Some old mainframe "operating systems" from Control Data Corporation (NOS, NOS/BE) used "catalog" as Linux uses "ls". Kind of. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, and CDC was from vcxdthbbcddhresdty.

Having a Slinger, which is hash browns under two hamburgers under four (?) eggs under roughly two gallons of chili. Fifteen bucks. I am the Anthony Bourdain of slop and you cannot stop me.
Fixed it.
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
Anna's Archive, matey
That would be liberal bias
We bring back so much stuff, why not Art Deco? I've wanted an art deco PC case for decades. Is it really so much to ask? Come on.
Why is Ben Grimm clothed? Traditionally he wears only a Speedo.
Got Milk?
My drinking days are long over, but I could have used one like that to hold myself up during a bout of very early morning regurgitation.
Can’t stop thinking about my neighbor’s garage door
Yes. Except the media HAMMERED Biden about it from 2022 until early this year. Daily articles and analysis in all national outlets. One just might suspect that the oligarch owned media found an issue and mercilessly exploited it. Where were all the Trump's Age Problem article after June 2024?
Wow, it’s so weird how no one talks about this anymore. It’s almost as if inflation wasn’t THE issue, it was just useful…aw but that couldn’t be, in this nation of liberal media and bias!
Where does he keep the Flubber? Is that a Flubber gun?
Why had I never heard these... rumors about Senator Ernst before? Aren't they disqualifying?
He's horrible. Not even a good arguer.
I hereby declare this to be Keep Bluesky Weird Weekend. Please tell me how you are going to do your part to Keep Bluesky Weird over the next three days.
i assume he was quietly transferred to another server
My brother sent me this
I'd almost rather lose it than have it overseen by some knuckle dragging MAGA commissar. Have you looked at "Conservapedia"? Worse than useless.
Best laugh of the evening! Thank you!
Is he wearing orange makeup?
I'll bet he's scared. What are they going to do, interrupt him and take back their time? Even giving him a wedgie would be an improvement. Impeach him!
At least somebody’s doing the work of defunding the Police.
Full goblin mode. Full court press.
If you’re the side of: - capital interests - wealth as an indicator of virtue/the value of one’s societal contributions - free markets - “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help’” …you’re fucked. COVID just exposed you entirely.
The COVID-19 pandemic undermined the right in several key ways: 1) It showed us which workers are essential and empowered them. 2) It showed that the markets can’t solve everything. 2) It threatened GOP political prospects in a critical election. 4) Government relief proved popular and effective
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Point Break is the best Patrick Swayze movie, but I'm still going to read this book.
Isn’t Cracker Barrel’s real problem that they serve bad food?
Its wild to say this in 2025, but the senate and scotus are full of royalists. Wild to realize that it took almost three hundred years for us to properly lose the revolutionary war.
This quote needs to end up in a million Democratic campaign ads
This "school" won't even last 2 years. We'll hear about it again when there's a gigantic scandal, either industrial scale bullying, or embarrassingly low SAT scores.
my favorite uncle told me about the changes to the NASA logo over the years at christmas and now whenever i see one i whisper aloud to myself, "ah, the worm" or "ah, the meatball"
I've come to the conclusion that movement conservative leaders, at least at the national level, were lying about their devotion to markets and small government and low taxes and capitalism. They saw Reagan's rhetoric working, and decided to employ it to re-segregate.
"North Korea" is trending, but I am afraid to click for fear that Snoop Dogg is building a Cracker Barrel there.
Has Accelerator Boy finally revealed he s secret identity?
Just said "RFK Jr. Fires Piss Czar" on CNN.

Elon himself coming on and talking bullshit. "Basically 30 minutes to anywhere" via rocket. Where will the landing pad for NYC be? Well offshore, for safety reasons, and noise mitigation. That's several hours to debark, get on a boat, sail to shore. No better, but vastly more dangerous than flying.
Completely insane.
Regurgitate the average of solutions to coding problems found on the web, the quality of which is known to... vary considerably.
That *is* personal liberty and freedom. Oligarch Bezos did not specify who that person is. You should have understood it as His Bezosness himself.
if a democratic president decided to unilaterally threaten to put every high net worth exurb with disproportionate rates of DUI and domestic violence complaints under federal occupation at gunpoint, i don't think the press would have anywhere near as difficult a time calling it what it is

Whattayaknow! There's been a new dullard since 2020! I'm surprised the strip hasn't gone full anti-vaxx.
Pronouncing Josh like Sean Connery telling you his favorite shark movie
I checked in on "Mallard Fillmore", a newspaper comic strip meant to appeal to conservatives. I wondered if it had gone Full MAGA, or stuck to movement conservative Sacred Principles. It's not MAGA, but not pointing out how conservatives have done a 180 on the Sacred Principles, either. Still crap.
Windows. The kind Microsoft foists on us.
This is outrageous Sumerian erasure!
the roman empire would have loved vaping
Yeah, but they started with Bolton. You do have to hand it to them for that.
And mostly names of bones! Still, before we get too excited about "PhD-level", we should get ourselves some models capable of solving @janelleshane.com 's kindergarten-level tests
“as president, i will never let cracker barrel change its logo. i will make sony put a narrower chin on aloy. mermaids will remain white.” the audience breaks into riotous cheers. jake tapper cries in joy
The QAA podcast on Candace Owens is so good I’m crying www.patreon.com/posts/becomi...
Your boss and owner, Oligarch Bezos, likes Trump, made you and your coworkers help Trump win, and wants Trump to rule us like a king. Hang your heads in shame. Retire to a life of quiet penitence for this.
OKAY good morning everyone, let's talk about the ostensible katydid testicles on display here and their horrifying evolution
Mamdani, a guy who holds no office and has zero scandals, has gotten more scrutiny than the guy tearing up the Constitution every day in the White House.
You k ow who doesn’t have to worry about political retribution? Merrick Garland. But, then again, no one would have had to worry about political retribution had Merrick Garland done his job.
winging its way to me soon. my shitty photoshop is part of the charm imo
Serioisly tho if somebody handed me a bag of sour cream and onion chips, but it was actually money, I'd be at least temporarily disappointed.
Here, fixed it.
I saw Jesus in the parking lot of the Cracker Barrel and he said he didn’t know you
I totally enjoy your cover pics, please don't get me wrong! I just think the 80s GI Joe stuff was extra ironic.
Worth every penny!
Magnus Robot Fighter! Cool!
What about the demands to hand count all ballots the day of the election? All the studies I can find say hand counting is slower and less accurate than machine tabulation.
Some incredibly good news: One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print. In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast. In short, it’s working. So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
But he's a jobs creator
Are all our oligarchs absolute boneheads? How embarrassing for us that they succeeded at becoming billionaires.

Shocking! Military occupation bad for business, who would have thought!?! How about saying "Trump lies" and quit being so credulous about what conservatives say?
have never clicked a headline so fast www.nature.com/articles/d41...
FREE COLLIER
I'm with you, and I'm never letting that go. It was either a lie before Trump, or conservatism is a lie now, or maybe both.
The Trump presidency has put the lie to all the conservative movement’s professed love of America, freedom, liberty, free speech, etc. All of that shit is a lie. And we should never let them forget it.
In science and math before WW2, Germany had a lot of intellectual gravitas. Hilbert, Noordung, many others.
Apparently some people over here don't know that I'm posting almost daily on Substack. It's free 6 days a week, with only the Sunday primers (which are very labor-intensive) paywalled. According to the U.S. politics bestseller list, this venture is going pretty well
In the late 90s? Google went public in 2004. I dunno, maybe time travel ruined Google.
That's good! Any "your mom" jokes?
I laughed at another potential juror's answer one time I was called for jury duty. Still ended up on the jury.
That might work, except Rubio is beyond shame. He's had his soul surgically removed.
The only difference between our reality and a Philip K Dick novel is the characters in a Philip K Dick novel don't choose to live like this
What doesn't Sam Altman say? Dozens of articles every day quoting him on every possible topic.
What in tarnation? An AI claims that "straightedge" and "slide rule" are the same. Straightedge and slide rule are semantically related in tool for measuring or calculating length topic. In some cases you can use "Straightedge" instead a noun phrase "Slide rule". thesaurus.plus/related/slid...
Was the old paper tabloid Onion this harsh? I remember it being more of a poke fun at beloved windbags sort of rag. Not that it's current incarnation doesn't bring me laughter and joy...
It turns out the militias who were super concerned about "government tyranny" are now on the side of the government tyranny. Interesting.

I've stopped my donations to CPR and KUNC because of NPR's hard Trumpist turn. I made sure they both knew why.
I, for one, hope sandwich guy’s case makes it to the Supreme Court where there will be a heated back and forth over a hypothetical use of a hot dog as a weapon and Alito loses his shit because a hot dog is “NOT a sandwich.”
Jordan Peterson taking temporary leave from public life after undergoing a surgical procedure that removes "nearly a mile" of lustrous blonde hair from his abdominal cavity. "The world bequeathed me a horrible freight," he said through a family spokesperson, who added that Peterson "was crying."
