Can you imagine what it's like to not be cool enough to be a Juggalo?

(Also, these things are great. Easy way to get light into a place without running extension cords. I've had to recharge once in 3 months.)

I'm all for the fall of the American Empire, but take a pass at English, people.

The house I moved into has two brackets for these convenient detachable LED lights, but one was missing. I had to search around for what they're called to find a replacement and... LONGYIFA from SYMYNELEC?

What are we even doing here, people?

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

This 'The Bear'-esque dining experience puts you in the center of the kitchen chaos

At Speakeasy Society's 'Family Meal,' curse words are thrown, recipes are slandered and it all makes for fun, irresistible drama.

Completely in keeping with how everybody say Jesus die, but then he came back as a guy who looked so different that all his best friends thought it was somebody else.

Never been as crazy about Nick Cave after he learned how to sing in the late 90s.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Jesus, A'ja Wilson. Don't know that I've seen a player since Jordan who was so able to make a team unbeatable by force of will.

As you fight ICE in your neighborhoods, always look for potentially positive outcomes to counterbalance your anger and despair. For me this continues to be meeting more neighbors, talking to more neighbors, and finding that others close by have also been fighting in ways I was unaware of.

Simple rule: if a word looks English, pronounce it like you're French. If a word looks French, pronounce it like you're Irish.

Because their base is so provincial, they literally don't know who he is, so they can play the "DEI hire" card.
