This might have something to do with that ai slop the orange pustule posted of him nuking the planet from a spaceship. Or it could have just been a random synaptic explosion.

My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Taylor Swift's "Life of a Showgirl" outfit was originally created by Bob Mackie for ah who am I kidding.
Fuck that $5,000 bullshit: I'm now expecting the Natalie Harp Memorial Slavish Devotion Bonus™, 'cause he loves me.
I tell you what, gonna send a strong letter to John Fetterman's stroke.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Ft. Ross was established in what is at present CA's Sonoma County, and today its multi-ethnic nature would have it atop the list of towns to terrorize. They're eating the cats! They're eating the dogs! Rootless cosmopolitans!
The first screenshot shows conditions here in Honolulu at 6pm, the second one conditions in Lihue on Kauai, which along with Ni'ihau is set to get clobbered overnight and into Tuesday. Humidity here has gone up about 3 points the past hour, and the winds are shifting.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: The US Open was the first yella ball Grand Slam event, courtesy of David Attenborough.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: J. Peterman, made famous by that show about making Steve Bannon rich.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: The most excellent Eleanor Roosevelt wrote a column for Ladies Home Journal.
The Democrats attacking Hasan Piker in order to torpedo Abdul El-Sayed's senate run are among the best ever exemplars of @schwarz.bsky.social's Iron Law of Institutions.
A whistleblower says USPS has been violating court orders for months in pursuit of a program that could disenfranchise tens of millions of people and the NY Times places it way down the page in favor of the bond market's upset tummy. Money talks, a plot to kill democracy walks.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: "Sinkin' in the Bathtub" was the first Looney Tunes short. Looney Tunes was the ultimately successful Warner Bros challenge to Disney's Silly Symphonies. Also a predictor of the modern political era, although not so much as The Simpsons.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Loony Tunes' Dr. Lorre is a damn near photorealistic rendition of Peter Lorre, a fine actor and lovely human being.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Peter Cullen emulated his older brother to do the voice of Optimus Prime. Don't know who the inspiration for Eeyore was.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Svante Arrhenius was the first to tie fossil fuel combustion to atmospheric warming but he built on a lot of other people's work. There's a follow-on to his theories in a 1912 story in Popular Mechanics about the impact of burning coal on the climate
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: The tiny leaf sheep won The Guardian's Invertebrate of the Year competition but only because the entire US federal legislature members were arbitrarily and unfairly disqualified.
Our stupid and cruel health care "system," as viewed through the lens of yr. genial host, plus the *only* good reason for a Kushner-Jeffries confab, plus some music. The Bad Crow Review is at least temporarily back from a loooooong hiatus.
Was Jared Kushner Pulling A Fredo? Plus,
I need a 12-inch both-sideser on this tariffs thing, stat! Plus music

My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Nobody knows how many Olympic gold medals Usain Bolt won. Couldn't slow him down enough to count.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Ryan Leaf go "poof!"
Not enough people are asking why, after years of disputing figures released by Gaza's health ministry, the Israelis now accept the ministry's confirmed death toll from the genocide. The obvious answer is that they know the actual death toll is far, far higher than what has been directly confirmed.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Ilie "Nasty" Năstase was the first computer-ranked men's number one player. There have been 312 number one players since then, most of whom were Roger Federer.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Mercury and Venus don't have moons so they can't have solar eclipses, yet they're considered full-fledged planets while Pluto, which has five moons, isn't. It's political correctness gone mad.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Milk transfusions really sound more like something that could take off today than something that was tried and discarded 150-plus years ago. Raw milk especially.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Death Valley is the site of the highest air temperature ever recorded, at 130-plus degrees fahrenheit. Been there! Done that! Although it was only in the high 100-and-teens when I was there.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" was a compelling advertisement for Teddy Roosevelt's Meat Meat the Miracle Eat and the Pure Food and Drug Act.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: AMAZING FANTASY #15. Now approaching retirement age in an era when all the worst crooks have Secret Service protection, a disillusioned Spiderman spends his days drinking down at the American Legion hall.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: All I know about Ariana Grande is that she licked donuts, put them back and then shaded donut lovers—both gross but many of us grew up when cameras weighed a ton and weren't surreptitious so the gross teen stuff we did wasn't immortalized.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: The Navy uses dolphins as security near the Kitsap naval base, which is, if you'll excuse the descriptor, absolutely, grotesquely fucked up.
My answer to the @MuckRack Daily trivia question: I'm probably late with this but I actually knew it: The entertainment at the 1966 New York Society for Clinical Psychiatry dinner was, absolutely hilariously, Velvet Underground.
