Fifteen years ago today, Disney released 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘥, the greatest animated film of all time.

Say goodbye to the penny. The last one is in the mint today.
POTUS is right on this count. It costs 400% more to make than it's worth. A billion dollars here and a billion dollars there and soon we're talking about real money.

The bank texted me to ask if I had written out a check for my house re-pipe or been hacked.
They weren't wrong to be surprised. It's difficult getting money out of me.
Here is my checkbook. That dust is real. It creaks when you open it.

Dear Mr. Campbell:
14,000,000 of us issued a collective sigh of relief because statistically it was going to happen eventually, but now the rest of us can go another 1,000 years of dealing scar damage rather than receiving it.

At this moment on September 5th, 1977, Voyager 1 took off on a Titan III rocket to explore the universe.
It's now 16 billion miles away, running on 69 KB of memory written in FORTRAN, still returning data. Thanks to its radioisotope thermoelectric generators, it may still be sending data until 2030

RIP to Loni Anderson.
Like Ginger or Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island" the decade before, Jennifer or Bailey was the cultural divide created by "WKRP In Cincinnati."
In both cases there was a right answer.
If you tell me your answer I'll tell you if you're wrong.

This hot take - puns are only used by Nazis - is even weirder by someone who laments the rise of Fascism but ironically prevents anyone from quoting or replying to his thoughts handed down from Intellectual Mt Olympus.

Today in 1969, Ron Santo of the Cubs hit a home run in Philly. The crowd stood and roared. Back in the dugout he said to Glenn Beckert, "I've never had a standing ovation on a road trip."
Beckert replied, "You still haven't, Ron. Take a look at the scoreboard. A man just walked on the moon."
