The best way to see them all for free is annualcreditreport.com. It’s jointly operated by Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion to comply with some federal law that says they each have to give you a free report every year. You only get one of each annually, so if you want to keep tabs on your credit more frequently you can get one now from Experian, wait four months, get one from Equifax, wait four months, get one from TransUnion and repeat.

To be clear, this is the app you’d use on a macbook or imac or whatever they call their desktop computers these days. It’s not the app for iphone or ipad

To me, Biden seemed certain to lose, while with Kamala it could go either way. In no way is she a worse candidate than Biden. I think we should all be deeply invested in Kamala winning the election. Not because I want to see Trump lose, though I do. Not because I want to see Kamala win, which I don’t really. What I want, what I think we all want, is to see Hillary Clinton looking on as another woman becomes the first woman president. Not just that, I want to see Kamala win easily, just to make it clear to Hillary that she, personally, was the problem in 2016. No one thinks Kamala is an impressive candidate, so if her mediocre ass beats Trump with a comfortable margin, it’ll more or less settle the argument as to who was responsible for Trump’s victory.

To be clear, I haven’t lost sight of the fact that a Harris presidency would basically just be the Biden presidency with more awkward laughter. We’re not going to get a good president this time around, or maybe ever. I’m aware that I’m doing something similar to the republican rank-and-file who know their candidates won’t do anything to help them, but will at least make the people they don’t like suffer. We should all be protesting, agitating, and organizing for something better, but with the understanding that organizing is almost certainly not getting us a better candidate this cycle, let’s try and find joy where we can. In this case, in schadenfreude.

and here I was thinking the joke was to give them literal maids or maidens or something

he apparently posted this from the hospital after a seizure, according to his wife

I mean, he’s right. We just let them do it. If he’d like us to take matters into our own hands I’m sure we can oblige.

I love that I put on a white noise video to help me sleep and now my feed is 80% white noise videos

I got to do this once. I look like the type a prosecutor would probably want on a jury and I wasn’t individually asked any questions before being chosen. The case was a non-violent drug offense and it was a wild experience for reasons I won’t get into. Once we got in the jury room it pretty much went like:

“Not guilty.”

“Why not guilty? It’s a pretty clear cut case.”

“I don’t believe the cops.”

“Why don’t you believe the cops?”

“I didn’t find their testimony credible. It didn’t convince me beyond a reasonable doubt.”

“What about the body cam footage? Do you believe that?”

“I didn’t find it convincing.”

“The whole thing is on camera, do you think they faked it all?”

“I suppose that’s a possibility. I just haven’t seen enough evidence to convict.”

“What more evidence could you need?”

“More than this. I’m not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt.”

And around and around we went like that. I was the lone holdout. I have to say, the other jurors were pretty cool about it. Eventually we had to tell the judge we couldn’t reach a verdict on any of the charges and it was declared a mistrial. Totally worth it.

I want to work at the government Office of Whaddya-Need? where people come because they need help training their dog, or they need help moving across the country, or they need a leaking roof patched up, or they need someone to pick their kid up from soccer practice on Friday evenings, or they want to become a librarian and need career guidance, or they have limited mobility and just want someone to take them over to the lake and sit and chat. I want to be the person who helps to figure out how to get them the thing they need. For free of course, because it’s a communist utopia.

As someone who has never cared about Batman or any other superhero but enjoyed all the Arkham games, I think it’s worth it for the Gotham-at-Christmas atmosphere. I often replay it around Christmastime

never thought there would be video of this omg thank you so much

Make other characters look straight to the camera and say “wow Witt is so witty, and smart and cunning”

barely related, but my favorite moment from Wonder Woman 1984 is when Diana Wonder Woman and Kristen Wiig Cat Lady go out for drinks and get to know each other. The scene begins with Diana Wonder Woman laughing at something we the audience didn’t get to hear, says to Cat Lady, “you’re so funny 😂,” and the scene moves on. Like, you’ve got talented comedienne Kristen Wiig in your movie and you’re establishing her character, and the writer (writers? I’m not looking it up) couldn’t come up with a single funny thing for her to say? The entire movie is inept on every possible level but for some reason, that moment of ineptitude is the one that lodged itself in my brain.

Cole Escola was also in Search Party. He was The Twink who kidnaps Dory in whichever season it was where she got kidnapped. Who wants to talk about what an extremely fun and deeply flawed show Search Party is?

I like the grapefruit seltzer and hate actual grapefruit

My memory of watching that movie is feeling uncomfortable and realizing “oh, these characters are the people I went to college with.”

Are we squeamish about sex? This place does seem less horny than other online spaces, but like, not because the people on here are prudes or sex-negative. More like people here understand how fast horny-posting can turn into something uncomfortable, or into outright sexual harassment, and in the interest of keeping this place nice, are doing the horny-posting in more appropriate places. I don’t know, I’ve never gotten the impression that hexbear is uncomfortable with sex, or that this place is completely sexless, just that we maintain a respectful distance from it to ensure everyone’s comfort and a minimum of drama

um, wow, seethe much?

if I take “identity politics” seriously I’m either going to have to stick my neck out for other people, or feel guilty that I’m not sticking my neck out for other people, and there are a lot of really good video games in my backlog, soooo…

I can absolutely see myself buying a gift like that for a trans guy, not because I think it’s a good gift, but because it’s such a comically stereotypical Man Hat, and it kinda rocks with how over-the-top tacky it is. It works as both a genuine affirmation and a funny gag gift.
