You know that weird feeling when things are going really well for you personally but the world is more than on fire? Sort of makes you want to throw up if you think about it for more than a second?

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Pictured is "After hours Geordi La Forge." He's wearing a velvety cushy soft looking future space guy sweater and he's ready to chillax to the max. Also and always wearing his banana clip looking eye visor. Closed caption reads, "Maybe a little soft jazz."

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was β€œyour piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

Kroger joins Trader Joe's in recall of rice products: Growing fears of glass fragments spark dramatic expansion A recall that initially included about 3 million pounds of frozen food products is now 10 times larger. Carrots are now believed to be the culprit.

The glass-in-rice recall just got way bigger.

I love Dagon. It's not good precisely but it's exactly what it needs to be.

Arsenal are moving what feels like an inevitable draw here and it's entirely down to what's been pretty cowardly play.

The good sort of stoicism, too, since a blush of stoicism often comes up in pos-masc imaginaries. Well, I screwed something up because I'm a goober, reckon I gotta find a way through.

And that's cool.

there's something to be said about how Harrison Ford's two big pop culture characters of Indiana Jones and Han Solo both have gigantic goober energy, like, both of them are constantly getting into Situations

This 12th century Lewis Chessman piece depicts the berserker shield-biting practice of Viking warriors who gnawed on the edges of their shields in a rage-filled frenzy meant to terrorize their enemies.

One of the worst things is when you really like jalapeΓ±os and you're excited to eat a jalapeΓ±o but you bite into it and it's one of those outlier way hotter than normal jalapeΓ±os.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

I just laughed til I cried over the stupidest video of a guy asking his girlfriend to go get some donuts and sweet coffee, saying nothing for him at the drivethru, and her shouting at him "what the fuck is wrong with you this was your idea!"

I'm currently trying to sort out which of my registered ind friends who voted in a GOP primary for the first time I can credit for it.

Also I’ll note that Page isn’t necessarily running to Berger’s right. That would be pretty impossible. This is mostly about a potential casino in Rockingham County that locals are against.

It's way funnier if Berger loses by two votes than if he it were a blowout imo
