I'm not saying that I'm good at holding a grudge, but I'm still mad at Gene Simmons for that Terry Gross interview. I'm also still upset that record execs turned the Heart that gave us the GOAT "Barracuda" into the band that did (the decidedly less stellar) "All I Want to Do Is Make Love to You."

Well, time to see what all the fuss is about.

With shrinkflation so rampant, it's nice to look at a Costco pizza & imagine a conversation at the Food Lab. [Guy in White Lab Coat]: "Ma'am, I think we've reached the topping limits of what the structure can bear." [Woman in a Gorilla Costume Swinging from a Rope Above]: "I SAID MORE PEPPERONI!"

This might be an extreme position to take but I think once you are in your 40s you should have to take accountability for the stupid shit you do

Fun little journey here worth traveling. It's also a great example showing how science writing can be accessible and compelling.

The Dolphins racked up a 17 point lead in the first ten minutes of the game and then just left like they were worried about missing their flight.

America's doing what? The America? From Fievel? Well that doesn't sound right.

Maybe the rapture already happened. Maybe it was in 1910 and the only person that made the cut was a British nanny.

I just had autocomplete/autocorrect change "disco" to Discord. Everyone throw your phones into the closest fire or body of water as quickly as you can!

To all the Rapture Randys and Rapture Rhondas that laughed at me on Monday when I said, "See you Wednesday,"... I. Will. See. You. Wednesday.

Corporate America: Give us everything we want or we'll lay a bunch of people off. America: Oh my God, that'd be terrible! Yes? Here is everything you want. We'll end regulation, cut your taxes, and give you corporate welfare from our taxes. Corporate America: Cool. We're announcing layoffs anyway.

One last hurrah with Battlefield 2042? Shenanigans are in order!

A message to everyone who believes the Rapture is Tuesday: See you Wednesday.

still unsure why we have a light soy sauce and a dark soy sauce

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. . Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Yoda: yeah hi sorry but I didn’t even like this guy before he was evil and the last time I saw him he was killing children Luke: thank you for your wisdom Master Yoda Yoda: no I’m saying it’s bullshit I have to sit on a log with this guy Obi: yeah I wasn’t going to say anything but he murdered me

Does anyone else remember the time that David Bowie murdered and then ate Mark Goodman on camera and in front of the world? I do... because I'm old, mostly. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

If we ever have a dem president again, I hope the first thing they do is treat MAGA they way MAGA treats everyone not white, straight and cis, so they know how it feels to be marginalized. You know: forbid them to marry who they love, forbid then to use bathrooms because they're rapists, etc

Sometimes when I'm making a fish sandwich I just slather mayo on the bun and the mash on some dill relish because I'm too lazy to make a proper tartar sauce. I felt like this was a good place to share that about myself and my sandwich habits.
