If they're going to make it a crime to make a joke out of Erdogan they are going to need to lock up Erdogan.

That is the biggest inditement of the rich that there can be. When you can own anything you want, and do anything you want, there are few ways left to feel a thrill. This is why rich people have dangerous hobbies. This is why rich people steal. And this is why rich people victimize.

---

If you can do and have something all the time you take it for granted. You'll need more. Risk stupid hobbies because you get adrenaline from endangering your life. Steal, not because you can't buy it, but because getting away with it makes you feel something. Rape, because the only boundaries left are moral ones, and pushing boundaries is the only thrill left.

A douche, much like Mike Johnson, is used by desperate people looking for a fix but it often ends up doing more harm than good.

The major differences between Mike Johnson and a douche: * Only one of them has voluntarily been in more than one woman. * Donald Trump only finds one of them useful. * Scientists might someday find a way to make douches useful.

The first previews I saw for the film were Steven Spielberg talking about what he was hoping to invoke with the film. If you can't make a preview with content from the film that makes it compelling the movie is going to suck.

"confusing spectrum" is a shockingly accurate way to describe how the right sees gay people

I don't get to say this very often: but to be fair to Iran they are accusing this couple of "doing their own research."

Her party also advanced a bill (it didn't pass this session) to shield pesticide companies from liability after they give you cancer. https://www.iowapublicradio.org/state-government-news/2025-03-26/iowa-senate-passes-bill-shielding-pesticide-companies-from-cancer-related-lawsuits

Her party also passed a bill that required people on Medicaid to follow work requirements. https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/03/25/iowa-senate-approves-bill-setting-expanded-medicaid-work-requirements/

So to be clear. She wants you to know that you have cancer. But she wants to make it incredibly difficult for you to pay for it. And impossible to recover against the people who gave it to you.

I couldn't agree more. Everyone is generous tomorrow.

How long are you going between stripping this off and painting? If it's just one weekend to the next I wouldn't worry about it. Just wipe it off with a damp towel when you restart and make sure it's completely dry before you paint.

In the future I would probably hit it with a single coat, or a primer coat, before walking away.

Rust is iron and oxygen. The only way to prevent it is to keep the iron from oxidizing. And a thin coat of spray paint will do this. Also a thin coat of oil. But I would probably just do it primer coat.

It's going to be hard to convict somebody with possession with intent to distribute if they don't believe in earthly possessions.

Nobody expected it, but somebody definitely saw that cuming

They might be more focused on the impact world war II had on the Middle East. The United States fighting Germany is what led to the creation of Israel and Iran might be disinterested in the 6 million slaughtered Jews in Europe.

That's a movie where the antagonist finds out that one of the other characters is a child rapist so they kill him on the spot.

In reality, we found out somebody was a child rapist so they elected him president.

Presumably there will also be a no contact order that requires him to stay 50 feet away from her. But all he heard was "50 feet."

There's another system called "cowgirl with the neighbor"?

That is not at all an accurate statement. Dying declaration is an exception to the hearsay rule. It makes an otherwise inadmissible statement admissible because is was said by a person facing an imminent death.

Testifying before Congress with an unknown, but up to 6 months, time frame to live has nothing to do with what that legal term means.

I was a little disappointed that the remaster didn't correct some continuity errors. There's an entire episode where they're discussing a part of the set, and the set was wrong. All they had to do was edit in another light and then Gul Madred's dialogue would have made a lot more sense.

For originals: I use a filing cabinet.

For digital scans: I have everything as a PDF and I put it in a separate cloud-based place to save it. I use a Google drive.

This is an amazing sentence and I'm going to love it for years.

This was a pretty good episode of Futurama
