A pedant is anyone that describes another as “pedantic”

@ADHDForReal I try out new ideas by professing them. Then I retract them when I decide they weren’t all that great.

We're living in pre-French Revolution conditions, with the political elite of both parties screaming "let them eat cake" at their celebrity galas - only they are live broadcasting it to the screens that the whole serfdom is addicted to. In human history, this never ends well - but maybe the soma is now just so powerful that everyone is already anesthetized to simply accept being unable to afford food, water, electricity, gas and rent, all while billionaires celebrate themselves.

@MattBruenig Is that cheap TVA electric rates in action?

I’ve been driving stick on and off for 44 years.

#Smokefleet need more people over 65 year who can drive stick shift. Let's see ya 😎👍 @4thAnd11 @SpuntPuppy @MarkleResists @LeeoDiCabrio @johnny99tahoe @ChilliWilliJim @copelandcruiser @Never4getJan6 @lil_nascar_x @Geezzyman24 @AnewMoo @Medusastoys @DickJones1978

True

👇👇👇👇

beautifully worded. all very true. does not sound like the "old" (ie., younger) Bob Dylan at all. "old king from some vanished country"--striking metaphor.

@JDVance So just like we had under JCPOA

@thedailybeast @ConnieCassidy67 Why not post this @natebargatze?

How can rational actors in Iran be expected to negotiate with these eschatological ayatollahs in America?

A research into cat behavior shows that domestic cats regard humans as social peers rather than superiors, often perceiving their owners as large, awkward kittens. Far from being aloof or defiant, a cat’s apparent indifference stems from a profound interspecies mismatch in social expectations. As anthrozoologist John Bradshaw explains, cats—unlike dogs—never evolved to recognize humans as dominant leaders or authority figures. Instead, they filter all interactions through an exclusively feline framework. Behaviors like kneading on your lap or licking your hair are not mere displays of affection; they are the same grooming and bonding rituals cats reserve for close kin or pride members. In their eyes, we are simply enormous, somewhat clumsy fellow cats who require inclusion in the group. This absence of hierarchical deference accounts for cats’ frequent disregard of commands or household rules. Treating us as equals, they follow cat-to-cat social protocols in every encounter. The “gifts” of dead prey on the doorstep or constant shadowing around the home are acts of care toward what they see as a big, furless, rather inept companion. Recognizing this mindset transforms the human-cat relationship from one based on authority and obedience to one of mutual companionship. It turns out that while many owners believe they have domesticated their cats, the cats themselves are quietly convinced they are patiently tending to their oversized, adopted family members.

@johnpiano @iqrafatma1278 Not to mention that 40% is absolutely ridiculous, and also far more than the restaurateur can achieve.

@iqrafatma1278 It’s the owner of the restaurant’s job to pay you. Not me.

You walk into a restaurant and see this. What’s your first thought?

@iqrafatma1278 Servers should not be paid a percentage of the bill. What justification is there to pay one person $2 for serving a $10 dollar item, but another person $20 for a $100 item? The work is exactly the same.

@omgsidewalks I don't have any friends that I haven't known for at least 10 years. To anyone I've known less I'm like, "Sorry, you're an acquaintance. I really like you, but I'm still feeling you out. Keep up the good work, though."

who still has a friend they’ve known for 10+ years ?? I will wait.

BREAKING: This Could Become Trump’s Biggest Political Problem Yet. According to reporting, the Epstein fallout became such a crisis inside the White House that top officials reportedly treated it like a national security emergency. Then came reports that the Vice President, Chief of Staff, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel, and other senior officials were strategizing inside the Situation Room. Why was the White House treating the Epstein files like a top-level crisis?

BREAKING: House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia says he plans to formally ask Chairman Comer to bring JD Vance, Susie Wiles, and Kash Patel before the Committee in light of the new NYT Epstein reporting. "They're having meetings in the Situation Room about covering up the Epstein files and protecting Donald Trump, and so this is to us a huge smoking gun."

I actually once heard my boss man say to another employee “You know John, you're not the sharpest pencil in the box” and without skipping a beat the guy replied “Welp boss man, a sharp pencil is a sign it ain't never done a lick of work”. I think about that to this day.
