I've posted this before but "Political Advice for Democrats from Someone who Never Votes for Democrats" is such a dumb genre.

The CuberTruck lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, spinning its wheels trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. You’re laughing your ass off. Why is that?

Behold, the dumbest thing I’ve read today

Could we please require these computer engineers to take enough psychology classes to have at least a RUDIMENTARY understanding of what the word "intelligence" means before they go around vomiting it in their marketing claims?

it'll lay on the jargon with a mix of self-loathing & fear of being exposed

I POOPED AT THE SEANCE

What the literal hell?

This is amazing. The judge holds attorney in criminal contempt to force him to reveal what the attorney asserts is privileged information. Immediately the judge faces pushback on the law on this, calls for a 5 minute recess to “think about it”, and has now been off the bench for 40 minutes.

At the end of Godfather II we learn that Vito Corleone’s birthday is December 7th — Pearl Harbor Day and also my birthday. It is a fact I bring up at every birthday party.

My grandmother, who turned 88 today, was always so proud to share a birthday with Donald Duck. She never mentioned sharing a birthday with anyone else

The part that's most galling to me is how careless so many of my fellow citizens are about democracy. It's not like there's THAT many people who are openly hostile to it, it's just that so many people in positions of authority and influence seem committed to acting like what's happening is normal.

What if the Constitutional requirement that judges hold their offices during “good behavior” means that we can have a judicial ethics code with teeth that is enforced by an agency?

I am very satisfied to have finally reached an age where I’m comfortable admitting that I don’t really find eclipses to be all that fascinating

I love how "normal" in common parlance means "going along with the flow" but "normal" in a vector context means "at right angles to the plane"

My most controversial movie opinion is that most adaptations from books are superior to the source material.

Moneyball is one of those situations where the movie is much better than the book, and this scene is a perfect example. The humor and the drama come from the performances and the adapted script and even Michael Lewis couldn't ruin it.

Fascism is a *process*, not a fixed state. That process almost always involves an extreme minority getting a larger minority (and almost never a majority) to ACCEPT certain dehumanizing propositions as politically legitimate, even if they don't 100% agree w/ their most radical implications.
