The Senate’s opposition leader is like “someone should do something about all this lawlessness” and some 55 year old mom in Minnesota who hasn’t voted since 2012 is like “the evildoers will be vanquished with the righteousness of a million patriots!!”

It’s great.

It's only $2,600! If all of ALX Skeets chips in $100, we can buy this thing!

All of you *know* that you want to pilot this lil' guy!

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

For whatever reason, my wife has decided to watch one of the old James Bond films with Sean Connery.

Before she even got to the opening music sequence, she turns to me and says with all seriousness: "Oh, so these old James Bond films were comedies?"
