Updated with a note that this isn't the open thread after all, nobody can remember what day it is or where they are, or even that things have names, and in order to indicate them it is necessary to point.

BRB, Dad's taking me into the jungle to discover ice.

Any Wonker worth their toe-beans can draw connections between something in this article and whatever they want to talk about without breaking a sweat.

Example: Gryffn is drinking water by dipping her paw in the bowl and slurping it off her fur, while MΓ‘ebh is eating dry food by scooping pieces out of the bowl and throwing it on the floor, and then eating it.

It is a good thing that Mamdani did not tap the camera glass with a sodden paw, and also that MΓ‘ebh was not trying to eat that food from the balcony of her NYC penthouse.

Boise doesn't have any 500M penthouses.

Dok knows what he’s gotten himself into. He is the prof sitting at the old wooden desk in the front of the classroom with his feet up, reading a newspaper that he rattles when we get too obstreperous. Rules for Radical Commentors are posted at the front of the classroom, and he keeps the banhammer at reach, but rarely needs to do more than clear his throat or occasionally lower the paper and look at us from over the top of his glasses.

You should know, though, that the grownups have stopped coming around during Night Shift, and don’t even bother yelling, β€œDon’t make me come up there!” anymore.

You know us hippies will make it a free for all regardless. We roll like that.

I just double checked what's in my closet and since I do not see my neon yellow leisure suit I think I know what decade I'm now in...

Whale Chowder's avatar

At least the correct century.

I literally just stood up to do something, and before I could even take a step, I forgot what it was. So, I sat back down.

I’m sure it will come back to me.

Story of my last two years. I have to have reminder notes to post reminder notes.

It used to be like that for me. Now, it's so bad that I open a tab, and immediately forget what website I wanted to go to, or what I wanted to search for.

Plain Marie's avatar

And this is why i have umpteen million tabs open at any given time. If i close them, i will absolutely - la la la - forget them completely.

Edit: oops, i need a relevant tie in. Okay, some of those tabs are on real estate openings in various locations. I like doing research for entertainment purposes. It might be time to compare some of the amazingly tiny apartments in NYC with some of these mansions.

It can become a real problem when you fiber too much.

Hamilton & The Crew πŸ‘‰NOπŸ‘‘SπŸ‘ˆ's avatar

I do that so much that it's become an exercise regime.

Sherry's avatar

I was at the Farmers Market and a person dropped something. Went to pick it up and they said β€œOh you didn’t have to do that. Thank you”. I told them dropping things is the only way I get my exercises in these days.

In the hospital they wanted to give me a laxative.

I said "Over my dead body!"

They looked at me like "That can be arranged."

While I wait for the OT to start drinking heavily I'll just note that "The Millionaire Tax" in Massachusetts is working.

by an amazing coincidence most of my bitching has been limited to real estate so i managed to be on topic anyway.

I felt like I was taking crazy pills! But at this point, that’s any day ending in β€œY”.

I expect that the person in charge of sacking you will also be sacked.

G-7 in Space's avatar

The people who sacked the people for the credits have also now been sacked...

Sherry's avatar

It was the Llamas. They’re real troublemakers.

My sister was sacked by a moose 🫎 …. In a Manhattan penthouse .

You mean "pied a terre" is not the name of a cocktail?

Holy shit, then what do we call this past decade????

Those who were supposed to be doing the sacking have been sacked.

"Former Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino"

Never was Twitter's CEO. She was the one doing Elon's dirty work the whole time while Elon was only pretending to have stepped down, right?

California, if you’re listening to, we’re ready for a wealth tax. And redo prop 13 to get those undead fucking corporations off the damned thing.

I’m more worried about the toxins that have built up in their fat and organs and meat.

Might this be a good time to ever-so-slightly tickle the fuel tax on private jets- now while the masses are being thrashed by Demento’s war?

Rad's avatar

"Former Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino replied to Mamdani’s video (Business Insider link) by calling it β€œactually one of the scariest things I have seen. it won’t stop here,”

Lord, I certainly hope not!!! KEEP IT GOING!!!! And EVERYWHERE!!! Time to take back the cities!

I'd love to see this nationwide!

Texas and Florida realtor phones are ringing

Why in the one you get yuge tax on even properties worth 100k, cause no income tax dig, an in the other you will be actually underwater in a few years.

Linda1961 is proudly woke's avatar

I don't know about Texas, but I know one person who moved here (Upstate SC) from Florida because of the out of sight property taxes in Florida. When her husband died 4 years ago, she sold their house because it was too big for one person. She would have bought a condo nearby, as she had, and still has, so many friends there, but looked elsewhere because of the insurance. She had one friend already here, and since moving here, has made many more. Some of her Florida friends want to sell their houses and move, but can't get buyers because of the interest rates. Maybe they will get those buyers now - all those wealthy people fleeing NYC (actually fleeing from second homes in NYC).

motmelere's avatar

Boatloads of money media are trying to declare Mamdani a failure; money is a little bit scared right now.

Jenvinculosity's avatar

So weird they are not telling people to Give Him A Chance and Let Him Grow Into The Job the way they are for every Republican fuckwad.

Wonder why?

(That was the sarcasms. I do not wonder why. Fucking press corpse).

SO amused to see the Yaccarino cunt in an anxiety attack.

Ta, Dok. We call our east village tenement the pied-Γ -terre, but we walk up four flights and actually live there, and we're renters, not owners. Warehousing apartments SUCKS. I'm so glad we elected Zohran.

DHanlon's avatar

RHODE Island has enacted a similar tax on second homes over a certain value. They are calling it the Taylor Swift tax.
