What!? I didn't know you had a podcast again. I was just thinking how much I miss All the Presidents' Lawyers.

To be fair, the shower is a very natural place to store important documents. That's where I keep my birth certificate, for example. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-65852074

Are you going to turn me queer? Because if so, I would like to make a request for pansexual.

Me: could you also make me more comfortable in social settings?

Beer: I got you, bro.

Optometrist: are your glasses progressive?

Me: well, they might have voted conservative a couple of times.

You've got to have fun in life people.

People are too harsh on humanity. Try putting hundreds of chimpanzees on a 12-hour flight with no cages. I guarantee there would be not one chimp left alive by the time the plane landed.

What Would Happen if China Invades Taiwan? Listen to this episode from Global Dispatches -- World News That Matters on Spotify. The year is 2026, and China has just launched an invasion of Taiwan. What happens next was the subject of a comprehensive non-classified War Game simulation lead by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Our guest, Mark Cancian, is a retired Marine Colonel and senior advisor at CSIS and one of the lead conveners of this War Game.  We kick off discussing how the War Game was designed before having a longer conversation about the outcomes it predicted. This includes death tolls, the role of Japan and whether or not the US and Chinese homeland are attacked.  I'll cut to the chase: after 24 iterations, the most probable outcome was the defeat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, but at a staggeringly high cost to Taiwan and the United States.

I screamed into the void and the void said, "Welcome to Milliways."

We need an after picture when they come home

These all sound like useful if not vital categories.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not get too extreme in our revolutionary vigor.

Okay. That was the final straw. Can someone point me in the direction of a revolution for me to join?

“We grew apart,” said Boebert. “I realized that he wasn’t the same man I married after he exposed himself to teen girls at a bowling alley. Not anymore.”

Heard it at the kids' playground, "Your momma is so stupid that she studied for a covid test."

I am ethically non-monogamous and a single parent. I tell you, all the dating apps specifically made for one or the other are terrible.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 is a great movie. Better than vol 2 by a healthy distance. But the line "It was your story thr whole time..." angers me to an irrational degree. Trust your audience writers! Trust them!!

It's a chance to educate and initiate!

And all ten of us feel privileged to be here.

They joke, but it could be kind of true. The history of mind altering drugs is older than civilization.

The first headline is my favourite. What the hell is a "beer expert" in this context?

Everyone, duck!!!

Your service is noted and appreciated.

PictureS not picture. I am certain that no other place on the internet can fill this need.
