I am still REALLY hoping they’re taking a lot of time because there’s tons of stuff to parse through, and they want to make sure they’ve dotted their I’s and crossed the fuck outta their T’s before they reveal anything lest they blow it and get accused of witchhunting.

He doesn’t say “I love you”, or even call her his WIFE. It’s “our first lady”, like she’s another cabinet member.

He never said whose jobs!

If you had an overtorqued bolt made of martian dust that you had to remove with a wrench made of martian dust, which would give first?

O’Reilly is the Pence to my Hannity-Trump, but I’ll take what I can get.

I’m actually watching Netflix with the captions on right now. I can hear fine, but I find some movies have poor sound mixing/balance wherein the loud moments become overbearing when the dialogue is at an adequate volume. So I also leave them on all the time.

Nothing against your mom, but I wonder how she would like “60 years of liberal damage” to women’s rights rolled back on her.

As soon as I saw the headline (and before reading the article) I googled that yo-yo prank video. Still hilarious. And I should’ve known it would’ve been referenced in this article.

She certainly has. Tasteful/subtle though, I wouldn’t have suspected it without seeing the old video.

I want to submit my guess before I read down through the comments so apologies if this has already been mentioned, though really who cares because I’m so deep in the greys at this point hardly anyone will see this comment:

It’ll also allow them to argue there’s no connection to Russia so drop it already, you lost, QED. From all initial appearances, this was a really boneheaded move.

The thought of anchoring a paddleboard to the ocean floor thousands of feet below it gives me vertigo something awful.

Congrats Jim! That is very cool.

He’s the type of boss I absolutely loathe -- someone who absolutely refuses to take the time to understand or digest an issue, but interrupts you halfway through your first sentence to rush to the ending (which he’s already decided in his head anyway).

Hot damn, that’s a lot more than I would’ve guessed. I didn’t think she had that much pull, or name recognition. Maybe she’s on a TV show I don’t know about, I only know her web series and standup.

Oh FUCK OFF SEAN, why don’t you go grow your hairline a little lower onto your forehead

In a related matter: does anyone know the status of the rumored general strike for Feb 17 (this Friday)? My Facebook feed, which had scattered discussion of it weeks ago, has been totally quiet on the topic in the remaining days leading up to it. Was that idea tabled in favor of the women’s strike or is it “on”?

Nuts, did I just poison my Facebook ad algorithm by visiting that shop?

Speaking of ridiculously expensive disasters, this is an entertaining read (well, if you enjoy science explainers) from a strutural engineer on the complexity of building that wall.

Remember how thrilling it was to check the news in the month leading up to the election, when it was growing increasingly certain that Hillary was going to win? I was devouring multiple news sites every day. Now I feel like I have to mentally steel myself before checking the news. Thinking back on that pre-election…
