am told
me at dinner that I looked flawless, so if you need me, I will be feeling superior and not talking to you.

I know a guy with STAY and DOWN knuckle tattoos, and he did not collapse with mirth when I made a dog training joke. So reader, I did not marry him.
I named my fists Pride and Prejudice, because it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of two fists must be in want of whupping ass
I named my fists Common and Sense because I'm about to bring the Paine

OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.

The Black Friday inundation has been going on for so long that it literally only occurred to me a moment ago that it's actually today.

Nobody tell him about sledding on farms, where the risk at the bottom was often fence posts and either barbed wire or electric. 😂

Though our place was flat, so we towed the toboggan with an ATV. If you could hang on while being whipped THROUGH snowbanks with my brother driving? Invincible. 💪
I’m sorry but I can’t stop laughing, yeah we would sled down hills in the winter with whatever we had on hand, toboggans, crazy carpets, tubes 😂 someone always got injured because of jumps on the hills or wipeouts #Canada

Upon burning my finger while making dinner, I could hear my mother in my head saying I needed to run it under cold water or put ice on it to "get the heat out."

Although, per folk science, it's winter, so our blood gets thicker to keep us warm. Would that prevent drawing the heat out? 😂

This stuff is awesome. Smells amazing and my skin slurps it down like a hen party into margaritas.

Can’t remember where I saw the reco, so if it was here, THANK YOU.

My Mom (grandma) asked the kids what they want for Christmas, and my niece said she wants three Edible Arrangements.

I got her a big one for her Grade 8 graduation (which was mid-pandemic, so kinda sucky) and apparently it’s lived rent-free in her head ever since. 😂

Today I spoke with genuine human young people and learned that they have email addresses AND carry wallets.

Striking a blow against social media misinformation. 💪
