On the never-ending quest to live an interesting life. Old school FUNimation alum. My time capsule of US anime fandom:

If this track isn't used in The Odyssey then I will want my money back!

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

My high school part time job flashback. You also need to clean the nozzles and gaskets with bleach so they don't get slimy.

the fact he may carve out time to attend two basketball games merely weeks after saying he didn’t have time to attend his own son’s wedding is objectively hilarious 😂

Trump confirms he will be doing a rally himself instead of having musical acts perform for America’s 250th anniversary celebration after many backed out:

“We don’t want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you to sleep, we’ve told them all to stay home.”

Trump says there will be a handful of speakers, military bands, Lee Greenwood, and a speech from himself.

Shouldn't a requirement of being energy secretary is knowing how energy works????

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”

“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)

“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”

“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”

Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”

“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

Bilton told the 60 Minutes staff that Weiss loves the institution. Pelley said out loud, in the room, in front of everyone: she was brought in to kill it and she's doing exactly that.

One of Weiss's people kept saying Pelley was being rude. Pelley kept going.

Wray resigned quietly. Kelly gave interviews after. Mattis, Barr, McConnell - all of them knew and none of them said it while they were still in the building.

Pelley said it while he was still in the building. That's the whole difference.

[Drew Savicki @DrewSav]

A few years ago the Supreme Court struck down Alabama's congressional district map. Tonight they have upheld the very map they struck down.

“The story of this era isn’t merely that powerful men demand obedience. History is full of powerful men demanding obedience. The story of this era is whether enough Americans still possess the courage to refuse. Scott Pelley did.”

Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic Governor primary.

If elected, she will make history as the nation's first Native American governor.

Replacing "60 Minutes" with "The Ivermectin Hour With Joe Rogan" could bring more young viewers to CBS.

[Matt Fenton @SuprMario47]

@DylanByers Time to cancel Paramount Plus and never watch CBS again.

@60Minutes is officially dead.

RIP to an institution.
