Most accurate prediction of the future by a sci fi show
I am so thankful to @nogodsnomayors.com for informing me about the home town of Pavarotti constructing an ice skating rink around his new statue so he now looks like the happiest man in Cocytus.

It’s crazy how often this is the reason things suck
A simple answer to this, anecdotally speaking, is that people in general want nice things, but they don't want other people to have access to said nice thing and the latter will almost certainly overshadow the former
Just generally my default assumption upon learning that something new is gonna happen in Britain is that it'll be a little bit crap. I don't think that's inevitable or something, I don't get that impression in other countries, especially not ones as wealthy as the UK. Things here just always rubbish

I know there's been years of disinfo downplaying the flu in order to dismiss COVID as a threat, but both things cause serious illness and are best avoided. This flu wave is no joke. It's a good idea to get this season's flu vaccine (it's not too late), and wear a well-fitting mask like an N95.

These throwable fire extinguishers seem like a real-life example of xkcd.com/937 — they have really good reviews from everyone except the few people who tried using them to put out fires

It's remarkable that the co-chair of the Federalist Society is admitting that Clarence Thomas relies on "gifts" from rich friends.
