looks like I'm gonna keep thinking "sure is a shame that the Crooks boy missed" every so often for a while yet

one of my more inscrutable opinions is that I genuinely think that if you get a tattoo, you should have to submit a form to like the National Endowment for the Arts, explaining how this new tattoo matches your ongoing Tattoo Motif

thinking about that cartoon Scavenger's Reign, specifically that guy that got hypnotized into being a thug for that koala. Don't recall they ever showed him actually hauling back and throwing when he was nailing those squirrels with rocks. Wonder if he pitched in college, he sure had an arm on him

got red food dye splatter all over my pants

spilled lemon-lime flavor concentrate all over my right hand

Just had to pay a guy 132 in a parking lot so I didnt get a rental car towed. Gave him 140 (cash only, of course) and got 18 in change

Skimmed past this and mistook Ross Douthat and instead thought it was Rod Dreyer; which wouldn't be better, per se, but would probably make for more interesting television

Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.

Eating like a Very Fancy Lad (3-course meal at the diner in some Pilot in PA)

if "behaving like an absolute tool" is something you'd consider a bannable offense then might I suggest you put your money where your mouth is and delete your account

I’m open minded on real names. We should definitely ban “cartoon avatar coupled with cutesy or “funny” name and behaves like an absolute tool” though.

Suppose some of you saw the Cheetos Ingredients post and wondered "well how do they turn that stuff into Cheetos anyway?" Food Tech Today has a pretty good video about it. The specific equipment you're probably most interested is the flash extruder at 7:40 or so

hearing reports that the Strait will be open if you can answer three riddles. Negotiations for who's responsible for asking each riddle are still ongoing though

"what if the President gets heat stroke", I whisper to myself. Daring to hope

Trump: “I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’ having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, DONALD J. TRUMP”

thinking about how Phillip II of Macedon died. Sure would be nice

looks like Colossal is doing another round of funding for their scam

Rolling Stone@rollingstone.com · 4mo ago

The science start-up Colossal is making sci-fi real! After resurrecting the dire wolf in 2025 using 72k-year-old DNA, they're eyeing the woolly mammoth for 2028. The goal: "rewilding" to restore and stabilize modern ecosystems. Read: bit.ly/4tIXAqo

Still thinking about carrying a brick around to throw into car windshields. Do not appreciate people rolling through crosswalks paying their attention to their phones

Tagging along with our Food Safety person to an ice cream bar plant with some concerning swab results. Still gonna grab a little treat from the complementary cooler by the door though

Better than 900 bucks of work on the car's AC, but the 10-year extended warranty runs out in April, so squeaking in right at the end of the coverage period here. Whew

imagine being the one who taunts him and he gets so mad he has an aneurysm and dies. I bet that would feel really good

do not like climbing out of the basket of a scissor lift to monkey around in a piperack. Do not like heights at all. Would've been paralyzed with fear if it wasn't for the harness

Tantalus

pondering about the Sort Of Thing that would make me perfectly content with adding Trump's name to the Kennedy Memorial Center

My best friend is getting married tomorrow and I'm staying over at his parent's house and we've done in three (four?) bottles of champagne and his mom is like "oh can you disassemble this table and take the parts to the garage" and I'm like "...ok"

WE ARE BORG. YOUR BIOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL DISTINCTIVENESS WILL BE ADDED TO OUR POLYCULE. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

🚨 BREAKING - New Star Trek: #StarfleetAcademy Poster! The first season of the new #StarTrek live-action series premieres January 15th on Paramount+ 🖖 Will YOU be watching?

yeah okay we put the wrong safety relief valve on the steam line and have to fuck around with it before we hand it over. Sorry to the guys coming in tomorrow to work, you're not gonna have that steam to use

NORMAL GERMS: We're going to try real hard and evolve some drug resistances RFK JR'S GERMS: We're going to reprogram our host to undermine the entire project of medicine

A door is guarded by two AI agents. One is programmed to always deliver a response statistically likely to be true; the other is programmed to deliver a response statistically likely to be false. You can ask one question; how do you tell which one is which?

imaging a movie. A guy named "James Bond" (no relation) gets caught up in some big spy fight by accident because some goons thought he was a spy, and he just kinda muddles through and beats up some spies. Then MI6 is like "dang this guy has talent, we should hire him" and they make him the new 007

"Victaulic to Triclamp fitting adapter" yeah that's probably the silliest thing I've seen in a week

ADMIRALABLE: this MFer said Warfrighter COMMANDON'T: lol warfrighter (GENERAL DISORDER changed the name of the Groupchat to WARFRIGHTER) CHAIRFORCEMAN: ok but seriously what is this speech about GENERAL DISORDER: hear me out (GENERAL DISORDER changed the name of the Groupchat to 25TH AMENDMENT)
