This looks so fucking siiiick
IT'S UP NOW. We had a lot of fun getting unhappy about how many of the world's problems are caused by the original mass violence workers: ENGINEERS.
If this proves effective, it'll mean fewer owls and other animals dying from eating poisoned rats.
When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.

Much love to my writer friends, but please stop using Substack. I get the appeal, but there's no reason to get that company involved.
protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed.
disgusting.
computer science is when you write “Alice” and “Bob” and “Eve” on a whiteboard and the more times you write it, the more science the computer is

Gonna print this out and stick it to my wall every time a person says that "the market will crash" or "innovation will be stifled" because of the smallest tax increase for the wealthy.
1/4inch tape is making a comeback, hitclips are making a comeback, mediafire .zip files are making a comeback.
This was a fun one Myke. Any chance you'd consider putting out cortex eps more frequently with this series? Would love to get a two eps or more a month if that's not too taxing.
