Just to be clear when people call RFK Jr. a "sex goblin" I assume we all mean he's like those CGI monstrosities from "The Hobbit" and not the sexy sexy guy from "The Labyrinth."

This Simpsons clip also seems apropos for the proposal.

A movie that takes place where you’re from

If anyone has doubts about director Brad Bird's leanings on libertarianism/objectivism I suggest they watch "Tomorrowland," another (sadly much worse) Bird movie about how greatness is stifled by the forces of mediocrity. The end credits even look like they were swiped from an Ayn Rand cover.

Reminds me of a certain song from "Hamilton…"

Gotta get those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.

For anyone curious this is what the "Board of Directors" page on the Coca-Cola company's web site looks like. It… doesn't exactly support the narrative that the company discriminates against white people.

I'd heard this detail before but even so this part of the article is so nuts. Imagine being a serial sex criminal with such a big ego that you invite a muckracking writer to your home, show him photographic evidence of your sex crimes against minors, then ASK him to write about you.

Kudos for finding a suitable alternate meme; I assume that most people (like me) read "UK develops robotic exoskeleton trousers for mobility in space" and immediately thought of these:

My brother’s kids did a full “Batman ‘66 surfing episode”-themed costume ensemble this Halloween and it was glorious.

My kiddo went all in with her Halloween costume this year: Vi from “Arcane: League of Legends.” (I may have helped a bit with the jacket and gauntlets)

I generally enjoy Wired but you gotta admit the magazine's fawning coverage of Elon Musk over the years was a big part of building up the "tech genius" mythology surrounding the guy.

Work in progress: Atlas power gauntlets as worn by Vi in “Arcane: League of Legends” for my daughter’s Halloween costume.

Oh no, Robert Redford isn’t here to protect us this time!

(Full disclosure I never saw that movie but I assume it’s about Redford’s character defending America from a giant bird played by Max Von Sydow)

It always makes me think of the poster art for "The Devil's Double," that 2011 movie about the guy who worked as a body double for psychotic sadist Uday Hussein.

Yes, this is what his own former political director (who quit in disgust) had to say about it. Maybe you know him better than she does, but I kind of doubt it.

It's not "vaguely Nazi-ish." It's a specific SS icon.

Platner's OWN FORMER CAMPAIGN MANAGER Genevieve McDonald had enough and publicly stated that it's ridiculous to claim that he didn't know what the tattoo represented. It's also far from the "only data point" that he's a bigot (see: Reddit posts)

Haha I don’t think the local reporter who interviewed us quite got the concept of her costume…

My wife’s anglerfish costume was a big hit at the Oakland #NoKinge protest today.

Disney kinda sorta did build their own version of that, little waddling robots that walk around the Star Wars part of Disneyland. I think they really wasted an opportunity by not naming them HU-E, DU-E and LU-E.

One of these days I’m going to make a T-shirt with my own version of that “I studied the blade” meme.
