I just voted YES on Proposals A and B! Ann Arbor, I want to live in a community that prioritizes education, empowerment, and ingenuity. For zero new tax dollars, we can build a bigger, better library space for everyone. Join me in voting YES by 8 PM today! #A2Council

This very perceptive and applies broadly.

Trumpers and the Trump-curious are just as subject to the Iron Law of Institutions as everyone else, and Trump 2 gives them powerful internal arguments for their own institutional power to go with increased external pressure.

(Glad Bacon landed well.)

Ditto. I've seen the Wings and Pistons win, and the Lions are cursed and not worth worrying about.

Go tigers!

#OnThisDay August 1, 2010, Lisa Simpson was supposed to marry Hugh Parkfield, before an unfortunate dispute over pig cufflinks caused the wedding to be called off.

Side note: At the time this aired, it was 15 years in the future. It is now 15 years in the past. #TheSimpsons

You can see the refinement of the concept from TOS->TNG->DS9.

TOS made a lot of mistakes and compromises, but by S2 of TNG they had mostly figured out what to keep and what not.

Then DS9 got to learn from that (plus B5) which is partly why it has way fewer real stinkers even pre-Worf/Defiant.

Even has the same cadence

Sorry to hear that, Mal

Season 4 / Episode 12

"I got pictures of you, Quimby."

"You don't scare me. That could be anyone's ass."

That's phenomenal

Zero Hour!

We have no idea about that boy's opinions on gladiator movies.

These are great fun, lighthearted but enjoyably mean

Looking at the helmet site, I think this means it'll be a two-bye year in 2026. The Western game was set for Sep 5, not Aug 29, so the coaches may not mind a week off to prep for the Sooners at home.

Gif from Lisa on Ice where Maggie athletically snags a beer bottle one handed right before it would have smashed into Homer's head just as he is badmouthing her.

Well, you can't possibly like Maggie best. What has she ever done? Nothing for nobody!

These are so cool, love the pics and the project

Well put. Bad Day at Black Rock springs to mind as another exanple. He knew how to make getting out of a chair very menacing, but little else.

True, but an idiot who probably has a lot of readers that would plausibly be privy to that sort of information.

The keyboard heroes of Feb '22 war twitter will be with us for a long time yet.

That's a nice pull, but I don't think there was a lead in from Simpsons. Epguides lists the premier of 90210 as Oct 4, 1990. Simpsons S2 premier, the first one to go up against Cosby, was Oct 11, 1990. The 8:30 start time here is probably just avoiding the Cosby Show.

@joplinapp.bsky.social Joplin Cloud is reporting as "Under Maintenance" and said to check bluesky for updates, is there an estimated time until it's back up? Thanks, love the app

I enjoyed this article, and I'm petty enough to admit that I wasn't sold until this part:

"The 1929 team went 5-2-1, tying Army and losing a close game before 85,042 at Michigan while also suffering a blowout home loss to Dartmouth."

This was a fun read about a movie I've always liked.

America's tech oligarchy

Season 7 / Episode 23

"Uh, good evening, young man.
My name is Charles Norwood.
Furthermore to this beer
I would also like three of your finest, cheapest cigars.
Here's my I.D., which confirms my adultivity."

Fun fact: the statue was melted down into bullets to great fanfare . . . but most of the melted down bullets came not from the statue, but from lead window weights all over Manhattan.

Reasons I am worthy of a verification checkmark:

➡️ 20 years of NFL journalism experience!
➡️ Dazzling, hilarious insights!
➡️ Not a Nazi!
➡️ Charismatic silverbear energy!
➡️ Desperate for attention and validation!

OK, @bsky.app , I'm done messing around.

Either give me a check mark or I write one of those snippy "Why No One Uses or Likes Bluesky" thinkpieces that everyone on Bluesky likes to dunk on.

That sucks, my sympathies won't do much, but I hope things work out as well as they can
