Where "comply or die" is accepted, liberty has fled.

Or...we could have elected the Black lady.

Disney movie music -- let the copyright lawyers clean them out.

There's "pissing all over a storied legacy" and then there's...whatever this is.

Death is not an acceptable consequence of inconveniencing government officials, *let alone* fake police who have no statutory right to police powers.

I need this in my life.

DAR Eagle Lectern Loaned to the Inaugural Committee I know that you will share my pride in knowing that the Inaugural Committee has requested the use of the historic DAR eagle lectern this week. During the four previous Presidential Inaugurations, the ...

Looks like a riff on this DAR lectern: blog.dar.org/2021/01/19/d...

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

If your defense of a public figure hinges on the distinction between pedophilia, hebophilia, and ephebophilia, you might want to reconsider where you're standing.

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Workplace mantra for today: I can do anything, but I can't do everything.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Halloween money-saving tip: if you think stopping SNAP benefits is a good thing, you need no costume since you're already a ghoul.

The sun rises, the sun falls, the earth freezes, the earth thaws, but one thing remains the same: Ross Douthat will have the most impossibly stupid take on the pressing issue of the day.

gods help me, but I think I'm really coming to enjoy Python.

With all the respect I can muster: you dumbshit.

Yesterday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a press briefing: "One of the individuals we arrested recently in Portland was the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa."

Does anybody *NOT* understand why this is a profoundly ridiculous thing to say? I'm happy to provide clarity, if so.

Could ICE possibly be any more cartoonishly evil than this? What the hell happened to America?

She's at the beginning of a stellar career -- very much looking forward to seeing how far she goes. Just stupendously talented.

My wife helped me with that: when she started saying "fuck your garbanzos, fuck them" I stopped buying them. Point being, there are valid supply-side approaches to this.

If in any political conversation, someone says "Both sides...", you're talking with someone whose thinking is inadequate for this moment *and* who wants you to accept that inadequacy as valid conversational coin.

Well, it's right on the label. Best. Farter. Ever. The quality & volume of that person's flatus conveys critical cues about the trenchant wisdom of their insights.

Shorter Pete Hegseth: the Pentagon is now the Mojo Dojo Casa House. Hoorah.

What's the deal with their insignia & gear? No two of them match. Who *are* these people?

We'll discuss it in the morning standup. It may be pushed to the next sprint.

3D printer build plate with custom ice cube tray model

Our five-year-old Samsung refrigerator developed cracks in the ice cube tray, which is only available as part of the $200 backordered ice maker assembly. OK fine, today will be iterating on a replacement.
