For decades, I've wondered why we needed such a large military, and it turned out the answer was "to do illegal and/or non-military, uh, stuff."
Protecting norms includes continuing to talk about silly stuff while being acutely aware that the world is on fire.

Oh yeah, remember when Disney tried to make all its Imagineers move from California to Florida. That went really well. And that one actually kind of made sense on the surface. Now multiply that times 1000.
Also, one of the episodes was literally fan fiction and it was one of my favorites.
I dunno, there are some pretty amazing episodes towards the end. Just like Community... quality dipped slightly for a bit, but still finished strong. The finale is near perfect for me, but YMMV.
What is this "Here's what to know" nonsense? Anytime they post a completely non-news story, they end it with this lazy phrase. There's literally nothing to know. Or in this case, even if you care, it's a yes or no answer.
Yup, there's one near me in AZ right between a multiplex theater and a comic book shop at one of those outdoor malls. There's always SOMEONE in it when I walk by, but usually just one family, and the space is huge.
3/3... The hotel was designed with a small window from the shower into the main room and I had left the bathroom light on. And then when they realized that was a weird design idea, they hung a painting over it.
2/3 But last month, I was in a hotel where a painting on the wall was glowing, and that was wild. (Again... not really this bright to the naked eye, but noticable.) Turns out...
1/3 So, the TV in my hotel room doesn't actually turn off. The remote just makes the box (or whatever is presumably behind the TV) generate a black signal. This is a long exposure picture... It's not actually this bright, but it's noticable. (I don't know what the white bars are.)
I hope none of you need this info.
Honestly, this might be better than Meow Wolf... Anyone know the story on this?
I had to go back and reread it to see if they were trying to explain the woman who was in his car, but nope. It's just an unrelated incident that likely never happened.
"Before the incident, he had a ham on rye, with an extra pickle." "Before the incident, he attended a matinee performance of Pal Joey." "Before the incident, he ..." Lots of things probably happened before the incident, why tell us of a random thing that likely never happened anyway?
It's not just a millennial thing. Gen Xer here who was vice-president of Teen-Age Republicans and spent a half hour with Lee Atwater in 1989... Five years later I was yelling at Newt Gingrich on TV with my bisexual girlfriend. This hard swing to the right is going cause a harder swing to the left
I wasn't sure I was vibing with the first episode of season 2 and everyone online was just talking about how random the orgy scene was. But I feel like they paid it off emotionally and explained it logically in ep 2. Once they were just hanging out on the roof, I was back in.
The closest I ever came to walking out of a theater was "The Mexican", but I just went to the bathroom and wandered around the halls looking at posters for 10 minutes before I went back in.
Counterpoint: New York is the most tolerant place on earth, because no one ever threw battery acid in his face at a restaurant.
GOD: time to institute IBS! CHUBBY QUIET ANGEL: what’s that? GOD: irritable bowl syndrome ANGEL: omg that sounds horrible GOD: it is! ANGEL: well I was thinking maybe we could skip that one for now, you know what with the news cycle being… GOD: give it to one billion people ANGEL: okay wow
Training from who?
Ben was referring to USA Today. Although, maybe same answer after seeing this?
Finding bought-out politicians in the halls of Congress..
These kids are 10, the shooter is 20. When the shooter was 10, that orange monster was coming down that escalator to activate him.
Burn this godforsaken country to the ground and salt the earth.
Or, another view is that one day is too many, you absolute potato.
Pretending not to hear the whole room chanting “shame” at her is the most Susan Collins things ever
Keep covering that hand, it's not happening if you cover it...
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
This is a thing you can do for fun.
What do YOU think? Sound off in the comments!
Lock the doors and set it on fire.
"What to know?" "WHAT TO KNOW?" Even if sunk my life savings into Cracker Barrel 4 days ago, this would be maybe the 17th most essential news story to me today.
Of course I like him, he's one of my best clients!
2/2 And then when I became a fan in the late 2000s and familiarized myself with your discography, I realized I hadn't worked in a CD store since spring of 2000. So, that's weird.
1/2 I don't know if this qualifies as a Mandella Effect thing, especially since it's just for me, but I have this memory of looking at the cover of Twin Cinema repeatedly as I stocked/inventoried CDs and it being my first exposure to the band even though I didn't listen to it at the time.
Is there some kind of Nazi dog whistle in the old Cracker Barrel logo that I'm not a shitty enough person to know about? Don't get me wrong, I think we can all agree the logo is worse. But I'm not sure why lazy graphic design is specifically offensive to MAGA, considering they also suck at design.
I did the exact same thing this afternoon. Pretty sure I missed the window for the "original story" on my drive home from work.
Oh, oops
I've never graffitied anything in my life but this headline makes me want to buy a plane ticket and a case of Krylon.
These headlines are making me kind of glad you're getting defunded. I can picture the pledge breaks: "Editing out bootlicking costs money, please give today."
This is nearly every job I ever had.
The fact that Zelenskyy hasn't taken a swing at either of these piles of shit makes him the classiest man on earth.
Ok, so we reached the radioactive Walmart shrimp stage of deregulation a little quicker than expected.
Somehow, "Recker Rd" makes it worse.
"Look, if we're gonna open a ghost kitchen, we need a name that really makes people's mouths water..."
While I've enjoyed doing my ballot at home most of my adult life, (it's especially great for confusing propositions), I'm perfectly capable of standing in line on election Day. Removing mail in ballots would affect extreme rural and senior voters the most and help flip AZ from purple to blue.
Maybe that's why they formed that Devo 2.0 thing. They probably thought they needed to pass the torch to continue the message, and then they realized things were decaying fast enough they could live to see the end. (RIP Bob 2)
Kinda fitting that the Devo documentary is getting a wide release right now as we reach the final stage of de-evolution. 50 years ago, they probably didn't think they'd actually get to see the final collapse.
Walking so bravely with an escort down a deserted street. Probably for about 60 seconds, before they get their ass beat by a mid sized ladies book club.
So let me get this straight, the Ghostbusters were depending on 100% electrical grid reliability? No backup generator?
What happened to White Hat Hackers? Did they all switch to For Profit hacking? Seems like we should be hearing about digital monkey wrenches left and right.
Was in a rural AZ restaurant last week and we both froze for a few seconds as several ridiculously militarized officers approached the door. "Oh, it's ok, they're detention officers." I mean, ACAB, but NACACPOS, I guess.
Hershey's makes Ice cream? Oh, oops, that wasn't the important part. I'm sorry I took the focus away from the Epstein files.
If I don't see this guy on a Subway ad by this weekend, what are we even fighting for? I mean, he's a million times better than the last guy.
Anyone who actually reads and understands government economic reports already know not to trust them from here on out.
Here's what I don't get about falsifying economic reports... Who's it for? You think a small town that loses it's biggest employer is going to care about a fake job report? You think people who obsessed about egg prices for months are going to care about a fake inflation report?
Let them! Instead of guillotines, it'll be 11 year old hackers taking them out.
Wow, I didn't think we get to the end of the "child rape distractions list" so quickly. Pace yourself, guy.
I think he gets off on forcing them to bow to him BECAUSE he knows they hate him.
Just realized it says "The band's namesake". What band?
Also, that's not Neve Campbell in the picture, but it IS the "Laura" I was looking for. It's not AI's fault that TKITH apparently named all their non-drag female characters "Laura".
I mean, how did we live in the stone age without these brilliant AI insights at the top of Google searches.
you have my vote, Andrew Cuomo!
youtu.be/5DMndH8QiI4?...
It's not, but I will. "At least I learned about opera and Chopin instead of suburban mom rock."
Dumb Est Timeline
Hilarious. (But also, how are they actually making money?)
Can't tell if this Spinal Tap pinball is out of order or if the screen is supposed to be black.
Also, he will probably die of something he defunded treatment research for, so that's fun.
The one thing I take comfort in is when Steven Miller inevitably dies, he will be utterly alone.
So many wonderful, insane pieces of art to look at in Meow Wolf's Las Vegas outpost, and I take a (hideous) selfie with a Hackers poster and a picture of a book about planets that I had when I was a kid.
President Short Eyes
Ooh ooh... I'll criticize your job! (picked this gif because any excuse to bring up Epstein...)
What is a ... Never mind, I don't care.
What the fuck does that even mean it's like he only knows six words oh God when will this end
The great thing about Jennifer Marlowe from WKRP is that even though she was supposed to be the sexy one*, she was the smartest, most competent person in the office (maybe tied with Venus?) That was quietly groundbreaking in 1978. (*my pre-pubescent sexuality was 100% Team Bailey, though.)
It wasn't even the slow version, it was the album mix.
1990 Me is not sure whether to be happy or sad about hearing "Wave Of Mutilation" playing at the grocery store in 2025.
The lower case is the real humiliation.
What's so bad about being called "book"?
These journalists that stand by and accept gaslighting in the name of cruel fascism are one thing. But by God, if you're not correcting math this bad, you're truly in league with the devil.
Dude just went out of his way to vote to protect pedophiles. The vote was already like 8 to 1 against pedophile shielding, but he still stepped up and went on record as pro-pedophile. His level of commitment to pedophile protection would almost be admirable if it wasn't to protect pedophiles.
Federal agencies hiding out in a bunker
Smells like desperation. Allocating massive amounts of money to build a secret police force is not the same thing as convincing a massive number of people to sell their souls. Most of these dirt bags would sign up for a pack of gum anyway.
Rewatching Angel and the episode where a "zombie" police force (that just looks like a regular police force) starts brutalizing and murdering people minding their own business in the street has aged very well, especially when Angel starts literally kicking their heads off.
They "believe a car crashed into a Portillos"? I mean, I believe it too. There's a picture right there. I hope everyone who used to work as editors all have a support group.
Imagine knowing this person.
Hate to be that guy, but at least I'm not the guy bugging you about Substack. "Blue Velvet" is by Bobby Vinton. Dean Stockwell lipsyncs Roy Orbison's "In Dreams."
MTG being the only Republican on the right side about something...
Damn it, wrong plain/plane. Not as wrong as the plane he flew on, though
"I never had the honor of watching the life drain from my enemies eyes as I helped them move on to another plain of existence with my bare hands. Some have said, the best plain. Maybe, maybe not, maybe they burn in hell... but it's a beautiful thing to see."
My favorite part is that there are hearts on it
Stop making things up. They want us to make things up so they can say we made up the truth. 4000 payments is horrifying enough without trying to pretend they all came from one person. Besides, we know he's never once paid an invoice in his life.
Why are we killing America to save 100 pedophile billionaires instead of the other way around?
*your
So, hire him back now, right? No take-backsies.
