Real talk - in a world where, if we were honest, World War numbers would look more like the Super Bowl, Samsung is showing me ads for their latest world changing technology, "The Black Matrix", and quite frankly if it isn't a doomsday machine I'd call it a wasted opportunity. But I hope it isn't.
I get peak Pelosi vibes, but with many more decades to refine it even further. Big "one day she'll run this place" vibes. I think we'd all be better off for it,
but that's just my hot take.
Does that mean "fetch" might finally be made a thing?
"Structural changes" hits the nail squarely on the head. It would require late 20th century norms to be both reestablished and codified into law, a depoliticized judiciary, enough regulatory teeth to prevent future autocratic slides, an apology tour, and a ton of foreign aid. Minimum.
Ah, the classic venn diagram where "my t-shirt answers a lot of questions raised by my t-shirt" meets "saying the quiet part out loud on a hot mic".
This makes sense. After all, being won over will certainly be seen as foul betrayal by your old cheering section, and the dunk:embrace ratio isn't great on the other side. This is true of any debate - less "honest exchange of ideas" and more "repping your side in gladiatorial combat".
I was about to say that Truss (b.1975) is a full decade younger than Bondi (b. 1965), so without further info I can only conclude that Bondi's surgeon deserves more recognition just for skill.
But all in spanish. With a live feed of Kid Rock being forced to watch.
Your karaoke bar must be wild if that's on the list
Magnolia Explosion does sound like it would be the name of a great band from the bay area
Please forgive me, I've been working with a 3 year old on atoning after FAFO goes very wrong. It's hard going from "things will never be okay again" to "redemption starts with change and atonement". If Brett struggles with the idea my son will gladly share his illustrated biography of Alfred Nobel.
Just saying that under these very specific circumstances, "When the Roberts court seemed irredeemable, one courageous man-a man who proudly loved beer more than being roasted daily-chose to finally take a stand and right the ship of America's judicial legacy and future" might be uniquely persuasive.
You think "too little too late" could be communicated to him as "Here is the long list of things you'll need to fix before your name stops being a playground taunt"? "You could be a hero, Brett. 'The man who saved America's justice system' has a nice ring to it, no? That's history calling, Brett."
The Nutcracker but the dad and Drosselmeyer go to bed in the middle of their longstanding annual Warhammer 40k game and the mouse king suddenly regrets the choices that lead to this situation. I'd definitely go see it.
Was it that "democrats were finally fighting back" or "democrats with platforms for fighting back won elections"? It's a key difference. Parties change when the candidates do.
My supportive aloof wife would prefer if I was more like Zohran, and it doesn't feel like an unreasonable position.
But that makes the Doof Warrior Kid Rock, and before this moment I'd never actually felt a character's rizz evaporate in realtime.
Tanks! Notoriously short on space, women tank crews would be optimal. Come to think of it, probably submarines and space travel too. Anywhere you need more hands than shoulder room. The weirdest part? None of those examples involve tractor tires in dire need of flipping.
Oh brilliant, now America's enemies know the exact size of slightly larger tire needed to overwhelm our secretary of defense. The next Tom Clancy novel is going to be awful 🤣
The prank is that the night of Dec 24 I will permanently assemble a 7ft tall version of the ornament in his kitchen. We will all deny any knowledge of this.
He does not like having so much as his photo online and only tolerated it for work. He pays with checks. We all know such a man. I will take family photos and make a mesh. I will use it to 3D print an x-mas ornament that is very recognizably his head. I will say I used AI but this is not the prank.
My father in law worked in tech systems and security for well over 40 years. He's never voluntarily carried a mobile phone, much less a smart one. It's very "old man yells at The Cloud" and cleans his network more often than his gutters. I speak freely for he avoids social media. I will prank him 🧵
My 3 year old was using a step stool to reach dangerous objects on high shelves. His mother is currently explaining that we aren't making exciting challenges, we're trying to stop him. I tried first but it just turned into a climbing safety lesson.
BlueSky has the best fun police, though. Have you seen the other guys' fun police? Double yikes.
I'd wondered what to call the Vespa in my low budget Dukes of Hazard reboot.
In the article it looks like she's saying she wants more police funding
instead of the national guard because hiring more cops would ultimately be cheaper than the overtime going to the current DC police. This does not match the headline. She may just be saying what she must to get the NG out.
That's an interesting perspective but sounds kinda complicated - maybe it would help if he led by example and personally showed us all how that's supposed to work.
You ever think about the person who came up with the term "2% milk" to replace "slightly under 2/3 the fat of whole milk but now it tastes nasty"? Absolute marketing genius.
I know this is how my wife sees most of my 3D printing misadventures because she quotes it when roasting me. She's very skilled in this way.

I think I'm locked in a perpetual battle of wits with myself and neither of us is winning. I try to be so darn clever and end up running headlong into another clever thing I was trying to do, in a thrilling game of cat & mouse & I am both. It was never Spy VS Spy. Just Spy going through some stuff.
