Great, now I have Le-mon shark do do do do do do stuck in my head.

Reminds me of how people think Congress is corrupt, but their rep is fine.

From Hell, Eva Braun waves hello.

I'm waiting for someone to write Ted Cruz a "we're quitting" letter on the back of some wallpaper, signed "Many Soldiers".

The camera lingered too long on him as he was on the turf. I don't know if they realized exactly what they were looking at, but still.

AI can't do that. AI doesn't have friends.

Even high quality noise cancelling headphones can only do so much.

That doesn't even cover three days of groceries for a family of four these days, unless you're living on ramen and beans.

I've heard more than one Latter Day Saint say that MLM stands for Mormons Losing Money.

As an American with an Irish last name, I take some solace in the fact that if we start "dewhiting" people, Rufo will be ahead of me in line. Shoulda had a last name without a vowel at the end, Chris.

When he runs out of brown people, who will he attack next? I mean, one of Brexit's major drivers was pensioners who didn't like the fact that their plumbers spoke Polish.

It's the endpoint of what Bob Altemeyer wrote about in The Authoritarians.

Turns out that pork was the motor oil that kept the engine of government from seizing.

Over at Lawyers, Guns, and Money they are fond of saying that things would be easier if our enemies were merely venal.

I think about what kind of societal lift it would take to get people to mask more than 90% of the time in public, when the pandemic didn't do it, and I think that flapping my arms to fly is more likely.

The best part of that is the fact that LSAT performance is strongly correlated with performance on the bar exam. So, congratulations on passing the bar, three and a half years early.

Its body was found staked next to a dozen fire ant mounds and covered in honey.

I hate the fact that the bears came out of their campaign for wet wipes. They were "Wet, but just barely." Yes, they were a fucking pun that persisted; proof that there is no God. Btw, the "wet" party was said by a cartoon duck. That poor duck was the Brian Dunkleman of this campaign.

Sounds like the drink was missing something...maybe the vodka should have been garnished with coal dust?

Hank Williams Jr. wrote a song called "If The South Woulda Won" that not surprisingly doesn't mention black people at all. It does mention sending every girl child to Georgia to learn to smile, because the misogyny can't just be implied.

Not for nothing, but that particular bit of AI slop is some of the most uncanny valley shit I've ever seen.

If you had written something like "Langley hit .400 against guys who drove taxis in the off-season", I may have been useless for a few minutes.

This is like one of those 19th Century baseball pitchers who has records that can't be broken because modern baseball is so much harder, except reversed in time.

Sounds like you're taking up knitting!

A ridiculous response. What real man doesn't want a woman he can look up to? 😉

5'10" is neither tall nor short for a man, at least if you're not Dutch. I'm exactly 5’9”. I don't mind, because every time I'm standing on a raised step beside my wife, I ask her, "Would you still love me if I were this tall?" She always makes a face and says no.

Back in 2004, Iowa beat Penn St. 6 to 4, leading a friend of mine to pen the following haiku: Penn State final score Twenty-five or six to four Pete Cetera groans

When I was a kid, they were the brains of my make believe robots.

Pantyhose won't truly be back until they are once again sold in plastic eggs that serve no purpose.

Well, the invisible rabbit needs a drink too.

She wanted to do it (sleeping in and no school on Friday were incentives) and it cuts tuition in half, but I still think it's stupid to ask an 18 year old to figure out a major.

I see your AP calc and raise you my daughter getting her associates degree at the same time as her high school diploma. This was not a thing when I was a kid. We've been lucky.

Civ 2 got me into Civ, but I think that Civ 3 is the platonic ideal of Civ 2. I've spent so many thousands of hours spent playing Civ 3.

I think about how we are vigilant about not using GFE gear for IRAD projects (that's capital equipment only), despite the current regime breaking every financial law and rule ever conceived.

I remember you did a Tides set in Italy during that plague, and the despair of that episode still sits with me years later.
