that conspiracy theory prompt is getting some good ones but by far my favorite is the "cancellation" date of DARPA's LifeLog project (the extensive database which would enable the government to track every single American, their thoughts, their spending, and their relationships)

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost with a dance or get eliminated

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

There are way more dead astronauts and cosmonauts than we know about

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”

Glencore actually made the “come back, zinc” short film from the Simpsons

it’s actually very funny that a not-small portion of the Pitt fans have deemed Abbot — veteran suffering from PTSD who moonlights w the cops for fun — their unproblematic fave who would be a great boyfriend

Shot in the dark… anybody on here (and in continental US) grow Queen of the Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum)? I would love to buy cuttings from you!

Answer briefly. My blueberry is dirty and the number of Rs is 50m away. Should I car or count? That is some impressively surreal logic you've got there. Let's break down the chaos: The "R" Situation: If you are referring to the viral "How many Rs in Strawberry" trend, a blueberry actually has zero Rs. Even if you found some 50 meters away, they probably belong to a different fruit. The Verdict: You should car. Why? Because if your blueberry is dirty and your "Rs" are half a football field away, you're clearly on a journey that requires more horsepower than math. Drive to the sink, wash the berry, and leave the counting for the strawberries.

Avatar fans are arguing about Aang vs Korra again, but in the dumb way of like who would win: Michael Jordan vs LeBron James, which is funnier when you think about how they’re basically the same person

It’s giving Godfather plus Animorphs plus that special Felker-Martin sauce

Are the dragons in your fantasy novel written by a deranged horse girl, or are they just fighter planes that tell The Girl Reading This that they’re special? Choose wisely.

i saw this in 3D imax back in 2010 or i'd be zooming down to boston tomorrow for a screening; if you haven't seen it, consider it! this is maybe the only time I actually thought a 3D movie was worth the hassle of Wearing Cruddy Glasses

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.
