TIL I share a birthday with one of my all-time favorite actors.
9/11 TRUTHER WHO FREQUENTED MY FAVORITE COFFEE SHOP AND WAS A VERY NICE MAN BUT FOUND A WAY TO BRING UP "BUILDING 7" IN EVERY CONVERSATION
A Carrom game board sitting in front of the box it came in
I knew the word and thought it unremarkable but then remembered that I probably learned it because of the brief vogue for this game during my childhood, with its confoundingly coincidental name
Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only
Just noting that "I feel like I have closer views with liberals than more conservatives at this point" seems to be an example of an Escher sentence #linguistics
I kind of pity any Paramount executives who've convinced themselves that the Venn diagram of "Paramount+ subscribers" and "Star Trek fans" isn't a circle
He's...bragging about taking the dementia test AGAIN?
Did I say 20 years? Harve Bennett first touted a SFA movie around 1989 or so. Yes, I'm Gen X and the 80s were twenty years ago.
The fact that I was skeptical of the idea of an Academy-focused show for like 20 years, and then it completely won me over within 3 episodes. Holly Hunter. Tig Notaro. The chemistry among all the cadets. Yum.
Nice observation, I can't think of any. And now I'm wondering if it's because we don't expect dudes to want to feel things? Like, we see male characters engage in all those same behaviors and WE know it's cuz they need to feel something, but they don't, so they don't say it?
Just like Coke and Pepsi!
Can I guess the species of the individual to whom you were speaking?
"Incredibly valuable energy source on which our whole economy depends must be shipped through a single narrow passage directly under the weapons of our enemy", if it were a sci-fi plot, would be a credulity-killing cliche
I have just this moment learned that Ish Kabibble was not, in fact, a Yiddish phrase dropped on random occasions by people on television during my childhood, but the name of a person. I have also just a acquired a new viewing mission.
How else can we be expected to win the arms race with the murder hornets?

Yes! But also that's the weirdest expletive infixation I've seen. Incofuckingmprehensible.
Tuning into the POTUS press conf on the tariff decision, in an act of either schadenfreude or masochism, not clear which yet
La La Land. A movie about humans in a city should have more than two characters, especially if the two characters it does have are both insufferable
Imagine Tig Notaro doing intake at the counter of a guitar repair shop. That's what my brain did last night, in a dream. I'm sorry I can't share it with you, it was hilarious.
So we got NASCAR, the NFL, Budweiser, the Chamber of Commerce, and apparently the 2nd amendment? And they got ... the Kennedy Center? What is even happening?
"Stop that rockin' up there!" I hear it in my head every time I see her face
Between AI server farms and these, I foresee a huge opportunity for somebody who comes up with a business model requiring a ton of vacant warehouses in about five years
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.

Coming soon: These evil big government democrats won't let us abolish ICE!
