I bet I could do pretty well at snowboarding in the Olympics. I've done it twice and my only real problem was stopping, which does not seem to be a requirement in these events. I can just run into a net or something.

My wife had a 7mm stone laser zapped about two weeks ago. Easy-peasey and the recovery was super fast.

May yours go as well!

The President of the United States has announced he is ordering the release of any information about UFOs and aliens, in case you’re wondering what stage of β€œTrying to change the topic” we’re presently at.

My laptop keyboard occasionally does the same. No apparent cause. Infuriating.

So I was learning about Trump seriously talking of striking Iran & β€œMercy Mercy Me” from Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going on is playing in my house & it’s just like WHY has the world not gotten better so everything Marvin is singing about in that album is always current. Another damn war for nothing.

saw somebody yesterday refer to "soft republicans" that could hypothetically be turned to our side if we just reach out to them hard enough and i'm not sure how to tell you this but those do not exist

A common loon with a black head and red eye has its tail to us, turns a keen eye to the camera.  On its back, sleeping adorably, is a little black fluffy loon chick, head on the parent's folded wing.

Let's talk about the aircraft carriers of the animal world, the Common Loon (Gavia immer), native to Canada & the northern US.

The chicks are born precocial, meaning they can swim moments after hatching, but hitch a ride on a parent for two reasons...

Boar's Head brand "dessert hummus" - French Vanilla flavor. The label encourages the buyer to "enjoy with graham crackers" which:

A) I'd actually have to buy the crap to do that, and 
B) is a cruel thing to do to a perfectly innocent graham cracker.

Let me break it down. Some of us find Nazis objectionable because of the historical horrors their ideology has been responsible for & the terror they continue to perpetuate today. It's non negotiable & a hard stop. I can't be down for someone who hates me so bad he branded himself to proclaim it.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if youβ€˜re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

Yeah, the Nazi tattoo is part of the appeal for Platner for a lot of people. His candidacy is supposed to signal the left no longer concerns itself with β€œwoke” issues like public displays of bigotry.
