Base-64 of β€œThe Truth is Out There”

I'd like to know who had the idea to put Base-64 at the end of the opening credits for an episode of the X-Files and how they managed to convince others to green-light it.

Does "the cool S" stand for Security Door?

Playing "spot the lies" during the president's State of the Union Address might be a fun party game if it wasn't for, you know, the current state of the union.

I often have strange, vivid, cinematic dreams. Last night's pivoted around *tactical* magic. Some doofus teleported a cute girl from her home planet just to get with her, accidentally poking a hole in the planetary defense, allowing the population to be decimated by waiting invaders. Whoopsies.

"If we prosecute the rich white men redacted in the Epstein files, the entire system will collapse."

My dude. It seems like, at a minimum, the justice system has ALREADY collapsed.

If, in his service aboard The Enterprise, Jean-Luc makes a fatally-bad choice, would you say he was hoisted by his own Picard?

At the UPS store today, I watched someone get increasingly adamant that their package is perfectly acceptable to ship. A slightly crumpled reused cardboard box with breathing holes and a yellow sticker saying "LIVE BIRD."

Epstein File Releases

It took almost a week to mirror, process, and generate gallery thumbnails, but Epstein Data Sets 9–12 are now on the mirror. That is A LOT of data.
