A tale as old as time, or at least as old as written customer complaints, sadly.

I'll see myself out.

Skechers is working miracles with slip-in fur-cuffed boots, apparently.

How are they going to spin around in their chairs with a congratulatory BOO-YAH after the sale or purchase of a customer's wealth and/or soul? WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE BOO-YAHS?!?

Geoffrey Rush in character as Henslowe from the movie "Shakespeare in Love" stating "I don't know, it's a mystery."

It's like he keeps hearing Ermey's voice in his head shouting to show his war face and he can't stop. Crikey.

And this is one of the few circumstances in which I admire him for it.

Literally rewatched this last week, as it's a purchased part of my Prime Video library. Every year when we voted on Best Christmas Movie and someone brought up Diehard, I would bring up The Lion in Winter. I regret nothing.

I think I blocked that fella so fast I almost sprained my mouse hand. Crikey.

I mean, in fairness, he's not wrong to do so. Bonus points if he makes vague bear noises at them so they growl adorably back.

Another good alternate closing sentence for that would have been, of course, "Here's why that's bad for Joe Biden."

"The Accidental Oracle" is clearly your vibe.

This feeds into my conspiracy theory that someone is forcibly changing your screen name without your consent to make you look like a weirdo. Because there's just no other explanation.

And yet speak of baskets of deplorables or people clinging to their guns and they all get the damn vapors like Victorian schoolmarms.

Shared language is all that is best in life. 30 years after a then-high-as-hell gaming buddy tripped on his own lips, we still use "skrong" as the superlative of "strong", like the Three Amigos comparing "infamous" to "famous." Alas, he's passed on, but "skrong" remains. I love that you have this.

Sean Hargreaves just uploaded some intriguing concept art for a cancelled Star Trek project to his portfolio. No other information is given, but most of it features designs for a Starfleet assembly building.

This picture has the filename "sean-hargreaves-set-starfleet-assembly-ext-112321-v10a-sh", which is the only real clue beyond the images themselves.

A more familiar portrayal of Starfleet HQ

The interior of a Starfleet assembly building

The bridge of a starship. Unknown era and kind of hard to pin down.

I've been saying and continue to say that every other sign should read "'Political opposition is not rebellion.' - 7th Cir."

It's easy to stay laser-focused and on-message while still being authentic if you actually believe in your message and it's not just a cynical "what will get me elected today?" ploy.

BeDeeP @bdp501.bsky.social · 8d

"'Political opposition is not rebellion.' - 7th Cir." needs to be on every protest sign, frankly. Or at least every other one.

"Is this what you want, America?" <pictures of cavorting folks in inflatable frog, unicorn, penguin, and dinosaur costumes>

"Well, crap, apparently it is. Forget we asked that question."

And an ecosystem of equally shameless enablers, alas.

Maybe lay off the stuff that comes out of civets? Or did you mean the normal stuff, too? 😆

My go-to for a few years overseas was eggs scrambled with onions and the local hot peppers, served on paratha. So a distant cousin. I could get behind this, depending on the roll.

Vance’s Double Standard: Nazi Jokes Are “Kids Being Kids,” But Mocking Charlie Kirk Gets Your Visa Revoked

JD Vance thinks praising Hitler and talking about putting political enemies into death chambers is harmless “kids being kids,” but criticizing Charlie Kirk is somehow deserving of state-supported punishment. It sure looks like he’s got quite the double standard. Yesterday, Vance defended Young Republican leaders who were caught in leaked chat logs making racist, antisemitic, and pro-Nazi comments, dismissing their behavior as harmless kids being edgy.

Well if it's musk junk, that means it's filled with ketamine right?
