New York to ban smartphones in schools

I understand that people crave the illusion of control over their out-of-control environments; but I’m always puzzled by the genre of people insisting on the vital importance of communication under circumstances where there’s nothing they would be nothing they would be able to do with the information.

Candace Owens pivots to paleontology, calls dinosaurs "absurd"

I’m just amused when their argument ends at “it goes against common sense!” as if “common sense” was something that was reliable even on the human scale in day-to-day matters, much less in all the realms of knowledge where it’s demonstrably wrong.

Brand new ten-story Tokyo condo to be demolished for blocking Mt. Fuji view

Wouldn’t it be easier just to build the mountain a little bit higher?

Lawyer who pooped in a Pringles can has license reinstated

Yeah. Ok, I’m going to go ahead and make this promise now. Hopefully it won’t come back to haunt me. I promise, once I am admitted to the bar, that I will never, ever, hurl any object full of feces anywhere, other than maybe a bag of dog poop into my own trash can, if I’m feeling particularly daring. ETA: Also, I promise to not do that even if I’m never admitted to the bar.

NTSB: Norfolk Southern interfered with derailment investigation

LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP!! Not that this would happen, of course. Corporations are only people when it is convenient for them to be so. Weird, that, eh?

The best place to hide a small safe in your home

I solved this conundrum by living inside a fully updated, mid-century modern bank vault.

Who owns the Moon? The trillion-dollar lunar rush for Helium-3

What a weird rationale. It takes an incredible toll on Earth’s environment and resources to send a substantial amount of mass to the moon. It’s like saying you’re going to fly a private jet to China for dinner to avoid the wasteful single-use containers that come with take-out.

An angry Lauren Boebert compares Trump to Jesus

If you read your Bible, the evidence that Donald Trump is Jesus is compelling: the wise men brought Jesus gold; Donald Trump is also very fond of gold. Jesus was a carpenter; earlier in his life, Donald Trump was in the construction business Jesus washed away the sins of the world; many people suspect Donald Trump of being a money-launderer Jesus threatened people with being cast into the Lake of Fire; Donald Trump liked to tell people “You’re fired!” Jesus quieted the storm (Mark 4:35-41); Do…

The MAGA faithful offer opinions on Kamala Harris

They may be clowns, but they’re clowns who vote. We have to do the same.

And what does happen if you’re bitten by a radioactive good person? “My Jimmy Sense is tingling! Someone needs shelter!”

Exit polls showed opposition easily defeating Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, but he has declared victory anyway

I don’t know who else has upcoming national elections, but those of us in the States need to pay attention to every aspect of how he’s attempting to pull this off. Why? Oh, I dunno……

Pearl-clutching Pro-Trumpers file a complaint about a thing that didn't happen

The evidence is still everywhere, hundreds of years later, that this country was founded by people who were so uptight the Brits kicked them out.

Thank you, Dahling!

Please do not blow into the Nintendo cartridge

When i was an accordion repair apprentice, the head repairperson taught me not to blow into a reed to clear it, because the moisture in my breath (not spit) could condense & eventually cause rust.

Please do not blow into the Nintendo cartridge

This is the absolute best possible start to any sentence in the history of forever, and I thank you for that.

B'Bye Trump! Many in GOP — including former Trump staffers — join "Republicans for Harris"

Y’know, I’d rather accept their support than slam them for being part of the problem for the last 40 years. Right now, they’re not the immediate problem. Think of them like chemotherapy drugs. They’re fucking awful poison, they make people vomit, and they’re toxic as hell. You never want to see them. But you also fear you might die from cancer without them. So anything that normalizes the rejection of Trump in the eyes of his followers is a good thing. Anything that visibly shrinks his tumoro…

JD Vance tries to blame "Magic: The Gathering" as the reason girls thought he was a creepy teen

So he’s admitting that his political pattern was established as a teenager. Instead of being genuine and promoting personal interests, he’s always been willing to change in order to ingratiate himself with people he finds my be advantageous to him. Good to hear. This is probably one of the most honest things he’s ever said publicly.

Once-popular Hercules actor making everyone cringe by demanding VP Harris prove her Blackness with racist slur
