This feels like a Steve Martin gag from a movie from 1983

There’s a guy on TikTok who posts just him taking a pizza out of the oven every day with tongs and all of the comments are about how their day is ruined from having watched this

@adamconover.net and i are texting each other just saying "holy shit" or things of that nature a lot lately and it's always about like, did you see g'kar just put on a hat in front of a picture of daffy duck

Monsters? Sirens? Going to need the Cavs to become the Cleveland Cryptids to fit the theme (let's say the Guardians of Traffic come alive at night and walk around). Love this.

The entire suite of Cleveland Sirens logos.

Okay, last one

is there some future competitive advantage with college admissions if you deafened your child to Ludwig Göransson

I love Star Trek

I see a lot of you talking about "dopamine" and I wish you'd go back to talking about your astrological signs because at least then you wouldn't be confusing yourself about a real thing

A niche annoyance re NASA histories from the late 1970s is that bc of a brief flirtation w the metric system you have books that represent neither the documentation or thoughts of the ppl doing the work in the past, nor the frame of reference of the ppl reading the books in the present or future

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Recurring stress dreams for the modern age: Autocorrect keeps fucking up the thing you're trying to type, and you go to fix it but it gets fucked up in a different way, on and on

Olive oil and salt, low and slow in the oven for a couple hours, then into the freezer to be used later. You cannot defeat me, inconvenient tomato plant

My tomato plant: Hey I'm growing all these tomatoes for you 🙂 Me: Thank you Tomato plant: And I was thinking they could all could ripen at the same time 🙂 Me: Well... Plant: And it could be two days before you're about to leave for a week 😀 Me: Plant: And also no one's eating salads 😇

Don't quote me on this in like 10 years but I think one of the defining issues of the 2020s is "a better world is actually very easy to achieve, the powers that be are just not interested in achieving it."

The DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.

I say we let him go.

No one in the history of Star Trek has ever acted as hard as this guy. I heard he won a special Emmy for mouth acting

Made cheddar and green onion cornbread to go with it that smells great and looks great but doesn't really have a lot of flavor. Oh well.

How likely do we think it is that Michael Westmore was thinking about the giant monster in Prince of Space when he created the Ferengi?

Car ad. "SUV" floats in a void, the U and V slowly combine into a W until it says: "SW" ✨ Station Wagon ✨ Hundreds of millions of people go wild at the announcement of the end of the SUV and the return of the station wagon. A national catharsis is upon us, we rejoice

I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.

The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

IMPACT: that company that was offering to buy books for AI companies’ training data — and probably destroy them in the process — says it will no longer offer this service following 404 Media’s exposure of it www.404media.co/ai-company-t...

Company Offering Printed Books to Train AI Stops After 404 Media Coverage

Citing backlash, ISBNdb removed its webpages about training AI, denied ever buying, scanning, or selling a book for AI training, and said the site was a "test of market interest."

How did two* custom wheel covers for a General Motors Futurliner, only 12 of which were ever built, end up at an industrial reuse/antique shop in Akron Ohio for $25 each? *I have one, and I've talked to someone who bought the other

What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story
