Rewatching The Suicide Squad while doing household tasks.

I remembered it as being good - it is better than I remembered. It is excellent.

Special for this week only (Nov 6 - 13), and only for fellow liberals! If you follow my account this week, I will give you a free pass on one anti-Semitic statement! People under 20 get two! First time followers only, not valid in Texas.

Just heard this - if Democratic Party leadership found a magic lamp, and was granted three wishes, they'd negotiate down to one, and then use that wish for something they thought Republicans would like.

My name is Doug and I 100% accept this "I told you so."

This is like Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, owning an online football gambling app.

If you want to see the Libertarian response, watch the video with the sound off.

Question for experienced, successful teachers:

Over your career, have you:
a) Become a good teacher
b) Become good at convincing your students you are a good teacher
c) Become good at convincing yourself you are a good teacher

I'm doubting my default answer today.

"So I dated this guy who claimed to have been a contortionist."
"Were you impressed?"
"Nah, not the flex he thought it was"

Thanks to the wonders of voice recognition, I have now texted a friend and told her that the gaps in my tiles have now been filled in with cock

He has actually said some pretty interesting things about his time on the Man Show, and how he has evolved.

If you can't name the speaker of the Minnesota House nor the Minnesota Senator that were shot dead, then you can shut up about Charlie Kirk.

SERVER: Coffee or Tea?
ME: Coffee
SERVER: One coffee. Do you take cream?
ME: No, thank you.
SERVER: No worries.

Umm... "No worries?" I wasn't apologizing. I wasn't worried. I wasn't a teeny bit worried. I had less worry than the Libertarian Party has backbone. Nothing.

But now I'm kinda worried.

They named the Washington airport after Reagan, and made him a sacred legend. I am not going to be able to take Trump's elevation to Godhood like the old Roman emporers.

There is some distortion here - I was very close when I took the picture. The Octosaurus (orange) is NOT this much of a behemoth. But he and Ethan (gray) are officially "we can share the cat tree" friends.

I think it is fascinating. Thank you for creating it.

Oh! So they are not suddenly repelling, but overshooting because of the mega strong attraction?

The gravity one is fascinating, but I'm not understanding what is going on when I restrict it to one color. If there is repulsion, I get what is going on. But if the particles are attracted to each other, why don't they become a singularity?

Here's my take on "nature" vs. "nurture."

Some were hurt very badly early in life, and some weren't. Being hurt when growing up affects your personality. That's "nurture."

Some become adults who now want to hurt others. And some become adults who are terrified of hurting others. That's "nature"

My favorite version of the trolley problem: A trolley is headed to kill 10 people. If you pull the lever, it goes to another track and everyone lives. BUT a cat is sleeping on the lever and you will disturb her if you pull the lever. What do you do?

Welp! Trump did what only Teddy Roosevelt had been able to do - reconcile the Russians and the Chinese. He's done even better; he's united them.

I’m thinking about it now. What I would do is get a response system like mental meter where people could answer Pohl questions on their phone and the result would be displayed behind you on the screen. At various points in the panel, you could get the audience to weigh in on their behaviors

I think this would be a good panel and it would last an hour if you gave audience members the chance to tell their stories
