Rage bait, maybe. But I chuckled, and that is good enough for me.

True true

Earl Grey Sausage. Hot. 😉

I like this.

I’m a staunch atheist who likes a holiday.

Jesus was most likely born in the spring or fall a few years earlier than we recognize, if he was even a single person or existed at all. The Church, as it did every time, took existing holidays and co-opted them.

The end of the Roman calendar year is an amalgam of pagan holidays that celebrate the shortest day/longest night. A lot of the traditions we associate with Xmas are celebrating the beginning of the lengthening of the day and the return to life/springtime.

Xmas has always been a meta holiday. Most are. Enjoy the company of friends and family just as people have for millenia, no matter what banner is hanging over the mantle.

Flip it and you got me.

There are 2 images of ‘the evolution of man’ on this page. The 2nd one seems close to what you’re asking for.

Hey man, let’s take some poorly written beat poetry and put it over mediocre guitar compositions. Then we can take a talented keyboardist but make him play the shittiest sounding electric organ. And we can make sure the recording makes it all sound like a cat and some tin cans in a dryer.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.

I’d love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.

Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.

I don’t know if this link will work, but Moody’s just released a statement that almost half of US states are in a recession. Closer Look on GPB had a Moody’s economist on their podcast today:

It doesn’t look like they had a control group of people doing the strength training without any protein supplement. I would assume that group would also perform the same.

Hell arrived a while ago and it is summer on Lake Myvatn, or Midge Lake. You can’t breathe without inhaling insects, so you have to wear a mask just in case a cloud of those things happen your way.

Especially from a tech critic.

I’m closer to his age, so I am nowhere close to regular enough to shit on command on a cop car. That is a young man’s game. Back in my day though…

Agreed on the independence part. We are much more interdependent than we let on (in the US especially, but other places as well).

If everyone 30+ got together and collectively decided what thriving meant, then worked to reach those goals, then I think we would all be thriving.

The majority isn’t hoping for a vacation home or to send their kids to Ivy League schools or to buy a bigger boat. The majority of middle class folk I talk to regard thriving as being comfortable enough to send the kids to some postsecondary school and take a few weeks vacation out of the country. They want to have enough to retire at 65 and live a modest life, be able to spoil their grandkids a little… nothing crazy.

The ability for all of us to thrive is already here. It is only the slight matter of systemic overhaul that prevents us.

I know her job is to work with feet, but I still hope they know each other. Well.

Okay, now defend us from the foreign censorship that Israeli lobbyists baked into our state constitutions. https://www.newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colleges-illegal-bds-1895292

I have two theories. Section 31 was terrible at recruiting covert ops and we’ve seen their blundering over and over again on the small screen. Or, they were very good at covert ops and we’ve only seen the few times they misjudged the morality of their operatives.

I’m a carpenter. If I do my job well, you won’t know I was there at all.

Wasn’t the genome sequencing in 2010 to determine just how the hell he wasn’t suffering from his epic substance abuse? So that we could get some of that Ozzy sauce and party til we drop, of course. Did Keith Richards ever do the same?
