Heinlein drops that to a 75% chance, which is admittedly still pretty high.

The average Joe Rogan fan

"Yes, we took their land, burned their villages, slaughtered their children, assaulted the women, nearly eliminated the entire population through murder, disease, and starvation and herded the rest onto desolate reservations, but they had it coming since they were bloodthirsty."

Every time cate blanchette’s on screen, you gotta say loudly in the movie theater: “dats one classy broad”

The rule of law only works when those involved with enforcing said laws also agree to abide by them. If not, then all bets are off.

He is risen

I love this for her. Unlike the GOP, we don't band together to defend the worst in the party from paying the consequences for their actions.

It's adorable that he believes that anyone would find him relevant enough to take a shot at.

It's so strange that Quaker Instant Oats is comfort food for me, since I associate the flavors with the despised Boy Scout camping trips of my youth. Probably has to do with it being one of their few pleasurable aspects.

"Wyatt Earp is my friend." "Well hell, I got lots of friends."

The only limit in sexuality is informed consent (including appropriate age limitations). Everything else is on the table. This also goes for relationships of any sort. I'm vanilla, straight, and monogamous. The entire world does not have to share that with me.

Pizzagate makes more sense now that it was clearly an attempt to make talking about child sex trafficking by powerful elites into a punchline. I mean, it felt like they was a bit obvious at the time, but it is super clear now.

Okay, but like genuinely

My lamentation. And also one of the reasons I use the initial.

After several months, I find myself approving of the renaming of the Department of Defense back to the Department of War not because it presents a more assertive and manly image, but rather because it's significantly more honest about what we've been using the department for.

One thing that does not get discussed nearly often enough about the process of growing older is how you feel obligated to keep up with fewer and fewer trends as time passes, and what a liberating experience that can be.

The Circus Liquor Clown is an LA legend. I want to run him for mayor.

"Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people." is the Plan 9 From Outer Space of leftist political slogans, so awful yet so earnest that I can't help feeling some affection for it. I suppose that makes the SLA the Ed Wood of 70s revolutionary groups, which also tracks.

Classic #ADHD day: - Sit down to write next book chapter. - Get distracted by something entirely unconnected: - Namely, researching an ancestor in the 1500s. - Stumble across a mystery of potentially international importance. - Realise there may be a book in it. Result: 2 unfinished books.

To my fellow Californians who haven't yet cast a ballot: Yes on 50. Send an unmistakable message that we will not sit idly by while the fascists bend and break every rule in their pursuit of absolute power.

I'm mourning Dick Cheney even less than I did Charlie Kirk.

Moevember 2025 Day 3: Edgar Allen Moe #Simpsons #TheSimpsons #moevember

I don't often find blasphemy to be personally offensive, but I'll make an exception in this case.

So good.

Just realized that I got through the entirety of October without hearing "Monster Mash" even once, and that makes it the best Halloween in years.

Edward's got to be sitting at home thinking "Okay, the gay rumors don't seem so bad in retrospect."

It just struck me that as there are an enormous number of illegal arrests going on nowadays, it's in the best interest of nearly everyone being arrested to demand a trial by jury. It's also vital that people sympathetic to their cause report for jury duty when called to do so.

I'm a Padres fan living here in Los Angeles, and I have to grudgingly admit that the one thing that I respect about Dodgers fans is how they absolutely do not give a shit what the rest of the country (and Canada) thinks about them.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

Me watching any "Living with ADHD" video. #ADHD

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

//This was originally a fun "making it up as I type" exercise in creating a Euthanatos/Chakravanti chantry setting, but now I'm thinking that I should flesh it out a bit with a history and cast of characters. (I'm Hamblerger) #ttrpg #worldofdarkness #mta www.reddit.com/r/WhiteWolfR...

I haven't always agreed with the LA Board of Supervisors actions, but they get an A+ from me here (with the one holdout costing them a gold star in addition). abcnews.go.com/US/los-angel...

Holy Grail is the funniest Monty Python movie Life of Brian is the best Monty Python movie Meaning of Life is the most Monty Python Monty Python movie Fight me (but gently, I'm tired).

Sacco and Vanzetti

This caught me off-guard, and I've just now managed to compose myself.

Obviously no tears shed here, but this headline makes his offense sound like the name of his band.

For me, it's a feeling that everything mold is new again.

This just makes them seem like they're mad that they're falling behind.

California! Do I have to say Vote Yes on Prop 50? If we don’t, it won’t matter how we vote in the midterms. We are being gerrymandered out completely. It’s time to fight fire with fire and stand up to the current regime…

I usually roll my eyes at "But her emails" as being from two elections ago, but I will allow it as ironically appropriate in this specific case.

If you don't want people drawing historical parallels, then I'm afraid that I'm going to have to ask you to stop repeating history.

ADHDers, our comrades in neurodivergence need our wildly inconsistent help!
