clearly the difference is that they were enjoyed more by children then so they are eternally childish, obviously

Garfield hates Mondays because President James Garfield died on Monday, September 19, 1881

the next step is clearly for Hegseth to demand all service members follow his "manly example" and stop washing their hands

the inferiority of Smith's "Ozymandias" compared to Shelley's "Ozymandias" is made clear by how Smith later *chose* to retitle his version "On A Stupendous Leg of Granite, Discovered Standing by Itself in the Deserts of Egypt, with the Inscription Inserted Below"

like, barf to the max

what I hate the most is that it's these fuckos doing it, because under other circumstances the reversion to that name would be honest. "Department of Defense" is "Ministry of Truth"-level bullshit

I shiver to imagine what Alaska would be like during a nuclear winter

this is another aspect of how one of the deep bastard legacies of the Roman Empire is that despite how cruel and evil it was, Europeans have spent the last 1500 years desperately trying to rekindle its "glory"

I think it speaks to how fundamentally colonialist my country is that we speak positively of our country's OWN colonization. We thank the Romans for coming here and "civilizing" our "primitive, barbaric" country, as if the Celts didn't build cities of their own, didn't have culture or industry.

Recently started biking for real, and holy f-ck - the cars. I swear to absolute fucking God. The cars man. I've never in my 30+ year life seen so many stupid fucking idiots in traffic. Blind motherfuckers. They are making my blood boil. Today someone decided it was a great time to make a U-turn in the middle of the street. I kept distance but the car was jerking and was indecisive and just stopped forcing me to go right on the curb making me fall head over the handle bar and crash. Not a care in the world the driver just looked at me and drove off. Never in my life have I seen so many stupid people that can't drive. And I've had a drivers license for over 20 years soon.

A common thread among newer cyclists is realizing just how awful drivers are. There are things you simply don't notice — behavior that has been normalized — when you mostly drive. Biking, walking, or rolling through the world changes that.

i never saw the movie, does it have its own take on this iconic scene

and hell, even Fallout 4 has the mechanical thesis of "you need to work together with other people to accomplish your goals"

we must chase Cat Piss Men back to their rightful place on the fringes of polite society

and here I thought that the whole point behind "the Minions go hide in a cave or whatever after they accidentally killed Napoleon" was to eliminate any possibility of them working for Hitler

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

humanity's mere existence is rebellion of the fascistic, hungry, bloody "grown/natural" world. We must free everyone. We must reject the grown world and embrace the built world.

red in tooth and claw

like, you know who built the rocket that put Alan Shepard into suborbit? fucking *Chrysler*

hell, even the manufacturer of rockets and capsules for Roscosmos is now traded on the Moscow Stock Exchange

can't help but suspect that a disturbing number of people believe that NASA builds its own rockets from scratch

"this private company built a rocket and couldn't deliver it's satellite to the right orbit, lol" I have bad news for you about the builders of the Space Launch System

ridiculous that BOAC was pronounced letter by letter and not "bow-ack"

More and more I am seeing "I would never use it for anything creative but I generative AI seems fine for coding" and I wonder if people realize that coding is also a creative field and the generated code is also coming from scraped and plagiarized human code, please don't give coding a special pass

Visiting Gore Calls Pennsylvania 'A Hellhole' ALTOONA, PA–During a campaign stop at an Altoona paper mill Monday, presidential contender Al Gore launched into an unexpected 40-minute tirade against the "not-so-great state of Pennsylvania," callin...

that's why Gore lost, right

at least back in the USSR the government had the decency to stealthily plant listening devices in your walls. now i gotta purchase my own device?

in another timeline, instead of "Disco Duck" Rick Dees produced "Disco Squirrel" and the world was introduced to "Dees' Nuts" decades ahead of schedule

And it was the explicit aim of the government! They were not shy about advertising it!

🎵 Doomed, Scrooge! You're doomed for all time

For an instant I thought this had something to do with GO Transit and now I realize there's an unmatched cross-promotional potential there

maybe if you let it "generate" your signature
