Uh oh! The Oracle has killed herself rather than face the future she foresaw. Market analysts are speculating this may be bad for the economy

The Macy's windows this year are "Macy's windows themed" like they depict people looking at the original Macy's windows from 100 years ago, in a little diorama inside the windows. I thought this was stupid at first but I decided it's apt. Christmas has been about "Christmas" since at least before the Charlie brown Christmas special like 50 years ago. It's an entirely meta holiday. You're not celebrating anything but the idea of celebrating something. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

so i hauve covid rn and i must say, American cold medicine is the absolute bees knees. You go to a UK pharmacy and they tenderly press like eight (8) paracetamol into the palm of your hand... God FORBID you're sick in France, i had to scour every pharmacy in Paris for something that wasn't HOMEOPATHIC PASTILLES. meanwhile last night i took the last of my stash of Nyquil that expired in 2019 and it was like getting hit by a fucking baseball bat (affectionate). press X to timeskip. LOVE me a cheeky little medically induced coma. you can really feel that it's a precursor to meth. i know that everything is fucking awful over there my friedns and my heart goes out to every one of you but if you need one small bright light of national pride in this time of strife please know that i envy you your cold medicine every day

why take the lords name in vain when u COULD have the vocabulary of a baseball playing kid from the 40s
