Apple keyboard just auto-corrected a text I was writing from “ass-kissers” to “ass-kaisers” and I’m not even mad.

@inthehands I got so used to zero-based counting that it’s the decremented versions (such as 65535) that get me going.

And whoever said “6502,” yeah, that. Just always remember to clear the fucking carry bit.

Trump will try either to cancel the fall elections or declare the results invalid. He’s a cornered rat and he know it.

@kims This kinda puts it in a nutshell.

This thread from Will Stancil — about how ICE agents spilled their guts with operational details of raids, video clips, etc., to Minneapolis women on Tinder pretending to be into them — is a Thing of Beauty.

From SNL S2E2 (9/25/1976), I give you the “Snakehandling O’Sheas” sketch, with Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman (as a nun), John Belushi, and Dan Aykroyd, with setup by Norman Lear.

@desertsquare @ai6yr It is known.

MAGA contender for House seat (and presumptive nominee, with the withdrawal of embattled incumbent Tony Gonzales) explains that in video clips of him talking about his copy of “Mein Kamp,” he was doing “comedy.”

I believe it was Popehat who famously observed, “Even if you fuck goats ironically, you’re still a goatfucker.”

What the fucking — and I cannot emphasize this enough— fuck?

Wondering whether an indescribably stupid war with Iran will be enough to get the National Guard members deployed to DC pulled out. I don’t wish death on these people from Kentucky & who the hell knows where else but I’m fucking sick of having squads of camo-clad soldiers kitted out in full death-dealing gear uselessly patrolling subway platforms and the shopping mall at Union Station.

Oh, look: a deliberately punitive move having nothing to do with budget limitations. Excuse me while I question Kristi Noem’s commitment to complying with legal restrictions.

Fuck Donald Trump. (Senior, although I’ll throw in Junior for the same price.)

Fuck Mike Johnson and the Lickspittle Caucus.

But above all, fuck Henry Cuellar (POS-TX) with a cream-cheese dildo.

Practice from ancient Olympia that the modern Games really should adopt: posting the names of cheaters in a conspicuous location at the stadium entrance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanes_of_Olympia

@kims Dumb Q: why not just let insurance reject one of the bills? Or is the point that they won’t process EITHER claim in this scenario?

Or that the provider won’t even let you double-schedule because they know what bastards the insurers are?

@kims

While you were idly scrolling through Zillow listings, I studied The Blade.
