Burly chap plus one.
Awwww.
Baby chameleons.
Chia Pet of note.
Political axes.
An aptly named tool. After all, it’s not straight.
It’s amazing the stuff you find if you spend enough time following links.
David, did you cover this when it happened in real life?
And finally, because you clearly need to know, a “fun fact about me.”
Funnier than when pagans tried to explain to me why astrology was real…and tarot…and auras…and crystals…
Peak irony: Marxist historian worries that many people believe things that are demonstrably false.
I fear this isn’t a piss take.
The Aztecs were pioneers of gender equality.
It was only a matter of time.
The guy at the weird elbow link did not appear to consider the possibility of our ancestor hominid females carrying an infant that is too weak/unable to cling to her.
Burly chap plus one.
Is he married? Asking for a friend.
Morning, all.
Is he married? Asking for a friend.
Heh. I hear ten thousand women buying wedding dresses.
In other news…
The word “fatphobia” is deployed, but you could just call these things reasons to lose weight.
Well-adjusted.
“You’re offensive.” Do note the use of the word consideration.
A miracle breakthrough in child relocation technology.
It needs some fine-tuning.
Burly chap plus one.

*looks at husband*
*buys wedding dress*

Pah, mere details. “Off to school, Billy…”

Gentlepeople, I give you the ACLU:
“The [privilege] whether or not to [house small citizens] is central to [the state’s] well-being and dignity…
When the [duly appointed party committee] controls that decision for [citizens], [they are] being treated [fairly].”
Reprising a powerful and timely quote about the need for abortion by famous Orwellian jurist Ruth Beta Ginsburg.
Unfortunately the ACLU couldn’t reprint the actual quote, seeing as how RBG was such a notable hate-spewing transphobe.

“You’re offensive.”
The aggressive young lady should spend more time in class learning that “multi-” as in multi-cultural does NOT mean “mono-” as she seems to think it does.
Meanwhile, at “Scientific American”, the acronym JEDI and phallic light sabers are problematic.

What caught my eye was the fact the piece apparently required five authors. Such is its heft.

Some competition….

The most violent technology ever invented.
From the linked article an example of violence is given.
I am fairly certain that “certain” isn’t certain of itself then, the concept itself is bananas, and our interviewee probably is not a top banana among masters of English.
Some competition….

Wanna come dress shopping?
Actual LOL.
Heh. I hear ten thousand women buying wedding dresses.

Also from the linked article: “There’s the Sufi prayer that goes, ‘Lord, increase my bewilderment.’ That is the entirety of the prayer. That’s what I’m after.”
He has achieved it. Time to commit him to the Indiana State Home for the Bewildered.
Remember all those dopers you knew when you were young? Who would utter the most amazing imbecilities as if they were profound insights?

I thought that looked like Buster Keaton. “Seven Chances”, 1925. If I ever saw it I’ve completely forgotten. So thank you, Ted.
I am sure this is misogynistic.
No comment.

Perhaps it is time for some reciprocity–to treat leftists the way they treat us.
Discarded Chilean ID’s found on the Mexican side of the border. I wonder what they might signify.

Sooner or later, everyone comes around to the idea of helicopters.
It’s Polly Toynbee behind the wall.
My device will prevent the flapping of the breasts.
Wasn’t there an American structural engineer who, some years ago, devised a bra which prevented even the most voluptuous breasts from jiggling, bouncing, or swaying, no matter the conditions or actions, and also was of a material which prevented the showing of erect nipples exposed to cold? I understand that he more or less disappeared on leaving hospital aftr he had demonstrated the garment to a large crowd of men.

Sounds fair.

“Steepness detected. || Related, you may wish to tread carefully.”
And we’re supposed to pretend that foreigners aren’t crazy.
“Marxist historian worries that many people believe things that are demonstrably false.”
That’s the second time in as many days I’ve seen the word “demonstrably” used without any accompanying demonstration.
Modern dashboards are models of poor design.
I need two main things from the display behind the steering wheel — my current speed indicated by a single number, and the amount of gas remaining, again given by a single number. A distant third is the outside air temperature. Everything else is mostly or entirely ignored.
Further, one of those numbers is already on the heads-up display, reflected off of the windshield.
Why, then, all the clutter and complication? I’m not driving an Maserati MC20 here.
The thrill of 1980s dashboards.
No first-gen Lincoln Town Car? Those VFTs were, as the kids say, lit.
…a “fun fact about me.”
These people do not know what fun is.
Chris Pratt was announced to be the voice of Mario in the new animated movie, and the memes are writing themselves.
I need two main things from the display behind the steering wheel…
Various warning lights, too. (Remember when all cars displayed tach, engine temp, battery charge?) And all should be clearly visible regardless of the driver’s height.
