a man and a woman are dancing in front of a wall of lights Alt: A scene from Wicked: For Good showing The Wizard, Elphaba, and Glinda dancing in the throne room in front of the giant Oz head with dance-club like rainbow lights chasing around the room.

I vote that the specific dance move in #Wicked /For Good be referred to as the "elphabow".

I fear they've stopped making the SE which for me is the perfect form factor and price point. I don't want a big phone, I want it to fit in my pocket comfortably.

True! They are also toaster ovens with a built-in fan for convection. I never liked air fryers until I got a big one the size of a microwave oven and I don’t think I’ve used my regular big oven in like three years. I cooked a whole 4 pound chicken in mine the other day.

A picture of a coffee-table travel book about Barcelona, but inside is a hollowed-out compartment to hide small objects. Two books are shown, one open, one closed.

Who knows the treasures that books can conceal?

“Russia, if you’re listening…”

So I don't have a major roach problem, but I think the adjoining apartment does since I see them occasionally in my sink, likely coming up the drain. I put down some baits that are to "kill the nest" and it was so weird to see a roach and be like "Yessss, welcome in! Eat all you want and carry out!"

Single-old-man life hack: I have stretchy Purple sheets which are sometimes clingy and difficult to extricate one’s self from. Last night I discovered instead of getting under the sheet, I lay on top of it, grab the edge, and roll myself like a burrito.

The one thing I remember from visiting DC is that it’s very bright and very hot in the summer. All that white concrete is gonna make it excruciating to be out there during warm months.

Whined the most about "witch hunts" and weaponization of the government; proceeds to weaponize the government and conduct witch hunts.

Hot Sausage!

We apologize for the delay bringing the intfiction.org forum back up. There are technical issues still being resolved and we appreciate your patience.

Our intfiction.org forum has been down for more than 24 hours. (It’s not just you!) Our hosting provider has notified us that “recovery is underway” but has provided us with no estimate as to when the forum will be back. Check status.iftechfoundation.org for the status of all of IFTF’s sites.

Oof. I am currently laid low with what seems like a (hopefully minor) case of food poisoning. I'd suggest avoiding "Gordon Ramsay Black Garlic Beef" cup ramen flavor if you're sensitive. I found it in the "random" aisle at Aldi.

Spearmint tea is helping a lot. WHAT KIND OF SANDWICH ARE YOU GORD-

Green is for aliens and the pizza slice in the logo is white.

I've always thought of "meter" as the written time signature like 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, but depending on how notes are split and arranged, you can have different rhythms within the same meter. You can have triplets inside of 4/4 meter that imply a 3/4 waltz, or 4/4 can be in a "swing" rhythm or straight.

The picture is right though...I wonder if this was an in joke in the vein of GMD - maybe the creators were being saucy when they submitted the blurb?

oh nuuuuu.

Likely you’ve never signed up for the Social Security website and created an account so they have your email.

America just got leg swiped, but hopefully we can pull off a karate kid hopping flamingo roundhouse kick in the last five minutes of the movie.

I’m sure they’ll do this even though a celebration of violence is stupid but UFC makes sense since America and democracy got kneecapped this year.

Who told him that thank you for your attention to this matter was the way you end every message? I suppose it’s a little better than when he signs his tweets.

Weird how the second amendment will take no discussion and can’t be adjusted or interpreted in any tiny way, but for birthright citizenship, he’s all “oh they just meant this for babies of slaves…”

From what I understand, the executive VP order is unconstitutional But the Supreme Court ruling means one lawsuit in one area doesn’t set precedent for everywhere so since they’re summarily deporting within hours, there’s no time to file a court case for every single person they wanted to deport

So can individual states now just blanket declare anyone born in the state is a US citizen and no lawsuit is required?

If I understand, the Supreme Court did not overturn birthright citizenship, they just made it extremely difficult to apply precedent from one case federally.

I thought he had advisors. Why is he crowdsourcing what other heads of government are saying?

(I checked, there is no mention of artificial grass or turf in the article.)
