A Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup "It’s factually wrong; they didn’t row, they sailed over the Atlantic”

OK my NASA friends, this sets the tone from the top. You don’t need to follow “rules” and should disobey directives that you don’t like. Go for it- do whatever the fuck you want! 🧪 www.cbsnews.com/news/nasa-ja...

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Just saw someone putting down the writers on a show, then in the next post, begging to work on it. I can think of better first steps.

for Americans new to the sport, 3-2 in football is roughly equivalent to 817-620 in one of your sports.

When a 6-3 vote that a Constitutional amendment means what it says is a "victory," We might be kinda screwed.

On this day in 1982 both Bladerunner and The Thing were released in the US. Both flopped and were not received well. Both have gone on to be recognized as classics and have redefined their genres. I feel like today should be a holiday for lovers of movies and everyone who has ever failed.

Every time I make the typo "grabity" part of me wants to argue that it should have been called that all along.

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

I think that the slimy pool has done more for national morale than the clean pool ever did and Congress needs to pass a law giving it to the algae

It is very funny to hear objective reporters say having a ufc fight at the WH contradicts the idea that he is an old man who falls asleep in public. Did he fight? Does watching a fight require any particular vigor? What are we doing here

Please stop talking about the Trump regime as bread and circuses. I've yet to see them provide any bread.

The Knicks victory is generating so much passion and excitement that if it ran in a primary election, Establishment Democrats would not support it.

Yep. The value of corporations rolling out the rainbow carpet isn't what's in their heart of hearts, it's the society-wide signaling of "acceptance is good, bigotry is bad." Even if entirely insincere, it tells society "we think the majority of our customers expect this," and that's good!

People who have spent much time shop-talking about comics with me know I have a perennial gripe that not enough people in comics are trying to make an Opus. Too much trying to amuse the public or engaging current trends. My example of Who To Be was typically Marjane Satrapi. What a loss.

Persepolis was read all over the world—a true international phenomenon. Assigned in every class subject under the sun. During the Obama years, West Point cadets were assigned the book. There's never been anything like it; never anyone like her. What an awful world that couldn't hold her longer.

Seriously thinking about getting a retro furby on ebay and then the next time someone displays a lack of fundamental understanding re genAI I'll whip it out, let them be enchanted and distracted so we can get on with the business of the meeting.

9/11 was carried out by 19 men. Fifteen were Saudi nationals. We responded by spending 25 years bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and now Iran. Nearly a million dead. $5.8 trillion spent. Bin Laden said bleed America through endless war. We wrote him the check.
