Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

37?! In a row?!

I remember when fans were small and capacitors were big.

I initially thought this was a comic about time dilation till happy hour. Nope, it's about the futility of surviving until retirement.

Nobody commenting on the fact that this good scientist nearly shares a name with the largest fast food chain on the planet on the planet. I like to think this Dr. Chris Macdonald is rebelling against their father, Ronald.

While that isn't how digestion works, I enjoy the concept of "I've never played Russian Roulette, but I've been the gun."

I was in Tokyo in 2007 and everyone was wearing jeans under jeans. I was convinced it was going to come stateside. I don't think it was a full pair of jeans beneath an outer pair of jeans. But that's what it looked like. It seemed like the response to how extreme the trend to wear your pants sagging had gotten. Sag as hard as you want, just wear another pair of jeans underneath so you're not in your boxers.

Stop conflating Judaism with Zionism. Fuck this headline for perpetuating this bullshit. The group that's doing this are not the victims of the holocaust, they're right wing extremists who believe they have the divine right to a piece of land and see the current occupants as inhuman, inferior, and expendable. Every Holocaust survivor I've ever met has been the most empathetic human who is focused on sharing their experience and educating others in an attempt to keep this from happening to anyone, not just their social group.

Maybe it's just me, but if the president can fire them at a whim and replace them with whoever he wants, they don't seem very "independent."

Cornell, who has led the Minneapolis-based retail chain since 2014, received $9.9 million in total compensation for 2024, an 87% drop from his 2020 peak of $77.5 million.

What the actual fuck? Why are humans being paid $10m A YEAR, let alone over $75m?!

You can tell it’s shopped because of the pixels

Still happening to this day. This is in Houston 5 years ago.

The tax system is so complicated, most people can’t handle navigating it on their own. Most people have jobs where taxes are automatically removed from pay checks and sent to both state and federal tax agencies. However, that amount is just an estimate and once a year (or quarter) you need to file paperwork to confirm whether you over or underpaid and then you either get a rebate (without interest), or you’ll need to send in a payment to make up the difference. That paperwork has been lobbied to remain as complicated as possible so that companies like Intuit can provide services that tax payers find useful and continue to pay for. This is more complicated for business owners, both big and small.

Why do people keep dunking specifically on Obama for this? Isn't this the same as every US president ever?

Stupid people always say no. There are no rules given for what smart people say. One could answer no to the question and the stupid people rule may not be applicable.

These are the bathroom doors at a brewery near me. I don't understand why more places don't do this. If it's a single stall bathroom, it's all that matters.

I love Queen, but (with the exception of Somebody To Love) I feel like you’ve picked out the worst and most overplayed Queen songs. If you’re open to seeing why folks like them so much, I’d suggest the following (in my order of preference):

• Under Pressure
• I Want To Break Free
• Radio Gaga
• Stone Cold Crazy
• Killer Queen
• Crazy Little Thing Called Love
• You’re My Best Friend
• Don’t Stop Me Now
• Who Wants To Live Forever

There’s a pretty good mix in there. Some are more operatic than others. Some go pretty hard.

It's weird that I know about Johnson's Johnson long before I became aware of all the legislation that passed while he was in office:

• Civil Rights Act
• Voting Rights Act
• Medicare/Medicaid
• Food Stamps (and other social programs)
• Immigration & Nationality Act
• National Endowment for the Arts
• Public Broadcasting Act (PBS/NPR)
• various education & environmental bills

That dick got a lot done...

And also started the war in Vietnam...

Kind of a complex legacy, but holy shit that's a lot of good domestic work, ESPECIALLY for a single term president (plus the year following JFKs assassination).

Having just turned 43, I can tell you that I don’t think I became an adult until my early/mid 30s.
