Here’s a very affordable Rolls Royce for just $14,500 on eBay. It does have 141,000 miles. It’s a four-door, left-hand (American) steering, beautiful interior, looks great. It’s a 2000, but I bet none of your friends can tell what year it is. Look, they even park it on the street!
You can own a Rolls Royce right now. You don’t have to be rich. There’s one for sale today on eBay. It’s $5,000 and has only 70,000 miles. Of course, you need to live near a dealership that can service it, and just an oil change will probably run close to $1,000, and it’s a 1975, but you can own it.
Funny not funny. The Ventura Housing authority will open its waitlist for housing vouchers for very-low income people. This is how people get out of homelessness. At the bottom it says, "Correspondence is by mail only." They assume everyone has an address or can afford a PO Box. Can't make this up.
Dear @govandybeshear.bsky.social There’s an easy solution to the problem of Mitch McConnell being unavailable… Begin the process to appoint his successor now. If McConnell objects, he can invite you to meet with him, as well as his doctors, to see for yourself that he can return to work.
Republicans have FOUR medical doctors who are senators and colleagues of Mitch McConnell. Let them go and examine him. Then they can tell everyone what his condition is… under oath, of course.
I’ve wondered if the Facebook ads had fake reviews. Yes, they do, and here’s the proof: Every review here does not use capital letters, and a number use “tbh” as an abbreviation. It’s funny because “tbh” stands for “to be honest” and they’re not being honest.
Not Apple only, apparently, there’s a different one for Windows.
While you’re working on your book, I’m here to tell you that you can have a cake made to look like your (future) published books, and it’s delicious. Congratulations on your past and future successes!
Go to Google. Search on Gamer ignores child. Read some of the endless posts by (almost always) women complaining that their partner ignored the child during gaming, even when the child was suffocating, fell, or was dying. Here’s just one:
@dieworkwear.bsky.social Please help this man. He is talking about the proper silver to use and his suit is a nightmare! I can’t pay attention to what he is saying!!
Here’s an article arguing that there’s a prompt to use with AI so no one can tell it’s AU. Notice that in the three sentences, two are unintelligible.
This is terrible. It came up on Reels on Facebook but is apparently on TikTok.
I have no idea why people post fake stories to Reddit. In this one, the OP left in the info from AI. LOL but weird.
Khaleesi wants you to know that she is in no way asleep, she’s merely resting her eyes.
Technically, you could say that Trump is “old money” and he married a woman who wore a lot less than a bikini.
The emoji is the “Face exhaling emoji” used to express a exhaustion, relief, or disappointment.
The president gave a speech tonight and he’s not trending. Yes, I have ‘politics’ set as one of my interests.
It’s probably best that I didn’t answer the door when the Jehovah’s Witnesses came. I would have been tempted to ask them if they thought they’d be one of the 144,000 who would go to heaven.
I’m pleased with this batch of cookies - slightly underbaked so they’re soft in the center, and I used half dark- and half milk-chocolate chips.
Oops, someone in India forgot to remove their AI prompt that’s written in Hindi:
