The GOP calls itself the 'pro-life' party, and yet 'Jesus Guns Babies' is an acceptable slogan. Republicans don't bat an eye when one of Georgia's Republican candidates for governor, Kandiss Taylor, pitches Christian theocracy while tying guns to babies — the unsavory...
I consume two packets of Trader Joe's ginger juice powder dissolved in hot water almost every day. It's not like regular ginger tea, which is just the ground-up root of the ginger plant. As the package copy for Trader Joe's 100% ginger juice drink mix says, 'We take fresh...
People become petty about the oddest things. It's just human nature to attach your ego to anything and become defensive about it. I'm a fairly affable and convivial person in all aspects of life, but when I play fighting games, my lizard brain goes into overdrive. — Read the...
For 71 years the Wilhelm Scream has been the most used cry in movies. Most of my familiarity and interest came from its abuse in the Star Wars media empire, but both the original moment from the movie Distant Drums (1951) and this history (also embedded below,) are a treat....
He told me his real name when he walked up to my tent for the first time, but I never remembered it. He wanted everyone to call him by his carny name: Mr. Blockhead. His head did look like a block. — Read the rest
Youtube channel We Love Animals shares this fantastic rescue story. A sad husky shown love turns into a beauty. This rescue Husky gives me all the feels. My first dog was a Malamute we rescued from a local shelter. My brother currently has a Siberian Husky named Ava who...
I took to Star Trek: The Next Generation later in life. Like, much later in life. Like, during the first leg of quarantine later in life. Yeah, I know, I'm pretty late to the party. It's not like I was averse to the Star Trek franchise- quite the opposite. — Read the rest
Celebrate the extremely brief Twitter renaissance of scurvy crank Jordan Peterson with this performance of Radiohead's Creep by 'Kermit the Frog', which is to say Rich Alvarez.
I often find myself contemplating the nature of great people in history. The question that I keep asking myself is if history necessitates the emergence of great people or if great people change history? In the case of Eminem—one of the most influential and pivotal figures ...
I'll never understand children's properties with a staggered release schedule. Kids age faster than milk, so having a franchise aimed at them with more than five years between iterations strikes me as an illogical approach. If a kid watches your product at five and has to...
This video is posted as Adam Savage's 'rant on laser printers' but it's really about how dreadful Google's search engine is nowadays. He hopped online to research his way to a nice new 'large format laser printer' and found the site useless: the results are a mix of ads,...
In this footage, a busker's guitar solo is closely inspected by a skeptical and rather belligerent passer-by: 'you're not f*cking doing that!' he declares. The busker, with extraordinary patience, proves himself to the onlooker by mixing up his performance and even letting ...
'Rye The Lightning' is a new straight rye whiskey from Metallica's whiskey brand, BLACKENED. Named for and inspired by the band's sophomore album, which sold some six million copies, the whiskey was aged through BLACKENED's proprietary 'Black Noise' process. — Read the rest
The 2022 edition of Daniel 'Attaboy' Seifert's art-and-seek event, Game of Shrooms, is nigh. Come Saturday, June 11, thousands of participants will be hiding, and finding, mushroom-themed art globally! Again this year, I'll be both hiding and foraging for art-shrooms. —...
As the video embedded here states, humans don't have the biggest butts based on size alone. Hippos have us beat by a literal ton. I'm talking about a ratio of butt to body size, in which humans are unmatched. When you think about it from that angle, it's easy to see why...

The website does absolutely nothing besides present a new ape-themed slide every time you reload the page, so of course I immediately bookmarked it. There is even a photo in the collection of a real-life ape on a slide. This is the most useful website I've ever come across...
Sky Hawk (1976) is an arcade game by Nintendo that uses 16mm film footage of remote-controlled fighter planes. To play, you must shoot down enemy planes that are projected onto the screen. You shoot as many planes as you can in 60 seconds. — Read the rest
Xiu Xiu Plays The Music of Twin Peaks is a tribute album by Xiu Xiu. The album features cover versions of the music from the Twin Peaks soundtrack. Tracks are largely based on their original songs by Angelo Badalamenti, but are laced with experimental ambient noises and...
[Strobe warning] 'Box' is a 1982 short film by Takashi Ito. The sound design is by Yosuke Inagaki. The film shows a rotating box with frame-by-frame landscape photographs on each face of the cube. The box looks as if it's revolving 360 degrees, but it only revolves 90...
Somehow this Colbert segment wasn't a joke about the world's worst frozen food heir, but rather a segment about a seemingly useless clothing innovation. Feels like the DotCom era to me. TuckOff! Image: Screengrab
