In most cases that’s true, but we all remember specifically that thing that you did in middle school. Shameful.

These predatory companies make such a huff, like an abusive partner storming out while shouting “you don’t know what you’re missing!”

We do know, and we’ll be fine. 👋

I saw a movie about something like this and it all worked out great and everyone was happy and fulfilled.

He won my respect when he won over Philly by insulting every single person in it - while in Philly. (I can’t believe this happened 18 years ago.)

“The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Illinois Attorney General announced a massive $20 million settlement with Leader Automotive Group, the operator of 10 dealerships in and around Bloomington, Illinois, for alleged unfair and deceptive acts and practices in connection with the sale of motor vehicles in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act and Illinois state law.”

But this time, the bricks are filled with coins!

From the article:

"…journalist Liz Pelly has conducted an in-depth investigation, and published her findings in Harper’s—they are part of her forthcoming book Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist.

…

"Now she writes:

‘What I uncovered was an elaborate internal program. Spotify, I discovered, not only has partnerships with a web of production companies, which, as one former employee put it, provide Spotify with “music we benefited from financially,” but also a team of employees working to seed these tracks on playlists across the platform. In doing so, they are effectively working to grow the percentage of total streams of music that is cheaper for the platform.’

In other words, Spotify has gone to war against musicians and record labels."

I’m sorry that you’re both going through that. Wishing you both peace, and feel free to reach out if you ever want someone to listen.

I see you haven’t met Internet. You’re going to love it here.

Wow, everyone seems to be really broken up over the death of Brian “Johnson” (sic). The eulogy writes itself (but I did it anyway):

He lived as he died: a champion of generics.

George Santos bit at 6:52 for the impatient

Okay but bazooka firing squad sounds at least interesting

Anyone can cut conjoined twins in half

As if it wouldn’t be explained away as either 1) a hoax or 2) a conspiracy brought on by one’s political rivals

“The anonymized face blends seamlessly into its original photograph…”

Um… yep

The 3.2B part seems needlessly hyperbolic

Dr. Phil, then

Terrorists or fascists seems more appropriate.

I have had it with these motherfcking mealworm larvae that are capable of consuming polystyrene on this motherfcking plane!

I’m pretty sure I was in first grade, but for sure no older than third grade, when our sub put on The Blob (1988 version). That sure left a mark on me and I was pretty freaked out showering for at least months afterward.
