Finally, seek not only amongst the sages, for rogues and thieves can also know wisdom. Be loyal to one's friends, be generous in love, be courageous against evil, strike against the scourge of wealth, always keep a song in your heart, and when all is done, enjoy a nice cappuccino.
Hudson Hawk Hat Trick GIF
Alt: Hudson Hawk (Bruce Willis) smells the sweet breath of freedom past the gates of Sing-Sing and dons his hat, for sometimes the best armor against fate is to be the coolest.

Wisdom is found in deeds as well as words. This one is profligate with his words, but embodies joy and courage both, for to be brave is not to be without fear, but to offer support and encouragement in spite of fear. And it must be green.

Alt: From the Fifth Element, Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker) in open-collared faux leopard jumpsuit and wearing an extraordinary blonde unicorn Afro hairdo waves his cigarette and goes, "Bzzzt. BZZZZZZZZT!" For those around him do not spark joy, being insufficiently green.

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes. The wise will always be more than simply good or kind, for only in mutual excellence can we all thrive. Partake of all joys in life, for all that we are is finite, and we are but dust in the wind. Dude.
two men standing next to each other with the words be excellent to each other
Alt: Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) holds up one arm with the other on his heart and says, "Be excellent to each other." Ted "Theodore" Logan (Keanu Reeves) does the same and adds, "Party on, dudes." Truly, the wisest of the wise.

As a professional communicator, you surely know about alt text. Choosing not to use it and to exclude disabled people undercuts any positive message you may have. Are disabled people not also protected by the Constitution?

I'm glad you specified which Fallout games, because I refuse to be a Tunnel Snake.

Please use alt text, especially with text screenshots. Excluding disabled people undercuts any positive message.

Congratulations! I was going to try with Italy, but they changed their rules not long ago so my family no longer qualifies. I guess they saw a wave of Trump refugees on the horizon. 😅

It's obviously another right-wing bigoted attack, but you do see that the joke is also bad, right? The punch line is that she should always have been wearing a helmet and kept away from "normal" people. Surely there are ways to mock bigots without attacking everyone with cognitive disabilities.

Jim Henson was raised Christian Scientist but left the church. His death was a tragedy that could happen to anyone. Does trying to ruin the things that bring people joy make you feel powerful?

Because it would tickle me in my sleep, I'd swat at it, and go down in record books as the only person ever to die by accidentally piercing his own medulla oblongata with a quill.

There I go, overthinking things as usual. Happy to be corrected. 😁

I kinda don't get it. Not the hot chef part, I get that, hot chef enjoyers please enjoy. 😁 But after all that, it's just... grilled cheese with pickle, West Virginia hill country style (the way my dad makes it), only now it's expensive with added waste and cleanup?

The days before paying at the pump were fun, too. Even if I remembered the existence of gas. "OK, this and pump number... number... I'll be right back!" 😅

That (in the quoted post) is the face of a man who knows that hanging and firing squads may have fallen out of fashion but they are still very much present in the UCMJ and just awaiting their big comeback.

(N.B.: this is not a pro-capital punishment comment.)

The Donald J. Trump Institute Gutted and Defunded for the Personal Profit of Donald J. Trump and the Detriment of the World Building was too long, I guess.

Also, please use alt text in order not to exclude people with visual impairments.

So I looked this guy up.

This is a white man who got rich pretending to be Asian.

Now, why might a white man who got rich pretending to be Asian want to convince us that conservatism is universal human nature? 🧐

Everything is political.
December 2, 2025 at 9:22 PM
I'm baffled, though, that he would say this is not political and then give the very definition of conservatism. Otherwise it's great, but no, this is not a both-sides human nature issue.

INTERIOR BUNKER. A sign reading "Adolf's Office" in German Gothic script is taped to a concrete wall. Inside, Hitler is slumped over a table, a dim, vacant look on his face. A sign on the table reads, "Der Führer." A Walther PPK lies beside it.

HITLER: Aced the cognitive test. Aced it!
