THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

Currently vacant because the basket company that built it was a pyramid scheme and they couldn't afford to keep it when the bottom fell out. Probably no ominous signs there, just buy it while it's cheap!
The former home office of the Longaberger basket company. It is an office building that looks like a giant basket.

When I saw this on the IMDB page for the original I didn't much care who they had cast to voice Mario.
Composer credits for the Super Mario movie from IMDB, crediting Koji Kondo.

I mean, it's Lego, so yes, trivially. But also, looks like it's intentionally designed to do so easily.

Just an unfathomable amount of lead

Washington predicted that exactly in his farewell address.
I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally. This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy. The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.

I remember getting pretty excited about this poster because it was a compelling metaphor but then nope it was 100% literal

Love to live in a town that recognizes that Peeno Noir: an Ode to Black Penis is a contribution to our musical heritage at least as significant as anything from REM or The B-52s.

The actual Bible has some thoughts on this
Deuteronomy 4:2 King James Version 2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

This is somehow the world we ended up living in.
Series of screenshots from the Simpsons. Panel 1, KBBL manager to KBBL DJs: If you don't get that kid an elephant by tomorrow the DJ-3000 gets your job. Panel 2, bald DJ looks upset, dumb DJ looks unphased, DJ-3000: Looks like those clowns in Congress did it again. Panel 3, DJ-3000: What a bunch of clowns. Panel 4, Dumb DJ: How does it keep up with the news like that?

I could watch these two do literally anything for any amount of time.

Financial Pro-Tip @FinancialProTip Several people took exception to my comments on crypto and informed me that crypto is the inevitable future, so let me be clear. If I'm ever forced to interact with cryptocurrency, if I ever have to maintain a crypto wallet as a normal part of my life, I'm becoming a terrorist. 3:02 AM : 26 Jan 22 : Twitter for Android

Bro was on some Cassandra shit
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty. Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

We couldn't find dino nuggets on our last grocery run so I had to convince the kids to eat regular nuggies by calling them dino eggs.
