Worth pointing out that she died in August of 2020 - not long after Roe v Wade was overturned. Apparently it took a while for the hoops to be jumped through to officially call this a preventable death.
So it’s very, very likely that many women have died as well.
That was a really fun book to listen to. He narrates the second one as well, but it didn’t capture lightning in a bottle the same way.
Nice to meet you, I’m George.
…welp, I gave it a shot.
Probably shouldn’t mention that if you get asked about how you got started at your kid’s school career day.
It’s an extremely tacky/offensive ad. The humor in this post is that it’s absolutely fucking insane for a restaurant to have thought this was a good idea.
Before 2020, I had no idea that anything special happened on January 6th. Having a worry free transfer of power was something I just grew up taking for granted.
Have your read 11/22/63? It’s Stephen King 's take on what would happen if a time traveler tries to stop the JFK assassination.
Great book, in my opinion.
I was thinking about this movie yesterday in a thread talking about Beethoven. But I didn’t bring it up, because I figured it was too traumatic for most people.
Same! There’s a lot of stuff from my childhood that I remember being awesome, then going back to revisit it and being horrified. Like, I vaguely remembered the movie Gremlins being cute and funny when I was a kid. But reading the plot now makes me wonder how I survived childhood without PTSD.
I just looked it up and the selling puppies was the plot of the 2nd movie.
What in the fuck‽ It’s true
Lol yeah dude, I wouldn’t just make that shit up. It’s wild!
I live in a red, suburban county. Almost every house in my neighborhood has a big ass pickup sitting in the driveway (because it won’t fit in the garage). Most of these dudes drive their giant pickups to work in an office building.
I asked one of them - an engineer - about it once. He said he works in an office but has to drive to job sites every once in a while, so he drives a truck. Keep in mind the dude does not do any manual labor on those job sites. But the people working there do - and he doesn’t want to feel left out.
I’d estimate that well over half the big ass trucks in America are driven by guys who want to fit it, but don’t actually need them. They’d be much better off driving something like a Nissan Leaf, but don’t want to get made fun of.
I watched this with my kids the other day just to share some of my childhood memories with them.
I sure was surprised to learn the plot of the movie was that some bad guys had developed a new type of bullet and needed to test it out on the thick skulls of live animals. They try to kidnap Beethoven so that they can shoot him in the head. In order to accomplish this, they abuse the dog until it attacks one of them and then cover themselves in fake blood so the family is forced to agree to have the dog put down.
Somehow childhood me had blocked all of this out and just remembered “haha funny big dog”.
Hope you guys like pizza, cause that’s all I bought.
Lol I think we’re around the same age. Definitely too young for evil clown Tim Curry.
Yeah I don’t know why the article mentions Gen Z’s “tech-savvy reputation”. Being able to operate a cell phone doesn’t make you tech savvy.
Gen X and Millennials grew up using command line and troubleshooting computer problems before the Internet. Their tech skills are way higher than Gen Z.
Stephen King’s IT was broadcast on network TV during primetime. I remember being excited to gather around the TV to watch a movie and oooooh boy was not prepared. I don’t think my parents let me finish.
I saw this in my 20s as well, somehow never having heard a thing about it. I thought it was gonna be a standard sci-fi movie. Boy was I surprised.
Also, I’ve heard about that lost footage that they filmed but never released. Shit sounds wild.
Better rule, if the vehicle detects that the turn signal is not active and you’re making a turn, it engages temporary self driving and delivers an electric shock to the crotch .
Yep you’re right
