If the shit really hits the fan (the US comes apart due to division and debt), I'd propose New England and New York join Canada as separate provinces. That increases Canada's GDP by ~160%, making it a solid third place behind China and whatever's left of the USA.

I've always secretly believed that You're So Vain really *is* about me. When I walk into a party, it does take a while for me to get my sea legs.

Why can't a fighters clothes be weighed separately? They weigh her clothed. Then (if needed) she goes into a private space (verified ahead of time to be empty), disrobes, and hands her clothes out to the official who weighs them and subtracts that amount from the original weigh-in amount.

I know I'm naive, but it seems like, if the toilet (US government) gets full enough with shit (debt), they will eventually have to flush it (print a hyperinflationary amount of dollars).

The ASMR deportation video and the "Closing Time" post make these the worst people that ever lived. The Nazis did terrible things too, but I don't remember them ever trying to get cute with it.

I want a sequel to the Take on Me video. Did the lady want an actual sweaty guy to appear in her room? She could be married or just not want to deal with this tight now. Can he go back?

It always seems like you're about to run out of parchment paper until you realize that there is no inner cardboard tube. It's parchment paper all the way down. I feel there is a deep truth here.

Why is Arthur's Theme stuck in my head? (The Chrisopher Cross song. Not the one about a cartoon Aardvark.) Is it in an ad or something? Has a current popular song sampled/copied a piece of it? Am I supposed to go back and rewatch the Dudley Moore movie?

When you hit a milestone birthday year, you find out all the things that were born the same year as you. 4 years ago I found out that I'm the same age as Starbucks, NPR, the NASDAQ, and Bangladesh.

I don't know what kind of hopium you have to be smoking to believe that this time he's really going down. I'd love to be proven wrong, but his followers have taken every opportunity to show that they enjoy his evil. And, if all else fails, he'll nuke Venezuela to distract people's attention.
