What if we just didn't waste years of education as a signaling opportunity but instead used it as an educational one?

It’s basically item one on the Harvard Lampoon tryout’s list of hack constructions you should never stoop to comedy (β€œthe high-low switcheroo”) and I ALWAYS find them funny. One of a few reasons I’m not a super successful TV comedy writer

30 years ago, George H.W. Bush held up a bag of crack on live TV. Where'd he get it? Overall drug use, and the use of crack in particular, was in decline by 1989, but Bush turbocharged the war on drugs that night.

I realize this is all very serious and bad but it led me to the picture of George HW Bush holding a bag of crack and now all I can do is laugh about the phrase β€œGeorge HW Bush holding a huge bag of crack” whyy.org/articles/30-...

I don't see horror movies but I did once watch the director of Weapons perform a skit about the ghost of a guy who died during autoerotic asphyxiation (possibly playing the protagonist?) that was possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen

Everyone’s mad but these seem like perfectly fine political ideas to me. I would say though that a lot of Democrats β€œinnovate” they just don’t tend to be in charge

It's kind of funny that Google finally fixed their AI search... by making it a list of links with summaries relevant to your search. You know, exactly what it was before AI.

American Eagle here I claim is deeply Hegelian. The ad claims to be selling jeans. However, as the subjective lens settles on the breasts, a reversal occurs. The ad is no longer selling jeans. It is selling an erotic overflowing of potentiality. Here we find the dialectic in its most robust form.
