He only wants NATO involved so he can blame someone else once people start to realize how stupidly Iran was handled.

Big "But daddy I want a Oompa Loompa now!" energy.

Protip: it helps if you read it with a Forrest Gump voice and inflection. Even better if you replace proper names with Jennay, Mama or Bubba.

You might want to have that shrubbery by your nipple checked out by a dermatologist. It looks a bit dodgy.

Yes I know you're the CEO of your one person corporation but I'm your AI HR director and you need to come and see me right away.

Or, thinking through this a bit more, isn't there an island we could ship all of the billionaires, fascists, pedos, halfwits, grifters, sociopaths and realtors to while we stay here and try to repair the few good and useful things that remain?

At first glance, I thought that maybe the art collective Gelitin had pivoted from giant pink bunnies to giant pink guitar pics.

Let me get this straight, does anyone here not have amnesia?

Calculon speaking to Trump's cabinet: Has anyone here NOT already had a lobotomy?

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.

The mystery box of entertainment. The gag is that Emo actually plays a show in every Burlington, Portland and Springfield in the US, but when you buy tickets, you get a ticket to a random state.

*clicks buy*

"Damn it, I got Burlington Texas."

A couple more thoughts on this: this all makes me think of experimental geography and Trevor Paglen. If we could draw a map of creatures based on coordinates or hash or whatever, what would that map look like? Could it be based on location somehow, considering that those creatures move around?

When we talk about coordinates, they point to a spot on the planet. Are you looking for coordinates to help pinpoint something with that creature, or are you looking for a hash that would act as a unique identifying factor for each individual creature?

(I'm enjoying thinking about this, thank you)

Another thought: it's easy-ish in modern times to create coordinates for places on the globe. You have two coordinates, an x and y. There are obviously a LOT of data points needed to pinpoint an individual creature.

I think there are a couple of Ted Chiang short stories venn diagram overlap these thoughts.

I've had some altered experences that have made me think "I wish there was some way I could record this and play it back for others to see." I think that's what you're talking about, a way to fingerprint significant memories and experiences.

You could use a one-way hash to make a (hopefully) unique block of characters to describe a human. But which "coordinates" do you measure to build the info that gets turned into that hash? Do you encode the significant pieces of DNA that make you unique? And is there a way to validate that hash?

I think it’s in part the big griddles that short order restaurants use. Over time they get seasoned and taste like the griddle. In a good way.

I'm convinced there's a griddle taste that builds up over time in the short order breakfast places. Or maybe it's just the taste of food griddled on the perfect temp griddle. Something similar happens with old pizza ovens too.

In fact, 4 out of 5 doctors recommend Denny’s!

Canada: "How’re ya now?"

And that kids is how furries came into the world.

For anyone feeling sorry for incel men and their inability to find a date because they are misogynist sociopaths, please pay closer attention.

Is anyone selling this and if so, how much for a 1024 day supply?

Hershey's: "We're just gonna continue to enshitify the company and product until you are buying pea-sized candies made of brown crayons and spackle for $700 per bag. And you're going to like it."

Trump: “uh. Big beautiful bill. Big guys with tears in their eyes. *he starts dancing* uh, tariffs! You’re all piggies! This court is adjourned!”

WH Ballroom is to Trump as a laser pointer is to a cat. It's Miller distracting Trump so he can continue to run the project 2025 playbook.

I always hear the Benny Hill theme / Yackity Sax in my head when I see pictures / videos of Trump.

The whole regime can be summed up with one word: hubris. Every one of them thinks they're special and will survive the purges because they're smarter. They haven't realized that Trump only hires on two factors: maximum sleaze and minimum intelligence.

This is the delusions of adequacy presidency.

I suspect her main kink is wanting to look like a small child jamming their face against a window.

At least until you realize how much Trump shit would be smeared on each and every object in that room.
