I mean, what the Hell have we been doing for the last 3 years? Journalists, historians, and other folks have really been ringing this bell since 2016, and started ringing it louder on January 6, 2021. You can only scream the truth so loudly, and hand-wringing that people "aren't talking about it enough" when it has been said publicly by high-profile folks for years seems disingenuous and written to generate clicks.

Yeah, we know. We keep saying it. Stop trying to make it seem like you're the only one who has the chutzpah to say it out loud.

A reminder to everyone that Costco sells caskets: https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html

And every funeral home legally has to allow you to purchase the casket elsewhere per the FTC: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/ftc-funeral-rule (That doc also has a lot of other useful tips in it.)

Or in Iowa in 2023......

I don't like having the root causes of my mental health issues put on display for everyone to see (though "month" or "year," or maybe "lifetime" might be more accurate...)

That seems like a lot of work for not that much more payoff than just hiring a couple of meth heads to do the same thing.

That's now in my Google search history, so thanks for that...

No love for "H"? (I know it didn't appear until the Gameboy game, but I basically exclusively play Contra III, so...)

I mean, Mark had to go first, so we can give him some slack. And Luke isn't a worse writer, just a bit of a pretentious one. John is definitely the best storyteller, even if he does go...off the rails a bit. And Paul didn't write nearly as much as we give him credit/blame for.

Ummm, no....

Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN, Rupert Murdoch owns Fox (and does not own Warner Bros Discovery).

In the US, universities have a significant number of graduate degrees along with undergraduate degrees while colleges offer (almost) exclusively undergraduate degrees. My alma mater became a university shortly before I started because they started offering enough graduate degrees.

This, I think: https://apnews.com/article/elton-john-testifies-for-defense-kevin-spacey-sexual-assault-trial-68c1108bd46e5641bc10d0a5b3ccc785

Short version: the defense brought Elton and his husband to testify that Spacey wasn't at the ball where one of the alleged attacks happened.

I don't think testifing to factual matters (prossibly under subpoena) equates "defending," but what do I know?
