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.

Picture of the century. 😍

Man's Life Magazine: Weasels Ripped My Flesh, featuring a shirtless man in water throttling a weasel.

Man's Life Magazine featuring a MF couple, both with their shirts ripped open, in a jungle river being beset by giant serpents. The man is faring significantly worse than the lady but he's copping one last feel before the venom gets him.

True Men Stories: Lizards From Hell. Another de-shirted MF couple in a river, this time being attacked by little green lizards.

True Men Stories: Flying Rodents Ripped My Flesh. It's TWO shirtless men in a river! They're being scratched and bitten by vicious flying squirrels. The background is all orange. Perhaps this is hell.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Bombing To Win, which I am sure most American foreign policy experts have read

Gotta make these for real

For years I've been looking for the right guest to do a pod on this. The car-sales model that is dictated by law in the US -- you must go to a dealership & suffer for hours in order to buy one -- is one of the most nakedly anti-social special interest giveaways in history. Needs to be killed dead.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

FEMA Official Says He Teleported to Waffle House. Experts Are Dubious.

I choose to believe they consulted not teleportation experts but Waffle House experts for this story that I will not read to find out

We have a very simple solution to universal programs benefiting the wealthy. You claw back the money through taxes on the back end. Everyone has known this for 100 years, but people get to pretend they don’t when it’s convenient for their ideology.
