It was Bigfoot. I don't see why you can't understand that.

Reading some important research from the only 24/7 news source brave enough to tell the dang truth

Screenshot of text over a website header image of blurry trees. The text says “Bigfoot Evidence” in a big font and then (smaller): “World's Only 24/7 Bigfoot News Blog: Encouraging readers to draw their own conclusions from the evidence and arguments.”

Below is the title of an article on a black background: “This Is Why We Can't Find Bigfoot Bones By Shawn - February 20, 2012”

When you’ve got a chance to get the endorsement of a governor who once held a 19% approval rating, you have to move quick. Can’t risk waiting to have a separate press conference from noted unpleasant guy, John Catsimatidis. What if he changes his mind??

Screenshot of an article from May 4, 2009
Headline: 5/4: Paterson Approval Rating: Scraping Bottom?
Article: How low can New York Governor David Paterson’s job approval rating go? Based on the latest Marist Poll numbers, it can still go lower, but not by much!

We don’t know how to build good nicknames like these anymore

By early 1943 submarine commanders across the Pacific saw the Mark 14 as one of the worst weapons of the war, so bad that they were willing to risk court-martial by disengaging the proximity fuse. That still didn’t fix all the problems. The Mark 14’s history “reflects discredit upon both the Bureau of Ordnance and the Naval Torpedo Station, Newport,” said the bureau’s chief, W. H. P. Blandy.

Screenshot of WHP Blandy’s Wikipedia page, which notes his nicknames include "Spike", "Waffle Nose", and "Atomic Playboy"

Extremely rare boat blimp sub chopper combo, wow. Basically the military photo equivalent of a shiny legendary Pokemon (I have not played the games but I believe this comparison to be valid)

I just read about a horrible blimp disaster and it ruled. Bring back blimps lfg

Only if Kamala has Commando-level biceps in it

Screenshot from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s film Commando. He is shiny and shirtless, holding a knife. His biceps are gigantic.

This is why I personally would never hire a “staff philosopher”

The commission’s staff philosopher, Daniel Wikler, a professor at Harvard and the first staff ethicist for the World Health Organization, told me that he didn’t think the commission’s theory of death was supported by the scientific facts it cited. “I thought it was demonstrably untrue, but so what?” he said. “I didn’t see a downside at the time.”

I started this a few weeks ago and got annoyed by the super bulky yarn so I put it aside. Figured I’d put in the 45 minutes needed to finish it today starting at 5:01 pm. Really clearing the knitting decks over here
