“Shock journalism” my ass. When “Apathos” says “OK, I am an atheist” he is saying precisely the same thing as Orlove said; why is his statement tolerable but Orlove’s is in some way bad? What kind of double standard is that?

“There is no god...”

“It left me feeling traumatized, man, I ain’t gonna lie,” Kennedy said. “You get nervous. You get even more nervous once you see the police.”

Autodesk used to be my #1 top favorite software company. I used to have a bumper sticker on my car that read “(I ♥ LISP)“ and that was AutoLISP I was talking about. But over the last ten or fifteen years using AutoCAD turned from more like fun and games than work, into a horrible ordeal that made one of the happiest…

The fact that the price of one food item in one store went up the very day Biden got in, before the Democratic Party had passed even one item of welfare legislation, clearly indicates that the 40% price hike was motivated maybe by Republican butt-hurt, or maybe by transient market conditions, but whatever else, not by…

It’s hard for manufacturers of any established product to break into a big foreign market. But just as the Detroit big three made a huge opening for Japanese car manufacturers in the 60s by accelerating planned obsolescence, the American big farm vehicle manufacturers are currently opening the gates and laying down…

I once went to a Toyota dealership in Tampa to buy a brand new Corolla. Since I learned to drive in a car with a stick-shift and all the cars I had owned previously for the preceding twenty years had stick shifts I was looking for a Corolla with a stick-shift - rare, I know, but there were a hundred Corollas on the…

If the new brand’s logo lacks the Pleiades, I’m gonna be pissed.

Do your windshield wipers chatter
On the windshield overnight?
If Jalponik says “don’t do it”
do you raise them up in spite?
Do they slam into your windscreen
Leaving cracks both left and right?
Do your windshield wipers chatter
On the windshield overnight?

Sure! One of the few giant essential industries in the world where the U.S. is a leading player is farming. So naturally a bunch of manufacturers with control over a handy choke point are going to destroy it in the interest of short-term profit. It’s the American Way.

Don’t be so fast to judge, Ms. Robinson! This could all be an unfortunate misunderstanding! Maybe the NYC Museum of Modern Art is fixing to lend White on White to the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and they’re looking for someone who is an expert on the Russian Suprematist movement.

I love that picture. Imagine the middle of the spooooky night and a branch whacks against the roof “bump! bump! bump!” like footsteps and she thinks “The home invaders have invaded my home! Betcha it’s Antifa™!” So then, naturally, she goes to grab a gun. She’s holding one gun by the barrel. Meanwhile the other four…

Then the burglars just take the whole cabinet. Happened to a guy I work with.

Poodles are the second-best kind of dogs. They don’t deserve a poodle.

“This week we’ll perish.”

SPELLING IS FOR PUSSEYS, YOU &#^@% LIBS!

There’s a Whataburger in Tallahassee! Next time I visit my sister I’ll have to hit their drive-through.

I’ve never drank a beer in the shower. I don’t like drinking before sunset, so I think I’m going to put off taking a shower until this evening and give it a try.

Yeah, it’s like when they replaced the lift station up the street, so it no longer periodically fails and overflows. The negative absence of that stench is a positive good.

Some day maybe some manufacturer will make an EV with an easily swapped or upgraded battery pack. Whoever does this, however, will be a “disrupter,” as Tesla was. Right now, when an EV is an income-class signifier and an upper-middle-class status object, I’m pretty sure all current EV manufacturers absolutely don’t…
