Yes, but crucially, you have to find someone better to run against him first.

“Whatever could be causing a loneliness epidemic?” you ask the internet, sitting in a driverless car wearing headphones that you never take off in public, as an anonymous shopper makes contactless delivery of your meal kits using the keypad entry of your condo atop empty ground floor retail space

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

I have been informed by the front desk that it is impossible to turn the light in my hotel bathroom off. It’s on a sensor. So when I get up to take a piss in the middle of the night, I get blinded.

I note many Americans here are reacting to news of Dick Cheney's death about the way Brits reacted when Thatcher died.

Him and his mates were something worse than malicious, calculating schemers: they were blundering clueless fuckheads in charge of the world’s mightiest military machine, and it went more or less exactly as you’d expect. Watch obits to see how few people are willing to admit they themselves fucked it

Someone replied that it‘s always been this way but media consolidation into a tiny number of corporations mostly controlled by people with truly boggling wealth (not “rich” so much as “basically aliens“) is, yes, a real thing with effects.

My son is 9 and I’ve tried to explain to him why the Fernsehturm (TV Tower—we live in Berlin) exists, and he doesn’t quite get it.

“What size is a 12" frying pan?” seems like a stupid question but it is apparently impossible to answer: https://gsioutdoors.com/products/guidecast-frying-pan

(What’s the rim diameter? What’s the diameter of the contact patch? What’s its mass? Handle length? At most one of those is specified.)

Most importantly, the Chinese names are homophonous with "Zohran Kwame" when pronounced in both Cantonese (the spoken language used by first-wave Chinese immigrants from the South) and Mandarin (the spoken language used by new-wave Chinese immigrants from the North).

What an absolute masterstroke.

Thousands of freshly spray-tanned punters have descended on Flemington with an unspoken yet universally understood goal of getting absolutely, unapologetically Barnaby-ed.

I keep seeing journalism described as an "ecosystem" and I guess that tracks because it's undergoing an extinction crisis caused by billionaires, too.
