I've given it some thought, and I think the funniest possible outcome is if they somehow decide to impeach Bill Clinton again

Laughter is pretty much the cure for not laughing

Our original sin was not hanging Jeff Davis and Robert Lee.

have you ever tried staring into the infinite void of chaos and feeling the universe speaking to you in infinite combinations of screams

one thing you should not discount is the idea that if the party is obviously going down in flames, that every Republican he has dominated is going to want to kill and eat him. i am not being metaphorical.

Sapphire is obviously the most wlw gemstone.

Evil cleric, casting curse water to counter or dispel bless water: "ain't no blessed for the liquid"

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

Considering the British invented most of what they now consider “correct” spellings long after English spelling had been standardized and well into the 19th-century, it’s a pretty silly hill to die on.

Arthur Dent saying "It must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays."

The part where a character was literally punching his own depression in the face, repeatedly and extensively? Satisfying.

The part where punching the depression just made it worse, and the problem was in fact solved with hugs? Spoke to me on a spiritual level.

Growing Persons My overarching goal as a teacher is to grow youths into more complete human persons. The choice of verb is one key element: grow (transitive...

Some candidates might put this entry, or even just the first one-sentence paragraph of this entry, as the whole entire Teaching Philosophy section of their portfolio. That's really closer to the amount of verbiage expected than what I've got going on.

Reminds me of
Bagpipes of Invisibility: you're invisible as long as you're playing it. (The bagpipes is not silent.)

with someone with an ego of his size, he *cannot* view himself as a child molester. That is a kind of thing that he cannot be and retain his ego, therefore it must not be true

we know he thinks like this because he also thinks this about being a person who has caused grocery prices to go up

I think it’s also that his friendship with Epstein came during the time he was considered a loser and a joke. Jeff the New York financier had more pull and power than him; he was the hanger-on, the person playing second kiddie-fiddler.

Ultimately, Eternity in the Void doesn't seem any/much worse than Eternity in *any* one single place? Very hellish either way? Kind of gives lie to the characters' repeated insistence that no, there is no Hell?

I fully expected a What Dreams May Come ending -- ie they catch Joan & throw her into the Void & Larry dives into the Void after her & they spend Eternity in the Void together & that's a good thing.

I might've liked that better? Even if whoever's in charge doesn't then fish them out of the Void?

Everybody spends the movie obsessing how much more attractive Luke is than Larry? But, like, objectively, regular-everyman-lookin' Larry is actually over nine thousand times more attractive than british-royal-family-lookin'-ass Luke? Even before any non-physical attributes come into play?

ETERNITY (2025): I do enjoy me a bureaucratic afterlife; this is a well-known aspect of my lore.

As per Disney Dreamlight Valley, Timon's self-help advice, to be more like Timon, includes "defeat somebody's uncle".

I definitely enjoy and approve of the (AAVE? gen-Z?) construction "feeling some kind of way about". ie, one has Emotions about a thing, but the Emotions are non-specific, vague, or complex.

ok Big Pharma spends so, so much more money on lobbyists for both parties than Israel does

Big Pharma clearly does not control the government

why do people attribute things like the shutdown to AIPAC when clearly lobbying money cannot even protect Tylenol from being slandered

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."

Yes, really.
