I'm sorry but "I don't believe Helen Keller existed. There's just no way she actually flew that plane." is perhaps the best 1st date icebreaker of all time...

Dear Magic Curséd Monkey Paw, I wish that every time someone wrote the header "BREAKING:" into their tweet, they would actually break a bone.

The problem with the "Four Lights" bit here is that, by the end of it, Picard had been broken enough that he admitted that he really *did* see five lights.

Look, the fact of the matter is that it's a very tough decision for Candidate Vance to make, given that his potential VP obviously needs to be less charismatic than JD which is... borderline impossible. Schmitt comfortably sails under that bar.

It’s actually fine that the US govt doesn’t want to regulate AI development I mean, just look at the US railroads. The govt allowed the railroad tycoons to do whatever they wanted & it all worked out just fine <opens book called ‘History of Rail’ to pg. 1 & begins reading> Oh… Oh no…

it's gotta be at least a little frustrating to have the given name "Yi," & know that there's a perfectly good letter that *is* the sound of your name... but *The-Linguist-Powers-That-Be* have stipulated that it's designated as an "Uhh" sound... Maddening.

It's a writing system based 1stly on an imported writing system ultimately incompatible with any language but its own, 2ndly on a phonetic attempt to correct for that 1st problem, & tertiarily as a 3rd phonetic set to show specifically foreign words. Of course it's a hot mess.

It's kinda weird that the Steven Seagull movie "Under Siege" has absolutely nothing to do with a siege, & is in fact all about a relatively simple act of piracy. I think Steven might not've thought that out.

One of the funniest things about being an acct primarily associated with being reputable history, is that reaction in any debate when the side I come out against goes, “Wait! But you’re a history guy! You’re supposed to support my narrative!” And I look down and whisper, “No.”

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

Maybe we're nuking the Moon, maybe we're banning diesel exports, maybe we're building a giant golden penis, maybe we're converting the MET into an Army barracks, maybe we're buying vacuum-sealed TV steaks. It really is anyone's guess.

I had to end an interview today. Here's what I learned about leadership. Solid résumé. Firm handshake (iron ring, but we'll get to that). Offered her water. She said "thank you." “Oh, you shouldn’t have,” I said. That’s a formal admission of debt. She now owes me. “No, really, thank you.” TWICE!
