What a bald eagle REALLY sounds like! #shorts YouTube video by Kristen From Florida

there’s something very on the nose about “America’s bird actually sounds kinda wimpy, uses another bird’s cry to sound more badass”

I hear a lot of red-tailed hawk cries around my neighborhood in Brooklyn and I’d bet they’d be so mad if they’d found out they’d been getting their shit attributed to eagles, whose actually cry sounds like a loose shopping cart wheel

you had to have known the replies were gonna be like this, right?

from what I understand, the reason it carries a leek is because there's a Japanese idiom that's like "a duck with a green onion on it's back" which is basically "unlikely fortune", you're literally supposed to be reminded of eating this fool

you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato...baby, you got a stew going

unless you can think of another Pokemon that comes with their own aromatic, yeah, obviously

this house is low-key kinda bleak, ngl

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

underrated reason I think Mainers like him is that his voice reminds him of A Guy They Know. part of why Fetterman was initially popular. not a lot of candidates who have it.

there’s kind of a nostalgic ugliness to early digital films

Buena Vista Social Club - El Carretero (Official Audio) YouTube video by World Circuit Records

watching Buena Vista Social Club for the first time (heard the album many times, never watched the film) and was reminded that *this* is the one, this is the sleeper banger

what garment would you say Duke is wearing around his neck here

what bugs me is that, yes, obviously you cannot say any form of "I will raise your taxes", I'm not an idiot, but like, you're not gonna out-tax-cut the Republicans! gotta change the convo, not try to butt into it

not saying anyone has to take this at face value but I posed more or less this question on Twitter and this was the most straightforward pro-Platner response I'd gotten, for whatever its worth

NIPPON is a subsidiary of Nippon Life Insurance Company, commonly known and referred to as Nissay, a foreign insurance company which operates in, and is organized under the laws of, Japan. As one of Japan's oldest life insurance carriers, Nissay's name is strongly 2 Case: 1:26-cv-02448 Document #: 1 Filed: 03/04/26 Page 3 of 50 PageID #:3 associated with financial strength, regulatory discipline, honest business practices, and reliability. These are values that resonate strongly in the Japanese market and are core to the company's brand. As a Japanese company, social and commercial emphases are placed on maintaining a reputation for honesty and integrity. Accusations of impropriety, regardless of their legitimacy, are seen as dishonorable and can have a severe and lasting impact in the Japanese market.

emil @protofailure Murder is actually really frowned in Japan. It goes against the traditional concept of # * 3, which means "to live" 5:27 PM • 10/27/22

to be fair, "we value fiscal irresponsibility to nobody's real benefit including ourselves" would, in fact, be a decent description of the American financial sector at the moment

was doing the Naomi Wolf meme

thinking about the funniest city where Ludacris gloats about having hoes in that song, my vote is Omaha

legacy ^ Area codes mentioned These are the area codes listed in the song, in order: Position = Area code City or general area State (where Luda has hoes) 1 770 Atlanta Georgia Etc

an unsung hero of the Internet is the Wikipedia editor who decided to arrange the locations of hoe-having in Ludacris’s “Area Codes” into a table

free yourself from the prison of being soured on a work of art or media because you find the fanbase annoying

anyway I do happen to like Talarico’s chances better to boot, but geez, good riddance to that whole thing

honestly there some primaries I’m glad to be over first and foremost because they’re annoying, I’ll freely admit that

fwiw, I’m pretty sure this is the closest thing I have to an AI-positive tweet:

very funny to be on both the “AI slop enjoyers” and “Techno-Pessimists” lists
