in my intro to anthropology class in college, we had to "examine" owl pellets to figure out from the rodent bones inside what it had eaten.

Somehow, this was supposed to be an analog to understanding primate evolution.

I think the prof just had an awful sense of humor.

man, I should've played Skyrim.

I'm genuinely less worried than when it might've been Paramount.

just...it's CHEAPER TO DEPORT WITHOUT PRISON

You'd think an uber capitlaist like Phil would understand economics.

(Not that I'm championing deportations, mind you)

i might not read your next novel after this affront.

counterpoint: your work is (and has been for years) absolutely gorgeous.

(And I am REALLY excited for the bound volume once it gets printed/shipped btw!)

you must be absolutely freezing.

pretzels and Cheez-it

Just so I understand: SCOTUS thinks Texas is likely to succeed on the merits of an appeal against 3 district judges' order scuttling its blatantly Unconstitutional redistricting plan?

In what universe?

The rule of law is increasingly meaningless.

Wait WHAT?

I need to see if there are tickets available!

Oh look, the predictable consequences of your own stupidty.

Except it's going to hurt thousands of people every year.

Take a moment to let that sink in. One vaccine saved ~20,000 babies from infection *annually*

TFW you have Jahmyr Gibbs and Brandon Aubry on your fantasy team.

(This will be my only FFB post of the year)

Seriously you need to get with the program. We're talking about how the Germans refer to their country.

No you're thinking of a Highlander.

We're talking about the advice columnist from the newspaper

No no no that's Homeland. We're talking about that Jim Caveizel scifi retelling of Beowulf.

A friend bought several thinking he could make money leasing them to tourists... It did not work out.

But they were fun

"Temu Vecna"

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.

I know i'm old when I don't know who either party in this "controversy" are.

Sure, we call the good ones "Subarus"

no, you're thinking of Outlander. We're talking about that movie with Christopher Lambert that costarred Clancy Brown and takes place in Scotland and NYC.

well I've...uh...heard from people who are totally not me...that...erm...maybe this isn't right?

Homelander? Nah, he's just deeply misunderstood.

And....um..pay no attention to what happens at Herogasm. I promise it's totally cool stuff and not at all a depraved orgy of sex and murder.

I occasionally send friends Dick pics.

Usually it's Dick Sergeant. But sometimes I go with Dick Van Patten or even Dick Cavett.

Once in a while? Dick Gregory.

Because Terry was trained by a jerk.

Batman is a badass, but he's also a jerk

What's a little trampling of your rights when there's a bogeyman out there, scaring people who will never actually see him because he's not really there at all?

This is peak Snyder: visually gorgeous and utter trash script that barely makes sense

Raffi, if you've never eaten @ Nancy's Pig Heaven, you should make it your business to go in and order a big plate of ribs (and probably the Peking Duck, too).

at first, I thought this was a new strain of cannabis..
