I think I'd have a lot of wild stories to tell if I could remember any of them.

Fun fact: two of George Clooney's relatives guest star in the first three episodes of ER. Rosemary Clooney is in S1E3 and her son Miguel Ferrer is in the pilot.

This is the only Bill Ackman I recognize

The framing of this is hilarious: Democrats deeply worried about the repercussions of a victory www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/m...

I'm pretty sure it was this Dick Cheney comic that got me fired from The Washington Post. It was the first time they refused to run one of my weekly comics (after over ten years), and my comic was discontinued soon after. From 2007:

I would say that I hope he died with regret in his heart, but, well, you know.

Is there a gravepissing app? I have someone I want to add to the top of my list. I want to visit every day until grass no longer grows there

They told me I would get more conservative as I got older. I didn't believe them. But I, too, hate the smell of onions. I get it now

I’m old enough to remember when Dick Cheney was the worst person I’d ever seen hold political office.

Let's hope this is the start of a trend.

Chris' puzzles make the best gifts, I've given them to a whole bunch of people over the years.

Has anyone else watched Doc? It's about someone with a terrible brain and a bad memory realizing every fifteen minutes or so that they've been an awful person at some point in the past. Very relatable

One thing that I think we need to talk about around shame is that shaming is the lowest stakes and most acceptable option for handling this kind of behavior, and if you're going to ignore shame you're really not going to like the other options for how societies handle this stuff.

all the anti-mamdani hysteria seems to assume that we have had a long succession of Extremely Good Mayors in new york

I hope every moment of the rest of your metastasizing existence is incomprehensibly painful, Scott.

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable
