Dear Leader’s inspirational Easter message sure was inspirational. I can see why we are respected around the world.

Traditional Easter Sunday of driving to the Detroit airport to pick up my wife and kid, driving home and then napping.

I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world. It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world.

I definitely thought this was a joke post about Duncan Idaho for a second before I was like oh wait

I take this to mean “I only watch II and VI”

Anyone else seeing a lot of Canadian immigration ads of Facebook?

When you look at the last year it's hard to say what would have been different if a really competent, energetic and aggressive team had sat down on day one and said, what do we need to do to get inflation higher? Like full Apollo 13 energy.

Jamband Demon Hunters. They gotta stop every 20 minutes to tune. The Demons stay away because they don't like the smell of patchouli and weed. Not a lot of actual hunting gets done in between long solos.

"Slice of life comics" are comics in which Ogami Itto, sometimes known as Lone Wolf, slices someone - thus taking their life.

Europeans when asked to help unblock the strait of Hormuz:

It is easy now to forget that George W. Bush had a white-knuckled stranglehold on the title of worst United States president in history. It was like Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game at the time. No one ever thought it would be possible to even come close, let alone beat it.

Neal Stephenson's Gun: If in the first act you have hung a gun on the wall, then in the following one you should give full technical specifications.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Yes, I'm relious. I believe in the holy trinity.

I dislike living in this kind of interesting times. I would rather live in the part where the arc of the moral universe is bending toward justice. I hope we can get on with that again soon.

HAL JORDAN: In brightest day, in blackest BEASTIE BOYS: NIGHT! HAL JORDAN: No evil shall escape my BEASTIE BOYS: SIGHT! HAL JORDAN: This is awkward because when I invited you I thought I was messaging Beast Boy from the Teen Titans.

The consequences of this war for Americans will be bleak and take decades to unfold, but it will impoverish and provincialize them in ways that would have been unimaginable ten years ago

I have finally achieved my greatest scientific dream: google scholar has revised my citation number for 2024 and now it sits at a perfect 666.

Doing your taxes? Weren't we going to be doing our taxes on a postcard, by now? JD Powers said IRS service quality went way up after the 2022 Pelosi bills, then plummeted when Noem sent 1000s of IRS service staff to be border guards. Above all, so auditors couldn't chase cheaters in the Caymans.

I'm worried when Kristi Noem finds out she's been fired she's going to become America's first obedience school shooter.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

The last thing my dad said to me was that he wished he had spent more of his life being angry online about space movies for children.

Trump relying on the old rule that you can’t prosecute a wartime pedophile.

The day before starting a war with Iran, the Secretary of Defense was focused on removing trans scouters from the Boy Scouts.

So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.

the elisons are going to destroy all my favorite pieces of media and cartoons and i know it seems ridiculous with everything that's happening in the world, but the prospect that these ghouls will be taking away peoples escape from the hellscape that is the current real world is making me despondent.

Ellison will make them reshoot it so Superman kills the squirrel.

John, Paul, George and Ringo.

“Great Man” theories of history may have been wrong but “That F*ing Guy” theory looks increasingly plausible.

The Supreme Court:

Alysa Liu winning gold in figure skating is a win for alt girls everywhere

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Folks, look, it’s easy to make fun of Kid Rock but it’s important to remember that it’s also hilarious.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work: Are ‘Em Dash Are Eff Slash

To everyone just now finding out Isaac Asimov was rather famously a sex pest: He's been gone 34 years now, you can handle this truth, I believe in you

D... D... Dr. Dr I- Dr I am- Dr I am sad... Dr I am sad. Aid me? Dr I am sad. Aid me? "See clown!" Dr I am sad. Aid me? "See clown!" That clown...is me! - The Pagliacci Sequence

I have had to read *so much* mystic bollocks for my podcast because every sixties rock star seemed to find his own individual "guru" whose "teachings" informed his work.

The thing about all these men is they could date anybody. They're rich, they're famous. They could bag socialites or models or actresses or whoever. Instead they single out the most vulnerable women and girls they can find. They cannot form relationships with women who are their peers.

At least nobody will ask “what’s the worst that can happen?” for another 20 or 30 years

Gawker was killed to protect pedophiles

"Eat the rich" sounds great until you realize they're all riddled with STDs.

This is a real old-timer gripe, but when Mitt took Trump's birther endorsement but wouldn't even stand in a picture with Jon Huntsman, I thought, "They know that racism is all they got."
