Time for a discussion of Absement. Unless you are a fan of classical dynamics, a materials scientist, or design PID controllers, you've probably never heard of the term. It's the time integral of displacement, a measure of sustained displacement of an object from a fixed position, SI units of m⋅s.

It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.
Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one!

My wife works in retail and she was just telling me yesterday about how 23 December is 'any old shit' day. They can pull any old unsold stuff out of the stock room and some clueless bloke in a hurry will buy it.

I just watched the entire 60 Minutes Segment and my assessment now is that Bari cancelled it as a show of fealty and because Trump is very sensitive to getting bad press. Everything they said is stuff that was known.

Trump: "I called up the heads of the countries. As an example, France, I spoke to a very good man -- President Macron of France. And I said 'Emmanuel, you have to raise your drug prices.' He said, 'No no no, we will not do that.' I said, 'You have to.'"

At our recent town hall, many of the comments & questions were heavy – so many are struggling to feel safe & make ends meet. Yet some visitors made the evening brighter: Portland’s Frog Brigade.
We’re grateful for all they do lift our spirits, especially in difficult times.

Why is Jeff Landry so eager to resign his spot as governor? Is there something we don't know about?
Trump says he’s appointing Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as “special envoy” to Greenland.
