I misread that as "cat milk lattes" (I definitely need new glasses), and dang was I confused.

Oh, that's been going on for nearly a decade (at least).

Apparently it came from a journalist's mishearing of the phrase "squeeze your bum time", referring to clenching one's buttocks in a precarious situation. (I am indebted to Wiktionary for this explanation.)

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Did she mention anything about giving the targeted individuals time to comply, or are they permitted to deploy the tear gas (or whatever) immediately once the second warning has been given?

Very Death-Starry, but far too many safety railings.

And, perhaps more literally in this case, "Du kannst nicht mit den Nazis ins Bett gehen ohne ein Nazi zu werden." ("You can't get in bed with Nazis without becoming a Nazi.")

A purported human wrote that? Ordinarily I would have seen the URL, assumed from the TLD that it was just AI slop, and moved on without clicking on it.

Don't know why realizing what he'd just said would cause him to clam up; apart from the use of a different synonym, his statement was nothing that the Trump camp hasn't already brazenly and repeatedly claimed.

Funny how whenever Republican lawmakers are confronted with something indefensible Trump has said or posted, they've somehow managed to be blissfully unaware of it, so they couldn't possibly comment.

Looks like it peaked in 2012.

My first was an Apple ][.

Shortly after it joined our household, my mother's go-to punishment became taking the power cord to work with her so I couldn't use it. So I cut off the end of an extension cord and fashioned a (probably dangerous) replacement, to use it after school before she got home.

A sequence of three screencaps from the original "Star Trek" television show.

Panel 1: Dr. McCoy asks, "Is that a Vulcan tattoo, Jim?"

Panel 2: Captain Kirk, shown with his shirt off, replies, "Yes, Bones. It means 'leadership,' because of my dedication to the crew"

Panel 3: Mr. Spock informs Dr. McCoy that "The Captain's shoulder says 'plomeek soup' "

Honestly I found this so amusing that I think I'm actually going to get it myself.

Although there are a few videos out there where people sing Gene Roddenberry's lyrics to the original Star Trek theme music, and several where it's sung (without lyrics) as an a cappella arrangement, I couldn't find any that did both. So I made one.

That's exactly why mine's titled "Lord Swiffington".

As long as the fascism isn't succeeded by another administration that punks out with "Look forward, not back" instead of holding anyone accountable.

Look at something directly in front of you and cross your eyes. You'll see two of the thing; while keeping your eyes crossed, look at one of them. If you chose to look at the one on the left, your left eye will be looking straight ahead, while the right eye is crossed.

1) To replace the Dems who are just standing idly by as our nation is systematically dismantled, with Dems willing to fight for democracy. 2) No. If the primary is successful, the winner runs against Reps/3rd parties in the general election. 3) If there aren't, it's not much of a primary. 4) See #1.
