This is every Sims legacy house I build, just room tacked onto room, each more confusing in their uses than the last.

UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

The best phrase I get to use regularly at work is "we have a mutual customer." It makes me feel important and makes the other agent more relaxed because they don't have to deal with an actual customer for the next 5-15 minutes.

Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam
if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

I'd write random bible verses on my hat to gain a competitive advantage. I want the hitter thinking "why does he care so much about the proscription of shellfish?"

Forgot to do a costume for Halloween, but I'm not going anywhere and not expecting trick-or-treaters. I threw on a jersey. If anyone asks, I'm doing the world's laziest Jordan Mailata cosplay.

Linguistics killjoy here: they're both "correct" inasmuch as any word has a fixed correct pronunciation. Being a pedant about how to pronounce "biopic" is as grating as debating the pronunciation of "caramel".
Everyone talks about biopics. But how do they say “biopic”?
It’s One of Our Most Controversial Genres. But Even More Controversial Is How You Pronounce It.
We have reached Peak Biopic—but still no one agrees on how you say the word.
