As if I don’t watch this movie enough throughout the year already (I try to alternate between this one and Muppet Treasure Island)… Time to fire it up again. Merry Christmas, Lemmy! 🎄🎅⛄

I’m not good at metaphors… Does this mean he’s using “X” to shield us from free speech?

I heard a factoid about that on the NPR News Hour this morning, but I missed the exact qualifications, so I found this article from Newsweek that gives much more precise info from the FBI and The Violence Protection Project:

It’s definitely rare, but has happened before.

And you just know they’re sending copies of all your poop data to China, too, for some reason. Probably something to do with “improving targeted advertising,” but we know better.

Had my first big job interview in years just a few days ago. I was, at most, 50% mentally present in the moment, and the other 50% of my brain was dedicated to suppressing thoughts like this or being prepared to evoke a genuine sounding laugh so I could pass it off as a joke. Nailed the interview, though.

You’re stuck in the “defensive driving” mindset – You gotta go offensive to keep safe. The Chevy Stretch offers significantly greater total mass than even large trucks, and a lower center of gravity. Now you’ll be the one crossing the center line, striking fear into the hearts of the sensible!

Nice. Congrats! Similar take here – my fiancee and I recently found a vintage setting acquired from an estate sale, plus a stone of her choosing (Labradorite), at a local family-owned jeweler. We ended up with a much more substantial and unique piece, spent way less money, limited our involvement in a predatory trade, and we’re gonna put that savings toward a nice experience together.

So shit-faced he was piss-pantsed.

Google “metal movie poster (title-of-movie-here)” and you’ll find a bunch of online stores that sell images printed on some kind of metal, often with a graphic border for “a distressed/vintage look.”

I’m fairly certain these are the result of some script that grabs popular images, adds the border, and creates the listing. Also, the border probably helps them evade some reverse-image-searches performed by the actual artists/copyright holders.

Shoutout to The Chats for helping to finally identify(?) Mr. Democracy Manifest.

Constrictive criticism and pointers is how we get better

Yeah, please. Why be deceptive? It serves no one.

Better yet, take responsibility for your own pleasure. Play an active role in getting what you want out of the act. Communicate. Why wouldn’t you?

Check out Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t (aka Joey Santore, aka Tony Santoro). He’s been a vocal advocate for the “kill your lawn” / natural landscaping crowd for a while, and also I just really enjoy him.

He worked on/is working on a cable TV show called “Kill Your Lawn” too, but it’s not super widely available. You can find some episodes of that on YouTube as well.

Been a lot of “demon” talk from him lately. Tucker’s literally turning into Alex Jones before our very eyes.

I can’t be sure this was the primary use-case that the AI inventors envisioned, but it’s hard to argue that it’s not successful at this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Hey, would you look at that – Kamala Harris, right at the top, just as I suspected… Joe Biden, yep, that tracks… Wow, ALL of the Clintons, how about that? And not surprisingly, Donald J. Trump is definitely nowhere to be found on the Epstein List. Welp, there ya have it everybody.”
