Oh maybe you can settle this debate I have with a friend. Is Cyclops eye thing red because his eye beams are cherry flavored or strawberry flavored?

A meme of Secretary Kristi Noeme's head on Chancellor Palatine's body from Revenge of the Sith with the words "Coming soon" and the Palestine quote of "The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed".

My hot sports take is no 3 loss team (and I include a loss in the conference title game) should be allowed in the CFP bracket. #CFP

I fear the crypto bubble will burst and the taxpayer will be asked to bail them out. Please protect taxpayers from such a scenario.

Not to be pedantic, but I never said to hand them anything. Fascism bad, full stop. Some, besides being bad people, are also bad dressers.

Say what you will about Illinois Nazis, they at least have better fashion sense than Ohio Nazis. Yikes.

I wouldn't want that for you, but turn it into a screenplay and I think you have an Oscar contender.

Spider-Man is a poor college kid. He doesn't have money to hire a contractor. He installed it incorrectly himself after watching a DIY video online.

So what I'm hearing is if I'm ever in a medical call, I should insist that the fire engine be what takes me to the hospital. Got it.

But it leads to one me paraphrasing him badly/incorrectly "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it"!

Feels like a "Teach the controversy" parody shirt they used to make with an Aristolean elemental chart, the Devil burying fossils etc.

The only way to make Bibi stop is with US troops on the ground. And that is not something I think anyone thinks is a good idea.

Scene from Hot Fuzz where a cloaked woman says "It's all about the greater good". Second panel is a bunch of other cloaked people respond "The greater good" in unison.

As an agnostic with Catholic upbringing (at the time and to this day), I didn't take it personally and found it amusing. If it was the same guy, he didn't deserve any assault, but some boos from the crowd seemed fair game. Especially in this topic of free speech zones on campus.

I do not. He was a middle age (40ish) white guy at the time so he'd be likely around 70 now. I will give him credit that he did take questions, but I don't know if a crowd of Gen Xers trying to trip him up sat particularly well.

Yeah that sounds like them.

Best West Mall experience was the chess club setting up tables to play blitz chess. Need more of that!

When I was an undergrad in the 90s, a West Mall preacher, invited by a student group, straight up said I had no soul. And I remember the Young Conservatives throwing tortillas at a Mexican student organization as a "protest". The take away for me was some speech is bad and should be ignored.

Screenshot. Gay man calls LGBTQIA bookshop in crisis. Customers all talk to him and say they've felt the same way at some point in their lives.

You are never alone in your experience of suffering. This story resonates deeply for me. I hope it does for others reading it.

So today I learned about Girl Scout Troop 6000, a Girl Scout troop entirely of girls living in NYC homeless shelters.

I also learned that you can buy all your Girl Scout cookies directly from them on-line.

Which I just did.

And, if anyone else wishes to, can be done here:
