Relevant xkcd: xkcd.com/1348/

Two stick-figure characters talk. The younger one asks if the older remembers life before the internet. The older replies that it was “so boring,” just sitting there all the time, “the worst.” When the younger suggests it might have been more fulfilling, the older shuts it down—“wasn’t worth it”—and insists that while people still get bored now, “not like we did.”

In 1957 Batman donned a rainbow suit to distract criminals because Robin was injured and he didn’t want people drawing connections to an injured Dick Grayson. Right-wing commentators are freaking out about Batman going woke, proving the rainbow suit still distracts the bad guys 68 years later.

They followed it up by interviewing these Americans who all agreed that Trump and Vance did an amazing job and weren't disgraceful at all

"Roaring Twenties 2.0" Remind me, how did the Roaring Twenties 1.0 end, again? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/m...

screenshot from the NYT that reads: Robert Shinkle

We expect that Trump will usher in a new golden era for America. That's why we're dressed the way we are. This is the beginning of the Roaring Twenties 2.0. You're going to see so much economic prosperity, the cost of energy going down, while American hegemony increases dramatically. It's very hopeful right now - way more than his first term. There's been a lot of lessons learned.

Screenshot from Mad Men where Don asks Stan “Does that make you think of suicide?” And he replies, “of course. That’s what’s so great about it.”

Original St Nick: *living a life of generosity and resurrecting murdered, pickled children so that no one remembers you were actually a Klingon.*

I noticed that medieval depictions of the original St. Nicholas show him with what appears to be a butt in the middle of his forehead and now I can’t unsee it

Socrates, the original Reply Guy

When I began to talk with him, I could not help thinking that he was not really wise, although he was thought wise by many, and still wiser by himself; and (begin highlighted text) thereupon I tried to explain to him that he thought himself wise, but was not really wise; and the consequence was that he hated me, (end highlighted text) and his enmity was shared by several who were present and heard me. So I left him, saying to myself, as I went away: Well, although I do not suppose that either of us knows anything really beautiful and good, I am better off than he is,

For real, though, are we living in a simulation? Is this a test of how much absurdity we can take before we start to question if any of this is real?

In a statement, Trump said that Musk and Ramaswamy would be leading the “Department of Government Efficiency,” an idea championed by Musk. Trump said the department would operate outside of government, while partnering with the White House and its budget office to provide recommendations for overhauling federal operations. Musk has adopted the nickname “DOGE” for the commission, a reference to a meme-based cryptocurrency he also touted.

First iPhones everywhere in Ted Lasso and now the Vision Pro in Killers of the Flower Moon. Apple product placement is getting ridiculous.

Good morning to everyone but especially this Wikipedia editor who wanted us all to know that Slavic huts don't *actually* walk on giant chicken legs. Wasn't sure personally but this really cleared it up.

screenshot from Wikipedia that reads:

The stumps with roots may be uprooted and laid in a new place as in the example exhibited in Skansen, or in ground where it was felled. Like Baba Yaga's hut, these are normally cramped for a person, though unlike Baba Yaga's house they do not actively walk and also do not contain a stove, being intended as storehouses and not for living.

“come, shopper, let us feast on the flesh of lesser kiwi. Do not balk. It is not repulsive. It is not profane. Look upon my hands, my eyes, my feet. He is no more kin to me than Neanderthals were to you, and they shall both meet the same fate.”

The meme where knights are gathered around a table, laying their swords down in unison. "Food waiting to be served", "lava lamps, "easy bake oven", "reptiles", and
"indoor plants" are all unifying around
"lightbulbs are warm"
