No one of consequence. Maybe listen if I'm talking about structural engineering but you can safely ignore anything else.

American cars are too complicated now. When will Detroit again make a car I could steal one piece at a time over several years?
It's so good the only flaw is when your mother in law sends more kimchi than the box can handle you feel like you have to buy the post office a new building to say sorry

I mean it's Twain and then Chesterton right? I know it's cheating to just pick writers with a 100 mph zinger but they'd be magnificent in this form
Do you have a historical figure you most wish got to be a poster? I feel like you must have a better answer than mine, which is Churchill. The guy started autobiography when he was 19 I think. And just never stopped. True poster.

People are so funny about dads and infants "she looks just like you!"
She's a day old Korean infant, it's ok she looks more like her mom than a gaunt white guy with a beard

It's the end of days, an angel wearing a flat billed baseball cap that he does not remove in the presence of the Eucharist appears to me. He makes theologically incoherent accusations of mariolotry and miscegenation for some reason. Then he shoots me with a gold AR-15.
Every time this happens (and it happens kind of a lot) I think about how annoyed I'll be if it turns out the right religion is the one that's just mine but illiterate and dumb

Just witnessed an incredible bit, daytime nurse relieved night nurse, erased the night nurse's name from the whiteboard and then wrote the same name down because they have the same name

Am I to understand one of the last things Jeff Epstein the new York financier did was write a hamfisted "as you know" letter to another child abuser?

Last week ICE was prowling around some schools in Columbus Ohio and they were foiled by not opening the doors, all the kids being released at once and immediately put on their bus, and the principal just going out and telling them they had to leave school property.

I usually regard the division of STEM and the humanities as artificial and something that blinds more than it illuminates but the job markets really are different and it's rough for them. Academia (not TT, but as much money as humanities TT) is literally my backup.

What percentage of Paul Tsongas' legacy is Homer rhyming his name with "sexual congress"?
Probably not much as it was after season 12, but maybe 1-2% right?

Why isn't there a cartoon fisher cat on the TV telling me when skin grafts are half off?
Scalise: "Everybody complains, 'Why when I watch TV do I see this Gecko lizard & emu & all these animals out there selling car insurance & homeowners insurance? Why aren't they selling healthcare?' That's bc federal laws prohibit people to have choices for lower cost products for health insurance"

I've never been so poised to disappoint someone as I am now, when a collaborator has refered to me as "the mathematician" to our boss.
Sir, I have the same degrees as you. I just didn't forget the course on statistical methods

The thing about the phrase "birthing person" is the only people I've heard use it are midwives and the idea that they of all people devaluing women is so preposterous you should pinch yourself if you think it.
Ana Kasparian claims the left turned on her over her opposition to being called a "birthing person".
Ana Kasparian: "I don't have kids, I don't want to have kids, and I don't want to be called a 'birthing person', I find it super insulting."

Bringing back the Dodge Magnum again with wood panels would be sick. But also it could meet fuel economy standards no problem, just copy Suburus homework
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

You must have an air purifier in every room because of a chemical spill 30 years ago (ok fine lackadaisical regular dumping). But the fines in the souls lab clog the filters. The solution is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
