Pruneface from Dick Tracy saying ANESTHETIC. YOUR EYE! YOU SET THE LEG! I'LL TAKE IT WITH MY EYES OPEN.
I KNEW I’d seen him before somewhere. RFK Jr. even says the same kinds of things about medicine as Pruneface (a Dick Tracy villain who was a spy and a saboteur).
Are you kidding me? Opportunity to break out strange stories about the origins of words makes me happier than anything else on this site except maybe bird and cute pet photos.
“was nominated for a Grammy for being a rockstar in 1977”
One might say that was the year he came alive.
Love #BirdsAndBees. Not sure it’s ever been used so literally.
Florida GOP having serious second thoughts too. Losing Mar-A-Lago district (GOP +19!!) was not thought possible. Yet, here we are.
The famous Gerry-mander
The shape of the district was somewhat serpent shaped and led to this famous cartoon.
Funny you should say that.
The term, originally written as “Gerry-mander,” first was used on March 26, 1812, in the Boston Gazette — a reaction to the redrawing of Massachusetts state senate election districts under Gov. Elbridge Gerry.
Note that VOTERS directly approved Dem gerrymanders, unlike the GOP ones.
Push polling at its finest. Note they don’t even bother to ask the “question” unless you said you are a Democrat or lean Democrat.
Really wondering how many people are like “never heard him of but why yes, we totally deserved 9/11”.
Why did they take it to the board? Because they didn’t think the board would be batshit crazy and say no to any changes.
“I don’t know why. But that’s definitely what he said. Just paint it.”
No need to be patient. Just need another Chicxulub. Plenty of biomass and no one waiting around.

Awesome history of the battles to make all Sherlock films and shows, gay or not.
No settlement. Put them out of business and link up with the new InfoWars.
Object permanence is a bit vague for labs. Doesn’t stop them from being one the world’s most lovable.
And a rebar gun.
And a rifle.
And grenades.
The gotcha that leads to all the dancing is that if you can see an attack coming and have your blade correctly positioned, you should be able to knock it aside and counterattack (parry/riposte in fencing terms).
So you’re always waiting for the perfect moment to attack.
There’s much more technical analysis. But that’s the gist of it.
Other guy has a quiet style. He’s concentrating on parrying (blocking) and staying out of range until he sees an opportunity for a quick strike.
Both are simply trying to touch the other guy first. Depending on variant (saber/epée/foil), there’s limits on where you can touch.
The difference between the two is style. Wavy guy is trying to lull the other guy by setting up a rhythm then breaking it to attack.
Also (main branch) Too bad you weren’t playing on April Fools Day, although it might work if you set your clock.
1.2 is in experimental. Respawn points, super improved truck routing and NEW GAME MODES, including resource randomization.
No more beeline to Crater Lake for oil.
You can kiss another few hundred hours goodbye.
No it’s a tribal signifier for the “they’re controlling us through algorithms” conspiracy nuts.
Gee, wonder if people screaming “fake news” might have had something to do with that.
Now if they could just get a grip on that ICCU problem.
Sec. Hegseth: "It's Just Gay" To Require Our Warriors To Wash Hands After Using The Bathroom
The only thing that fits that description is a MagLev (magnetic levitation) train. Which I would be ecstatic if we were building.
Japan has one that goes over 300mph.
Although the Zip had its own problem that wouldn’t become clear until you trusted them for months. They had a nasty tendency to drift out of alignment and not be able to read something they’d written awhile ago.
And then, of course, there was the “click of death”.
