It's telling that almost every Dem president in recent memory had to pass, as their first bit of legislation, some variation of a "Rescue America' act.

Isn’t that just a remake of The Unearthly?

As an alternative to watching the SOTU here’s a timelapse of me painting a cat. Both options may be unappealing and bear no semblance to reality, but at least my video has a soothing piano soundtrack. youtube.com/shorts/kNk9k...

"Please assume 'sic' for all quotes." That poor editor saw the barely-literate writing on the wall early in the article.

I'm counting on someone to provide a buffer and provide context for the expected batcrap crazy effluvium that will be produced, and it would be great if you'd make that sacrifice for the rest of us. Make it a hybrid sotu stream and bread baking demo and I think we have a series!

Genuinely have never heard a dem politician ever even reference them.

Really fun series. I’ve been sitting on the books for too long but it’ll be helpful to go into them with faces to put with the names. There are so many different settings the show will be a big help just getting a frame of reference!

It was so cool - I didn’t even know what show it was for when I worked on it (I was freelancing so I didn’t ask too many questions, I was just happy for the work) but it was awesome to just be watching the show on my own and see my little slimy kids in action. I was a proud papa!

Ooh, I did some work for that show! If you see semi-transparent poisonous space slugs slithering about, that was partially me. I was on slug squad.

It must take every ounce of self control for them not to wring the heads off right there in the ice. Ooh, now I’m imagining what the floor of the locker room must look like after they leave. God, the carnage.

Every time the announcer said β€œJack Hughes” I thought he was yelling β€œJ’accuse!” at someone who had wronged him. I had no idea the broadcast booth was filled with so many unsavory characters

Not exactly related but every time the announcer said β€œJack Hughes” I thought he was yelling β€œJ’accuse!” at someone who had wronged him.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard about sticky toffee pudding, and I am already very particular about what proportion of sauce to pudding shall be deemed acceptable. I’ll probably never need to utilize that knowledge but it’s nice to have at hand.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

And he follows that by claiming that the reason people come here - including, one assumes, all of those people from different cultures he hates so much - is…because of the monolithic Anglo environment America supposedly offers. One of us is very confused.
