For the last time, there’s not going to be a Civil War II. Why? Civil War I was Rich Asshole Group A (slavers) vs. Rich Asshole Group B (tired of competing in markets with Group A and their free labor).

Apparently “Cheerios” means different things in different parts of the world, because regular Cheerios are about as flavorful as gnawing on my own hair. No, wait, my hair has vague shampoo flavor, so it’s actually tastier.

I’ve gnawed cardboard that compared favorably in both flavor & texture to standard Cheerios. Hell, the Malt-O-Meal knock-off kind, complete with its funny aftertaste, was preferable!

McDonalds is responsible for a surprising amount of fast food and other kitchen automation throughout the decades. Their custom equipment is actually pretty impressive, most of the time.

Come to think of it, while it would be a truly huge gamble, you might just get away with making a dedicated, high-budget WWII movie, just to introduce characters and build a setting... and then take a screaming left turn into Alternate History with the sequel. Maybe even what alt-history fans call “Alien Space Bats”,…

Fresh food of all kinds really is a unique experience we seldom get anymore. Store-bought produce and meat look so fresh thanks to preservatives, refrigeration, dyes, and other trickery that we often forget that the cow to whom our steak belonged probably died weeks ago, and those peppers or tomatoes may have been…

Nixon’s original War on Drugs may not have been the first shot, but it was definitely part of the first action. Everything the GOP has done since has been a deliberate effort to undermine democracy, ensure their wins regardless of who votes what way, to bring back or shore up the rule of ONLY old, rich, white men from…

It’s the oldest straw man in the business.

Blame Obama or whomever for the hire if you want.  The bottom line is that FEMA has bosses who are supposed to be the oversight for shit like this, long before the FBI has to get involved, and certainly long before a bunch of hick nobodies steals $1.8 billion in tax money and leaves millions of American citizens to…

The minute someone with a shred of integrity gets to the White House, Fox News’ broadcasting license should be revoked on Day 1, at 8:01 AM.

I’m with you. It totally varies by preparation / presentation.

I’m so sick of the plutocrats of the American Right exploiting the tragedy of Venezuela’s horrific collapse for anti-socialist propaganda.

Plot twist: it turns out to be a groundhog kidney.

File under: “You literally cannot make this shit up”

There are a bunch of things wrong with that analogy. Let’s start with the dogged insistance that we’re talking about “contractors”, not employees. Mutineers are crew aboard a ship, who naturally can’t go anywhere if they want to stop being crew, until and unless the ship docks. So they’re much more analogous to…

Good find. Thanks. Cripes, though. 1 per month or less? That sounds like tobacco smoking figures, or what I’d expect out of them, not a sugary drink. I mean, if it’s a candy bar, or 2 or 3 candy bars’ equivalent... does that mean eating a candy bar a month puts you 1% closer to the grave?

Its too bad there isn’t more on more moderate levels of consumption, like 2 servings per week instead of per day.  We’re finally starting to see real data like that about alcohol (and it isn’t good, with the studies showing moderate consumption being healthier than teetotaling being deeply flawed, apparently), but not…

Everything bad Trump has ever done is already public knowledge.  When you’re that rich, you can simply pay to have people vouch for you that it’s all untrue, and get rid of any hard evidence that would count as far as prosecution is concerned.  Or you just keep it quiet long enough for the Statute of Limitations to…

1.) Oyster (the little piece of dark meat in the corner of the thigh, tucked into its own recess in the bone)

If I have full administrator rights on my profile, why does every version of this say “page not available”? This setting is not accessible no matter what I do...
