all these anecdotes on the Scots drinking the city of Boston dry (after drinking entire airplanes dry) are the stuff of legend

from bars:
“We’ve been here for over 30 years, and we’ve never seen anything like it.”

“We tripled St. Patrick’s Day.”

“They’re drinking everything.”

JD Vance was in fact, home schooled by a day drinker.

We wanted to understand the details of Trump's deal with Iran. So we talked to three unvaccinated UFC fans at a Wild Wings in Scranton.

@DrOBrienMD Guy, guys this is nothing to worry about. They are mixing up a big old batch of Brawndo the Thirst Mutilator now with 47% live algae in every bottle for the 250th celebration. Pretty soon Trump will arrive to bathe in the pool for that rich orange flavor blast too.

[Jessica Huseman @JessicaHuseman]

My god the visible presence of algae is now partisan

oh YES.

Since the 1980s, Xerox and Canon made a secret deal with the US Secret Service. every color laser printer now embeds invisible yellow dots on every single page it produces. too small to see with the naked eye. they repeat up to 150 times per page so they survive cropping, damage, even shredding.

the dots encode:
— your printer's serial number
— the exact date and time of printing
— the manufacturer

no law requires manufacturers to tell you this. most printer manuals don't mention it. you almost certainly didn't know.

The first use case was counterfeiting. catching people printing fake money. reasonable.

Then, in 2017, Reality Winner printed a classified NSA document and mailed it to journalists. investigators cross-referenced the yellow dots with security footage. she was identified, arrested, and sentenced to 5 years.

because there is no law regulating who can request this information. no warrant requirement. no oversight. the EFF has been saying this since 2004 and nothing has changed.

you can check if your printer does this. the EFF maintains a list: https://t.co/mffS4X92kw

Rep. Brian Mast: "Ok, maybe they do end up getting $20 billion, let's say. Let's say we're still $300 to $500 billion ahead considering we destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force ... "

(So American taxpayers paid both to bomb Iran and then for Iran's reconstruction ... )

Commercial advertising, product placements, and corporate-sponsored promotions are explicitly prohibited on national parklands. The White House lawn is a unit of the National Park System. It also violates standard Anti-Vending and Solicitation Laws as well as misuse of public funds and government endorsement ethics. Everything this administration does spits in the face of our laws. Everything is a grift.

If Biden said "I love the inflation" the media would have collapsed on itself like a dying star in outrage. There wouldn't be enough room on the opinion page of the NYT or segments on cable news for pundits to demand he resign. This? A fart in the wind, forgotten by tomorrow🙃

CENTCOM said the pilots shot down were rescued at 7:33 PM ET within 2 hours after they were shot down. Trump boarded the helicopter from Bedminster to go to the Knicks game at 6:57 PM ET. So he was on his way to the game after they were shot down and before they were rescued.

The two best statistics in the WSJ’s genuinely great article on North Korea’s economic boom:

Pyongyang built more housing last year than LA. (Says something about CA housing dysfunction).

North Korea assembled more cellphones than the USA.

One idea I really enjoy is that Democrats have an unbeatable vote rigging operation, but instead of just using it all the time, they sadistically employ it only after briefly giving Republicans hope
