Serious question even though it may not sound like it: could someone call CPS for a welfare check on Megyn Kelly's 14-year-old daughter based on what she said?

Looks like it's actually possible for Ford Prefect to have come from a planet "somewhere in the vicinity" of Betelgeuse.
(A line that always confused me, because he later talked about being on planets around Betelgeuse. Maybe he emigrated along with at least one of his mothers.)

You know, you wouldn't think there would have been a hit song in 1963 that heavily implies a large number of threesomes.

I've decided to convert to Islamic communism.
I face Moscow five times a day to say my prayers to prophet Karl Marx (PBUH). Mamdami will bring about a glorious revolution where all are equal and the people rule all and also he is sultan, inshallah.

![Two panels from an X-Men comic.
First panel.
Beast and Spider-Man are looking at something, presumably something with a button.
Yellow text box in the corner: "I sure hope the others know what they're doing up there!"
Beast: I'm sure it's that red button in the back!
Spider-Man: Absolutely!
Beast: You really think so?
Spider-Man: My spider-sense would be buzzing if it wasn't. [Second balloon with small text] Maybe.
Second panel.
Cyclops, Jean Grey and Ice-Man angrily yelling at them simultaneiously.
All three: WILL YOU JUST PUSH THE BUTTON?!?!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wn2pxdghv5ibn2f27bmj3x4b/bafkreicbs7kadzouvhc4g2c55uny6qsg5p2op3uwcusuhxspafngfgcup4@jpeg)

Air meteor.
Ground meteor.
There, now you don't need three different words for the same rock.
This is why I never got an Astronomy degree and went for liberal arts instead.
That and I'm bad at math. And kinda dumb.

When I hear Spirit in the Sky, what I DEFINITELY think of is a couple of spoiled rich kids stealing from their parents and committing fraud.
Greenbaum is IN this video, so he clearly approved of it.
I've never been pissed off at an "official music video" before.

Dear Americans bitching about the World Series being slow and boring:
I recently emigrated to the UK. Go sit through an entire cricket test match and tell me baseball is slow and boring.
Test matches can be five six-hour days.
Also, they watch darts and billiards on TV over here. Quit moaning.
