TLDW: The moisture sensor might be on the right side of the microwave, and the bag was pointing left when the steam was released.

But that was definitely worth a watch.

Sure, probably. But that's what happens when you elect leopards and have faces.

The point is to inspire fear and demand unwaivering loyalty. A little random violence against your own people helps tighten the inner circle around the leader, hoping for safety. Anyone outside the circle is surely doomed, and only the most loyal are surely protected. The leader is fickle and irascible, so be on your toes and never risk his ire.

They're only going to raid employers that didn't contribute to the campaign. It's extortion.

Reminder that Pennsylvania was one of the states where Russian terrorists called in bomb threats to shut down polling sites in heavily democrat areas to help Republicans win.

I would also like to have no advertising.

Yes, that part was surprising and funny.

Familiarity breeds trust. They aren't trying to sell you insurance. They are trying to get you to think of their name when you shop for insurance. They want you to see Progressive and think, "Yeah, that's a company I've heard of." If you were choosing between two brands equivalent, and you had never heard of one of them, most people will pick the one they have heard of. That's why 90% of insurance commercials are just repeating the name of the company and words like "trust" or "value".

 

“Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement.

 

I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

 

Has this ever happened to you? There's a fly in the house, buzzing around you, so you go to the cabinet to get the swatter. But as soon as you start wielding it, the little bastard disappears. You set it down, and now he's back, taunting you.

Ok so obviously flies don't taunt, but do they have the capacity to recognize, even instinctually, that I'm holding a deadly weapon?
