Necessity may be the mother of invention, but its father is laziness. Procrastination is what separates us from the animals.

My current favourite thing is the plucky little Skip Credits popup on The Lowdown.

It's decorum and they all need to watch the original Speak No Evil to see where that leads.
I can’t tell if it’s cowardice or some fucked up sense of decorum that makes no sense in the current environment with this fuckin guy

If you had an employee who constantly bullshitted you, lied about work, then pulled an "aww, shucks" like this they would be out on their ass before lunch.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

Once again, the subtitle on The Big Book of 21st Century US History will be "The Chickens Come Home To Roost."
If I'm understanding this correctly, the man who shot two national guards in DC was a former Afghan child soldier who fought alongside US special forces and in a CIA-supervised unit and later was granted asylum. The word "blowback" comes to mind.

Across the sea,
He brought us pain,
And misery.

Today I am thankful for the fact that we had our Thanksgiving last month so we're not trying to jam one in late November when Christmas is already here.

Ireland has also sent Enoch Burke to prison (after finally finding him) and while not a former leader, he's another one of these right-wing grifters whose notions got the better of him.

This is the same playbook the Trump administration ran in Portland, where DHS officials falsely accused local police of failing to help them (or not arriving quickly enough). Strikes me as a problem that the government lies so freely to the Supreme Court now. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:
