Doesn't he know the guy's gone back to calling himself Gordon Sumner?

that’s an inevitability

My fear is that when he dies, they'll just replace him with a body double. My even bigger fear is that they've already done that.

I had a friend in college back in the '80s who was a born-again Christian and a big Jim and Tammy Faye Baker supporter. After their scams and shenanigans had been publicly exposed. And it wasn't even that he didn't believe the news about them -- he did believe they were scammers and kept sending them most of what little money he had. If you want me to explain that mindset, I absolutely can't. It's something along the lines of "God works through disreputable people sometimes".

For me, what's so mysterious is not that people like this can be cheated out of their money. It's that people like this have any money to begin with.

Many of my coworkers are trumpers and they love to talk about "trump derangement syndrome". Whenever they bring it up I agree with them and say "yes, trump is highly deranged" and they get all apoplectic. "That's not what it means!"

Bah, why even go to that much trouble when they can just ask AI what the results of an election would be?

That and Quake II are the only console games I've ever sunk an enormous amount of time into.

Even just regular cream cheese. It's $8 for a 12 oz. tub of Philadelphia brand but $1.50 for an 8 oz foil-wrapped blocked of the generic. For years now I've been buying the generic blocks and packing them into old Philadelphia tubs because my parents insist on the name brand. They've never said a word about it.

I'm sure you could make your own whipped cream cheese with a food processor.

At least they didn't use "insurgent" in the headline, I suppose.

My favorite shrinkflation is Campbell's soup, particularly their low-sodium offerings. Costs twice as much, comes in a slightly smaller can, and isn't condensed. So you pay five times as much for them to just not put so much fucking salt into their soup in the first place.

Yo.

It's not weird. They and everybody with two connected neurons know the confederate flag really means "I hate black people".

The Sopranos did this in one early episode. Dude shoots another dude in a car and is immediately like "FUCK!" and holding his ears. Rest of the series is dudes casually blazing away and "I'm all itchy!"
