Yes, the spelling would have given that away.

I though he was a defense attorney?

Carl Sagan wrote a book, The Demon Haunted World, which is all about why people get sucked into nonsense like ancient aliens, and how to deal with it.

Y chromosomes have very little information on them, and the DNA there is pretty highly conserved. You’re not really keeping any secrets by hiding your Y chromosome away.

In a sense it very much is news. This speaks to something that people have recently been speculating about, namely: Has Gaetz pissed off enough Republicans that they will start dumping their dirt on him to thoroughly assasinate his character? The publication of this article is essentially a giant “YES” to that question of what the “moderate” Republicans are going to do in the midst of this new Speaker crisis.

What beauties! I was too slow this year and didn’t establish a bed. Next year!

Gesundheit.

Or, if you prefer: “Yahweh bless you.”

How will this plan affect my real estate taxes?

Disagree. The movie is a mediocre adaptation of a fun and mediocre book into an un-fun and mediocre movie. The film was never going to be gold, but they spent an awful lot of CGI money to make a movie that wasn’t as fun as just reading the original and imagining all of the nerdy stuff being described.

Yes, and?

Mid 30s, USA. I’m smart (Ivy League science doctorate) but I can’t drive a standard transmission because my dad “couldn’t teach me” because I “wouldn’t learn right”. It was just me asking him questions like "What does the inside of the clutch actually look like? " and him yelling “That doesn’t matter, just ease out on the clutch while giving it some gas!” Apparently I can be taught a lot, but not how to drive a standard.

Weirdly, my engineer friend let me drive his standard transmission car once after giving me some basic instructions and I did okay going up and down the road alone, but that was just one day and I fear I’ve forgotten everything. But I must be mistakenly remembering that, because according to my father I “can’t be taught!”

Barbarians. The world must treat them like it and shame them and their children until this stops.

If you get good at it and if you run enough hives each year, it does, eventually, start making money though! Which is almost more frustrating, because every dollar you spend on it could come back some day in honey sales… but will it?

It absolutely is. I live near the Berkshires, and just harvested about 20 pounds of them from a local tree. Dinner last night was excellent!

Thank you for linking that. The anthem absolutely slaps. Now I wish I was Tuvan. Or, at the very least, I wish the Russian Federation would collapse so Tuva can participate in the Olympics under their own flag, and then I will cheer for them so I can hear this anthem.

You have linked directly to an image of a Ukrainian stomping on a swastika flag. You are not making the point you think you’re making.

Brawndo. It’s got what I crave.

Sure, but in the case of a show dealing with the question of what would happen if the general public could download celebrities despite the non-consent of the celebrities involved, literally Futurama did it.

You’ll take what you can get, and you’ll like it!

I once overheard a pair of utility workers talking, and as I walked past I only overheard a snippet of conversation. The older one yelled up the cherrypicker to the younger one and said, in a heavy Boston accent:

“If only you could use your powers for good, instead of for useless…”

That sentence is seared into my brain.
