From a real estate listing: "Owner has painted and replaced carpets." Well, duh. Painted carpets look terrible, and feel like walking on Legos.

ICE nowhere shows its pathetic incompetence than by all the shoving they do. It’s amateurish, childish, playground/bar fight aggression. There are ways to arrest people safely and ways to do crowd control but they get into slap fights.

It is not an exaggeration at all - at all - to compare this to how segregationist terrorists would murder peaceful civil rights activists and then their political and civilian allies would immediately laugh about it.
It’s the exact same moral and policy cadence

I am in possession of a secret memo that states that I am allowed to walk into any bank vault and take any money I want, plus calories don't count for me, and a third thing that's not gross but I can't say it out loud. The actual legal reasoning is in a different memo, which is double-plus-secret.

Mop of the World, an ancient artifact passed from one minimum-wage worker to another but which tragically cannot be used because it is paired with a dead wringer. The only one who can fix it is the Spell Czech, but they only do magic on their job at Euro Disney, a currency-themed amusement park.

Cannot wait until Denmark invokes Article V because of the U.S. invasion of Greenland. In order to sort out the possible conflict between aggressors and defenders, can I suggest we split NATO into groups such as "Shirts v Skins" or "stripes v. solids"??

Usually reporters harp on the hit-and-run aspect in pedestrian crashes. So, why haven’t any put that phrase in the headline for stories about the collision in downtown Hartford last night?

I stood on a corner waiting for the light. A group of three people were across the street also waiting. They were dressed in similar colors, shades of dark brown. Just for a second my brain said that looks like an AI palette. Then I reminded myself I don’t live in the matrix. As far as I know.

Trump team workshopping insulting name for new NYC Mayor, but Trump keeps suggesting “sexy Mamdani” for him; has to be wrestled away from phone before he invites mayor to sleepover. Aides rush to assure public “he’s still super racist but he does does have a thing for people half his age.”

I have been informed that Toyotathon is still going on. The sales crew are beyond pair and exhaustion now; they stumble across the showroom floor, desiring only the sweet release of death, but how to stop is one of the many things they have forgotten, along with family, God, and joy.
