Despite the National Park Service pouring hyrdogen peroxide into the Reflecting Pool, the ducks have yet to go bleach blonde.

@ClayTravis I wish someone would make a movie or series of movies of what the world would look like if the United States has not been created or if the United States had not won World War I or World War II so that young people might get a glimpse of what it would be like.

"Certainly with the way our ballpark is configured, that’s something that the front office was aware of when we were looking at him in free agency."

Gunnar for 100, please!

The DC launch of “Spain My Way” by @chefjoseandres at the Lincoln Theater was a blast. I shared a ham-and-olive-stocked green room with news ace @Acosta, got to meet Sonia Sotomayor, and *tried* to make liquid green olives on stage with the star of the show. (Not so easy!) Great crowd. Congrats, Chef!

A runaway trolley is speeding toward five people tied to the tracks, but pulling the lever will divert it onto another track where one person is tied down — except that one person is a doctor carrying organs that would save six dying patients, one of whom is the scientist who will cure a pandemic caused by a virus engineered to stop an AI that became self-aware after being trained on simulations of moral dilemmas. You can instead push a large man off a bridge to stop the trolley, but the large man is your future self sent back in time after discovering that the five people on the tracks eventually become dictators who start a nuclear war that wipes out humanity — except one secretly adopts a child who grows up to prevent an asteroid from destroying Earth in 200 years. Meanwhile, the trolley company is unionized, the tracks run through private property, the organs were harvested from clones who may or may not have souls, the AI insists it is conscious and begs you not to kill anyone because suffering is immoral, a utilitarian philosopher says sacrificing one is mathematically correct, a deontologist says touching the lever is murder, a virtue ethicist asks what a good person would do, and a contractarian points out nobody signed up to be in trolley experiments in the first place. Complicating matters further, the trolley is powered by a kitten whose happiness level directly determines the stability of spacetime, and every second you hesitate creates a parallel universe where Reddit users argue about whether you made the wrong choice forever.
