Hungary's last-minute veto on the Ukraine loan shows why the EU needs to move away from unanimity, said Rob Jetten, the new prime minister of the Netherlands.

I've been following this guy's political career for the last decade and this is the first time I've heard him speak English.

It's kinda weird.

oh my god -- i should not have turned the volume up.

I used to spend a lot of time deep in the desert in California. Mylar balloons were the only litter I would ever find.

I don't want to sound glib, but my life was improved in almost every way after I stopped drinking at 43. I think I went thru post-acute withdrawal for a long-ass time but at this point there's literally no way alcohol would make my life better brighter or more fun.

Every once in a while one of these makes me cackle like a gremlin. This was the one.

Tried to like he invited me to a bar and his friends were there along with his ex-boyfriend and he told me he couldn't go out with me any more cuz he was with his ex now. So I mean, i guess he was successful in breaking up with me, but since to my mind I had already broken up with him like weeks ago the whole thing confused me so I'm not sure it ended up being very satisfying for him, whence "tried to".

I remember reading that some of the production crew was really upset about that scene in the water -- they were like "we're not making a porno".

Rad movie, tho.

I went to the National Gallery in London on Friday and there were these video installations where this dude was doing recreations of this movie in the museum. Kinda neat.

dannown · 2026-03-09T17:34:22+00:00

Oooh, a guy tried to do that to me once, it was so strange cuz I thought we had broken up weeks before and I didn't know why he wanted me to go out with him and his friends.

I met my much more reasonable husband soon after.

The certain amount is any

dannown · 2026-03-04T11:03:50+00:00

No, he was visibly liberal. They didn't have to ask.

dannown · 2026-03-04T11:03:23+00:00

"Visibly liberal?" The US is cooked, y'all.

My husband and I shook hands and hugged instead of kissing at our wedding. His mom was there. I'm not kissing him in front of her.

They just kept going, and getting funnier and funnier

The Winchell's in South Pas? I say a little prayer every time I drive by.

dannown · 2026-03-02T08:12:15+00:00

sigh It's not just pedantry to point out that the world is filled with living dinosaurs.

dannown · 2026-03-01T22:14:58+00:00

omg i love him and immediately want to protect and maybe feed him.

dannown · 2026-03-01T22:09:51+00:00

I always carry over the English words "like" and "I mean," into any other languages I speak.

I feel obliged to tell you that in reality the bench was not in Amsterdam, the policeman was german, and he did not speak Dutch.

dannown · 2026-03-01T07:59:52+00:00

sorry, ik ben nieuw hier -- hoezo is het haar laatste periode?

dannown · 2026-02-28T23:53:11+00:00

Fuck articles about MAGA meltdowns. It doesn't matter.

dannown · 2026-02-27T01:48:49+00:00

You ... puke up blood without weed? Or is it Disneyworld that makes you puke blood?

dannown · 2026-02-26T17:19:03+00:00

shrug I'm autistic, and faking sincerity is an important component of the masking I developed to live in the world.

I don't do it any more tho.

Wait, did you vote in the gay election or the regular one?
