Who would want less of that? I will never understand.

Seriously, it’s not that hard. You drink something that tastes like Gatorade mixed with seawater, spend a day pooping, have an absolutely lovely nap, immediately eat everything in sight, and continue on your merry way not dying of colon cancer.

Grew up mostly in North Jersey and totally cosign. This is the heartland of the now-extinct Moderate Classy Republican. This lady was my parents’ Member of Congress:

Dear men,
This isn't mentoring.

I am a huge fan of this idea.

In that case, you will get a decision (consults angle of the sun)… wait, when is Halley’s Comet due again? (Scribbles calculations…)
Yeah, it’s not coming soon.

Is that the Superior Court groundhog or the Commonweath Court groundhog? Sometimes they come to opposite conclusions but they’re equally authoritative.

Fascinating to find out that I’ve made like, three or four negative comments about AI here and am now on a block list called β€œtechno-pessimists.” It’s almost… like… there are people out there who don’t want us to have any kind of serious discourse about AI?

So many times Catherine O’Hara made me laugh until I thought I would have an aneurysm. I wish I could pay that back.

It's like a team of scientists found a really shitty person, carefully deleted the concept of "neighbor" from their brain, and then took notes while they grappled with the concept of nonrelated people living in proximity.

That IS the topic here. The topic here is whether it is reasonable for Chris to be annoyed by comments that seem to refuse to give courts credit for anything they do unless they do what the poster wants, even if what the poster wants is outside their powers.

NYT not Pitchbot-ing quite as much this week. Perhaps they have sensed which way the teargas is blowing.

It's worth noting that the population of Minnesota is about 5.8 million, so close to 1 in 100 people in this entire amazing state showed up to say #FuckICE today
