Absolutely an outlier in the national anthem game.

Somehow, specifying “we left with all my children” makes it sound even weirder. Sure, I went to pedophile island with the kids, but I double-counted to make sure I had all them when we left.

one of music’s quiet tricks is that you don’t have to speak the language to feel the weight of it.
free jazz figured that out a long time ago.

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

Super disappointing to see Nathan Myhrvold in the Epstein files. Seriously, fuck all the way off.

This is one of many reasons why I cancel every rideshare Tesla.

Matthew 5:9(b): “Blessed are the Tom Cruises, for their jawlines are perfect for recruiting posters.”

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:

If you poors would just work harder and longer and stop complaining…

It’s not an upgrade campaign, it’s a hostage negotiation.

Can’t wait for the strongly worded letter that Schumer is going to write about this.

You should write a strongly worded letter!

This is an educational post. We use Icelandic parking standards to demonstrate the wide ball rules in different formats.

There was a time when this sort of delusional idiocy would have made this guy a laughing stock and he would have resigned in shame. Now he is interviewed on national news.

Sure, but what if I give you a bag of cash with $50k in it? Do I still need to put myself in the mind of the murderer?

All that the Turing Test proves is that human are much, much stupider than Alan Turing ever suspected.

Effort is not the same thing as results, thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

But if the cause be not good, the King himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs, and arms, and heads, chopp’d off in a battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all, “We died at such a place”

Do not miss Greatest Basslines, airing on Sky Arts (Freeview channel 36) tonight at 9pm. •A pleasure to be part of Greatest Basslines, a tribute to the creativity and craft of our greatest bass players.

Yes, the real problem with air travel is that men don’t wear jackets and ties anymore.

Today is the brief Icelandic language lesson for cricket that you neither needed nor wanted.

Would never? Already have. Kent State 1970. Bonus Army in 1932. And the people involved in the Bonus Army bullshit are considered heroes today: Patton, MacArthur, Eisenhower.

Trust me on this. If you have a Verizon account, you don’t want to try to manage it online while traveling internationally. Your account is locked out: Not to worry, here’s a link that we will block if you access it internationally. Also here is a toll free number that you can’t call.

I am now convinced that Emmy voters don’t actually watch television.

“It’s like the dumbest people you know are in charge.”

Not really, because I don’t know people this stupid. And on the odd occasion when I do encounter people this stupid, I avoid them.

I wonder what the batteries in my garage are for?
