@MaxPreps @AndrewPetcash The West Coast really does look like it’s full of uninhabitable farmland 🤷‍♀️

The West Coast really does look a bit thin on schools out there. 😳👀 (via @AndrewPetcash)

@ahardtospell Literally the producer of the first Dune movie turned down GL because he thought Dune would be more marketable. P sure he later conceded they now exist in the same universe (same spice mines)

Here’s the thing about “Star Wars ripped off ____” discourses. They’re all correct. George Lucas ripped off so many different things and put them in a blender to make something that loops all the way around to being original.

@ChrisExpTheNews @Historycourses And it still exists as one, Messianic Jews

@Historycourses Yeah the modern political/rhetorical baggage annoys me, but like, it's a really handy term for referring to early Christianity in particular, and those inextricably shared beliefs and practices. There's been divergence over time, sure, but Christianity started as a Jewish sect

I know people don't like this for political reasons, but "Judeo-Christian" is in fact the best term to use to refer to those parts of Christian culture and thought that are built on the bedrock of the Old Testament (in other words, most of it).

Happy Spring Everybody

@robbertleusink Didn’t the Dirch also have a huge impact on Mexican food? Like introducing cabbage and onion or something like that?

You associate carrots with their orange colour because Dutch farmers decided it should be Before the 16th century, carrots were black, purple, white, red, and yellow Farmers in Hoorn found a mutant orange strain and bred it into consistency through selective hybridisation They made orange the default Then exported it to every kitchen on earth The Dutch didn't conquer with armies They also decided what your carrots look like

@BrettRedacted But only one of them is a club member at Bohemian Grove

Conan’s ubiquity on the internet is a stark reminder that I’ve never once seen anybody share a clip from Jay Leno

My mom in the 90s: Satanists have tunnels underground where they sacrifice kids. Me: Mom, you’re crazy. Me, a mom in 2026:

@spandrell4 Keep joking to my husband that our empty-nester eurotrip will be to New Persia in 20 years lol

In a better world Iran is the hub between Europe and East Asia and we all do our layovers in Isfahan instead of Dubai

@Riley_Gaines_ Is this the first state to offer one full year of paid leave?

okay I know this guy called mothers "inseminated persons" not long ago, but I actually support this

The evolution of the White House over the last 250 years..

@GovBobFerguson Great, on top of all the other crap legislation, we are about to become a farm for predators trying to get in women’s spaces (because this will inevitably be used maliciously, no matter what benefit could be perceived).

Last year, we announced the Department of Health is processing all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within 3 business days, down from as much as a 10 month wait. This week, I signed a bill ensuring Washingtonians can change the sex designation on their state IDs and birth certificates without fear of violating their privacy. Washington state is committed to protecting the rights of transgender and gender diverse people. That includes their legal right to reflect their gender on these documents. Thanks to prime sponsor Sen. Pedersen.

@user0000O0 Dental work and rain

what are we filling the void with this week

@bitchuneedsoap Wow FUCK bob iger 🤢

In 2015, Disney called 250 IT workers into a meeting. They thought they were getting bonuses. Disney told them they were being replaced by workers flown in from India on H-1B visas, and if they didn't spend the next 90 days training those replacements, they'd lose their severance. Leo Perrero testified before Congress about it. Appeared on 60 Minutes. "Someone was flown in from another country to sit at my same desk and take over what I was doing. It was the most humiliating thing I've ever gone through in my life." Two workers sued Disney, HCL, and Cognizant for colluding to illegally displace American workers. Courts dismissed it. Disney Magic.

@TrungTPhan The only unrealistic thing is not waiting for the cash line

Costco CEO Ron Vachris did the “CEO eats his own product” challenge by destroying a hot dog (and confirms the Costco hot dog combo is staying at $1.50 forever). Legend.

Did you just call Pete Thiel “benevolent”?

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

@uncledoomer Yes but also, garage lofts/basement apartments/MIL suites have been around for may decades and contribute to stability of family during transitional life events

am i the only one who feels like "you can rent a shed in someones backyard" is less of a big win as far as housing affordability goes, and more of an unsettling harbinger of our backslide out of prosperity?

Afroman has shown me that I am not hating enough

@GovNuclear A more affordable future, another breakthrough in technological advancement, and freedom from the fear of nuclear energies.

What comes to mind when you hear the words “nuclear energy renaissance?” 🤔

@SwiftOnSecurity One of my store directors raised his niece. My current boss would let me demote myself; when I mentioned a demotion to niece-dad, he said “nah, you’re better than that”. Exactly why I’m switching locations

My second manager. Relayed core career advice, but largely demonstrated steady direction and resolute belief in the value performing not for your employer but yourself. Still think about you, Brad. I think you kinda made me who I am. I'm positive your daughters are amazing.
