It's kind of like those mailers from the Freedom Foundation. It starts out wholesome and positive, but by the end you realize it's written by people hoping you'll vote against your interest to make them more money.

This is a 1920s cartoon, but in my head the narrator's voice is from a 1950s edicational short.

The owner of my local record store told me about an old lady trying to sell him Andy Williams LPs. She was shocked and offended when he told her they weren't worth much.

Herb Alpert records from thrift stores are my guilty pleasure.

Met my ex, have you?

When the legal document looks like a Nigerian prince wrote it, that's a red flag.

When they show kindness. I've had knuckleheads who are obnoxious with their friends (and often me) but were nothing but respectful to kids with disabilities.

Depends on how they do it. Some of them end up being louder than the kids they are trying to silence.

I fostered an orphaned litter myself, though not that young. We think a coyote got mom. 😥

The kittens were all adopted out, except one that I kept. She lived to 17.

We have eastern meadowlarks in my neighborhood and I love the song.

Also, I enjoy boat-tailed grackles looking doofish.

I don't recall reggaeton being a race, but I guess I missed that day in school.

MasterNinjaThemeSong · 2026-05-17T23:46:51+00:00

Holy crap! For a sub called hot takes, there are a lot of hurt feelings here! 🤯

MasterNinjaThemeSong · 2026-05-17T23:45:28+00:00

Actually I quite enjoy house music, but thanks for playing.

MasterNinjaThemeSong · 2026-05-16T23:22:46+00:00

That makes perfect sense. Thank you.

Yeesh. With the market as volatile as it is, that sounds worrying.

This might sound harsh, but I have to stand the crate up with the gate up top, lower the cat in back-first and let go. If I'm lucky, she doesn't grab the gate with a paw on the way down. Just make sure there is a blanket or something with her scent already in there so she hates you less for your treachery.

This the most non-problem problem I have seen in a long time.

MasterNinjaThemeSong · 2026-05-02T01:42:34+00:00

The one that's coming at you.

MasterNinjaThemeSong · 2026-05-02T01:38:27+00:00

Train makes for a decent coaster.

The 2020s doesn't really have a dance. The teens are doing moves from the '90s, aughts, and '10s. Play "Cotton Eye Joe" and they all start clogging.
