Well what do you expect from the "two Corinthians" administration?

What did Swalwell think was going to happen? If Trump can get away with be an elected rapist then I can too?

Curling combines the excitement of vigorous sweeping with the majestic beauty of incoherent yelling.

Not sure why Anthropic chose Kurt Vonnegut's drawing of an asshole for the Claude app icon. Maybe they should have asked the AI for some alternatives.

It's the 16th annual Ed McMahon Memorial Christmas Eve Shopping Bacchanalia. There's gifts, drinking, merriment, and heavy tipping!

Oh good, Glenn Beck has created an AI George Washington. You will be shocked to learn that the AI George Washington created by Glenn Beck sounds exactly like what would happen if Glenn Beck built an AI George Washington to sound exactly like Glenn Beck.

We have put the biggest idiots on the planet in charge of our country. I actually drove a 70s station wagon (during the 70s!) and there's no reason for that 12 mpg vehicle to exist today. He might as well be suggesting we all return to the great old days when everyone drove a Model T.

An entire nation turns and looks at Cheryl Hines.

So he's admitting that they're blowing up boats without knowing who's on the boat? We might be blowing up fishing boats, who knows? That's the official position of the United States. (Also "water fishing”? What a moron.)

How are there shell casings? He fired one shot and a bolt action doesn't eject the casing.

Ain't no hagiography like republican hagiography.

This will certainly help to calm down our heated political climate and looming police state.

At this point I don't know how I can possibly watch Paramount/CBS less than I am now but by God I'm going to find a way!
