There's an old joke that starts "In Heaven, all the policemen are English..." I assume there was once a good reason for that.

Well that's the great thing about being a Republican. You can abuse your powers all you want and be confident that the opposing party are too nice to abuse theirs back, even if you get the Supreme Court to say it's totally fine.

I should probably wait to see if Legal Eagle puts out of a video on this, but what exactly is happening here? Trump hasn't been convicted of any criminal acts yet, right? I didn't sleep through that and miss it? Why is it even possible to ask the Supreme Court for a ruling on this already, let...

OK I decided to just look this up myself and sure enough, yes, that did happen. So this organization has been openly run by neo-Nazis for at least three years now and anyone in attendance who claims outrage at antisemitic statements being made there is just doing damage control over what is at...

This feels like the sort of thing you'd have to be epically incompetent at digging to make happen, but maybe that's why I'm not a geologist. I'd love to know where it sits on the scale of perfectly-competent to Homer-setting-his-cereal-on-fire.

Wasn't CPAC that event that literally built their stage in the shape of the Nazis' odal rune a couple years back? Or am I thinking of a different Republican gathering?

Dead simple to scam people who lack the basic capacity to read, maybe. Though maybe that's the idea—like the gibberish in a typical spam email, the idea is to filter out anyone with an ounce of thinking capacity so you can turn around and shame them for being dumb enough to fall for it in the...

Shame they specified children, because otherwise this might have had the side effect of banning hazing rituals.

It's another thing the far left and the far right have in common, sadly. Believing you have to be mean to the Bad People 100% of the time because they're bad and they deserve it, and anything less is cause to believe you're secretly on their side.

Unwittingly?

Another Crab's Treasure had a demo in Steam Next Fest or something last year; IronPineapple covered it in one of his "Souls-likes you've never heard of" videos if you want to see more gameplay. Oddly enough it's described on the store page as the developer's second game even though clicking...

You know that giant dome from The Simpsons Movie? I wonder if we could make one big enough to cover a whole state.

A cop in Alabama was caught calling a neighboring town's department and making false reports. At least six times. The newspaper refers to this as "swatting" but suspiciously avoids saying what happened when the cops showed up at those made-up crime scenes. Usually the point of swatting is to...

So, yes, the heads of the department deserve to be condemned for this, then.

Wouldn't even be the first time. Metroid Prime Federation Force was basically their take on Aliens: Colonial Marines, wasn't it?

"You can't fire me, I quit" is such a cliché that it never occurred to me that there might be benefits to doing it beyond reassuring one's fragile ego. Are there any situations where you can actually refuse to let someone quit so you can fire them? I feel like in any situation where it makes...

This might be the first time a major media figure has used the term "radicalized" like it's a good thing. This brings up an interesting point. The media has a habit of using exchange rates to translate how much something costs in a foreign country, but that only matters if you're writing a...

I'm not familiar with my Trek lore, so two questions: who are the guys on the left and right? and is the guy on the left actually the actor who played Farmer Hoggett in Babe?

The Republicans who joined in voting to expel Santos are just going to take this as a sign to never do that again.

I'm honestly surprised more people who find themselves sitting on property the government refuses to let them develop don't just pull an Andrew Ryan, torch it to the ground anyway, and write off whatever fines they're charged for it as the cost of doing business, as rich people are already wont...
