ALL POLITICAL PUNDITS JUST SEEKERS OF THE TRUE VIBE

You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

One of the best details about that game was he also ate so many bananas over the course of it that he eventually threw up

FDA is authorizing anybody with a risk factor from this list to receive the vaccines, as well as anybody 65+.

there’s a moment in a recent season of Love Is Blind UK that I can’t find anywhere online where a guy who is not one of the main daters exclaims “Oh, it’s lemon cake as well!” during a birthday celebration that my wife and I quote every single time something tastes good now.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

“Extraordinary!”

The result was that, for much of the 1970s, the justices literally had to meet in the basement of the Supreme Court to watch pornographic movies that were the subject of prosecutions, in order to make subjective calls about which movies should be protected by the First Amendment.
Those movie days, as described by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong in The Brethren, were thoroughly humiliating experiences. Justice John Marshall Harlan, for example, was nearly blind during many of these screenings, so one of his law clerks had to describe what was happening on the screen to him — often prompting Harlan to explain "By Jove!" or
"extraordinary!"

While waiting to get off this plane I watched a guy pull out his phone, put on a playlist called Christina Aguilera Essentials, then open Instagram and write a story that just said “ass so fat they should drop it on Tel Aviv next,” hesitate for a second, then post it.

Today gave me a bit of hope that we’re not entirely screwed.

A large crowd of protesters gathers in downtown Chicago surrounded by tall buildings. People are holding various signs with slogans, and one person prominently raises a small American flag. Some individuals are wearing face masks and hats, and the atmosphere appears energetic and engaged.

one more reason i'm not that worried about AI replacing jobs super broadly is that it an LLM doesn't know how to ignore directions from a boss that are actively detrimental to a business
