"Worst Nobel Peace Prize winner ever" is a high bar to clear, but people keep trying

Absolute legend

Holy hell, what an obituary

I'm starting to think that the moderate position is not only to abolish ICE, but to strip every single ICE agent of their citizenship.

I just got a marketing email from some broker asking me if I have ever considered selling (my employer, an extremely large public institution). I'm thinking about giving them a price. I could become the George C Parker of the 21st century en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_...

JUST IN: Judge Mehta rules that Trump/Russ Vought's termination of environmental grants during the shutdown — targeted solely at states that voted for Kamala Harris — violated the 5th Amendment's Equal Protection clause and orders them restored. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

That's why you always go for 2

Just watched this Italian movie where Terence Stamp shows up at a wealthy family's home, sleeps with the maid, then the son, then the wife, then the daughter & finally the dad. They all fall in love with him, he leaves, and they all lose their minds. Can't believe someone stole my life story.

Just watched Primate, a horror movie where the least realistic thing was a couple of linguistics professors owning a $10 million Hawaii mansion. (Someone has been misappropriating grant funds)

Curt Cignetti: "I'm really not thinking about the next game, I'm thinking about cracking open a beer"

Time for the Wizards to make one more move and create the most chaotic backcourt ever.

This is the most fucked up thing I have read today, which is saying something considering the sort of day we are all having.

Any sort of soft white bread, creamy peanut butter (generic or any major brand), red raspberry preserves (any brand). A bit more P than J, and as much of each as you can without any leaking out. When it comes to PB&J, I am about as basic as it gets. I want it to taste like it did when I was 5.

The NBA claims the WNBA player's offer will result in $700 million in losses. I did the math for everyone. The math says the NBA is essentially arguing they will only break even if the union caves this week. So why are NBA owners investing in the WNBA? wagesofwins.substack.com/p/the-nba-as...

Good luck, but I don't know how you move a max contract when the guy isn't good enough to start for any team in the league.

Ballymena riots six months on: fear, formidable obstacles and official silence

Almost got run over by a car while running on the sidewalk this morning. Good to finally be home.

This is literally the first image on the "how to read a multimeter" wikihow page

Look, the SEC is really more of a basketball conference

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Watched a light-hearted action comedy where the climax involved Reacher and The King of Queens remorselessly murdering hundreds of children.

My take on Belikin beer, the national beer of Belize: it is much better than Cisk, the national beer of Malta.

It turns out that geckos have a very loud, annoying call, and it is not delivered with a cute English accent. Geico has been lying to us.

Got on a plane to fly to Belize this afternoon and we were delayed 3 hours because the door wouldn't close. They had to find another door and install it while we sat on the tarmac at Hartsfield

If you need spousal gift advice, you should ask your kids. They have great ideas.

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

This is the setup for a grift. She's gonna launch a podcast and be selling supplements within 6 months.

I'm more interested in what movies aren't Christmas movies. The Santa Clause, nope body horror. A Christmas Story, nope memoir of an abusive childhood. The Muppet Christmas Carol, nope erotic thriller.

RFK loves killing children more than I have ever loved anything.

anyway here’s rob and carl reiner reenacting the end of the princess bride bc why not

Now watching a Bogart movie where his character is named "Dix Steel" which is the most gay porn name ever created.

Just watched an old detective film from the 50s where the lead is an ex-cop who ruined his life with alcohol. When his young son disappears, he sobers up to investigate, but then has to get drunk again to cure the shakes and solve the case.

And then there’s the story about Alex Karp’s not-at-all-weird interview (for lack of a better word) with Oswald Mosley’s grandson for a senior position at Palantir.

I guess today is an appropriate time to post this

When asked why he was paid so much just for acting, Laurence Olivier said "They don't pay me for the acting; they pay me for the waiting." which I always try to remember when I have to deal with the worst parts of my job, because...

At least George looks annoyed about this

Daughter had an interview today. The hiring manager's assistant brings her into the room, and after they leave, the hiring manager says, "This position will replace my assistant, who is having health problems so we have to let her go. I mean, you saw her face, she is obviously not well."

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

I can’t emphasize enough how much you need to watch this until the end

Watched the Netflix show Untamed, and around 12 people get violently killed in Yosemite national park over the course of a few days. This may be the 2nd-most dangerous location in America, after Banshee, PA.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.
