I'm not generally a praying guy, but I pray that word association leads...somebody... to say their favorite Redford movie is All the Presidents Men

It seems like people keep trying to redefine Ariadne's role in mythology, art least I assume that's what the ship of Theseus is

Capitalism: anyone can be rich.
Communism: no one can be rich.
Socialism: anyone can be rich, but no one should be destitute.

Capitalism: anyone can be rich. Communism: no one can be rich. Socialism: anyone can be rich, but no one should be destitute.

This is pretty close. Folks, your enemies are not the neighbors with differing ideas about how to be happy, but the oligarchs manipulating to hate your neighbors.

I guess the story is he saw Carhenge and felt he could do better. He wasn't wrong

Given how stupid this timeline is, im calling it that his spruce goose will be a bigger travesty than the cybertruck with bamboo (he'll speak of how fast it grows, its renewable, it sequester carbon, has a neg. carbon footprint), then when it fails we will say he bamboozled us. Because this timeline

I feel it's a real missed opportunity that probiotics weren't big enough back in the day to do a cross promotion with Digitial Underground's 'Gutfest 89'

Kinda wild that Dr Strange would fight for the Benefit of Humankind when that's who he is being played by

There's a song by Run The Jewels, 'Ohh LA La', it's quite subversive. Bunch of people burning their cash and credit cards, and I assume the use of French is a.... reference.

My question is how it came to be used in a commercial for TurboTax

To see where humans went wrong, to see where civilization took a turn beyond which it was doomed to failure, one need only look to the beginning of it

He didn't get as much attention as David Lynch, but Bob Uecker also passed pn 1/16. Just rewatched Major League, he was HILARIOUS, and it's said that how he announced in real life

That protects insurance, not something I'm interested in

Not sure if this is cynical or valid: insurance insurance. Like employers paying into unemployment insurance, health insurance companies have to pay into a fund that pays the equivalent of a life insurance policy if it is found health insurance decisions for coverage contributed to a death

Unfortunate, the Venn diagram of people who make mashups and those that would appreciate the mashup "Town Called Malice's Restaurant"

Does it count as irony that 47 is a prime number, i.e. indivisible?

As we head into our latest effort to repeat the errors of our past, I wonder where our modern 'A Modest Proposal' might be found

I can't help but think about how we, as a nation, are disappointing Jimmy Carter and Dick Van Dyke

Recently I've taken to describing great actors as those who play such disparate roles that you are shocked to realize they're the same person. Gary Oldman's top of my list, but after looking into The Assasination Bureau, I realized I've been sleeping on the genius of Dianna Rigg, shown below 4 times
