You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

When we tell you that Democrats want the same thing as Republicans, just quieter this is exactly what we mean.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

There's a tradition that Simeon was, like, supernaturally old and this was sort of a lifting-of-a-curse situation, but there's nothing in the text to back that up and it's entirely possible he's, like, 35 and just like "welp, there's the Messiah, guess it's time to punch the ol' clock."

The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.

if you make "getting a beer with your friends after work" inaccessible to people who work at the grocery store then what the fuck do you suppose is going to happen
