Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

The “No Donalds” Club

My Flying Nun reference brings to mind several 60’s TV shows involving unusual abilities - Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, My Favorite Martian, Mister Ed. Seems like it was a hot theme for a while in sitcoms, but I can’t think of any later ones where it resurfaced

The Spying Nun, starring Sally Field

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Who could withstand his beige fury? His wet-noodle resolve? He is…NERF MAN!

This is gross

Don’t update to Mevis 2.2.6, it has a serious bug

A throw like that makes you wonder if this is Damn Yankees, but for football.

Part of the way social media makes people crazy is notifying them of every single damn thing. Turn it all off. Look at the site when you want to. Never, ever allow it to make your phone make noise. Nothing that important is going to happen here.

I find these “check with Allstate first” commercials to be exceedingly stupid and annoying

Ruin a movie or TV show series by adding ‘if you know what I mean’ Knight Rider, if you know what I mean

She’s confusing him with the Bloody Mary divination ritual

There’s a long history of Zodiac killing, which is why Zodiac killing is OK

I recall filling out a questionnaire. “I am in <blank> health” I wrote “good” I was asked, “Just good?” But that’s not something you get to ask without having defined the scale.

Take care of the ball. No fumbles! <Lionel Hutz grabs pen> Take care of the ball? No, fumbles!

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.

Trump having mad cow would explain a lot of things. It’s irresponsible for the media not to follow up on this

I’m moving from “Abolish ICE and bar every member from ever working in law enforcement again“ to “Abolish ICE and put every member in a public registry like they do for sex offenders.”

“I would like to respond to your inquiry with an interpretive dance”

It’d be kinda fun for media outlets to air complete interviews from other occasions, where they had edited out the gibberish

Let’s see how many employee of the month awards he can get

Participation trophies, honorable mention ribbons, certificates from a Jiffy Lube, just send them all

Desperate to shift blame. They’d put it on Biden if there was a path to do so.

Big men catching the ball on both sides in this game. Gotta love THAT!

I hope the collective response is Michael Corleone’s “My offer is this: Nothing”

<child voice> Where do trains come from?

Josh Allen, meet regression to the mean. Regression, this is Josh.

Something important about how regular folks have responded to the occupation in Minnesota is that it has created a permission structure for other people across the country to feel like they can fight this regime. Over the past couple of weeks I've seen a lot of people finally step off the sidelines.

Also: who’s “we”? Is Eric Schmitt going to go live in Greenland, on the ”frontier?” That probably could’ve been arranged, before all this nonsense popped up.

The next president (assuming they are a democrat) will need to have a new foreign-affairs cabinet-level post: Secretary of Apologies

Water balloons! 😂😂😂

I finally see that iOS 26 still has slo-mo video, they just made it harder to see options with their redesign, because they’re fucking idiots. “Don’t solve existing problems. Create new ones!”

Trump doesn’t care about California (and doesn’t understand its economic impact) They should offer to buy Florida.

This is the Malcolm Nance post I mentioned the other day with alt text

Rival shot-put athletes: Yeeted Rivalry

Sheep? Bleated Rivalry. Adventurers in mosquito-infested swamps? Deeted rivalry. Hackers? Leeted rivalry. Butchers? Meated rivalry.

We’ve seen how Trump treats rental property he acts like he owns. Seen the East Wing lately?

Reminds me of the description of Russia “retreating their way to victory” when fools attacked them in winter.

I was thinking about this, and the Minnesota update I reposted earlier. Small minded people like Miller think everybody is secretly like them because they can’t fathom people with different motivations, so he couldn’t anticipate that there would be solidarity that cross racial lines.

Outside Gracie Mansion. This is his job. But dare I day it he seems genuinely affected and happy to be there. There’s potentially immense power in that.

I was today-years-old when I learned that bloodworms are the only animals that make their teeth out of copper: www.livescience.com/bloodworms-f...

Too many democrats: “Aw, that sounds like work. Besides my focus group told me not to”

I’ll go a step past don’t listen if democrats tell you not to organize or protest. Take note of who says this and vote them out if you get the chance. They are not leaders, and not the representatives we need.

If democrats tell you not to organize or protest, don’t listen.
