Real stoners have too much self respect to drink canna beverages

Real drinkers have too much self respect to drink hard seltzers.

I will vote the presidential candidate who will bring us more of the Gleaming the Cube cinematic universe.

Hell yeah! Not enough BMX/skateboarding in today’s pop culture.

Alternative joke: ‘The Bear Season 4’

This sounds like the plot of a bad 80s movie.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

‘But Mack’ you’re thinking ‘these folks are more connected. Surely they know more about this than you do.’ lol okay. If there’s one thing I’ve learned living in DC it’s that reality hews a lot closer to Veep than it does The West Wing.

An entire subset of people have decided to jettison their candidate in less time than I spend researching a major purchase. Feels to me like that’s not necessarily the best approach or indicative of particularly inspiring leadership!

What is known? He an old man with a speech impediment that was up past his bedtime. Does it look bad? Absolutely! But you know what looks worse? Choosing the most chaotic path forward with as little information as possible.

The debate was precisely one (1) week ago. In that time, the Democratic coalition has absolutely worked themselves into a shoot based, as far as I can tell, on vibes alone. Has Biden declined cognitively? Who’s to say, I just know that a week is not enough time to do anything but confirm priors.

A prominent group of political donors, civic leaders and business executives founded to protect the institutions of American democracy sent a letter Friday morning to President Biden calling on him to “cement your legacy” by ending his bid for reelection.

Business leaders, pro-Democracy activists send letter asking Biden to withdrawwapo.st The letter sent to the White House is the latest outreach from the donor and activist community pushing for a new nominee after the president’s debate performance.

As an undecided voter, my reaction to Biden being old is to put my support behind the other guy who is as old and visibly prone to mental lapses, and who likes to do a little bit of fascism, as a treat.

President Biden, who at 81 is the oldest person ever to hold the office, has displayed signs of accelerated aging in recent months, said numerous aides, foreign officials, members of Congress and others who interacted with Biden over the last 3½ years.

Biden’s aging is seen as accelerating, lapses described as more commonwapo.st Aides, foreign leaders, donors and members of Congress say Biden has seemed slower and more often loses his train of thought in recent months, though close aides insist he remains mentally sharp

Having a Friday that feels like a Monday is cruel.

Not sure who is/isn’t familiar with Games Done Quick on here, but this biannual charity marathon is always a delightful and not least of all because of moments like this.

The best thing to happen yesterday (a low bar to clear but still) was a dog named Peanut Butter winning a game of SNES Ken Griffey Baseball in under 30 minutes at the Games Done Quick convention -- in a 12th inning walkoff, no less.

I 100% believe that Biden is out of it but I read the Nuzzi thing and it’s awfully breathless for a story that doesn’t have a whole lot of direct quotes in it.

Friend: What do you like to do for fun? Me: I like to skeet with my fellow Bluesky elders. Friend: Homer backing into the hedge.gif

do you know who I am 14 kittens in a trenchcoat? from *bluesky*? oh sure suddenly you don't know what any of those words mean, very convenient

I wrote about a beautiful movie called Janet Planet. The sort of quiet movie where nothing happens and also everything happens.

'Janet Planet' is an Evocative and Heartfelt Wonder (Review)www.metroweekly.com "Janet Planet" captures the nuanced rhythms of everyday life through the eyes of a young girl in western Massachusetts.

If he slept until 10am and then just watched cable news all day like his predecessor, he’d have all the energy in the world.

President Biden told a gathering of Democratic governors that he needed to sleep more and to work less at night, but said he was staying in the race.

Biden Tells Governors He Needs More Sleep and Less Work at Nightwww.nytimes.com The president’s opening remark to a group of key Democratic leaders — that he was in the race to stay — chilled any talk of his withdrawal, participants said.

First they came for redtube, and I did not speak out because I did not watch redtube. Then they they came for xvideos, and I did not speak out because I did not watch xvideos. Then they came for Brazzers—and there was no one left to speak for me.

if Biden wants to win, he's gotta spread the word about this far and wide for everyone to hear "They wanna take away your Pornhub and your OnlyFans! They don't want you jackin' off! I heard they're coming for xHamster. Come on, man!"

It’s fitting my fantasy baseball team is choosing today of all days to revolt against me, the commissioner/king.

It's a propaganda site. By going there you are absorbing propaganda chosen by an evil billionaire. Maybe you think you are a very special boy who, unlike other human beings, is immune to being influenced by propaganda so it's okay!

real twitter you could pretty tightly curate what you saw and vichy twitter it’s like being stuck on your dipshit uncle’s facebook page

My wife: ‘did you know her son was drafted in the first round by the nationals? His name was Lucas *pause to double check the pronunciation* Giolito?’ I then proceed to give her a rundown of his career as she nods politely.

Felt like I had a very important night for me, culturally. Finally watched (the original) The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (as enjoyable as expected), and watched an episode of Frazier where I learned the love interest was played by Lucas Giolito’s mom.
