      You can tell when millennials entered the workforce by how shit writing for TV shows and movies got.

      Europeans should embrace ceiling fans. A great North American home amenity.

      Every other president in history: the buck stops here, I made the call or I am responsible for those who did

      Trump: no I don’t know if we’re giving military aid to Ukraine today. We didn’t yesterday? Damn bro that’s crazy. Who’s idea was that?

      >An internal government assessment shows USAID officials raised “critical concerns” last month about a key aid group’s ability to protect Palestinians and to deliver them food – just days before the State Department announced $30 million in funding for the organization.

      >A scathing 14-page document obtained by CNN outlines a litany of problems with a funding application submitted by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group established to provide aid following an 11-week Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
      The assessment flags a range of concerns, from an overall plan missing “even basic details” to a proposal to potentially distribute powdered baby formula in an area that lacks clean water to prepare it. The internal review found that GHF’s application was missing at least nine elements typically required for an award to be approved. One of the sources said USAID staff had voiced concerns internally about working with GHF, especially given the humanitarian principle of ‘do no harm.’

      >A USAID official came to a clear conclusion in the report: “I do not concur with moving forward with GHF given operational and reputational risks and lack of oversight.” “The application was abysmal… it was sorely lacking real content,” a source familiar with the application told CNN on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

      So I never really bought the idea that there was this “Epstein client list” of people who probably committed sex crimes (rather than just being people who had flown on his plane a few times) that was just lying around somewhere that nothing had been done with for ~6 years.

      But then, after getting accused of being on Epstein’s list by Elon, Trump’s administration says that there is actually no such list (despite people in his administration previously claiming there was one), Epstein wasn’t murdered, and releases a video tape of the outside of Epstein’s cell the night he died that has one minute missing from it…

      …Okay I’m not gonna say Epstein had a client list with Trump’s name on it, but I will say this is exactly what would happen if he did have that.

      Do you think there’s any city in the world with such a mismatch between the general idea of a city and its reality than Hollywood?

      People genuinely think there are stars everywhere. But instead you’ll see a homeless person shit on your sidewalk.

      At this point, I’m like 90% certain that my MIL pronounces it “expresso” just to troll me.

      I legit wouldn’t be surprised if when I’m not around, she’s walking into cafes like “Buongiorno! Vorrei un caffe doppio per favore.”

      I don’t see nearly enough discussion about the fact that Super Mario’s name is canonically Mario Mario.
