I dunno, someone might’ve paid him to try to get some info, but “recruited as a spy”? He’d be the worst spy in the entire world.

“Hello fellow fatcat businessman, I am a simple fatcat businessman just like you. Would you like to tell me any secrets you have that my friend Mr. Gorba-- I mean Mr. Smith would be interested in?”

Is that anything like wall humping?

Also if bird flu blows up he’ll again have the opportunity to not save millions from dying.

Judge Gregory Carro ordered him to remain handcuffed, calling it a security measure.

Oh yeah, any second now he’ll pull out his ass gun he’s been hiding for months in prison and go hog wild. This guy doesn’t have a chance at a fair trial.

It’s the opposite of face-eating leopards. “Surely making myself more appealing to racists and fanatics while empowering them won’t eventually lead to any consequences for me!”

I don’t mind the wide flat noodles like the pad thai ones or even really big like lasagna, but something about udon is a little too much. I eat it from time to time but I never really crave it-- much rather have ramen

Not just Russia’s puppet. He’ll let literally anyone stick their hand up his ass if they pay him.

I know idioms don’t necessarily have to make sense, but how were you imagining getting down to a tax? Like it was at the bottom of a list of taxes or something?

Some dude invented a new pasta shape in the last few years called cascatelli (little waterfall)

NPR did a segment on it

I like fettuccine but when you hit udon size they’re too thick for me

I miss when Colbert’s comedy wasn’t hamstrung by needing to play to milquetoast network audiences. His stuff is ok-ish nowadays, but he’s not pushing the envelope on anything anymore

This is similar to what happens with Asian giant hornets (those murder hornets that made it to the US a couple years ago)-- when a scout finds a honeybee hive it brings back a troop that goes in and just murders everything in sight, and with European bees there’s nothing they can do. Meanwhile the Asian bees know to lure the scout into the hive and then surround it with a bunch of bees, creating a bee ball. Then they vibrate and heat themselves up, and since the bees can withstand temps a few degrees higher than the hornet, they manage to overheat it to death.

I wish they’d make a podcast app with a playback feature that’s not just a single seekbar. If for some reason you need to scroll through something, having a small bar represent an hour or two doesn’t give much granularity. I’ve been using audiopo, where your entire screen becomes the playback bar, but it’s not really a podcast app so it doesn’t have a good way to organize your files.

If you really want to get down to brass tacks about it, the movie was saying love can transcend appearance, not necessarily sex. Loving relationships don’t have to include gargling beast balls, so I’d say the adult hot take is still valid.

You know how lemmy or xyz social media is people posting their thoughts directly so you kinda get a look into their brains? And maybe there’s a pic or vid or some other link to accompany it to support the topic of their post. Imagine that but it’s entire websites basically built from the ground up with what one lone person believed was aesthetically appropriate to communicate their ideas or passions.

And nothing was centralized so there might’ve been a hundred time cube variations but no one ever found them because they weren’t linked on anyone’s webrings. It was all beautiful terrible madness.

ooh, President Husk ain’t gonna be happy to hear that sass from lil humpty

wonder if he had that dog dong that inflates

Didn’t he give someone a horse after sexually harassing them?

On this week’s John Oliver he ended with a brief segment about messages from people in government positions saying how past protests have encouraged their belief that they were doing the right thing by resisting. Just holding signs won’t fix everything, but it isn’t nothing.
