Gary Larson, The Far Side. It portrays a character named Professor Schwartzman testing his newest invention, a "canine decoder" helmet, which translates what dog barks into English. Several dogs are visible speaking in the panel, and all of their barks translate to the same word: "Hey.“

I think about this one pretty much every afternoon

Good morning. Danny Glover was only 41 when he declared he was too old for this shit.

It is kinda wild how the president is evidently receiving some kind of regular medical care that requires IVs and we don't know what's up

it is pouring and she could not possibly care less

I have very few complaints about Oregon but going to/from work in winter feels a little like traveling through Mordor

i kind of hate how much these guys can’t be bothered to dress themselves well or even visibly take care of themselves

Jesus lady you're an adult. leaving South Dakota cannot be worth this

let’s all take a moment to appreciate blank VHS packaging design trends

This is true and it goes deeper than this.

EMS in the United states is a poorly regulated enterprise, and is typically supported in whole or in part by local *fire* departments that have had to adapt over the last generation or two to increasing emergency medical services needs.

This is the stupidest possible angle to take about the very real problem that people want to role play in lots of ways that D&D isnt suited for but D&D has such crushing market share that people shoehorn their games into a system that actively resists them

nobody I know has ever heard of this movie, which is in the same realm as Benson/Moorhead's The Endless

woke up early so I am currently watching 2013's excellent shoestring budget movie "Coherence"

Icu nursing technically, but I'm in a rural location now so my patients are often awake and able to speak

Donald Trump is approaching the line where i can truthfully say i have patients who look healthier than he does

i spent some time today thinking about how one thing i like about wes anderson is he has a lot of love and appreciation for americana and has a fondness for 20th century american cultural products but the second he had the money he got the fuck out of texas to live wherever he could in europe

The most 1980s-coded product possible:

large building shaped like fish

not now babe it's infishtructure week

one reason "great power competition" is a bad description of the emerging order is that an interlinked global kleptocracy does not care about national interests or rivalries

there's a whole genre of youtube now where some guy will buy a decrepit bus, van, or boat and spends the next 18 months of his life living in the open wilderness, cutting a finger off, and contracting lyme disease trying to fix it up. they all just ignored the "instead of going to therapy" tweets

incredible quote lol

I object most stenuously to this photo insofar as he is clearly awake with eyes open, which may be the most unrealistic element

OK, who narced?

traditional color theory posits that red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors from which all other colors are derived. in global culinary theory, however, sauces tend to align around red, yellow, or green. this suggests that blue sauces, or the absence thereof, are the last creative frontier
