"Canadian croissants are cube shaped" feels like a South Park gag.

You mean "Seal Lullaby", of course. There's a version set to music. I'm supposed to be rehearsing it right now.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

Gutfeld was like this before Trump.

This sounds like regular human trafficking, not human trafficking as a euphemism for prostitution, which is how everybody seems to use it today. I.e., he was the Indian equivalent of a coyote.

If so, I can't muster much outrage.

So it only works if you're larger for the fitting and smaller for the competition, right? If you're the same size both times, it doesn't help?

The classic Far Side cartoon in which a penguin sings "I gotta be me" in the midst of thousands of identical penguins.

Maybe I'm not using it right, but it just looks like this to me.

You're free to dislike the ending of "The Cold Equations", but you have to admit that changing that ending would alter the story in a more fundamental way than letting Jeff Goldblum live.

I think New Haven pizza in general is overrated, but I can confirm that the clam pizza is spectacular.

He said "more than $1300". If the price they're using is $1349, that would be exactly 578% more than $199. Which is still not a 578% decrease, obviously.

It has happened in other countries, often much worse than this. It's called "hyperinflation".

Nobody has taken Bitcoin seriously as a currency for years, though. It would be silly to compare this to inflation.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

These days I see the rye chips on their own as often as the mix. They know what they've got.

Are you actually getting AI-generated "fan mail"? Not professional networking type stuff, but "readers" who just want to talk about your books?

I can't imagine why anyone would do that.

For Liam.

Chair-bound Christopher Pike from Trek TOS “Menagerie” two-parter

This would fit right in with a basic cable history series from twenty years ago. Emotionless and flat reenactments were standard for those. Just don't pretend that it's more than that, or that it ever will be more than that.

It's appropriate that barbed wire comes from a machine that also looks like it would be really painful to fall on.

Icy.

Obviously that doesn't excuse him, or anyone else involved.

I watched the second video once, and I don't intend to watch it again.

It looked like something spooked the first agent, and then he fires the first shot. I don't think it was an accidental discharge. Maybe he heard someone say that they'd found a gun, and misunderstood.

I should add that even if the photo was first posted today, that doesn't mean that it's real, or that the gun belonged to the victim, or that he was holding it when he was shot, or that the shooting was justified.

... my post got cut off and I don't feel like cropping the image again to repost it. I was saying, here are a bunch of articles about COVID 19 that Google has wrongly dated to 2018 or earlier.

A page of Google News results showing headlines about COVID 19 that Google has dated to 2018 or earlier. The dates are obviously wrong.

It took me a while to understand. I think they're saying it's fake because Google claims to show the same image posted five days ago.

However, Google dates are nonsense, and don't prove anything. For example, here are a bunch of news articles about COVID

'Sinister Minnesotans' T-Shirt Show your solidarity with the Sinister Minnesotans refusing to back down from the ICE agents currently polluting their great state with brutality, lawlessness, and an obvious dependence on testosteron...

We've made this Sinister Minnesotans shirt from our Stan Kelly comic this week.

Net proceeds from this shirt will be donated to local organizations doing their part to keep Minnesotans safe and send ICE agents home to ruin their own fucking communities.

Fuck ICE and stay strong, Minneapolis.

Wait, the Tarrio tweet was fake? The one where he confirmed it? The list looked fishy, but I assumed the confirmation was real.

I hate that I have to work to keep track of stuff like this.
