Stop feeding the shit-harvesters!
The NFL putting out that stupid-ass Quad Cities AI commercial is fucking stupid, because AI has gotten so good the only way I know it's bullshit is because Josh Allen is telling the opponent to gargle his balls instead of saying they're a good team.
But it was somehow forbidden for anyone to say "Donald Trump's best pedophile buddy Jeffrey Epstein was given preferential treatment in George W Bush's term then killed in Donald J Trump's first term." Somehow those walls have now come down.
For those of us that are old, this is a moment of Vertigo, all of us remember when this shit first came out, in 2003 then 2008. But back then there was an Unsee spell on it, where everyone in any media organization refused to see it. In this period the term "Lolita Express" came into usage.
Tell me with a straight face these correspondents to Epstein's birthday book didn't know what was going on. Go on, I double dog dare you.
well that's a damn shame!
This is art. Can you show your work?
You’re telling me this guy joked around about raping underage girls? This guy shaking hands with the acclaimed writer of the song “Jailbait”??
Multiple childhood memories of getting back from Scout Camp and opening up my bag only to be hit with a wall of tar / pitch smells.
no sort of smoke smells good, "that pleasant campfire aroma" was written by poets who had people to wash that shit out of their hair and their clothes.
I'm willing to entertain "weed smoke was just an unpleasant smell I hadn't been desensitized to" as an argument but you'll have to make it.
I *did* say this in 1993, however cigarette smoke was absolutely environmental back then in a way modern people teleported back then won't have been acclimated to.
teach the dog to say "Am I being detained?"
Meanwhile Vulcans only work narratively if there's exactly one on the crew. Get a bunch of Vulcans together and it's more passive-aggressive than your midwestern mother-in-law's potluck, and I had my fill of that as a kid.
This is why I will always love Romulans, who instead leaned into it: "Hell yeah we're sexy murder elves!" Did this lead to good decisions? No. Do any of them regret the choice? Also no.
I'll be honest, I don't think NYC has seen such a good politician (laudatory) since Fiorello LaGuardia!

Listen, Miller Lite is a perfectly respectable God-fearing Lager. Even the Limeys knew better to drink IPAs if they weren't on long ocean voyages.
Monday Night Football. Vikings Bears. Can’t beat it.
The one difference is there *are* no NCOs in the Helldiver Corps to teach recruits, Helldivers learn their skills the old-fashioned way: through Natural Selection!
Hudson, did you just drop that napalm strike INSIDE OUR FUCKING POSITIO- [horrific screaming]
*Definitely* like Aliens Colonial Marines.
Imperial Guard but each one drops an orbital strike or 500 kg bomb target flare when they're hit right next to you.
This by Carbot remains the perfect introduction to what you can expect from gameplay.
It's been fun reading the Discourse as Xbox players discover Helldivers 2. "So they're basically Space Marines." "Oh, like 40k?" Heh. No. Nothing at all like 40k. You're just another expendable artillery spotter for all 23 seconds you manage to stay alive.
I never saw that, but the first logs reviewed are from literally the first day on Ceti Alpha IV.
Also say what you will about 21st century warlord Khan Noonien Singh, but at least HE knows it was Hernán Cortés who burned his fucking ships and not Alexander!
I was instead worried they were going to try and somehow rehabilitate Khan, but that's been thoroughly averted. Not a fan of the frame story that Lear has only five days (episodes) to sort through the logs, though. Why not just haul them back to Earth and review them in San Francisco?
GET FUCKED, HATERS!
Doesn't work that way in space, no matter what Heinlein or these clowns may prefer. Space is cold, empty and pitiless, and we have to work together or we just all die, horribly.
Happy Star Trek Day from me to you - picked up a little light reading to celebrate! Find Star Trek Voyager: Homecoming at your local comics shop or order online. Thanks to the IDW team and authors Tilly & Susan Bridges for sending me & my crew on yet another adventure! ✨🚀 @idwpublishing.com
He's right, though, KOTOR 2 will make me utter unhinged takes that would have embarrassed 15 year old me.
Now Faine, he never said she was seventeen when they had this conversation!
My face when I got one-shotted by the monster ten levels higher than me but I'd saved right before walking in the door.
J.D. Vance is about to get very into technical Greek etymology.
Only *legally* for flying.
RealID only establishes lawful residence, not citizenship. I know, it's a maze, and yes, the requirements for citizens are identical to those for a Passport card, but it's not proof of citizenship because it doesn't exclude non-citizens.
Oh, this is Satanic.
Under Kavanaugh's diktat, Latino or Asian looking persons are subject to arbitrary detention unless they carry a US Passport card or Passport at all times. (Or an enhanced driver's license, but only five states even issue those)
Unless it's an "enhanced" driver's license (only obtainable in VT, NY, MI, MN and WA).
"What about Donald Trum--" [looks at recent photo] "I withdraw the objection, your Honor."
Technical fields eliminating employment for young graduates is a potentially civilization-threatening problem when it comes time that you need to replace those educated professionals.
Some fire from Justice Sonia Sotomayor in dissent: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."
When historians write the story of this era, I think it is quite possible that today's Supreme Court decision will appear clearly as a decisive moment, a fork in the road, or at least an available exit not taken. Remember Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo. Many bad things will likely come from it.
I think we can rebuild it.
I agree with you but I'm afraid that ship has sailed, caught fire and sank to the bottom if you're not white.
This is why we need timed mutes of users.
Putting a a shoe in the safe is a good way to remind yourself to check the safe, actually: the advice is to do this WHEN you put other valuables in there. I don't travel for work or fly, but my Amtrak bag advice is to check large bags on Viewliners, but keep them on coach or Superliners.
Yeah but we can't be confusing people who watch out of order in syndication a few years later.
I once got some good advice: write angry letters to those who have wronged you, then burn them. Still don't know what I'm supposed to do with the letters, though.
it's still astronomical summer dawg.
What did I miss at the VMA's?
This pretty God damned hand-wavy for official government guidance, apart from the fever condition. It seems designed to let people get permission to do whatever it is they wanted to do.
Good morning! 🪶
Bullfrog of the day! Monday, 8 Sept 2025
I went to bed at kickoff time, "day 2 of Covid" turned out not to support a full day of NFL. Looks like I missed one hell of a game!
Oh, ART’s humans had a cute pet name for it. I saved that to permanent archive immediately.
I admit at first I thought that was an Amtrak Phase VII Siemens Charger and not houses and I went "what the hell, Canada?"
pius when he doesn't get dinner exactly at 6pm
WTF is he even talking about?
The rest of this is also insane, but "burning the ships" was something that several famous military leaders did (Hernan Cortes, Xiang Yu) and Alexander the Great is not one of them. Primarily because his conquests were, you know, kind of famously done *overland*.
I was very confused to see smokestacks on Roosevelt Island, but no, it's the Ravenswood Generating Station in Long Island City behind it.
He's 76! He was a decorated journalist for longer than I've been alive! The vibes can get to anyone, I guess, if they aren't careful.
Adivinha quem são os traidores da pátria
As a Gen X man I never thought I'd become a moral scold, but contemporary online culture is just a permission structure for shitting on every last obligation to our familes, isn't it?
Meanwhile Lula has made "Sovereign Brasil" the theme of today's Independence Day parade. iclnoticias.com.br/lula-partici...
Look at these patriots calling for amnesty for Bolsonaro
Plenty of us are secular Catholics, tyvm.
they're "tactical" cat ears, though, so it's cool.
A microwave baked potato is a good dinner for when you've ascended the Covid recovery chart from "drool painfully in bed" to "couch potato."
You'd think you'd want to get that straight, but I'm not as old as this guy and I routinely mean one thing and say the exact opposite myself.
I see the Jets are inevitably Jets-ing once again.
I think Matt Groening should have a chat with his lawyer.
Why can't the store just sell American coffee and Modelo?
This isn't Jesus, it's the God Emperor of Man.
My photo of the Scranton Army Ammunition plant from last weekend. The building was originally a locomotive "erecting shop" for the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Now it makes 155 mm artillery shells.
Going through my photos from this morning, and when I saw this owlet with this expression, I immediately thought of Donald Sutherland in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. That movie really messed with my head, I guess. 🪶
Aaron Rodgers last 3 seasons have started with a sack
Here's hoping we see Aaron Rogers eat shit.
I'm feeling so much better this morning the nurse thinks the Paxlovid side effects would be worse than the actual disease from here out.
Good morning! 🪶
Bullfrog of the day!* Sunday, 7 Sept 2025 *Not fully committed to being a backwards bullfrog.
Everything hurts. I guess tomorrow I try to get my hands on some Paxlovid.
God fucking damn it.
I woke up at noon and still few like roadkill
England is playing Andorra in a World Cup qualifier. Andorra plays an important but little-known role in the economy. In 2024, 88.7% of world bureaucracy's supply of "and/or" came from the mines in that little country in the Pyrenees.

@scalzi.com outbid this man.
"O Pais do Football" 🫠
Sage, you need to stop, you're transitioning and your brain chemicals are a mess. None of us hold your acting out against you. You should probably log off for a while, though, sister.
I hope your asshole kicker fucks this up
4th down completion to Hollywood Brown. This is the cheat code bullshit we've had to deal with the past five years.
lol, lmao even.
well now I'm glad I got yo to tune in again.
Typical Chiefs game, they've been outgained three to one on offense but somehow are only two points down in the 4th quarter because Patrick Mahomes is a fucking cheat code.
I don't agree, because Democracy's staunchest fighters outside the Democratic Party are the Neocons, who are committed Atlanticists.The restoration regime will be shipping cruise missles and artillery shells to Ukraine daily.
