One thing I don’t like about Star Wars is how every Yoda is on the Jedi council or connected to a prophecy or a beloved cultural icon, it’s time for a Yoda who works at Buffalo Wild Wings and has a 2014 Ford Focus

If you live in DC long enough you meet a certain kind of person - an aspiring member of the elite, often coming from meager means - whose entire life is structured around the aim of living in a townhouse and having a life that fits in one. That kind of person is me. Do any of you want to get married

I walk back into the church carrying the travel Eucharist kit and a Taco Bell bag. I am confronted by the sacred and the profane. I eat my Cheesy Gordita Crunch, longing for re-enchantment ⚓

I just love the idea of drinking Colt 45 from a glass
I forgot I was meant to be putting up some of my more recent glassware finds. Here's a blast from the past from Colt 45's short existence here - it's etched as 1980. Nostalgia can take many forms ...

Be sure to tune in. As I tell all my lovers, this might just be the best 20 seconds of your life.

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group
1) you are the audience, giving it prompts
2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

Bolsonaro having to get up in court to explain that, in multiple instances, he had to leave his property to "fight a large flightless bird" that he considers his personal enemy.
Moraes has given Bolsonaro 48 hours to explain apparent violations of his house arrest. If the explanations are deemed insufficient, he'll go to prison.
The deadline will be Friday evening, so put some beer in the fridge just in case you need to celebrate.

15 years of radio observations yielded this amazing view down the throat of a black hole.
We're looking into a jet of plasma shooting out from a supermassive black hole, called PKS 1424+240. The lines depict intense magnetic fields threaded through the jet. 🧪🔭

I fought wildfires as part of a fed BLM crew for several seasons. No masks, no protection other than a shitty bandana over our faces. After every rotation we were coughing up black shit and it was considered just normal.
It is incredible how little care or funding wildland firefighters get.

“It would be unthinkable for urban firefighters… to enter a burning building without wearing a mask. But across the country, tens of thousands of people who fight wildfires spend weeks working in toxic smoke and ash wearing only a cloth bandanna, or nothing at all.”
