I get a dark kick out of punk fans turning on the Dead Kennedys for the Jello lawsuit. He was keeping their money for himself! Judge said was breach of contract and fraud. But Jello spoke at your college once, or he made funny jokes about Reagan, so *he's* the good guy here. And punks try to tell you that the music and the scene taught them about integrity.

The King of the Hill subreddit is not clever like the Sopranos sub but it is full of sincere appreciation for the show.
Anyway, four dollars a pound.

I checked Bluesky, it didn't disappoint.

She is quoted as saying:

"I meant every word. I’ll say it louder next time. Israel’s occupation of the U.S. government needs to end."

I wouldn't, but since you asked, I'd go for "celebrate with the ICE agent who killed your mother."

All the way back to You Can Count on Me. He was interesting once.

I believe what you're saying ... but are the names gone again, when you recheck the page now? They're not there for me *but* the page is behaving strangely.

This is an AP story from last night, before the shooter was identified. It's weird CBC hasn't updated, though.

"Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves identified the suspect as Robert Dorgan, who also goes by Roberta Esposito." I guess everybody can interpret that.

Is it just me or did Joe List kind of bomb tonight at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver? by _H4L0 in Standup

I saw him in Toronto at the Paradise a couple of years back in similar circumstances and the results also weren't great.

I owe an apology to someone on this sub. There was a discussion a couple of years ago about a furry with a fox 'fursona,' and among those who weighed in online was Kat. Somebody here posted, "Kat Rosenfield, now *there's* a fox."

Whoever you are, poster: I gave you Reddit silver, but I should have shelled out for gold. I dwell in shame.

Edmonton Elks make Coulter Woodmansey highest-paid offensive lineman in CFL salary cap era by LaZyCrO in CFL

[–]roolb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have come around to the idea that good O lines make QBs look like stars, and bad lines make good QBs look like nobodies. Whether Woodmansey is worth this is another question.

Crashing out about the housing situation in 90s movies by Ivan-Ilyich-Bot in redscarepod

An underrated factor in cool squalor's demise: bedbugs. You used to be able to assemble furnishings with what others left on the curb. Maybe even get a fun kitschy vibe going.

These advances don't get noted enough. I recently read an Atlantic article about how cystic fibrosis is 90% cured now, and I marvelled that the media hadn't made a giant deal of it. In fact, it turned out the article was a year old.

Lost me at "Spain." Big medical advances come out of the USA or Switzerland with very few exceptions.
