Like, he played one of the worst murderers on Columbo and his insane charisma still made everyone like him.

(Episode warning: You will hear "I Saw The Light" about two too many times upon watching.)

Tell me you have lived under a rock your entire life without telling me you've lived under a rock your entire life.

Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool?! What is happening, why do I smell toast?

You can't do much better than the one for Night Court. (There's an episode of Judge John Hodgman where they break out into an impromptu rendition of it, and it's so great.)

I will be curious how many insurance agents retire after this year.

Everything sounds like utter chaos between the plans still being in flux at this point and the loss of commissions on a bunch of policies.

New Vegas followed by the original.

The Breetai let's play of Fallout 2 is also magnificent. Bends that game into a pretzel, it's so good.

Oh sorry, I misread, they want to file a brief in favor of invading Illinois! Which is still terrible! Because if they endorse Texas invading IL, can OR or CA be far behind

Yeah, “We hate those hippies in the Pacific Northwest, they should be invaded” appears to be more popular than I thought it would be.

This is getting wild.

The states of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and 14 others have just asked for permission to file THEIR amicus brief in IL v. Trump.

The States of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and 14 additional States
respectfully move for leave to submit the attached amicus curiae brief in support of Defendants
and their opposition to Plaintiffs’ requested temporary restraining order and preliminary
injunction. Proposed amici are States with a vested interest in federalism, the relationship between
States and the federal government, and deploying the National Guard. We also each have a vital
interest in supporting the President and Congress in enacting and enforcing valid immigration
laws. Every State has a responsibility to protect our citizens.
The federalization of States’ National Guard units is a matter of profound public
importance, as it directly implicates the delicate balance of power between state and federal
governments—a true cornerstone of Federalism. States generally maintain authority over their
National Guard units, allowing governors to deploy them for state-specific needs, such as disaster
response or public safety. Federalization of state National Guard units without gubernatorial

The kicker for today for me was a bunch of states want to sign on to endorse sending troops into Oregon.

So I should feel really safe when the White House is openly talking about summary executions of citizens, I guess?

He's been in office for a mere 261 days and we're already here.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

That's definitely something I worry about on my commute to work. Driving through the burned-out husk of a city and dodging hellfire.

I mean check it out for yourself, the wide-awake nightmare that is the city we live in:

Agreed! Also if you make a big show about not leaving a tip when dining out, know that the people who are with you are making a note about your character.

Wait... WHAT?

People are not well these days, but I do wonder if giving everyone a "yes, and..." robot that agrees to their wildest impulses is a good idea.

Then again we've also somehow decided instant gambling on anything is a must-have for society. What IS a good idea anyway?

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

The Pikmin fans freaking out about this yesterday were right, though I am very confused what this means for the lore.

In the early games, the planet you land on has human artifacts but there were no people. I think maybe I liked it better as a mystery?
