You’ll hear people say a player got “blown up” after a big hit but this hit actually resembles the assassination of Francoist prime minister Luis Carrero Blanco

I don't have any opinions about Danny Go except for how he keeps my kid exercised sometimes.

Except he looks like Rachel Weisz's brother in The Mummy and I do a double-take every single time

>1 million Americans died in a traumatic viral pandemic, and America responded in the most American way, which was to make it more likely people would die of diseases we’d already contained by tearing up the social contract in the name of “freedom” while disregarding the actual concept of freedom.
The Post's findings show that at least 5.2 million kindergarten-age children in the U.S. are living in counties where vaccination rates for classrooms have fallen below the herd immunity threshold — up from about 3.5 million before the pandemic. While the vast majority of those who receive the measles vaccine are protected from severe illness and death, without herd immunity measles can still spread among those not immune, including those who cannot be vaccinated because of age or because they are immunocompromised. Out of the 44 states reporting county-level rates, 36 and the District of Columbia also reported them for individual schools or districts. At least 19,000 schools - nearly half of schools in the Post analysis - were more vulnerable to outbreaks. The share of U.S. counties where 95 percent or more of kindergartners were vaccinated against measles - the number doctors say is needed to achieve overall protection for the class, known as "herd immunity" — has dropped from 50 percent before the pandemic to 28 percent, according to The Post's examination of the public records from 44 states and the District of Columbia. The number of parents questioning vaccine safety in Anita Chandra-Puri's Chicago pediatric practice has doubled in the last few years, she said. Many of them are highly educated, but they keep coming across misleading information on social media, she said. Across schools in Chicago, the measles vaccination rate has dropped 6 percent on average since the pandemic. "They have access to every resource, and they think that they can become the expert at something because they've seen it multiple times" on social media, Chandra-Puri said.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.
The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein
The media has spent the last few months trying to make sense out of nonsense, attempting to conjure motive, manifesto, and meaning out of the dumbest shit scrawled onto bullets. These were sad attempts to impose meaning on an increasingly incoherent world by a literati that has not yet accepted its irrelevance in a postliterate society. But the most humiliating display of literate obliviousness in the face of the total collapse of meaning, however, was Ezra Klein's bizarre eulogy to Charlie Kirk. The now-infamous column ("Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way") can best be understood as an expression of class solidarity. Klein, I would argue, sees both himself and Kirk as being Debate Guys, wordcels who engage in the marketplace of ideas and let speech sort itself out into political action. Kirk did not commit violence, not because he abhorred it, but because committing violence was someone else's job. Last year, he called for using whips against migrants, saying, "Of course you should be able to use whips against foreigners that are coming into your country. Why is that controversial?" In early June of this year, as the president deployed troops to Los Angeles, Kirk publicly advocated for invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to crush the immigration protests. And in August, he called for "federalizing" the district of Columbia, saying, "Roll in the tanks, bring in the military." With his close relationship to the commander in chief of the United States of America, Charlie Kirk was no mere talker, idea-peddler, or purveyor of discourse. He built an empire on legitimizing violence and harvesting the enthusiasm and glee around it. Even before his death became a pretext to enact violence on American cities, he had already substantively shaped history. Charlie Kirk was a part of the real world in a way that Ezra Klein will never be.

HEBER CITY, Utah - An artificial intelligence that writes police reports had some explaining to do earlier this month after it claimed a Heber City officer had shape-shifted into a frog. However, the truth behind that so-called magical transformation is simple. "The body cam software and the Al report writing software picked up on the movie that was playing in the background, which happened to be 'The Princess and the Frog,” Sgt. Keel told FOX 13 News. "That's when we learned the importance of correcting these AI-generated reports.'

I have to admit, I also always had kinda the wrong idea about Norman Rockwell until I saw the piece "Murder in Mississippi" as a teen in art history class
A painting almost entirely in grey-brown tones, other than the bright red spots of blood. It depicts the murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner in 1964. One of the two white men, either Goodman or Schwerner, is facedown on the ground. The other stands just left of center of the composition, holding the collapsed body of Chaney, a Black man, close to him while staring off the side of the piece. We can't see what he's looking at, but the shadows of the Klansmen that will kill him and the others in moments are visible clustered around the edge of the frame like malicious spirits.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.
