Election Officials Warn That Ballots Tied To Stray Cat Unlikely To Arrive In Time https://theonion.com/election-officials-warn-that-ballots-tied-to-stray-cat-unlikely-to-arrive-in-time/

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

So, the middle tier of management is always in a bit of a rough position in any company, because if they work well, it usually just means things continue to function. That’s not a super glorious place to be. But that does make for a soft target for AI job replacement. No one minds fewer managers!

A Lula win is great news for those of us who enjoy breathing air, and will probably save several species from extinction

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

The Cheesecake Factory “controversy” is nice because it’s a rerun of the exact kind of stupid shit we had to sit through every day of the Obama administration. Now Zoomers don’t have to feel left out of having their own Obama “controversy” to reference.

your yearly PSA: want to do something positive wrt the ecosystem while saving yourself a bunch of time and effort? skip the bagging and just rake leaves into a pile wherever convenient (bonus points if you do it under a tree). www.nps.gov/articles/000...

the point of cheesecake factory is it's classy AND fancy AND trashy AND goofy. staff in fresh-pressed restaurant whites but half the menu items are cheeseburgers. you look equally normal eating there in a suit or in jorts. kris jenner filmed a music video there. it's the fever dream of John Everyman

Cheesecake Factory made a bold artistic choice and provoked a genuine emotion in the viewer. Love it or hate it, decorating a cheesecake restaurant to look like a pre-Sumerian ziggurat worshipping a cosmic squid is the core of what it means to be human

Tbh I don't think anyone on earth is offended by Obama saying that a gold plated cheesecake factory would be tacky. This is not actually something anyone is bothered by.

Small-dollar donations to Republican candidates are just apocalyptic. Selected examples here. Our forecasting research found in-state individual contributions are a strong predictor of results. Way stronger than PAC spending! votehub.com/2026/10/24/2...

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

calling trump “incompetent” alone would’ve been enough to trigger him, but “he’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” is what will truly send him over the edge (gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/u...)

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

I feel like all the Bioware retrospectives have not yet dwelt enough on what an absolute watershed Femshep was in terms of female playable protagonists

on some level, this is just a form of anti-politics.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

Things that are now left-coded in the US: - looking out for your neighbors - knowing about sports - drinking beer - THE US MARINES

somehow I missed this post the first time around but it is incredibly accurate

Billionaires throw a fit at the idea of an annual wealth tax... but literally everyone else already pays one via property taxes (either directly as a homeowner or secondarily as a renter). The only reason securities aren't taxed the same is because that's where the rich keep most of their wealth.

Over public dissents from Justices Thomas and Alito, #SCOTUS *denies* the Trump administration’s request for emergency relief in the transgender federal prisoner medical care case—leaving in place lower court rulings requiring the continuing provision of care for gender dysphoria.

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

these really demolished rokos basilisk for me personally, and a lot of other things

it’s really telling how Tommy refuses, even when pushed, to say why he wants El-Sayed to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood even though everyone in the room knows the reason these guys are almost all cowards in person
