I've read in numerous places that the classic 70s British sitcom Porridge, depicting life in a medium security prison, was actually beloved by prisoners themselves because of the accuracy with which it depicted the mundane day-to-day of incarceration.
Can we clad an entire data center in a fleece vest?
It's worthy; you might even say ... Goldsworthy.
I always thought of Gillespie as the fourth runner up in a John Cassavetes lookalike contest.
You might call it a cult.
It should've gone for the deep cut and just put "Gerald Fard Muhammad."
Stephen Fry gonna be on the warpath when he finds out Hugh is moving in on his racket.
I don't know if people could truly comprehend how much crime there was in the late 80s compared to today. The amount of murders committed in NYC in 1990 was FIVE AND A HALF TIMES AS MANY as were committed there in 2024.
Christ, if they hate the heat this summer, just wait until we have a really bad one with 50+ days of 100 degrees or more for the high and the temp never going below 80 degrees at any time day or night for several weeks in a row.
Zohran seems to be aiming for "What if Ed Koch, but not a complete asshole?"
I see this image and cannot help but think of Roger Daltrey screaming.
"Oops, shouldn't have this Nobel Peace Prize logo here either..."
I have lived in Texas my whole life. I can say with reasonable confidence that super fit people here bitch about the summer heat and humidity just as much as us fatties.
I'm increasingly starting to feel like Michael Corleone when Tom Hagen tells him Hyman Roth is at death's door: "He's been dying of the same heart attack for 20 years." This country is pathologically incapable of learning from history.
St. Kitts and Nevis? Alexander Hamilton was born on the island of Nevis.
How to properly re-home a pet.
Don't know who the guy is, but I can tell he has spunk.
Portnoy is his generation's Hugh Hefner - a guy who figured out late in the day that the beautiful people who enjoy your largesse are still going to keep you at arm's length in their day to day lives.
They're also the same people who panic over low birth rates.
The people who claim reverence for "small town" America live in 50-100,000 person suburbs. If any of them actually had to live in a small town like the one my dad grew up in (2,200 people in rural Wisconsin), they'd go crazy in a month.
What are the odds that by this time next year, we learn this girl has been stalking a professor who gave her a B+ at whatever college she ultimately attends.
Oh lord, the Tracy Flick energy is strong with this one...
Well, I think RFK Jr. is intending for people to take bunk supplements instead of anything developed by Big Pharma (probably sold by some company he has a financial ownership stake in).
He's also obsessed with being a "protector" but is completely terrified of any major city.
I'll be 37 this year. For people in my age bracket, Cale's version is our Hallelujah, as it was the first version we ever heard ... in the first Shrek movie, of all things!
I try to be fair-minded; if you say you're into wellness, I don't immediately assume this. However, if someone says they are into wellness and then tries to cite a wellness tip from Gwyneth Paltrow, I beat a hasty retreat.
pay for college for all of them is the equivalent of having a second mortgage.
I would disagree on there being no policy mechanism to "solve the problem." If the U.S. provided free post-secondary education (college, trade school attendance, cosmetology school, etc.), I think there would be a noticeable upswing in the birth rate. Having three kids in today's world and trying to
The Roman Inquisition defending their treatment of Galileo: "look, we've had the view that the sun revolves around the Earth for centuries."
Well, there's always money in the banana factory...
Just to nitpick, they weren't avoiding it because it would kill them. They were avoiding it because it was going to allow Bill Gates to control their brains. Oh, and Nicki Minaj said it was going to swell testicles too.
TV sets were even worse. I was watching a clip from a 1983 episode of The Price is Right. They were giving away a 28-inch TV that cost $600 in 1983 dollars! Today, you can get a 40 inch model for $300.
WaPo outright calling it unconstitutional in the headline; Bezos must be getting hot under the collar about the tariffs.
That is, of course, assuming these morons didn't cheap out and get a liability only policy.
Well, if Weird Al Yankovic has taught me anything, it's that you can survive a crash as long as you have your tray table up and your seatback in the full upright position. But maybe that only works if your specifically flying to Albuquerque.
The answer to that rhetorical question is no, because Marco never had a soul to begin with.
So, by 2028 we're going to be ruled by mutant Victor Buono?
I guess these guys decided they needed a relationship version of "quiet quitting" at work (aka doing your fucking job).
He's gonna be lucky if the gym guy doesn't dehydrate himself to death or just keel over from a heart attack.
If Canada's being led by a Carney, are we being led by Ralph Kramden or Jackie Gleason (quite frankly, either answer is not a net positive)?
Something that hasn't been written about enough in regards to the shitshow at the FBI is that every single Tony Soprano figure in this country must be doing cartwheels right now. Every minute wasted on this bullshit is a minute that is not being spent investigating organized crime.
Yes, exactly. Ross was an Army officer for 20 years. He noted in interviews that his jobs involved him having to yell at or dress down people a lot, which he hated having to do. After he retired, he strove to have the exact opposite personality and to try to never yell at anyone again.
Christ this guy is a weasel. I remember the statement he put out when the story first broke; he got all indignant about the article while not actually disputing any of the facts The Alligator included in their investigation.
If the average federal worker earns $50,000, 8 months of pay would be roughly $33,000. If all 2 million of them took this supposed buyout, you are looking at a potential liability of $66 billion just on salary. That doesn't even include any benefits.
If you think that's crazy, remember that Giancarlo also played Buggin' Out in Do The Right Thing. I can't imagine two more different characters than Buggin' Out and Gus Fring.
Why is he in the hospital? Don't Rogan or RFK Jr. have some supplement pills they can sell him that can clear the blockage immediately?
Do you think the people at Mercedes who allowed their product to be used in this movie knew that they were creating an advertisement for how shitty the windows are on the G-Class?
Given RFK Jr.'s stated goals, I certainly hope Jewel has been studying the definition of "casualty" recently.
I mean, George S. Patton thought Erwin Rommel was an excellent commander. Maybe we oughta name a base after him!
Zuckerberg is having the most public and quite possibly the most severe midlife crisis I have ever seen.
"a burrito costs less than the ingredients to make it." Does this idiot know how restaurants work? Does she seriously think that they are selling burritos for less than the costs of the ingredients?
This is starting to remind me of that FairTax nonsense from 20 years ago. Only difference is that the FairTax guys added in a "prebate" cash handout to lower income earners in a vain attempt to make the thing palatable. This situation has no corollary to that.
Home and Alone, Daniel Stern's autobiography. Very fun read from a cool guy.
In terms of U.S. Politics, "Retailers Report Sales Fell Short of Dim Forecasts" was probably the more important headline.
Eh, more like he doesn't like the fact that H-1Bs are predominantly going to non-white peoples, but he's too chickenshit to say so openly. I don't think this dude could find the CRT point with two hands and a flashlight.
Hey, believe in yourself David! You just gotta find a way to make yourself Taylor adjacent; then watch the views soar higher than Rudy Giuliani's legal settlements.
Funny to think that Home Alone features two different actors (Roberts Blossom and Larry Hankin) who were in Escape from Alcatraz.
The editor who allowed this to happen needs to head to Kathmandu.
They want to keep the independent auto mechanic who fixes their car air conditioning for half the price that the chain auto repair shop charges.
Valery trying to exact his revenge. Unfortunately, Christopher and Paulie are both dead.
They're also going to have to find a new boogeyman in the vaccine itself, since thimerosal was removed just out of an abundance of caution. Can't begin to imagine what hokum they'll have to come up with.
