The bartender says "sorry, we don't serve faster than light particles here." Two tachyons walk into a bar. The punchline comes before the joke You know what the worst thing about time travel jokes is?

This is a dark anniversary for the Army Corps of Engineers, who normally operate with a strict adherence to safety regulations. One little slip up is all it takes.

When did this start? What act precipitated this madness? Was it Kavanaugh’s confirmation? Was it Citizens United? Bush v Gore? The unfortunate truth is, it’s always been this way. You don’t have to believe me, you can read The Federalist Papers too.

Mine was fairly similar, but with a huge blob of red covering most of the country and Alaska, with a little yellowing towards the gulf states, and blue in New England. A fairly accurate heat map of my life.

Superman told us to cut it out, so everyone go home, no more looting. You can take what you’ve already looted though, that’s fine.

Was this one of those trick interviews where the goal is to get both people to show up at the same place, and that place is a shipping container that will be buried in the desert?

When I left the Army, I received a sizable settlement check. When the bank told me it would be held for a week to insure processing, I was agog. “This is a check from the federal government, do you think it will bounce?!” You can bet your ass BofA collected interest on that capital for a week.

I’ve worked in Higher Education for 30 years. I’ve met A Lot of PhDs. As a class, they are not particularly bright, are prone to errors, and are generally blind to their own bias. I’d say AI has reached that milestone.

In the past I have endorsed many statements regarding your lack of physical appeal, but I would never go so far as to describe you as a chimpanzee or a monkey, which are two different things in different genus.

I’ve always gotten the impression that Jedi relied on the assumptive power of the state to take children “for their own good” and without the consent of the parents. I’ve never seen it portrayed as a happy or proud moment for the parents.

“The original sin of existing” is a curious way to describe the the first Aliyah through Aliyah Bet. Not unlike the American Manifest Destiny.
