Jeb son George P. Bush tries and fails twice to post the phrase "raining fire"

How many spells can a spell czech check, if a spell czech could spell cheque?

Vice obtained Larry Flynt's "absolutely wild" FBI file

It’s one of my favorite quotes ever. Up there with any of the founding fathers. That’s how I view the purpose of many laws and civic institutions. I even use a modified version to explain why Black Lives Matter is important to everyone: “If the law will protect the most disadvantaged, then it will protect all of us.” People immediately understand what the implications of the opposite mean.

This happy seal sounds like a synthesizer

The Seal Bass Blep! Hey ho, let’s go! Hey ho, let’s go! Hey ho, let’s go! Hey ho, let’s go! They’re swimming in a straight line They’re going through a tight wind The pups are losing their minds The Seal Bass Blep They’re eating up the herring Just look at 'em, they’re staring Their moves are really daring The Seal Bass Blep Hey ho, let’s go! Bite 'em on the back now Where they’ve swam I don’t know They’re all fished out and ready to go

Tardigrades can survive being shot out of guns at up to 2,000 mph

This is excellent news for my plans for a high-speed on-demand tardigrade delivery service.

Automating CEOs is more fiscally responsible than automating labor

If automation isn’t practical or desirable you could obviously also save a lot of money by outsourcing your next CEO to India or China or wherever instead of outsourcing your labor/production (or Executive Assistant) there. It’s not like those countries don’t have lots of talented MBAs.

Florida Governor signs new bill that forces all public schools K-12 to hold silence "to be able to pray"

We had prayer in school when I was a child in a very rural part of the state. No one was “forced” to, one person in particular didn’t, but me knowing that once person didn’t is really the point, I think. I don’t remember a single other person from my second grade class, but I remember him. It isn’t getting kids to pray, or promoting religion, it is a way to single out the people who aren’t like-minded. It’s about obedience to a culture and identifying the other. Same with going to church an…

New study: Pfizer and Moderna vaccines' immune response may last a lifetime

It’s just as important to get vaccine to people in Africa, Latin America, Asia etc as to people in USA. It doesn’t matter where a mutation appears, if it can bypass vaccinations it will spread all over the world.

Continuing coronavirus happenings (Part 3)

A beautiful thread, well worth reading (no, really): Okay, so I’ve had to say this to at least three separate people in the last 24 hours; I’m thinking maybe some of you might need to hear it as well, my beloveds. We are in the second year of a worldwide pandemic and have largely been betrayed by our governments. The earth itself is frying. Rich people and their corporations are squeezing us, intent on murderous profit. The problem is not YOU, my beloved. Try to consider that the problem …

Do any Republicans actually know what critical race theory is? Unsolved Mysteries (MAGA Edition) investigates

The article describes how CRT is a means of understanding how racism still shapes all our institutions (especially legal ones) and benefits white people. Europeans, settling in colonies around the world, violently appropriated land in places where they did not come from, committing genocide against the people who lived there - which still shapes the lives of the people who survived that genocide. It also made those people into a single race that were regrettably wiped off the face of the earth (…

Citing fair play, USATF leaves Sha’Carri Richardson off the US Olympic team

Members of American Olympics governing bodies should push for a new sport in tying one’s hands behind one’s own back. These powerful people have decades of experience claiming self-imposed helplessness.
