Man, I hate the new JD Vance Dictionary. Under “Couch” it just says “sexual partner.”

“Same city? That’ll do.” How can you think you’re busting a massive conspiracy wide open and be so lazy that you can’t even be bothered to finish connecting the dots? I’ve put more effort into fact-checking school projects. In high school.

Like I was probably in Detroit at the same time as disgraced former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Should I talk to a lawyer?

As best as I can figure, if correct, it would demonstrate that Jack Smith and Fani Willis were both in the most populous city in Georgia at the same time. Which proves absolutely, literally nothing.

It’s all well and good to laugh at the dumb man for mixing up similarly sounding sports teams, but what I keep wondering is how did he see this playing out even if he had the facts straight?

I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I assume anyone who has to deny being a conspiracy theorist is DEFINITELY a conspiracy theorist.

“I am the code” is not quite as snappy as Judge Dredd’s catchphrase. But they’re about equal in disturbing authoritarian implication.

Also the powerful jerk teams actually won in all those sports movies. Sorry Michael Jordan, but a stretchy-armed buzzer-beater would radically flip the apparent outcome.

Print-on-demand version of Rocket to the Spark is here on Amazon. If you hate the techno-oligarchy (and why wouldn’t you?) you can buy the pdf version directly from me by following the ko-fi link in my profile.

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

But… No. He was Scrooge for exactly the same amount of time he was Ebenezer. Cuz that’s the guys name. And doesn’t ’A Christmas Carol’ already give us Scrooge’s origin with the first ghost???

That excuse makes sense for a doctor or a construction worker, but knowing about and addressing major American crises is literally part of his job, so… What was so much more pressing for those 22 hours, Mike? Because we know you weren’t passing laws.

I’m a reasonable man. Slow to anger and tolerant of others. But when you try to rhyme “spa” with “bar?” Then we gotta fight.

I heard he took his dog for a walk without bringing bags. The dog didn’t poop, but it could have. His mayorship is so cooked.

Fun! So Trump is the Joker, brought in by the mob (Republicans) to deal with Batman, the guy making them look like fools. Who is Obama in this metaphor. Further evidence that even the people who hate him can’t help but depict Obama as the coolest motherfucker in the universe.

I especially loved the “businesses exist to make money” breakdown. Fulfilling a self-stated purpose is not sufficient justification, because it can apply to literally anything.

Well, it may be expensive, but at least it’s disastrously harmful to society.

The classics are institutions that have shaped culture and enchanted generations of readers. They don’t need our help beyond basic availability.

Or just figure it out by context clues. Or just skip it cuz it’s not crucial to the story. In all seriousness, this is nowhere near the problem they’re making it out to be.

I grew up reading old books(thanks library!) and listening to old books(thanks LibriVox!), and when I ran into a reference I didn’t understand, I had to do something truly shocking. I had to LEARN!

Ya’ll, the show is called “Punky Duck.” A deal with one of the biggest corporations on the planet to create something with a technology that steals work from creators in order to cut other creators out of the creative process. You know… Punk?

Sure is a shame there’s nothing on the White House grounds to keep them occupied. There should be a garden with flowers of some kind. Maybe roses? I’m just spitballing.
