This guy on TikTok has been trying to get a hummingbird to land on his hand for two weeks now and he’s tried all kinds of stuff like pouring sugar all over his body but his latest idea has completely sent me
This is incredible. A Wisconsin bar offered free drinks if the Jets lost. After Rodgers went down, they started running up their tabs. The news was live when the jets won in overtime and everyone realized they had to pay.
First they came for Roseanne, and I said nothing, because Roseanne sucks. Then they came for Bill Maher, and I said nothing, because Bill Maher also sucks.
Stayed up last night trying to finish my bathroom floor. Watched a YouTube tutorial in desperation. In the middle of the YouTube the woman gets out her phone and watches a YouTube tutorial.
My daughter went to a sleepover and told the parents she was a vegetarian and the dad told her they have to kill more animals to make tofu than they do for beef. She asked him how tofu was made and he didn’t know.
I feel very comforted by the responses to this tweet. I’ve always wondered if I’m just being a baby about sticking things in my eyes but if I am at least I’m not alone.
I have never heard anyone ever complain about the Boston Celtics and their stereotypical mascot. If "Cleveland Indian" is offensive than so is this. But this isn't offensive to anyone with a brain and a shred of emotional maturity, and neither is Cleveland Indian.
Today my 4yo went outside with a butter knife and scratched the entire drivers side of the car. When I saw it he said “does this make you curious or does this make you mad?”
What kind of The Omen bullshit is this
One of the many sad things about Desus and Mero splitting up is they used to joke about how when they got rich and famous they’d have a falling out and split up and that shit came true
I’m betting $1,000 on the GOP holding the senate as a hedge. If they do, I win $1,000. If they don’t, I lose $1,000 and get a $2,000 stimulus check. That’s what we call +EV
6-87: Senate rejected Sanders (I-VT) motion to instruct their negotiators with the House that semiconductor manufacturing companies receiving federal aid in the science and tech research funding bill don't block their employees from unionizing and outsource their jobs.
When I was a teenager the police raided my house in the middle of the night at gunpoint looking for an armed robbery suspect. They didn’t find him and my mom screamed at the cops for scaring her kids. He was in my closet the whole time. I gave him clean clothes in the morning.

It's illegal but the penalty, IF you can prove it, is that they have to give you your job back. And it could take literally years to work its way through the NLRB before there is a decision. This is why it happens so often. There's little downside to the company.

The best way for fired union leaders to get their jobs back is for the union to win and their coworkers to demand they be hired back - which works far more often and faster than using the useless and toothless labor laws that are supposed to protect us
My kids school accidentally left a kid out of the fifth grade yearbook so they gave the kids stickers of that kid and told them to stick them over another kid who left the school before the end of the year
The Penguins announced today that the shipment carrying the Jagr bobbleheads for tonight’s game has been stolen en route to Pittsburgh.
As a result, the bobbleheads will not be distributed at tonight’s game, but will be distributed at a later date.
And we: always and everywhere spectators,
turned not toward the Open
but to the stuff of our lives.
It downs us. We set it in order.
It falls apart. We order it again
and fall apart ourselves.
Seems appropriate that this game about constant tedious and mindless work in service of climbing out of immense financial debt is now also about electoral politics
SCOOP: The Biden-Harris campaign is rolling out official yard signs for Animal Crossing: New Horizons today. It's part of the campaign's broader initiative to meet voters where they are online.
Some context for this bit: when Letterman went to CBS he had a deal that granted him ownership of his show. While Leno was an NBC employee, Letterman paid his writers himself. He agreed to the union's proposals and they stayed on while everyone else was struck.
When The Ringer asked me to write about GameStop, I went looking for someone to profile who wasn't from WallStreetBets, someone who was in early, someone like the Brownfield guys from The Big Short. I found

It’s shameful enough to cross the picket line but to brag about it seems particularly cruel and gross. Not sure who you’re hoping to impress with this
@BenSasse
the difference between America and most nations across history is we get to make up whatever happy horseshit we want to believe about our past
Congratulations to all the people who took a proud and principled stand against guaranteeing health care as a right to all citizens because it would cost too much money. The future is yours. Go forth and prosper.
Bret Stephens is doing that whole “bet you won’t say it to my face” thing but if anyone did say it to his face he’d write a column about the left using violence to intimidate him or whatever
I’m catching up on Mare of Easttown and I’m pleased to see they are continuing the long proud tradition of tv shows depicting small towns with several media outlets and large press conferences for local news
Jason Rapert preaching about not being a “slave to fear” during a maskless service in arkansas weeks ago. Today he’s in the hospital with COVID-19 and pneumonia
I wrote about “5dimes Tony” aka Sean Creighton, a West Virginian who went to Costa Rica and became a major international bookmaker. Last year he was kidnapped and hasn’t been seen since.
My 5yo got in trouble for saying "deez nuts" to kids on the bus today and Katie is currently downstairs explaining to him what deez nuts means.
"deez like these."
"these testicles?"
"Yes. These testicles. It isn't very funny, is it?"
"It's kinda funny."
It was only because of a planned film adaptation of Lucky that this man was exonerated. One of the films producers began to doubt he was guilty and hired a private investigator. Absolutely incredible.

I’m sorry you went to college and felt uncomfortable. I dream of a world where no college student ever has to feel uncomfortable ever again.
My old boss sent me a dm on Facebook saying she was fifth in line to get my book at the library. Now don’t get me wrong I love libraries. But if you never let me use my PTO, took credit for all my ideas and then said no when I asked for a raise, I think you should pay full list
