As near as I can tell, aside from those words coincidentally appearing in that sequence in other contexts, nobody has ever (on the internet, at least), used this as a response. I want to make this happen.

Kind of makes my parents meeting my then-girlfriend for the first time and then the four of us watching the episode of Seinfeld about faking orgasms together seem tame.

It is. It definitely deserves a spot in my brain next to “flavenoid” in the real-words-that-sound-like-they-were-made-up-for-a-13-year-old’s-science-fiction-book canon.

The Chinese text is, according to Google translate, “One small step forward, a big step for civilization.”

There was a serious effort for the web to be based on pdf rather than html back then. Had adobe made it an open standard sooner, they might have succeeded (but probably not because the indexing problem was still significant).

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

Oddly, the one organization marching in the Fourth of July parade not giving out candy was the candy store. 🤔

part of me thinks Biden should quit and part of me thinks he shouldn't. it's all just static. I don't know what should happen. I will vote for any candidate who the Supreme Court isn't trying to make king.

I almost never listen to radio these days. I have my phone’s music instead which is all MY music (I also don‘t do streaming), so I get only the songs and bands I like.

We’re already seeing “but her emails” madness from the electorate. I’ve been reluctant to let my ex-wife get Mexican passports for our kids since our divorce. Monday, I asked her how long the process takes and what’s involved. I also researched family reunification visas for Mexico.

Just finished sending out my first fiction submission of the year, which includes a postal submission. And the USPS has changed the 1oz rate for flats from being 2 forever stamps to 2 forever stamps plus 3¢, which is just rude.

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.
