I really do have a great joke about David vs Goliath, but it's ruined in that no one thinks it's possible.
I keep telling people I have a great joke about Cassandra, but nobody believes me.
I told a joke about Orpheus the other day, but looking back no one thought it was funny.

This is rich coming from Disney, which has made it mandatory to remain glued on your phone so that you can manage Lightning Lanes, order meals, check ride wait times, etc.

Two thousand soldiers already there couldn't stop a shooting in one of DC's safest locations. In fact, they may have attracted it. Not sure how 500 more helps.
BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Trump administration would send hundreds of additional National Guard soldiers to the nation’s capital after two soldiers were shot in the city Wednesday.

I am legit mad that I missed Four Loko by about 4-5 years. God, we would've done so, so many stupid things.
One of my dirtbag roommates worked for an alcohol lobby group, and when Four Loko got banned, they redirected an entire pallet to our driveway. The resulting party got us evicted. Devil juice, terrible stuff.
My freshman year of college was the last of the Loko years and they sent us all an email saying effectively “Do NOT drink this, it is TOO crazy, it will make your parties TOO wild.” which had about exact the effect you would expect.

This is cursed knowledge, but good to have. You're not going crazy, prices are way, way up.

I am very, very confused how I can be expected to pay a bill 7mo after care. WTF?
