OK, yes, “Schrödinger’s Blockade” is better.

I was profoundly skeptical when someone in my household brought home some “Cheese Storage Bags” that appeared to be made of wax paper. They cost around a dollar apiece, and since there’s really no way to clean them, they’re pretty much disposable. Insane scam, I thought. Someone just loves shopping, I thought.

But no, they absolutely worked, hard cheeses keep in the deli drawer way better in those bags. In the past I had tried wrapping cheese in wax paper or parchment paper, with little success. The stupid cheese bags were so much better. I can’t explain. Still mad about it. Also we need more cheese bags.

We’re changing the name to “Schrödinger’s Strait”

It is a pastiche of [thing], more than an actual [thing] itself.

This is exactly what “AI” does, this is precisely what it’s for

I know that there’s a lot of crazy to unpack, here, but can we talk about the grass for a second? Just how much soda did he pour on his lawn? To make him think of soda as some kind of grass killer?

Court orders that the regime doesn’t like are meaningless.

We defined cash savings as checking accounts that people consider savings, savings accounts, money market accounts, brokerage/investment accounts (nonretirement), certificates of deposit (CDs) and cash at home.

I first saw these comments here

These aren’t charges they’re dismissing. They’re dismissing convictions. Dismissing a conviction sounds a lot like a pardon. I didn’t know it was legally possible for a prosecutor to do that.

These people were found guilty through due process. Now the DOJ is re-writing history.

This is going to wind up granting AI agents a piecemeal, half-assed, legal-fiction version of “personhood,” like corporations have. The AIs will wind up with freedoms like: They can spend all the money they want, that’s “free speech.”

And the fleshy unfortunates among us still won’t have a right to a living wage, to medical care, etc.

What was the joke? Who was the butt of this joke?

Yes yes, I’m sure the pissed-off MAGA base have seen the error of their ways and will make amends by voting for Vance

Feels like there should be a Minecraft mod to do this.

I’m not a believer myself. And yet. The length and specificity of this list of parallels between what the Bible says about the Anti-Christ and the behavior and character of our dear leader gives me pause.

Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist?

Come on, guys, he’s just saying what everyone is already thinking. Right?

“Regrettably, such resources have been misapplied in prior years to pursue media headlines and run up numbers…”

Well, yes, of course, the famously reticent and modest-to-a-fault trump regime would never exaggerate numbers or do anything rash just to conjure up headlines.

So they’re too liberal, and weak on crime?

I don’t know how many Hark, A Vagrant strips featured the Straw Feminists, but here’s their introduction, I believe.

Edit: The dangerous time-suck rabbit-hole-o-matic website, TVTropes, has a page for “Straw Feminist,” which links to Hark, A Vagrant.

…federal immigration officials attempted to use the tariff statute to unmask the president’s critics before, during the first Trump administration, and were reprimanded for doing so by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General in a 2017 report.

In its summons, ICE indicated the basis for its request was a provision of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 . John Doe informed the court that they had nothing to do with the kind of activities at issue in the near-century-old statute, which governs boat show sales, wild animal imports, forfeited wines and spirits, and cross-border trade in other goods.

Anyone… anyone?
