Once again, we should not have a death penalty. But so long as we do, firing squad is the actually humane way to do it. But we don't do that because it allows society to understand that the death penalty is fucking barbaric and that killing people is not an appropriate use of government power.

My official statement: WMU got screwed and also didn’t get screwed, because examining tenths of a second at the end of the game depends on having perfect timekeeping for the previous 30 minutes. It’s a lot like The Spot: the refs’ decision is ultimately arbitrary, nothing matters, eat Arby’s.

1. This student is almost certainly fake, but 2. It shows the goal common to so many of these midwits is to accelerate and automate the credentialing process, because they don’t see a difference between short term recall and real learning.

(1/2) Since I haven't seen anyone else mention this one... It was an open secret that Dolly Parton secretly funded a massive number of southern high school bands, most especially predominantly Black high schools. A marching band member in her youth, Dolly never forgot the joy that playing snare drum

We watch this every year in our house. It’s ridiculous and cheesy, but it works because of Dolly (and a banger of an extended cameo from John Ritter). youtu.be/_kkVCg5cCQQ?...

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.

There were years when the only tapes my mom had in the car were Amy Grant's "Heart in Motion" and Neil Diamond's "Hot August Nights." We also listened to lots of Detroit oldies/classic rock radio, so the Motown singles catalog is embedded in my soul. After that, it's Beatles and Billy Joel.

I think we've failed on a global level to appreciate the screaming void inside of so many people that insists it can be filled by dominating others, but somehow it's still never enough. And there's a connection between personal success and this psychopathic drive, like the research on CEOs.
