I will downvote every iteration of this stupid minions meme, regardless of whether or not it is formatted correctly. I’m sick to death of it. I’m well aware that nobody else gives a shit, and why should they? As long as I’m soapboxing about nonsense, I feel the same way about “____ has entered the chat”
Yeah, living in Texas, I’ll seize any opportunity to wear a sweater or jacket that stays in the closet during our 10ish months of summer. You just miss out on so much accessorizing when it’s this damn hot all the time!
That’s pretty great. I’ve known a few Captains that would probably do this. They really are the spec 4’s of commissioned officers. Cool Majors are harder to find, but exist. LTC and above, good fucking luck.
Not sure which song you’re quoting from, but it’s referencing this Woody Guthrie song. I’m mostly familiar with it via Nanci Griffith’s excellent cover on Other Voices, Other Rooms, and I had forgotten that Woody Guthrie wrote it. Thanks.
I mean it’s gotta be well past the “best by” date at this point. Any sensible person would have thrown it out long ago. Otherwise it’ll stink up your fridge something awful.
One thing I haven’t noticed anyone else mention is that the literacy data being referenced here seems to originate from the PIAAC, an organisation that I wasn’t previously familiar with. I was curious about their methodology, since I also thought the quoted rate was shocking. The thing is, according to this FAQ, they only assess in English. So the number of people who are actually illiterate is inextricable from the number of people who are literate in another language, but haven’t learned English yet.
I think this is the only comment I’ve ever seen anywhere referencing Chicago. Congratulations! Your prize is the knowledge that my wife and I still occasionally use jazz-hands as code for “that person had it coming.”
Fair enough. I enjoy musical theater, but that one never grabbed me. So the movie’s my only point of reference, and I wasn’t a big fan. Don’t think it deserved to beat out Gosford Park or Fellowship of the Ring for best picture.
Growing up in suburban Texas, my Mom would occasionally blast this song in the car while my siblings and I slid down in our seats, hoping nobody we knew would see us. youtu.be/WMiV27R1ZiI?feature=shared
I feel like all I’ve ever needed to know about Vermont is whether it’s on the left or the right, vis-a-vis New Hampshire. I never remember which one is which. At least Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania had the decency to line up north to south in alphabetical order.
By now you’ve likely heard that Representative Mike Johnson—the congressman Republicans finally elected as the new Speaker of the House after 22 days of chaos—played a significant role in the plot to overturn the 2020 election, a lowlight on his résumé that is obviously deeply concerning for the future of democracy.

Nor is Elisabeth Moss, but nobody wants to talk about it. Like, I’ve only ever seen universal acclaim associated with her. Nobody gives a fuck that she’s an actual cultist playing the role of a cultist.
Curious as to what your source for this is. A quick search turned up this article, which is prefaced by a lengthy editor’s note regarding its veracity. The article as it now exists links to this article as the source of the claim
men accused female brewers of being witches.
This “source” doesn’t even make that argument at all.
See, this is the kind of joke I like to tell, but I’ll add a ton of extraneous detail, and go on for like 5 minutes before arriving at the punchline. It’s too bad memes aren’t really a good medium for shaggy dog stories. I guess you could do like a series of them. But at that point maybe you’re crossing into webcomic territory.
I like to think of it as unlocking new thought technologies. Like a tech tree in a 4x game. Sometimes you have mental breakthroughs that legitimately open up new options. I recommend getting really stoned and talking to yourself in a mirror. Also, Disco Elysium.
I like the idea that Voyager being stranded in the Delta Quadrant is playing back on Earth as a reality show, and they have to keep viewership numbers up if they ever want to make it home. Kind of like Avenue 5.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame they’re not making a third series, but it’s got to be hard to get commitments from such a big ensemble cast. Also I believe there was some merger fuckery that affected it, and they really did fuck-all to promote it. If you’ve liked any of Iannucci’s other stuff, definitely check it out.
By some people, sure. But Mandela and the ANC were designated terrorists by Reagan’s government in 1986, and this wasn’t changed until 2008. It’s definitely untrue that he wasn’t called a terrorist in the west.Source.
