Look up Jaime Loftus’ excellent podcast “My Year in MENSA” for an in-depth look at the organization.

Yeah, TERFs have been around since Rowling was a child.

I miss the old Onion where they had an occasional column written by “Christopher Walken” called “Walken in LA.”

Yeah, all the detail was the bare minimum to show that the car was used as a weapon.

“Dan Quayle: the best reason not to assassinate George Bush” - Ice-T

I can’t even read this shit anymore. I’m almost more furious with the Democrats than the republicans at this point. Every single nominee should have been a knock-down, drag-out fight. We’d be better off with an empty cabinet than the array of lickspittles and lunatics in there now.

It’s really bad when Tulsi Gabbard is one of the only trustworthy people in the administration.

I don’t want to be “pretty,” I want to be devastatingly handsome. I want to be actaeonizingly beautiful to all genders.

I learned yesterday that the USFL was initially supposed to be a summer league, to give football players who weren’t NFL-ready out of college a chance to upskill. Donald Trump insisted it have games in the fall, directly competing with the NFL instead. The league failed the same year it moved.

Donald Trump is the anti-Midas: everything he touches turns into garbage.

Also, even this suggestion betrays a lack of understanding about how signal works. A big part of the long term security signal offers is that they don’t store data, so LLM integration would be on-device.

They were probably thinking “the fence will go up next week” and then “oh dang, we don’t have the money for the fence now.”

You can tell it’s parody because it describes an actual valuable feature.

Over 1000x the attendance at the military parade.

This headline is garbage. You could put just about any Fortune 500 company’s name in there and the headline would still be accurate.

I think the logic is “babies are innocent, these people have a choice and they made the wrong one.”

And then you get to a point where you look at that and think “clever but I’m sure it’s fucked up in some way that isn’t immediately obvious.”

Who used those triangular pastel buttons? I remember seeing them on some friends’ computers but not on any Dells or Gateway 2000 machines. Maybe Compaq? Or Packard Bell?

I saw Slackware running on a similar config, although it was probably a 486/50 or 486/66.

I remember my dad’s friend upgrading our PC clone to 640K. He used a soldering iron.

My ex and I worked on a birth plan for our second child after her experience with our first was deeply unsatisfying. We discussed home birth but I insisted on a birthing center attached to a hospital in case something went sideways. She found an OB who listened to her, and we made clear what our birthing plan was, and that was respected by the medical staff. As it happened, the labor was smooth and relatively quick, and home birth would have been fine. I’m still glad we were at a facility where there would have been no lag between a problem arising and a doctor being able to address it.

Nah, Thanos was moderately competent.
