Just reminded of the "Scully Effect" - that girls who watched the X-files were more likely to pursue careers in science- but this ignores the bigger "Mulder Effect" which inspired a whole generation of young men to become socially awkward porn addicted conspiracy theorists.

Ingram used to be so good at getting our books to us on time. I blame the robots they hired

have you heard of this thing called "sleep"? You close your eyes and your brain sort of turns off and then you wake up feeling better. I hear it's all the rage with young people. If anyone knows where I can get some, let me know

It's giving

ALTMAN: And so you can use Sora to generate interesting videos of you and your friends, all with AI. FALLON: (giggling) So, heh, so that's a video of me in space, wow! ALTMAN: Exactly. FALLON: Could you generate a video of me where I'm not just a useful clown for fascism? Where my work has meaning?

MAGA calls for the death of people who don't agree with their politics. They even wish slow painful deaths for the FAMILIES of people who don't bow to Trump. Liberals demand hearings and trials for people who violate the Constitution. The two sides are not the same.

Of course the real new bond film should be a young, cool James Bond. Plus a grim, hardcore James Bond. Plus a black James Bond in a metal suit. And a Cyborg James Bond.

"CHICKEN FINGERS is bonded with another cat, CAPTAIN STINKY PANTS. CAPTAIN STINKY PANTS is a charming 20-lb Maine Coon mix who hates children, has moderate bowel incontinence, and only eats sushi-grade tuna. CAPTAIN STINKY PANTS and CHICKEN FINGERS must be adopted together."

OMG🤣

Ward Cleaver smoking his pipe and reading his paper, doing his damndest to suppress the flashbacks of bulldozing a mound of rotting corpses into a sandpit with the Seabees on Saipan.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song. But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

tell us more Grandpa President

Even in his most fevered, drunken dreams, Richard Milhous Nixon couldn't possibly have even imagined doing a tenth of this shit.

Trump's UN speech was an embarrassing shitshow that brought disgrace upon the United States. Congrats, America.

Trump is uniting the world… …in the same way that a loud, obnoxious drunk guy on a train car unites all the other passengers. Just endless silent exchanges of looks and head-shaking whispers of “What an asshole.”

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Once again, a quick post here led to an hour of writing it up as a full piece at CAMPAIGN TRAILS. Here it is:

Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier spent the night on the House floor after refusing to agree ‘to round-the-clock monitoring by state troopers’ www.keranews.org/texas-news/2...

cuomo's campaign strategy, from what i can tell

As usual, Bill Burr doesn’t miss 🎯

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

"Leia and Chewie stay in Cloud City, while Han is given to the bounty hunter. It's not a great deal, but maybe the Ugnaughts can fix it when it goes back to them." #Murkowski

meanwhile at work today

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? Digital resources, particularly eBooks and audiobooks, are going to bankrupt libraries if something isn't done to halt the extortionary pricing models of publishers.

Happy Hamilton Day!

He was also a committed slaveowner who brutalized the human beings he owned. He didn’t fight for honor.

I realize I didn't have a lot of control over how I landed when I crashed my bike yesterday, but ribs seems like a poor choice.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND STORY: French caretakers take the sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy and scrub it into the letters to give them the brown/gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.
