I really feel bad for the genuinely talented.

Looking forward to the federal takeover of Tusla, Oklahoma's police department.

Read this today, read this next summer.

Panels one and two: Two white mice make their way through a maze. Panel three: Having completed the maze, the two mice are rewarded with some fruit. Two scientists watch them. One says: “Poor little things: all that thought and effort just to earn themselves a little treat.” The second scientist looks at a clock and says: “Coffee time!” Panels four and five: The two scientists make their way through a maze of corridors to a door marked “Canteen” Panel six: The scientists look at the food on offer. One says: “Ooh, Donuts!”

The program, which aimed to expand solar energy in low-income and disadvantaged communities, had awarded $156 million to a coalition in the state.

B.R.A.K.E.S FREE advanced driving school Every day car crashes end more teen lives than murder, cancer or suicide, and thousands of teens are hospitalized every year due to crashes. B.R.A.K.E.S. is on a mission to change that.

I also sent him to B.R.A.K.E.S and highly recommend it. They do wet surface braking, dropping a wheel, distracted driving and have them all sit in an 18 wheeler to understand what they CAN'T see.

Free. I donated the fee. It was that good.

Worth noting that 15 year old Cosmic Jr. HATED the guy. 18 year old Cosmic Jr the delivery guy LOVED whipping into parallel spaces like Luke threading the Death Star.

When Cosmic Jr had to go to driving school for his license, I skipped the "ride around with the coach" and sent him to a private driving instructor who guaranteed me:

He would be able to parallel park, merge onto the interstate, execute a 3 point turn, and back a trailer.

WORTH EVERY DIME!

Serious question - if we are stuck within a set of funds, which ones are less likely to give our money to economic blood suckers?

I would presume you would not be IN the bunker, dear.

Lots of data here, but I'm going with "states that have a significant percentage of parallel parking spaces but do not require it on the driving test" in a Venn with "states known for big ass trucks and teeny parking spaces".

Is there a GoFundMe to replace the sammich?

Man fired 180 shots, breaking 150 windows, in CDC attack The man who attacked the CDC headquarters in Atlanta on Friday fired more than 180 shots into the campus and broke about 150 windows.

The shooter fired 180 rounds breaking 150 windows at CDC. Why isn’t RFK Jr making a statement?

Another one.

Cards Against Humanity: Tang & Company Authoritarian Deck

Old people and sick people are expensive. How else do we reduce their cost without recycling them? Hmmm?

It wasn't until Covid, when they were using Dippin' Dots storage for the vaccines, that I realized Dippin' Dots were flash frozen, not freeze dried. And not bad on a hot day at the zoo.

Those "space" ice cream squares were NASTY. And not even a NASA thing like Tang.

If you can "augment with AI", you can sell bunkers to the techbro edgelords and not worry about the whole "coming back to the surface" thing. 😈

It's on the list for next weekend. It's been a really great summer for genre films.

I remember Bhopal. I have no doubt they all knew about *waves arms* all this.

Mr. Cosmic and I were watching live when they took the Babbitt woman's body off on the stretcher.

J6 is a "where were you when" event.

You mean the freeze dried Neopolitan? 😲

Mr. Cosmic is working on a Little Free Library for me and I've ordered a snot ton of banned books for it. I intend to stock it with kids books, banned books, magazines, and as many Sinclair Lewis and Orwell novels as I can find.

So waaaaaay back, I was a paper Wired subscriber. I picked up a digital subscription, but went ahead and got the paper mag because the price was pretty much the same. I'm focused on dropping them in waiting rooms when I'm done.

The Dark Side Of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., The Patriarch Of The Kennedy Family Joseph Kennedy may have been JFK's father and a powerful diplomat, but his anti-Semitism and Nazi sympathies cast a dark cloud over his story.

He was a sympathizer. And a huge anti-Semite.

You mean incels aren't buying them for their Canadian girlfriends? *gasp*
