This Week in Unnecessary Censorship
YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live This Week in Unnecessary Censorship

I’m just gonna assume that it’s like that recurring “Unnecessary Censorship” bit that Jimmy Kimmel does.

The bleeped bits are perfectly innocuous but make it sound obscene, right?

Right??

How’d that work out for him, politically?

Sure would be nice if the really smart software engineers over at BlueSky HQ would spend some time on the (admittedly difficult) Edit feature, huh?

Also “photoshopped” instead of “photographed”, I assume?

I mean, it clearly WAS photographed, but that would be an odd thing to say.

All software is hard in its own way.

Also: Volvo probably doesn’t have the same budget that NASA did.

All poetry is not porn but all porn is…

Wait, no, that doesn’t work either. Sorry. Carry on.

There are 128 BCS teams and each team can play a maximum of 12 regular-season games per season (13 if playing Hawaii on the road).

If you can figure out a set of “strict parameters” to determine the 12 objectively “best” teams from that, you must be a fracking genius.

It’s a plan based on a band, a band based on a plan. 🎶

Art. 92 of the USMJ states that service members must obey all lawful orders. But it also says they are required to refuse orders that are clearly unlawful.

It then lists several examples, e.g.: targeting civilians; torturing detainees; and engaging in unauthorized domestic law enforcement actions.

“Follow up question! In the same spirit of openness and honesty: that’s complete bullshit and you’re a fucking lying bitch who will burn in Hell if it turns out your professed Christian beliefs are true.

Sorry…that was more of a statement than a question.”

Overvalued by at least $3B at that price.

“Democrat” on its own (whether with a small d or a big one) is not a pejorative; “Democrat Party” is intended to be, however.

That said, I never understood why they think that’s such a zinger. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t either. My point was that, in an attempt to verify your claim (verdict: TRUE), I looked up the team on espn and it turns out that they REALLY suck.

How much of that is a reflection on their current head coach is an exercise I’ll leave for the reader.

Technically they were raised thinking they were half-siblings, but — 🚨 SPOILER ALERT! 🚨 — they were actually first cousins. 🤓🐉

The next person who “remains healthy” “always” will, to the best of my knowledge, be the first person to do so.

Would that be the currently 1-10 Spartans, losers of nine straight, who’ve been outscored by over 150 points so far this season?

THAT Norfolk State?

That’s not at all true. I run a (very) small IT support biz & I literally just launched a new web-based service for my clients that I host locally on my own servers, but that relies on CloudFlare’s free DNS proxying and automatic SSL/TLS encryption to keep my clients’ data and my own network secure.

Did Patton point out the obvious: that if the left really was pushing for no-sex birth certificates, and CA had actually passed such a law, that there actually would’ve been a lot of talk about it here in the BlueSky Bubble?

Someone with a strong stomach watch the interview and report back. TIA. 🙏

OK, but did he ever actually answer the question?

Remember, he doesn’t actually NEED the House to do anything to release the files, let alone the Senate. All he has to do is pick up the phone.

But if we go through this charade anyway, will he sign the bill?? (I think we all know the answer.)

Dibs on “Blowing Bubba” as a band name, if no one else has claimed it yet. 🙋‍♂️

List of autocompleted search queries beginning with “Doctor”.

“Doctor Who” is the second response. 

(Yes, I totally faked this up.)
