@Zo_bo_fo_sho Imagine seeing a joy filled person and getting pissed off about it. Some people just need everyone else to be as miserable as they are.

There really aren’t any rules. You just go to court. If it fails, go to court again until a judge says you’re all set.

Want a 7th year?

Sure

Broke rules?

Ahhhh, it’s fine.

There AREN’T any rules.

emotionally speaking, having a newborn is roughly like getting Frodo to Rivendell. Sweet helpless lil guy needs support

toddlerhood is akin to battle of Helm’s Deep. there’s dwarf-tossing, architectural damage, lots of climbing and falling, a giant battering ram for some reason,

This week I came across the obituary of a photographer named David Plowden. I was unfamiliar with his work, but decided to browse his website after reading that he specialized in photos of trains and industry.

I’m not much of an art guy, but these photos are astonishing. (1/4)

There’s a comfort in knowing that no matter who wins the election, things are going to get worse

I genuinely think a lot of millennials are reaching the same conclusion at the same time.

We grew up watching technology make life better every year. Cell phones. iPods. Smartphones. An app for everything. It felt like the future was arriving right in front of us, and we couldn’t wait for what came next.

Then somewhere along the way, it changed.

Everything became a subscription. Social media became algorithms. Every day feels like another once-in-a-lifetime event. The things that were supposed to save us time somehow ended up demanding more of our attention than ever.

We were sold convenience.

What we got was a world that feels faster, louder, more expensive, and somehow less human.

And that’s why so many people I know dream about a completely different life now. Not more technology. Not more optimization.

Just a quiet job, a flip phone, a small town, and a place where life feels real again.

If you want to pitch in for the Tweetman family car fund (we’re fine but if you want) just retweet this and like it so I get ad revenue

[Jared Kane @BaddestBearJew]

I’m taking a trip down memory lane tonight and I came across this and now I’m in my feels.

No matter what he did, regardless of how pretty or ugly it was, you respected the absolute heck out of what he routinely did behind the line in every single facet.

He always figured out a way to get it done when it mattered most.

Sometimes it was seamless and other times it had us ready to throw our TV’s into the Allegheny.

First ballot HOF’er.

Imagine a society so decadent and luxurious that it’s seen as oppression if you can’t have prepared food delivered to you in your climate controlled living space with millions of entertainment options at your fingertips.

[Two Thumbs Don @TwoThumbsDon]

Incredible, comparing food delivery to electricity, as if DoorDash is now just as vital to everyday life as basic utilities. Your parents failed to prepare you for real life, hate to see it!

@constans "When society gave you electricity you thought it was fine to adjust your living habits in response, now that energy is unaffordable you just need to pretend that nothing can change about this and start buying candles"

[Two Thumbs Don @TwoThumbsDon]

@nickycantaloupe I’m a millennial but I must be a boomer in spirit or something because I almost never get delivery. Except for pizza, and we do a lot of little ceasars (It is hot, and it is ready.) Otherwise It’s over $100 to get anything for my large fam and the food usually sucks.
