My favorite one of these unconscious linguistic rules is expletive infixation. We say “fan-fucking-tastic” but “fanta-fucking-stic” sounds completely wrong.

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

George W. Bush

Same vibes.

1. You shall have no other gods before me.

2. You shall not make for yourselves any idol.

3. You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God.

4. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.

5. Honor your father and your mother.

6. You shall not murder.

7. You shall not commit adultery.

8. You shall not steal.

9. You shall not give false testimony.

10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, wife, or property.

He is 10 for 10 as far as I can tell.

I listen to podcasts while driving using Amazon music. They recently disabled the ability to fast forward over ads using the steering wheel buttons via Android Auto. You can only fast forward now through the full phone app. Someone is going to get in a car accident because of this.

It is a virtual certainty that at some point a meteor large enough to wipe out all multicellular life on the planet will strike the Earth. It is an absolute certainty that the Sun will eventually burn out leaving the planet uninhabitable. Something else might wipe out our species long before either of these things happen, but it’s not a bad idea to have another inhabited planet or two as a backups.

Along the same lines as Discworld and Hitchhikers Guide, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The Amazon tv adaptation is excellent as well.

“The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” is what I always recommend from Heinlein. I feel like this one in particular has stood up conceptually and thematically over time. AI, space colonialism, predatory capitalism, class revolution. It all feels very relevant.

Someone must have had a concrete squirrel sculpture in their yard that this guy mistook for prey.

Would you really trust podiatrists or proctologists who were in it just for the love of the game?

This means that the bill will have to be passed through reconciliation which means that they will have to strip all the extra stuff out that isn’t about money. That means no anti-trans stuff and no election interference stuff. And they might not even have enough votes to get it done that way.

Any monopoly that is too big and important to be broken up needs to be nationalized.

Good. We can seal the doors, cut the power, and leave him and his cronies to rot in there forever.

Karrot is a used item app that has a feature where you take a picture of an item and it IDs the item and tells you what it’s worth. It’s pretty impressive. It could ID my houseplants better than some dedicated plant ID apps I’ve used. It’s not great with one of a kind items, but otherwise it’s surprisingly accurate.

His name is Hannibal Barka and he is a poodle/Aussie cattle dog mix. He’s an affectionate little cuddle bug and can jump like a kangaroo.

I would say that is comparing personal identity to a medical definition, two independent and separate concepts.

Personally, I look at people pointing this out like I look at people that feel the need to point out to others that a woman has breast implants. It’s her choice to do what she wants to her own body and pointing it out makes you look like a rude asshole.
