@Infoseepage @alice Also love it. The Object I covet is the wire hanger (#3, paper covered, with dry-cleaner logo) which has the ability to unclog drains without kneeling or getting wet or dirty.

@anon_opin The English Language has received your suggestion, and assures that "it will be considered with all the merit that it deserves". It then made a wanking gesture, donned its highwayman mask, and went to Koreatown to see what words it could filch out of K-pop songs.

@Sophie Keanu's one inch punch is so powerful that its metric conversion can also break boards.

@Sophie I once met an old roundhouse kick that told me the same story several times in a row about riding Keanu's foot with three other roundhouse kicks at the same time. Highlight of its career.

@Sophie Keanu does not kick ungodly amounts of ass. Keanu kicks gluteals, because he is so respectful of the animal rights of donkeys.

@Sophie Whenever Keanu does have a beard, there is still a chin there and not additional fists. But his chin does hide a garrote, three throwing knives, and a meteor hammer in there.

@CaffeinatedBookDragon @cstross @Oggie @pluralistic Honestly most appliances could be made smarter just with a notepad holster and one of those space pens attached to a ball chain and sticky pad like they use at the credit union to keep the pens from walking away. Plain old notepad paper recycles better than e-waste.

@evan @jwildeboer Tibet has been absorbed into China, and is the only nation I know of that had reincarnated leaders.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I try to avoid ads, but let me guess. From the window to the Wal*Mart?

The imagining of it is enough. I need more ad-blocking.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I might presume that such calls would be public record. And I might further presume that they would be obtainable via FOIA request. And by further presumption, that such call records would be hilarious to the right audience.

@cstross It is. It could have stood on its own without copying the names. It's just extremely weird that they forced those two magnets close in the wrong orientation.

@cstross Are we considering Starship Troopers? That delta is so large that one could argue that the film is a brand adoption on a completely unrelated script, rather than an adaptation.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Let us not neglect our favorite yacht-disabling cetaceans. Who among us has not cheered the image of an orca with a broken rudder in its mouth?

Everything the NYPD says about the UHC CEO situation shows that they have no real leads yet, and are flailing because they know this is probably the *only* crime they *really* need to solve, to keep their jobs.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Just like with airplane oxygen masks, it is critically important to lie to oneself before lying to the other people trapped with you in a vessel making an uncontrolled descent into terrain facilitating an unplanned vehicle disassembly.

@AnarchoNinaWrites You: "Here's your reading list; now piss off, because I have my own problems, and I'm tired of repeating myself to people who refuse to absorb high-quality, human-curated information."

They: "Oh? Can I be another one of your problems?"

So eager to catch a block, I'd think they're playing Klax.

@mekkaokereke @davidnjoku How about a staring contest? Eyelid muscles are underrated in strength competitions.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Shrug your shoulders and not give even a single shit?

I hope John Titor is happy about spawning this timeline. If we make it to 2036, we should q-bomb his timeline.
