And so I go into the woods. As I go in under the trees, dependably, almost at once, and by nothing I do, things fall into place … my mind loses its urging, senses its nature, and is free.- W. Berry

90s SportsCenter was super intelligent guys being ironic, meta and funny. Gameday is the dumbest guys in the bar yelling at each other.

The article was intended as rage-bait, worked perfectly, and received the attention the writer wanted.The real question is how are so many people so gullible this far into the online age. It really shouldn’t be so easy.

The WSJ piece was blatantly obvious rage bait and worked precisely as intended.

We don’t like the thought of going out. The hassle of getting there, getting dressed, other people etc. Once we actually get to the show, I doubt many regret the effort.

It will be way less sophisticated than that. There will be masked ICE goons posted outside polling places in D precincts harassing and intimidating in the name of “election security.”

“I mean let’s get real,” the CDOT spokesman said. “There’s construction everywhere, roads shutdown, some projects have been going on so long even we have forgot what the initial purpose was. So yeah, good luck out there. It’s a complete mess. Someone should really do something about it.”

South Texas game cam catches a raccoon riding a javelina (Dicotyles tajacu).

The deer feeder corn attracts a lot of other species, but maybe we should worry about them all teaming up against us?

(📷: Jeff Davis, TAMU-Kingsville alumni forum)

On a black and white game cam, three javelinas are browsing corn while a raccoon sits on one of their backs. The lighting produces laser-eyes in the raccoon, who is secretly one of the X-Men.

A raccoon knight on a javelina steed. "Onward, Pigasus! Let us show them the meaning of haste". Motion blurred, black and white game cam shot.

Aretha’s “Weight” does feature a swampy Duane Allman but I know what you mean.

You have to find joy where you can these days and the thought that the entire executive class voted for this guy, who they knew was nuts, to get lower taxes and dereg and now he’s going to destroy each of their industries one-by-one is one place to find it.

Anyone looking at me or my kids with those will be at the significant disadvantage of just being punched.

“Amid tensions”. You have to admire the creativity of modern journalists in their task of never clearly stating what’s actually going on even though it’s plain to see. This is like “Germany sends armies into Belgium amid tensions.”

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Reading comprehension is not your thing is it? Try it again. You got it horribly wrong the first time.
