Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd!

I made myself a mnemonic: WICK.

It stands for Wallet, Information device (phone), Cup (I have a habit of leaving my cup of coffee places), Keys.

It’s very helpful to stand at my front door think “WICK” and know, not just think, I’ve got all of my essentials.

He does a lot of things! Some of them moderately well!

Bonus: Rise of the -leighs:

The only thing I can think of is that it’s implying that as you get smarter you find cavemen more attractive and consider modern humans to be ugly.

This looks like if the When Day Breaks SCP decided to start having bike races.

If only the rest of the US could have made it as explicit as Vermont did:

No person ought, or of right can be compelled, to attend any religious worship, or erect, or support any place of worship, or maintain any minister, contrary to the dictates of his conscience.

Woah Momma!

I like that Romero is bypassing LRG

Is there something wrong with LRG that we should know?

“Drenched from head to toe in the blood of your opponent, you stand over their crumpled body.”

“Sweet! I loot the corpse. What do you I find?”

“A small note: ‘Note to self: get cure for horrible blood plague.’”

“…fuck.”

Liquid War was awesome. One of my favorite things about it was that you could make your own maps using black and white bitmaps.

I’ve been meaning to try that game where you play a hole that gets bigger by devouring everything.

If you believe that laws forbidding gambling, sale of liquor, sale of contraceptives, requiring definite closing hours, enforcing the Sabbath, or any such, are necessary to the welfare of your community, that is your right and I do not ask you to surrender your beliefs or give up your efforts to put over such laws. But remember that such laws are, at most, a preliminary step in doing away with the evils they indict. Moral evils can never be solved by anything as easy as passing laws alone. If you aid in passing such laws without bothering to follow through by digging in to the involved questions of sociology, economics, and psychology which underlie the causes of the evils you are gunning for, you will not only fail to correct the evils you sought to prohibit but will create a dozen new evils as well.

Pulaski’s “duty station”:

Asteroids are nature’s way of asking “How’s that space program coming along?”

When unrolled it might say “KICK OUT THE JAMS!”

Never listened to OA, but Strict Scrutiny is one I listen to for Supreme Court news and analysis.

Variety is the spice of life.

Opossums are one of those creatures that remind you just how much of evolution is driven by the rule of “good enough.” Sure, they could have evolved to have more wrinkles on their brains, or the ability to cross the road without getting crushed, or to not look like an old scrub brush that’s way past its replacement date, but they didn’t need to, because the way they are is good enough!
