Does anyone else look at college football helmets and think of Saru from Star Trek Discovery?

So the Pac-12 has nine schools but the Big 10 has eighteen schools and the Big 12 has sixteen schools. Why can't they just make the numbers align. Seriously. My brain, it hurts.

The onion says that this is not a paid advertisement. I call BS. This is clearly a Marine Corps recruiting ad.
The back of an edition of The Onion satirical newspaper. A box of Crayola crayons has a rainbow of crayons showing. On the front of the box is a cartoon anthropomorphized crayon writing "even more crayon colors". The text of the "ad" says "hundreds of colors, one unbeatable taste." At the bottom in small text it says "not a paid advertisement".

Ok but what's he going to rename the Epstein Files? OH! How about the Pedo Package. That's up his alley.

This is why you keep awareness of your environment, not just for you but for others. And the chance to chest kick someone who clearly deserves it.

@merriam-webster.com, since "shenanigans" is a noun, would it be logical to have "shenan" as the verb tense? As in "were going out shenaning tonight" or if past tense, "I have shenaned before and will shenan again"? Just a thought.

Friends, if you like bluegrass music, I strongly recommen seeing Alison Kraus and Union Station on their current tour. The level of talent on stage is phenomenal & their joy in playing is palpable. 15/10 memorable evening. NoVa folks, they'll be back this way again mid-July. Might go again.

Friends. After years of the Chicago Pride Parade, I finally made it to the DC pride parade. I did not expect the consulates to go so hard and I love it.
The aggregated consulates of the European Union dance down 14th Street in Washington DC for the pride parade

I'm on the train and someone has a Crocs bag. Which. For some reason (my brain is done. d-u-n. done), made my brain start singing "croc, steady. Steady crocking all night long". So. Yeah. You're welcome.

Satan came for me so hard today that I got mad enough and literally stepped into the streetlight of an empty street and said "you know what, ok, let's go. Fuck it. Show yourself, coward. I've got energy for this."

Audiophile friends. I'm getting into vinyl and need a set up. Thinking turntable with built-in preamp + powered speakers. Needs to be a good beginner set, not breaking the bank. Recommendations?

Have we ruled out that he's actually building a super secure McDonald's under the ballroom? It's the only thing I can think that would make him so mad to be denied.

The declaration of independence hits differently these days.
Excerpt from the Declaration of Independence. 

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For lunch today I made a top tier grilled cheese. But then I realized that while swiss and cheddar are a solid combo, what other magic could I bring to the GC realm? Pepper jack? Gouda? I don't know. What are your go to cheeses, oh people of Bsky?

The fact that Jason Myers wasn't the MVP is ridiculous. The fact that his own coach and QB didn't acknowledge his major contribution to the win is a failure of leadership.

If only we would listen to Abraham Lincoln's wisdom.
A white stone mantelpiece is decorated with pine bough and white flowers. Above it is a profile rendering of President Abraham Lincoln. On the mantel is carved the phrase:

"Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."

I know that there is variation in how much people can picture things in their mind's eye. Which got me thinking... Can other people hear music in their mind? The only way I can sing is to learn a song and then sing what I hear in my head.
