more millennials need to watch The Apartment (1960) to find relatable content like what if you hated too many ads before your shows what if you had to rent your place that was too much of your paycheck out to your bosses so they could have affairs, and they kept promising to put in a good word

my stepmom had a stroke earlier this year but nothing can stand in her way when it comes to her true passion: making up mean nicknames for republican politicians and using them as if everyone already knows them. she had "juvenile delinquent vance" in the chamber ready for today

richard simmons and dr ruth were the butt of constant jokes but in retrospect they were probably two of the best people in american public life in the 1980s

I used to work at 7-11 and an important secret is: we let people any amount of liquid nacho cheese on anything for any reason. Put it on your fried chicken. Mix it in your slurpee. God cannot see you. The only law is Thelemic and the only limit is what your punished body can take.

the real October surprise will be Biden legalizing cannabis, smoking a fat blunt live on TV, and then going on a gaffe-filled ramble about how weed has changed his life and its made him super mellow but he's also been baked for all public appearances since 2018. this explains why he cant talk good.

funniest trump admin bit was tht he appointed noted weed hater jeff sessions as AG who was SALIVATING to crush the permissive legal regime that grew up under obama, but a colorado republican senator got trump's ear for 5 min and he was already mad at sessions abt russia stuff so he didn't let him
Project 2025 would include banning legal weed, right? We should talk about that one a *lot*

Elon figures he’s like two GOP administrations away from making it a hate crime for women to refuse his seed

when you come at the king ... you say it's up to him, mill around aimlessly like lost sheep saying someone should do something, freeze some but not all of his money, and most of all, give disgruntled anonymous statements to reporters

if I were Dean Phillips I would be unable to comment, too haunted by the revelation that a lot of Democrats *do* have deep reservations about Biden but my vibes were just too fucked for them to consider me
