Expectant mothers need emotional support, not angry rhetoric. Bearing children is hard and can be scary. So they need to hear, from friends and family and strangers, messages of hope. The pro life message shares hope.

I was told today by a 17-year-old that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without Al. Dude, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

I guess that settles it, then.

Europeans arriving for the World Cup: “The food is actually really good.” “Wait, they really do free refills?” “The stadiums are insane.” “Ok the weather is no joke.” “Air conditioning isn’t optional here.” “The roads are complete chaos.” “Why is this gas station bigger than my airport?” “Everyone is way friendlier than I expected.” The 2026 World Cup may go down as the largest American propaganda campaign ever conducted. And we’re not even trying.

Was die meisten schon wieder vergessen haben: 2021 hat Elon Musk den Vereinten Nationen angeboten, für die Beendigung des Welthungers mit dem Verkauf eines Teils seiner Tesla-Aktien zu zahlen. Die einzige Bedingung: Die Vereinten Nationen legen transparent offen, wie genau dieser Betrag den Welthunger beenden würde und wie die Mittel eingesetzt werden. Natürlich haben die Vereinten Nationen das Angebot nicht angenommen. Sie hätten nämlich erklären müssen, wie es sein kann, dass seit den 1950er Jahren 2 BILLIONEN DOLLAR an „Entwicklungshilfen“ nach Afrika geflossen sind, sich aber in all den Jahren nichts zum Besseren entwickelt hat. Das Problem ist nicht Elon Musk. Das Problem sind korrupte Politiker, die dir sagen, dass Elon Musk das Problem wäre.

Commander Dave Scott of Apollo 15 validates Galileo's theory on the Moon by dropping a hammer and a feather, proving that objects fall at the same speed, independent of their mass.

There was a video going around today of a guy stopping some people from cutting in line at an amusement park and somebody can be heard on the video saying, “this guy is acting like he’s an authority” and it’s just like, yeah, exactly. That’s the thing. That’s the big thing. That’s the big difference. It’s 100 million people all acting like they’re the authority, because they are the authority. Because they know the rules and they’re going to make sure that you follow them. No free riders. The motto in every shitty neighborhood in the country, on the other hand, is that it ain’t your business. Mind your own business. Don’t you worry about me. You hate the Karen’s to the detriment of your society. Of course they’re annoying, sometimes. But every nice place on earth is full of people who don’t mind their own damn business, who are absolutely committed to the idea that you’re going to follow the rules, people who make that their business.

Very few times have I EVER heard the Star Spangled Banner sang this impressively. Bravo chads 🥃

FINALLY museums giving the people what they want: reproductions of the artifacts

Your goal in life as an American should be to love America as much as a German soccer fan.

I read a story in which the author, whose hero was Texas, mentioned someone taking a "slice" of Frito pie, and thus exposed himself as a poseur. In a different story, by a different author, the hero went to Waffle House and bought a Belgian waffle - making it clear he had never in fact visited a Waffle House. In the Walking Dead, they go from Florida to South Carolina and can't find a single firearm in any house. "Huh" I thought. "The screenwriters are from Los Angeles." What examples can you give of a writer unintentionally giving away his lack of knowledge?

Ok. Hear me out… A Breaking Bad reboot starring these two

The Jews gave us all the Bible. So, there's that.

"If I could time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favorite politician getting assassinated” You’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half the planet.

I think it's incredible how Europeans are reacting to 'Real America' that they don't see on the news or in movies. But they're also discovering other things: Brit: 'It's 32 Celsius today! When should this heatwave end?' (American converts Haven't-Been-To-The-Moon units into Freedom Units.) Southerner: 'November. Hopefully. There's a reason we have air conditioning, mate.'

So there’s this common misconception that autistic people take everything literally. I’m autistic, so I can tell you… that’s just not true. The people who actually take things literally are kleptomaniacs. I just have autism.
