“What kind of coffin will you die in?” “A big coffin. Next to my wife’s.”

@UP_Steam the “17 tons” statistic in 4014’s experience car I think is too small by several orders of magnitude.

That time of year when I drink as much water as possible before bed so when I wake up at 3am to pee it is finally cold enough outside to open the windows.

@ByRobinEpley Wild that a foxtail in the nose costs ~2x more than one in the ear! I guess there’s more at stake?

a foxtail up Juno’s nose just cost me $800 🫣

@Dbacks Beads?

Tonight’s game has been delayed due to a bee colony forming on the protective netting behind home plate.

Where’s the third season @HBO ? Tell me to finish what I started.

#Sacramento works for all of California, but who's working for us? As a public health professional running for mayor, I'm not taking corporate donations. I'm fighting for a Sacramento that works for everyone, not just rich developers and political consultants. #MoreIsPossible🫶🏿 #FloForMayor #GoWithTheFlo #California

Loving all the B99 videos but man was Braugher great in Men of a Certain Age.

@ColiseumSewage Apparently I need to be verified to message you an invite code? Ugh this is a horrible place.

I’m gonna be leaving twitter/X asap. I was only staying through the baseball season. Wish I could get an invite to BlueSky. Don’t really have any other social media space worth spending time in, but I can’t put up with what is now a trash platform full of Nazis and lies.

@CaityMaple Boston used to have a sign on Storrow Drive that said “if you were in Jail you’d be home by now.”
