@paulcordes @ChuckGrassley Ah yes, Chuck is quite flatulent. Might I suggest you attach a gas mask to Chuck’s sphincter so you can inhale said gas in its purest form? You’re welcome.

Y'all, we just need the data centers to run on explosive diarrhea. Do I have to think of every damn thaaaang???!!!

@TheCinesthetic Quentin should do a cover of Adam Ant’s “Desperate But Not Serious.” No feet shots, though.

[Marquis De Shade @qzgun]

@RealEmirHan Quentin frequently displays narcissistic tendencies and should probably refrain from blabbering about his insufferable opinions. He won’t, of course. Unless a foot model shoves a sock in his mouth.

@SweetAlMoo @VigilantFox He’s been a mega-douche for a long time.

@SpeakerJohnson Do you lie due to ignorance, an instinct for self-preservation, or utter and amoral disregard for what is true?

[Marquis De Shade @qzgun]

@highbrow_nobrow You can beat it, malign it, abuse it, and torment it without repercussions! Yay!! Put it in a robot with tits and a BBL and watch tech-bro ED issues disappear.

@marcel__za @franklinleonard Ryan wouldn’t do it. You’ll want to contact Rob Schneider for that honor. You can also have Rob play Genghis Khan, Geronimo, and Othello.

If Rob is unavailable, consider Kevin Sorbo, Jon Voight, Scott Baio, or Kid Rock. Then prepare a spot for your Oscars and/or Razzies.

@PhysInHistory ‘Twas farted into existence by the Great Cosmic Anus, shortly after the previous Universe overindulged in spicy cuisine.

@theeroamer “Ridiculously self-absorbed” is the name of this genre.

A 19-year-old in France went into a coma for 3 weeks. To her, it lasted 7 years. She gave birth to triplets, named them, and lost one shortly after birth. She woke up and asked the nurses where her children were.

Doctors see this often in intensive care. They call it ICU delirium, and it hits about 37% of patients there. For people on a breathing machine for weeks, the rate climbs to nearly 9 in 10.

The drugs that keep ICU patients unconscious push down the deepest sleep stages, where the brain normally files away the day. When the drugs ease off, all that suppressed dreaming floods back at once. Meanwhile, the brain stops double-checking reality. So the brain just builds, stacking vivid detail on vivid detail. Half an hour of dream time can feel like a whole year of life.

The grief follows her out of the coma. The brain regions that handle emotional pain are the same ones that hurt when you lose someone in waking life. Memories don’t come with a “this was real” tag. So the love a mother feels for children who never existed lives in the same place as the love for kids who did. Grief counselors handle these losses the way they would the death of an actual child, because to the brain, they are the same.

A novelist named Caroline Leavitt wrote about her own coma for Psychology Today in 2021. She said waking up felt like being “pulled violently” from one world to another. Drug-induced comas like hers leave the brain active enough to dream. In trauma comas, the brain mostly goes dark.

In Rick and Morty there’s an arcade game called Roy where you live a whole life in an afternoon. The brain runs the same game on its own. All it needs is a breathing machine and 3 weeks.

@anon_opin Grunt. Cough. Spit. Grunt.

@LeahRemini Congratulations!

[Marquis De Shade @qzgun]

@AlexToropoc @Isabelletkrause Profound stupidity should be shouted from the rooftops. As a warning. To other stupid people. Congrats! You’re now a role model. A “what not to do and how not to do it” role model.

@Deadspin Dana, just skip to the part where you exclusively use AI fighters and pocket all the proceeds. You know you want to. You can call it WWLT. The LT is for Looney Tunes because you’re a cartoon.

@DannyDrinksWine There was an “informal” ban on wearing Lancôme fragrances anywhere near Marty that lasted at least until 1990, so maybe he’s not being entirely honest.

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

It is a felony to steal someone’s private Social Security data and give it to a third party without consent.

Elon Musk's DOGE did that 350 million times.

350 MILLION FELONIES.

@AriFleischer Ari Fleischer is a horrible excuse for a human being, and he’s remarkably stupid. 500 lbs of bull feces in a 250 lbs burlap sack.
