Minus one for that media player. Lack of controls is really irritating. I don’t care to be forced into vertical videos, either—despite what some puppets think.

His “Ahm just a simple country fella asking questions” bit is so tired. Dude went to Vanderbilt, then was magna cum laude at U Virginia Law, THEN got another law degree with honors at Oxford. In the 2000s he ran for Senate as a Democrat, then switched to Republican.

Jackass.

Is this the “I was only driving the getaway car” defense?

This almost made me spit out my breakfast from laughing. Back in the early 2000s, one of my students discovered He-Man and found Fisto to be the most hilariously unintentional—maybe—double entendre in the history of the universe. He was a drummer, and went on to name his bass drum pedal Fisto.

Checkmate, chess players!

Hm…I seem to recall Abbott saying that if the abortion ban passed, “Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets.”

SCOTUS is going to have to weigh in real quick if they don’t just stay out of the whole thing.

OP’s (hopefully) sarcastic username checks out.

My dad and I had the misfortune of driving behind a truck that apparently had a load of dead cows headed for the rendering plant. No place to pass on the highway for a few miles and it was summer. Horrible.

I swear it wasn’t me. Unless it’s really good. If it’s beloved, then it definitely was me.

Leave out the fragrance for sensitive skin.

I’m guessing that because there are always some amount of stars visible, the number would have to be above zero, but maybe as you get a certain distance away from closer stars, the darkness kind of “evens out”?

For 9 months, he’ll claim he doesn’t have them and also that he had the right to take them, even though they don’t exist (and also he shows them to folks at the resort).

In a year, he’ll claim he has been too busy to figure out which boxes the relics are stored in and needs time to separate out his golf shirts and newspaper clippings from among the relics, and also he doesn’t have them and has them and had every right to take them, and also Bibi begged him to take the relics as a gift to America.

What’s with that last bit? It’s completely the opposite.

Prosecutors are the ones petitioning the judge to review the attorney’s conflict of interest.

We’ll just see about that.

I loved my Pebble watch so much! I actually still have it, but finally gave it up when they stopped supporting it. I still have it, in my curio case.

I love mine. I had a Pebble, which I also loved, but the Apple Watch merges pretty seamlessly with the rest of my Apple stuff, and has extra features my Pebble doesn’t. I think they should either pay a usage fee to Masimo, or change their software. They’ve wasted enough money and time fighting it.

The former custodian at one of my schools—she resigned because she wouldn’t get vaccinated—had a giant IVERMECTIN graphic on the sides of her car.

chip roy is an asshole. He worked for john cornyn and rafael “ted” cruz, and ghost wrote rick perry’s book. He’s a “burn it all down” republican (nearly libertarian), with a I Got Mine, Screw You position.

and Fake. Eyebrows.

I, for one, welcome our new wriggly overlords!

Was, but turned weirdly weirdo.

And that’s not to mention that the majority of drugs come in through legal ports of entry.

Iowa republican caucus voters were polled and 30% said they wouldn’t vote for trump if he is convicted. Of course, the election is months away, so too many of them will surely backslide, but still. It was a higher percentage in New Hampshire, too.

Get your ass to Mars!

So hard to say if they will

  1. Rule that only trump has absolute immunity

  2. Rule that all presidents have absolute immunity

  3. Rule that trump had absolute immunity, but no other president has it starting…now!

Undermine democracy?! Gtfo with that bullshit.

Could be. My tines are ever dangling.

I like many concepts of Anarchy, but until we have Star Trek levels of free unlimited power and food, I don’t think it would work.

Hyperbolic headline. His speeches “aren't demanding the world's attention like they used to.”

I dreamed this several weeks ago:

I was with a couple of people on the street near some parked cars when all of a sudden this comically large, brown and white patched moose kind of…appeared in front of us. My 6-year-old daughter also appeared right next to me, saw the moose, and uttered—in her little girl voice—“God DAMN!”

I woke up laughing my butt off.

I don’t know about rot, but if he’s guilty he should pay the appropriate penalty, be it a fine, a prison sentence, or both.

🎵Call Mr. Plow

That’s my name

That name again is

Mr. Plow!🎵

If it cuts down the Reply to All good job chains, I’m for it.

I used rebble for quite a while—super kudos to those folks—but eventually gave it up. The battery life was finally showing signs of loss and my wife had already made the switch to Apple Watch when her Pebble died.

I’m kind of surprised rebble was allowed to continue this long after FitBit bought then killed Pebble. I know they said rebble could exist, but IIRC, there was some hinting it wouldn’t be for too much longer. Glad they either forgot about it or just let it be.

Excellent news. One bugaboo for me with a type of statistic lots of outlets use. That is, saying the new wind system will have the effect of taking 60,000 cars off the road over 25 years. They could say it would counter the emissions of over 3,000 cars every year.

Seems like I should be able to buy my own medical debt for pennies on the dollar.

Aquaphor is sold in the Baby Supplies aisle of drug stores and bigger grocery stores. It’s been great for alleviating diaper rash with my kids.

He’s an Adonis!
