  1. That got a loud guffaw out of me.
  2. I'm not sure if anyone else caught the comment, but the giant dude with the goofy hair conducting Milchick's review stated it was his monthly performance review. Talk about micromanagement. And then there was Natalie practically screaming in anguish through her (big, beautiful, and deeply expressive) eyes for Milchick to chill tfo when he started asking her uncomfortable questions. It's like she's terrified that their conversation was being recorded.
  3. @NeverMarryAStripper @Ghost of NMAS What's going on here?
  4. I imagine a lot of these screenshots are being copied directly from one of a few subreddits. I believe, but not certain, that I've seen at least one of them explicitly state blocking out names is a requirement to be posted in order to prevent anyone from getting doxxed. It makes sense if you want to ensure no one gets hunted down (with the risk of mistaken identity occurring) and harrassed/hurt.

  6. Holy shit, Sir Paul! That was wonderful.
  7. Getting dusty seeing Paul Simon at this age. I don't think I've seen him in forever.
  8. Problem with that time-frame is women had the right to choose after 1973. So, if we're going with that decade, it could only be a small window.
  9. What were those little baby formula/jizz jar-looking things outie Mark was drinking from? And what's up with his cough? Both reintegration related?
  10. Listen to this man; he's a doctor.

  12. I'm only two episodes into this, but The Decameron is funny as fuck. It's set in Medieval Italy on an estate outside of Florence where people are vacationing to get away from the plague in the big city. Oh, it's got one of the Derry Girls chicks and the tall goofy chick from Sex Education.

  14. Either way, I'm going full ecowarrior.
  15. Why are you surprised? They're GERM-ans, after all.
  16. I'm about 99% sure the vast majority of the kids catching the measles are children of Mennonite adults, who likely also weren't immunized as children growing up in Mexico. I suppose they could ultimately have been when they ended up relocating from Chihuahua state to West Texas, but I would tend to think they'd have to be. Honestly, though, I don't have a firm handle on their immigration/residence status. Regardless, there will also undoubtedly be some unvaccinated non-Mennonite kids who will soon (or already are) become exposed and fall ill. It's all so pointless and stupid that this is even a topic of conversation one-quarter of the way through the 21st Century, but here we are wallowing in mud and manure like fucking Medieval peasants.
  17. First two episodes of Season 3 have dropped.
  18. This tracks. President Musk makes all the big decisions while First Lady Trump redecorates the White House.
  19. The I.R.S. is expected to lay off thousands, starting as soon as next week. The Internal Revenue Service is preparing to lay off thousands of employees as soon as next week, according to three people familiar with the matter, as the Trump administration pushes to dramatically shrink the size of the federal work force. The Office of Personnel Management, the federal government’s human resources department, ordered agencies across the government this week to terminate probationary employees, who are relatively new to their positions and do not enjoy as much job protection. It was unclear on Friday exactly how many I.R.S. employees would be affected by the order. An I.R.S. spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment nor did a spokesman for the Treasury Department. A sudden drop in the number of employees at the I.R.S. could interfere with the agency’s work to process millions of Americans’ tax returns. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg News last week that the department, which oversees the I.R.S., would limit changes until after tax season ends in the spring. β€œSo I don’t imagine anything’s going to go on at the I.R.S. until then or beyond,” he said. β€œWe’re in the middle of the tax-filing season right now.” The I.R.S. has dramatically grown its work force in recent years, reaching roughly 100,000 employees, after the Biden administration pushed to revitalize the beleaguered agency. Republicans have long attacked the additional I.R.S. personnel as villains who harass middle-class taxpayers, with President Trump targeting the agency for an extended hiring freeze and pushing to repurpose some of its agents to help with immigration enforcement. Elon Musk’s team of young software engineers and cost-cutters have also taken an interest in the agency. A member of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Gavin Kliger, arrived at the I.R.S. headquarters on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.
  20. The etymology is a little muddled, but the name Henry is likely the best modern cognate for 'Amerigo' in English. But since the name has been feminized to America, Henrietta (or maybe Harriet) hits closer to the mark. So, really, we should pick one of those two and go with that instead. Personally, I'm more fond of the latter and would go with the United States of Harriet and, therefore, it's also her gulf now and the whiteness of that name couldn't be more obvious.
  21. Meanwhile, VP JV just finished haranguing Germany's government for not collaborating with Nazis.
  22. It seems JV is doing a bang-up job at pissing off our closest allies while supporting Europe's far-right. Two quick updates from his appearance in Munich:
