You’ve heard of skorts, jorts, and jeggings, clothes that double duty! But what about clothes that do nothing, serve no purpose, achieve no goals? Well, now there’s something for the underachiever in us all! Introducing useless pants! Useless pants, the pants that don’t keep you warm OR dry! Useless pants, for when shorts are too little, but pants are too much! Get your useless pants today! (Go Fug Yourself)
Today in “I’m Sorry, What” news, the NFL goes through 80,000 Uncrustables per year. That’s 3,600-4,300 Uncrustables a week. Is the NFL propping up the Uncrustables empire? Is eating that many Uncrustables even healthy? (Popsugar)
Olivia Rodrigo went on The Tonight Show and shared a story about being detained at the US-Canadian border and questioned by federal agents. They were looking for Olivia Rodriguez, and apparently didn’t look at Olivia Rodrigo’s passport to verify her name. It happened at 3 AM, and the night shift makes everyone wacky, but still. Check the passport first! (Celebitchy)

What’s going on with Starbucks? Well, leaving aside the quality of their coffee, they’ve made their stores unpleasant to be in. You used to be able to comfortably while away an afternoon in a Starbucks, working or reading or catching up with friends. Now they’ve renovated all their stores so that they feel like airport sitting areas. They’re uncomfortable and impersonal and seem to have reduced seating so that unless you’re just totally socially disconnected, you feel bad lingering because other people want seats. I basically only hit up the Starbucks in my local Target when I’m doing my grocery shopping, other than that, I’ve abandoned the chain. And again, that’s not even about the quality of their coffee!
