A vampire that's not Dracula

Klingon short-order cooks: “Today is a good day to fry.”

Every day is National Cat Day in my house!

Kind of disappointing it's not called PisScan.

My God they've just created a machine that incentivizes every Trump staffer to break the economy (and much else) on purpose so they can insider trade on Truth Social.

Literally every insider trading son of a bitch in this regime is gonna be deliberately *increasing* volatility as much as possible.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

“If we merely wait for the appropriate moment we will never live to see it, because this [appropriate moment] cannot arrive without the subjective conditions of the maturity of the revolutionary force being fulfilled - it can only arrive after a series of failed attempts.”

The Seattle dog is amazing and nothing like the abomination described in this video.

“The phenomenological world is not the bringing to explicit expression of a pre-existing being, but the laying down of being. Philosophy is not the reflection of a pre-existing truth, but, like art, the act of bringing truth into being.”

Yes folks, it's true: the NYT editorial board once had a spine.

I expect this sort of garbage take from a tech CEO, not the head of a major publishing house.

Thank goodness we now have AI to free us from the yoke of creativity.

Sounds like you should also be concerned about bounty hunter cryofreezes.

Worst send since the email I got from a pro se litigant last week.

This happened over the weekend.

I want you to watch it.

I want you to understand that wiping it out has been a major Russian imperial objective for literally centuries—under the Tsars, under the Soviets, and now.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

A British article about American culinary limitations wasn't quite expected, I'll admit.

He learned a lot as the coach of the Boston Celtics.

And especially so if he can tell his DOJ to give him a quarter billion.

US Supreme Court Holds That Federal Bribery Law Does Not Criminalize Gratuities | Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Snyder v. United States has the potential to impact other statutes dealing with bribes and payments to government officials, such as the FCPA.

Supreme Court: "Money talks, and money talking is Constitutionally protected speech".

"And by the way (wink, wink), you cannot bribe us for a specified quid pro quo, but tips for services rendered are greatly appreciated."

Democracy dying in the light of day.

I like the suggestion that whenever someone says they consulted an AI program, you should read the sentence as though they consulted an improv troupe.

He's a soybean farmer the same way George Steinbrenner was a baseball player.

The fact that some prominent Democrats defend a Maine Senate primary candidate’s Nazi tattoo while he isn’t even leading in polls, but not defend a NYC mayor primary winner from false smears even as he’s leading general election polls says a lot.

Why People Are Still Obsessed With the Montreal Expos 'Who Killed the Montreal Expos?' is a new sports documentary that explores the downfall of a baseball team through a whodunit lens. Two of the filmmakers, plus Canadian baseball great Larry Walker, ta...

I watched the last Expos game from the nosebleeds, on account of the sellout crowd. One guy's placard summed it up perfectly: "LORIA = BIN LADEN"

I see we're still doing nazi tattoo discourse and I just want to point out that working for Blackwater is also disqualifying
