"Olympic sized swimming pool" as a volume reference drives me nuts. Everyone assumes everyone else knows how much that is, but nobody does. The engineers that design huge pools know, but they'd rather you use gallons like an adult who doesn't make absurd comparisons.

“It’s honestly embarrassing how people didn’t know the thing I actively refused to tell them about despite my knowing it.”

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

What a wonderful time to be alive.

Proposing a private equity version of Habitat for Humanity. Because of course.

"Bombshell" makes no sense as a metaphor. It's like saying "bullet casing", "cannon barrel", "sword handle", "rocket fin", "torpedo propeller". You mean "explosive", but refer to a specific component of an explody thing. We are better than this.

These people combine the competence of a concussed ferret with the ethics of a rabid one.

nothing condemns Our Times more than the fact we appear to have *mostly democratically* elevated to power some of the most stupid assholes who have ever lived. something is wrong with a country and system that ferrets out its most undisputedly horrible citizens and then gives them nuclear codes

The Bear On The Stair protects your house from Elf infestations by putting them in jail. It never moves, doesn't creepilly spy on your kids, and randomly gives treats to good kids.

Been saying this about farmers for many years. I grew up on a farm in the 80's, when they were actually poor. The families that made it are now land-baron welfare kings cosplaying as poor. Their greed is THE reason why rural America is a so shitty now. youtu.be/c1AChckVmFg?...

Two things I wish I learned 20 years ago: Pesto and KT tape fix everything.

I'm choosing to believe he removed his helmet, mounted it on his fist (with flare and gusto), and connected with a heavy right hook. Troy Aikman: "that's not his job, the problem is he's not doing his job and it's hurting the team"

I feel for that guy. I really do. Because in another life Pete would’ve been on the wrong end of a sock full of soap bars and they’d have sorted him out proper. But now he’s the boss. Given a mantle by an even fatter man. Who deliberately avoided enlistment. And that’s how a lifetime of service ends

Wow. I don't recall being banned from any online place before. I guess this is a sign of the times. They've fully embraced "cancel culture" after a decade of cry-bullying about it.

Blindspot for the right? Because it might give hope to incels?

One of my college jobs was tech support for computer labs. I had after hours access to our NT machines and pinball a lot. Now I can pretend to be a frame rate hipster. "meh 120fps on doom is fine but nothing will ever top pinball at 5k while drinking Surge"

Telemental health? You mean cyberpsych?

Computer was born to help us create and learn and allowing men from hell to make it make us stupider and angrier without severe physical consequence is one of our greatest failures

Smart rock is sad to have to do the things smart rock is made to do

1000lbs is like half a pallet. This story is only interesting if the vehicle involved is a Miata.

There's a clear Schwann's truck delivery to fascist pipeline. First you start with the mozzarella sticks then a decade later your freezer is packed with a year's supply of fried food. It's backed up by a generator and protected by the 2nd amendment. Don't tread on my chicken tendies.

Thinking back...it's damn impressive that the World Wildlife Foundation took the title from these guys.

Some day a compelling story about an actual bomb shell will happen and it will be universally ignored as clickbait.
