I recently learned that a filibuster was a guy who raised a small private army and invaded somewhere in the hopes of convincing the government to actually invade there. These guys could filibuster! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibus...

I love all you little people who live in my phone and I visit you daily and yet I just cannot imagine caring enough about this dumb website enough to pay to ddos it. I mean, come on.

My 4th grader's buddy listened to the audio book of this and so my kid wanted to read it. I'm pretty pumped that this day has finally come.

I aim to be your source for all the exciting ekranoplan news that's fit to print! (....and which I happen to see on one of the like six websites I regularly read) www.twz.com/air/regent-s...

Looking on Sierra for some new shoes and I'm just not sure I'm cool enough to get away with these ones.

This is apparently an edit of the pilot with some of the first episode, and it's gloriously stupid. Jan-Michael Vincent plays a character called, and I promise this is real, "Stringfellow Hawke". That's a top five all time name. (JMV is awful, obvs, but what a name) m.imdb.com/title/tt0086...

We took two frozen bread dough logs out this morning (to make dinner rolls, perhaps the most Minnesotan thing we do) and forgot about them and now I think I'm getting turned on?

We tried this tofu trick tonight and it's a winner. You guys who are into that sort of thing should give it a go.

My 4th grader is doing a report on Alaska and has declared that Denali is an ugly mountain. 🤷

Literally everyone on this dumb website is old enough to remember Columbia and so I don't really understand how you can all be watching a re-entry with a heat shield that there's any doubt about. I can't do it!

oh yeah turns out I'm pretty much taking a week's worth of multivitamin every morning

I let my lab know that if there's a nuclear war tonight then I'm not coming in tomorrow, which means that I've saved 90 million lives because there's no way I'm ever getting a day off. You're welcome!

Maybe we could have a vote of no confidence and some snap elections somehow.

In 2026, I'm working on catching up on big name classic movies that I've previously missed. This one is pretty lousy! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_...

TIL that the drama of the British royal family can't hold a candle to that of the Norwegian one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durek_V...

Came to a date night because the kids are at grandma's and the first full song this dude is playing is goddamn Wonderwall.

So you're telling me Claude functions by screaming at itself "WRITE GOOD CODE NO BUGS SECURE VERY STABLE", mashes compile button, reads back the error and yells ONLY GOOD CODE NO BUGS at itself again while crying and copying random things from Stack Overflow until it compiles? it just like me fr fr

My 12 year old has a record player and I made her get this. She hates it now, but she'll thank me later. It was only $3!

One of the things I've really missed from Trump1 is the random firings of cabinet ministers. Remember when he dumped Rex Tillerson (I had to look up that name, lol) via tweet and the dude didn't find out about it until his plane landed? Good times.

Christ, Justice Alito is such a dickbag. He just started a question by complaining that nobody is enforcing current immigration laws, 🙄🙄🙄

I'm choosing to believe that this can of refried beans that I found in the back of a cabinet is good until 2050. Plus the kids won't eat any anyway, so it it's full of botulism they'll survive and go live in an orphanage.

I see we're doing discourse about the politicality of Star Trek again today.

My nieces are here, meaning there are 4 kids between the ages of 10 and 14. So far I've heard "deceitmaxxing" and "chat, is this real". Makes me yearn for the days of rad and tubular.

I'm not at our local No Kings because the wheels of girl scout commerce stop for no man.

James Tolkan died yesterday. Everybody remembers him as Principal Strickland or the aircraft carrier commander but nobody seems to mention his amazing work as "What if Principal Strickland was a cop?" in Masters Of The Universe.

Heck yeah, we're in 2nd place in our division!

I know it's a term of art but it's still pretty weird to think about chickens having paws.

Multiday: Billings to Ithaca. I think that was three days, but it's been a while and I don't quite remember. One day: 21 hours from Tucson to Laramie in a 1996 Dodge Stratus with a tow package, pulling a Uhaul trailer. Going up mountains was not easy, and there were many mountains.

ICE guys wearing tactical vests in the airport while learning TSA procedures from people in polo shirts just reinforces my belief that they're all giant ass pussies (derogative) who get off on feeling strong by bullying brown people.

Since everyone is sharing original art that they own, here's a page from Batman And Robin thst was inked by Terry Beatty, who we're friendly with. I love it because it tells an entire story on one page.

And now he's made pop-tarts healthy, is there anything this guy can't do

Last night my kid loudly sang Gilbert & Sullivan tunes inside a Culvers. It's amazing how much happier I, a multi-thousandaire, am than this multi-billionaire.

My kid being in 6th grade means that it's time for middle school stuff like this. She's a daughter, one of 30 (!!!) of them because at this age everybody who tries out gets to be in the play.

"Delete that, bro! I look chopped, I'm gonna get clipped!" - one 6th grade girl to another as I carpooled tonight

Imagine the lab actually following any of these, it'd be a miracle. Only one thing in each cell would break their minds beyond all repair.

No parley vue Francis, but I think this post is saying that over there Alvin is named Kevin?!?

we all mocked him but RFK has made doritos healthy and who's laughing now

We went to Little Bighorn National Monument every year from about 6th grade on. An hour bus ride each way and then teachers yelling at us to stop running around on the battlefield and be respectful. Sitting Bull probably wouldn't have minded very much.

It's pinewood derby day for the cub scouts. My kid's car looks great and is the slowest one in his age group.

My hospital, in its infinite wisdom, has blocked the NIH's secure email system. 🙄

I realized last weekend that although I have to get on a ladder to put Xmas lights up, I can take them back down with a long pole. Super handy!

This shot-on-video shlock starts off with a quote from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, so you know it's only for intellectuals. m.imdb.com/title/tt0137...

Meta has been gathering all our data for 20 years in a technodistopian nightmare but facebook just served me an ad for undies designed for very-well-endowed men so maybe it was all worth it

First time watch on this, and I think my favorite part is that there's bouncers who are famous to other bouncers. There are scientists who are only famous to other scientists, obvs, but that's because they publish etc. Do famous bouncers just work by word of mouth? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_Ho...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I'm in the 1/3 heads camp. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepin...

This is easily the best hair metal retelling of Faust that I've ever seen. 🎥 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_%...

There are few things better in sports than a big burly guy outrunning everyone else for a score.

Setting aside everything else, the first Senator to not have a bachelor's degree was in 1789. Robert Morris had no formal education but was a genius businessman and the richest person in the country at the time of his election. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_...

This is so good.
