Beginning to believe that any time nbc shows a little profile piece on an athlete during prime time Olympics coverage, that means the athlete will soon fail

Idly wondering: Apple has its corporate address at '1 Infinite Loop.' Does any company have an address at '1 Inverse Square' or similar?

Genre of Olympic commentary I especially enjoy: "Oh he's not going to get there, there won't be enough to overtake" <competitor proceeds to overtake leader>

I rely on tv drug ads to give important medical information and insights, such as "Don't take Gruvekxyla if you are allergic to it"

Props to the Olympics announced who are specialists in a sport and are able to a) immediately identify the finer points of a trick that takes half a second b) be able to articulate what they saw without choking 'oh look at her ankle on that 1600 double fakey slamboska, it looks a little off'

Shout out to the college recruiter who sent an apparently blank email. Took us a while to determine it was written in white text on a white background

I hope the glasses will also help find lost dogs

Just a reminder to everyone, don't hold back on your twizzles section

Has someone made a 'Pop-up video' style cut of the halftime show to point out all the references and easter eggs

So fun. And I want an award for the camera operators too, top tier

Reading something in which Russian Gazprom is occasionally referred to as a 'massive gas giant' and my brain keeps going 'wait why are they talking about Jupiter'

The sad part is it wrecks the 'they should field a Normal Human in each event just for comparison' idea. There would be a 93% mortality rate for the normal human competitors

Points for astronaut involvement

Excuse me random web site I have become used to clicking 'no' on your offers of notifications... But in what world do you think I'd say yes to 'look for and connect to any device on your local network?'

Notably people who care about sports and books do not have strong opinions about those things and do not seek out places to learn about and discuss them

If we Get The Gang Together Again (possibly through the use of an extended montage) can we put on a show and keep them from shutting the Kennedy Center

Just noticed BBC style is apparently 'border tsar' rather than 'border czar' and I am struggling

<in the MN logistics chat> Ok, so they are sending Homan. We need agents to send us thousands of Cava bags to bait traps

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Again, your Uncle Steve is not essential response personnel (well, unless he is) and we do not need his first hand perspective on road conditions

Blue sky elders: is there a magical feed setting that will allow me to see reposts from people I follow, but only for the first N times it's reposted? I want to see reposts because it's a way to find new folks to follow. But when 10 people I follow all decide to repost the same thing....

In advance of The Winter Weather, your occasional reminder that no, you do not in fact have a responsibility to go drive around 'to see how bad it is out there' This even applies to people owning big honkin' trucks and SUVs

Time to share other Important Penguin Facts, such as: --Penguins can poop every 8 minutes --Penguins are capable of projecting their poop up to 4 feet away

They tell you to 'look for the helpers' but sometimes the helpers need to be helping to burn it all down

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out the nation is not going to the right place

"Wait, Grandpa, but WHY was everyone at war? "Well it all started when one guy didn't get a trophy for being the most peaceful guy ever. And things escalated."

A reading from the Book of Larson, according to Thag: Lo, and the herd shall be great in number, and among them will rise a cow, and the cow will use tools And the human shall push when the sign sayth pull, in the town of Midvale

Look, if the president is going to be issuing orders regarding sports programming, can we look at the decision to have the super bowl on the third day of the Olympics

No, we have a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing at home

It's always fun when your refrigerator decides it would really like to be a Box With Lights instead

Dear publicist, thank you for the offer of an interview with the stylist-turned-founder behind some game-changing hair extensions, regarding 2026 hair trends. It does not meet the editorial needs of Science Friday at this time.

Thank you for calling the Doomscroll Hotline. Please listen carefully as our crises have changed. If your call relates to fascist operations, press one. For economic meddling, press 2. For the possibility of conflict with NATO, 3. For acts of war without declaration of war, press 4. For climate...

Today in misdirected emails: a solicitation for a memorial brick fundraiser project for a walk in front of a fraternity house in Oswego. Currently debating whether to donate $100 to engrave a brick with 'remember to validate your email distribution list'

When reached for comment from the bottom of the toychest, the Magic 8 Ball said "Situation hazy."

The thing I find striking about the grok image thing (among many disturbing things) is that presumably the people requesting these images wouldn't walk into a bookstore and say "hey, where are your pictures of children covered in oil?" And the bookstore people would call the cops if they did

I for one think it would be a good idea for Venezuela to deliver 30-50 million actual barrels of heavy sour crude oil to mar a lago

And lo, the wisemen were amazed at the asshattery they beheld, and returned, saying "Seriously, bro, wtf" about all they had heard and seen
