My old roommate sucked. His favorite band was a Canadian thrash metal band called 3 Inches of Blood. I assumed they also sucked. Many years later I actually listened to them and they’re amazing. In the meantime they had broken up.

Happy ending, though. They did a reunion show last year and I was able to go see it!

I saw them live one time and was blown away. Then I listened to their albums and was kinda underwhelmed.

If you’re burning a steak that bad, you deserve the cancer.

Awesome. Hopefully we can gather some info over the next few years, maybe gain some insight into the creation of our own moon. Fun coincidence that this is coming out at the same time as the Artemis II mission.

Also nice to see my Alma mater in the news this time of year for something other than our MBB team sucking.

Request. If y’all make another Deutsch alternative to Coke, can you please make something better than Fanta? Bitte schön?

I went over to my old boss’s house one time and saw a car under a cover. He explained that it was a custom ultralight racer built off the chassis to a 1967 Lotus Europa. I was blown away and said that I hadn’t realized he was a car guy.

He laughed and said “I’m not. Don’t go on ebay drunk.”

Every single republican president in my lifetime has left office to a recession. Yet the average person is so brainwashed by corporate media that almost everybody thinks that conservatives are good for the economy.

That’s because they burn it. It’s a branding thing. Massive companies demand uniformity in flavor. McDonald’s puts huge amounts of effort into making sure that a big mac in Maine tastes exactly the same as a big mac in LA.

Coffee beans are unpredictable, though. Beans from the same farm from the same crop can taste different month to month. So to make it uniform they overroast (burn) the beans.

My favorite is when you just put tape in a box shape on the floor and they sit in it.

Miene lieblings ist wenn man Klebeband auf dem Boden setzt, und die Katze da sitzt.

(Tut mir lead. Meine Deutsch ist ein bisschen scheisse.)

They’ll just deport the babies with their mothers. They’ve deported dozens of US citizen infants. Why would they change tack now?

Remember when Charlie Kirk said “No one is American unless I decide they are”? This is the mindset we’re dealing with.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, but the nail that sticks up gets hammered down.

Yeah, but it makes sense if you assume that they’ll only give those visas to white people.

I saw an interview with Joe Mantegna (I think), talking about David Mamet’s dialogue. He said “Everybody always says that he writes the way people talk. Bullshit. People don’t talk in iambic pentameter. He writes the way people wish they could talk.”

Should be a foregone conclusion for anybody who knows the USMCC. Or the Geneva Convention. Or the history of the Nuremberg trials. Or has a modicum of human decency.

So obviously Trump’s goons tried for an indictment.

Hard disagree. I just can’t imagine meeting a person with the same name as my dog. Would I tell the person?

“Mike? Oh, that’s my dog’s name!” just seems kinda rude.

It’s better than naming them people names. The dogs on my block are Kevin, Tony, Doug and Jeff.

I mean, they gotta figure out some way to blame the mom before Baron gets diagnosed.

Russia always amazes me in that they’ve never had a leader who was both competent and sane.

Is anybody surprised anymore? Robert Kraft is a close friend of Trump. He owns the New England Patriots. The Patriots team charter jet randomly showed up in Guantanamo Bay last spring. No explanation.

Unfortunately, a massive number of vaccines are manufactured in America, and this administration has largely stopped shipping them to the rest of the world.
