Disney might actually be bright enough to have picked up on what we can start calling the Harvard rule: capitulation equals "I'm your gimp."

"My recipe? Oh, I sat in a restaurant for four days complaining and gesturing inarticulately and sending everything back until they made me something I liked."

Where does a bridge across a canal have a 20 degree slope? None of them do. Not one. That's not how Dutch cities work.

Now they have to bury billions of burgers in a salt mine to offset the carbon.

Er, if they'd consulted a single tribal council. They were in the phone book.

Not long ago I was curious to see if there was data on historical ice coverage on the Great Lakes. I found great plots on the EPA website. Those pages seem to be gone now.

Somebody told me about pie and posted a picture of it and now I'm big mad because they're not here giving me free pie

Sad Jetsons: Depression, Buttonitis and Nostalgia in the World of Tomorrow All Jane needs to recover from a case of the blues is a little bit of 19th century Americana

This opening post started me off on a train of recollection that led me to this article. It's not *precisely* relevant but I thought I'd share it anyway: www.smithsonianmag.com/history/sad-...

People who think "actual thinking" means “insipid contrarianism that substitutes banal edgelordery for any meaning or principle" almost only go right.
Never socialists or super-woke or whatever, always variations on "this bigot is making arguments and you're close-minded if you're not open to them."

I suspect if every EU entity transitioned to Mastodon or similar, many individual governments would follow in pretty short order and it would spur an awful lot of people to do the same.

And yet somehow he convinces investors he's a genius.

His youtube profile has nothing on it except a join date in 2020

I'm not sure it's possible to humiliate him. It's probably serious leverage of some kind.

I never worked out if they ever explained why dead villain is alive again. Or does it simply not matter because everybody watching was expected to be in "I don't care, more Stranger Things" territory now?

Thank you for your service.

It's curious that he doesn't have the Bush / Trump magic trick of making his awful past not matter to the press.

Maybe if he stood on a friend's shoulders and they went door to door wearing a trench coat and when people answered he could say "hello, we're a-- I mean I'm a man. A masculine man" then he wouldn't need to do this other stuff.

The commandment is "remember the sabbath and keep it holy". In what perverse reality is ministering to the sick unholy?

This almost makes me wish I hadn't left that site

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned: I pushed a stroller out of the way of a speeding car on the sabbath"

I suppose it's an aside, but any law against ministering to the sick on the sabbath is an obscenely bad law. I suppose you couldn't feed the starving on the sabbath either?

Their obsession with masculinity, tying it into the god-damnedest things: there's nothing like continually broadcasting your deepest insecurity to the world...

To the surprise of absolutely no one with a plural brain cell count

Probably everyone knows this by now but it still slays me that Gary Numan is two weeks older than Gary Oldman.

Ooo top troll

Pretenders, issued January 1980

And it was used to launch MTV in 1981.

Mind you next up was Pat Benatar, who's pretty 1970's.

Also not so much a hill as a kind of escarpment.
