Haven't been offered a complimentary soup or salad at a restaurant in years. Do any of them do that anymore?

Very into old school Ani DiFranco lately and remembered how much I love "Talk to Me Now."

This was always one of my favorite post-golden era Simpsons jokes simply because I can't stand the band Styx and this captures that feeling so well: youtu.be/gdnvOQBOjow?...

Will never forget when I was 22 and working as a newspaper reporter and one of the editors was convinced I had a coke problem because I was always sniffing and rubbing my nose. I was actually just a dork allergic to the mold-infested building and wouldn't have even known where to acquire coke ffs.

Things I have never once regretted as a 42-year-old:
- Not going to my prom.
- Not having a wedding.
- Not having children.

Things I have regretted:
- Drinking coffee too late in the day.

That Nor'easter is becoming annoying now. It just won't leave, like the close-talking loud guy with too many stories at a party that no one will admit to inviting but he's somehow always there.

porn is so deeply misogynistic. i just watched a video with dozens of performers going at it, and they literally hadn’t bothered to hire a single woman.

you shouldn't take an iced coffee to a job interview because you shouldn't be trying to get a job. you should be digging an enormous pit or a complex system of tunnels

Thanks to an impending Nor'easter, a fun spooky market happening downtown tomorrow was cancelled and now I'm annoyed. Gonna have to get something ridiculous to eat to make up for it.

Be serious. Bert and Ernie are not “in love.” Maybe they used to be, once

Sometimes I feel like starting a substack. There isn't enough room here for my thoughts.

From the Coldplay couple to that other couple of lawyers in the park and now the woman carrying a child and several containers of food over to her lazy husband waiting in the stands of a baseball game...

You guys I'm losing it. Her big smile and the cookie monster pants along with the headline is destroying me.

I love how this site only has 2 speeds when it comes to me: rando shitpost goes viral for no reason and strangers tell me to die, or everyone ignores my existence completely.
