Okay, so I really didn't want to "back in my day" this shit, but when the hell did a single quarter pounder with cheese go to over six dollars FOR JUST THE SANDWICH?

I was talking movies with a friend and the conversation turned to Zack Snyder doing a new Escape from NY. My friend said no one should ever remake any of Carpenter's films, that originals are always going to be better. I didn't say anything about The Thing lol

My android auto updated to use Gemini, and now it's asking me clarifying questions like we're having a conversation. Like just let me ask about historical tax expectations for circus workers and be done got damn

Imagine if a TV show parodied Trump by just making him act completely normal and unproblematic, with strong values and good policies. He would lose his fucking mind if he saw that

Annoyed by ads for the new Marathon game "from the creators of Halo." NO. Halo came from the creators of MARATHON. Marathon was the progenitor at Bungie. Master Chief wishes he was the security officer from Marathon. Cortana wishes she was Durandal. Your Marathon is not the same as my Marathon.

Looking back at some of my flash fiction submissions, and I see that three lit mags that I sent a specific combination of four flash pieces are all now defunct. So, if anyone has a grudge against a publication, let me know, because I apparently have a scythe in my "completed" folder

Played spades with a guy in the Army and called him a cheater. He threatened to knock my teeth out and told me to go learn how to play. I've since played literally thousands of hands of spades against IRL players, online opponents, or computers. And I can say now: He definitely fucking cheated

More and more, i'm convinced reality is a simulation. Ever heard of the movie Steel Dawn with Patrick Swayze? Yeah, NO ONE has but me. And it popped in my head a whole back, making me think about trying to find it once a week or so. Well I just signed up for Starz, and guess what is on there? Yeah.

Just played the funniest round of spades. My partner and I both bid nil, and our opponents bid 10 between them, with 8 sandbags already in their pocket. I hit my nil, but my partner took a trick. And the opponents took two sandbags, so everyone just ended up scoring zero

Imperial officer: "Your sad devotion to that ancient religion--" Vader: "Motherfucker, the Jedi were in partial control of the whole galaxy TWENTY YEARS AGO. You're like 40? So the people practicing this 'ancient religion' were still around for literally HALF YOUR LIFE."

I hate the phrase "encouragement sandwich" and other phrases using "_____ sandwich" in the same way, because they all treat the _____ as the bread, when a real sandwich is about what's in the middle. You don't call a piece of baloney between two pieces of bread a bread sandwich, do you?

Joseph McNeil was one of four students who staged a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960. They ignited one of the U.S. most consequential student protest movements. From left, Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, Billy Smith and Clarence Henderson.

Remember when you could dial your own phone number from your landline phone and hang up, and then it would ring, and two people who picked up the phone at the same time could talk to each other?

A student told me he needs to be absent from a class to attend an Air National Guard "super drill." I wondered what makes it a super drill and it turns out it's any drill that is longer than 2 days. Me, who never had a regular Army National Guard drill last fewer than 3:
