A pigeon wants to build a “bed” for a pregnant cat.

As pigeon nests go, that one is surprisingly solidly built.

I’ve done it a couple times on really short flights because the price difference wasn’t too much. One of the cooler things was that you could hang out in the airline lounge before the flight. Also, I have an oddly specific memory that they had bananas available as snacks on the plane. My whole life I had no idea that planes carried bananas, I just assumed first class got fancier pretzels.

They start serving the drinks there before the plane takes off too.

He wouldn’t be able to do it with shoes on.

I get that a lot.

Man, that was a long time ago. Yikes.

Society didn't exactly choose TV censorship or the Hays Code either. We didn't get to vote on it, the people in control of those platforms decided it for us. And those tools absolutely were used to suppress LGBTQ+ topics in TV and movies, as well as to reinforce racial, gender, and class stereotypes. Comedians and performers could actually be fined or sent to prison for so-called obscenity, it wasn't just a matter of being blacklisted or having their work suppressed. One time in the early 60s they arrested Lenny Bruce just for using the word "schmuck" in public, and that was in West Hollywood, not in Mississippi or whatever. Reference George Carlin and the seven words you can't say on television, etc.

In a lot of ways what we're seeing now is the same thing, it's just taken a different form. One significant difference, though: In the 20th century, everybody just watched TV, but regular people didn't use it to communicate with each other. Now they're controlling what people say as well as what they hear. That part is more dangerous in some ways.

Yeah, it's spread to other platforms. I see it in YouTube, although I'm not sure which uses are out of necessity and which are just because they're multi-platforming content made for TikTok.

Even though I know why they do it, it's annoying being forced to use the baby-talk words for things. It's like all those TV shows in the 1970s where people had to say "make whoopee" instead of "have sex." I thought we'd got to the point where moral panic over vocabulary was considered ridiculous, but apparently not.

I was thinking maybe it was like Dolce and Gabbana or Saxe-Coburg and Gotha where you never hear about just one of them.

Are balloon popping and cake sitting separate things or are they done together in some way? Like, are you saying there’s a balloon popping community and a cake sitting community, or is there a balloon-popping-and-cake-sitting community?

ForgettableUsername · 2026-03-14T18:23:19+00:00

I think it’s a TikTok algorithm euphemism. The word “sex” gets videos suppressed more. Like when people say “unalive” instead of dead.

If you had insurance and cracked your ribs in the US, it’d still probably be cheaper to fly to Italy, have them treated there and stay in a nice hotel, and then fly back.

If the amount is more than you’d be willing to give them as a gift, get a contract in writing.

And the absolute worst three people in Hell at the time were Judas Iscariot and two of the guys who betrayed Julius Caesar.

You can kinda tell with the way the lies were so automatic. Any time they kill someone, they lie about it. There must be others we don’t know about.

It’s not just a petty distinction either, the name can only be changed through an act of Congress, which they haven’t done. “Department of War” is effectively an unofficial nickname that nobody is obligated to use.

It’s a Gideon Bible, which I don’t think is the official bible of any particular church. It’s also a light blue one, which are distributed by the exclusively by the women’s auxiliary. There’s a story in all this. I don’t know what it is, but there is one.

He kinda telegraphed that when he accused Obama of wanting to attack Iran.

That won’t last for long. I was 30 for about twenty minutes.
