Some days just got me like
Comic panel from AstroBoy omnibus 1, page 663. A robot dressed like the grim reaper says "welcome to (your late 30s)" while professor ochanomizu says "egads! It's the grim reaper". Your late 30s was crudely written over the words "robot land".

I have an idea for an art thing but no idea what the execution would be. But I have a rough outline of the direction and or vibe.
Map of video game quest Izad's Treasure Elder Scrolls Fandom powered by Wikia. Movie quote from Memento over the image that says, "Leonard Shelby: Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts."

Made it to a writer's retreat this last weekend. Must have been productive cause I didn't get any writing done but the smell of rubbing alcohol made my stomach turn afterwards.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Not trying to sound ungrateful for anything that highlights Elizabeth Taylor's body of work, but I think Taylor Swift missed the mark by excluding Pearl Slaghoople in her music video.
Elizabeth Taylor as Pearl Slaghoople in the live action Flintstones film from 1994. She is resplendent in stone age jewelry and animal print clothing looking as if she just realized who the murderer is in a mystery.

My brain had this conversation with itself while I was trying to think of 5 jobs. Cause I've been a "cook" at least 5 times I think... I had too many jobs in college.
A meme with Zoe Deschanel asking Andy Samburg to list 5 things jobs you've had and he says cook. Zoe says that's on me. I set the bar too low.

Oh no if we say Abolish ICE they might get mad and do things like shoot American citizens or occupy Democratic-run cities or invoke the Insurrection Act
Abolish ICE? It’s a Slogan Some Democratic Critics of ICE Would Abolish.

As Democrats grow more alarmed about the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration raids in American cities, some worry that calls to eliminate the agency will distract from efforts to rein it in.
