I once blew the bottom 2 gears out of a Mazda 6 spd the day before I absolutely had to drive from Seattle to Houston. It made it 2500 miles, but to see them edge out Honda is wild.

A stupid, petulant child followed by stupid, petulant children.

There's a guy on Twitter who posted about Rob Reiner's perfect run of films and included North. Every time someone calls out North, he says "Not the time, 2 people are dead." It's making me laugh until I cry, and I'm confident Rob Reiner would have found it hilarious.

I simply don't care about reaching an audience with my takes. This is about yelling stuff into a void so that it leaves my head.

Und damit guten Morgen - wie gewohnt mit einem aktuellen Bild der Sonne per Satellit GOES-19.

OK well this just means the target audience shifts from my nephews to me.

I had a massive spinal fusion as a small child in late 1987 after a mid-86 cancer diagnosis & radiation. The only reason we stopped watching The Princess Bride (Sep 87) was when the hundreds of stitches & collapsed lung hurt too much to keep laughing. An unbelievable light in our darkest hours.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Who the fuck stabs ROB REINER to death? "Oh hey tonight's a good night to settle my blood vendetta against little old beloved Jewish comedy legend and noted early child welfare philanthropist Rob Reiner, yes indeedy." Like wtf?! Has to be robbery or something.

Me: My leg muscles are tight and spasming. My physical therapist: Exercise them lots. Me: Now they're doing it lots. My PT: Exercise them lots more. Me: Alright I'm gonna need to see your transcript.

I finally finished Megabonk T2 on a throwaway one-off run on Tony McZoom. I may have found my guy, or I may just be done with this. I'm REALLY not good with these "break the meta" bullet heaven survivorlikes.

How it feels to keep paying the lawn guys in the off-season even when the grass hasn't grown an inch.

Watching the "Grant" miniseries and as with all other Civil War-themed movies and documentaries it is incredibly hard to cast General Sherman because he was genuinely such a unique wild-looking bad ass.

Think about how much more money WaPo subscribers would have for food if they cancelled their subscriptions

"Bob they told us to stop shooting the plasma jet into a bucket!" "Shut up Peter. You used to be cool."

This is important science & I'm sure the experiments were conducted with repeatable & appropriate rigor but as someone who has been present at the genesis of work like this I'm like 78% sure it started with a, "Hey, watch this!"

Get their asses.

BNO misspelled "fucking Chad" but we know what they meant.

Me to every thinking rational American every day:

With the subprime mortgage crisis many of us woke up 1 day & were all, "What's going on in the real estate market? What's a balloon ARM? A CDS?" Now even your grandmother knows AI is a bubble. There will be no surprise, so why aren't we preparing? Bailouts for normal folks, cuffs for others.

19, possibly only 17, because I've only ever kinda touched a rotary phone+typewriter+record player. To say I used them with any kind of purpose/regularity just isn't true. I used a phone booth as recently as 2010 though in a rural area.

Scientists are preparing for their best look at it yet.

It's going to be incredibly hard for me to largely stfu about the TX senate primary but so, so much better for my mental health & I bless the skeets already deleted cuz it's only gonna get worse once someone is on track to lose & the butthurt erupts from either camp.

Okay niche reference that definitely dates me, BUT:

I heard HHS is gonna launch a "men's health" initiative including easing access to hormones like testosterone &, ignoring the whole "Trump admin suddenly behind HRT" thing, can you imagine these greasy little groyper incels now all roided up en masse? Nightmare stuff.

It is a national tragedy that too many corporate & public policies still rely on "but the CDC says" because they are fucking worthless now. The number of arguments I, a cancer survivor with damaged heart & lungs, have had w/ healthcare workers IN HOSPITALS over basic shit like masks is staggering.

I *really* love a show that is so unique and out there I don't dare click the 👍 or ✅️ or whatever because it's such a bizarre one off that anything the algorithms assume is like it due to whatever inaccurate metadata genre tag they slapped on it will never appeal to me.

MacKenzie Scott has given $26B away, $1.2B this yr. She is praised by non-profits for a hands-off, low oversight approach. And she should be taxed into the fucking dirt of a MERE eight-figure net worth. No billionaire exists w/o acres of pain & tears. The taxes are the seed of righting the wrongs.

I saw "Fury Road" on a very respectable newish Regal screen with digital everything. Immediately went home and bought tickets for Pacific Science Center's Boeing-renovated full IMAX next showing yelling "BIGGER, LOUDER!" at checkout. It was, dear reader. Oh how it was.

We are just having a great time watching this thing, and it's only through relentless scientific progress we had the instruments in this moment to do so. Fund science. Tax billionaires.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

This took me far too long to make. If only there was some kind of machine could've done it for me…

Return.

"The best version the alleged rightsholder has" should be Tubi's motto.

Every obvious argument I would make about cost, radiation shielding, maintenance, management, latency, etc. is already made for me in the replies. Good job, BlueSky.

Obama and his appointees sure loved shoveling this guy federal contracts for OUR space program and I'm never going to forget it. He didn't start the ball (Dec 08) but had 8 years and a supermajority start to reverse course.

BlueSky:

All the while they've been making impressive, if not perfectly smooth, progress in their own space program, which has LONG been a primary ambition for them. Anime tiddies will not protect your satellite infrastructure. Ofc there are predictive algorithms for weapon interception, but those existed.

To almost 0 fanfare & w/ no buzz even among the epidemiologists I managed to pick up here from Xitter, the new Novavax formulation is available at my CVS. It has a new name like Nuvaxid. It is not on the site & you can't make an appt. Call to confirm, but critical to folks like me sensitive to mRNA.

Not for nothing, but when I was being treated for an inoperable malignancy in my spinal cord I got regular cognitive and intelligence tests to make sure the primitive imaging at the time wasn't missing something spread to my brain. I've never wished it to be true for another person until him.

Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from. We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

Please people, our entire higher ed ecosystem is begging you, look at more than USNWR's bullshit rankings & the tuition top-line before making a decision you'll carry with you the rest of your life. I saw a fair # of classmates crash out in debt just b/c they were in the wrong place.

It's tragic when it happens to anyone but we throw fucking CHILDREN off coverage and out of care, half dead and with no hope of recovery. Oh and we leave them to fend with the costs & consequences of decisions they DID. NOT. MAKE. alone & without help the rest of their lives.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

Big Alpha move to threaten wolves. At least tell me it wasn't because some DOGElord Ctrl+F'ed "Mexican"? At least?

A film critic I watch and don't agree with on all things once cited this as an example of mature, restrained, professional masculine behavior, and I think it really holds up. Hell I'd even want my nephews to see it as a way to be frustrated but also resolve and carry on. Good thing sis loves TNG.

Much prettier to you meatbags than how I see it: 10111010111000110101110111001101101000101011101110100010111010101011110110101100110110101010101111

This would be unforgivably grotesque on any high-ranking government official, anywhere, but one from a country whose people have a history like his? I don't need to go off on them. Their leadership is perfectly capable of shockingly insulting themselves.
