Pepper beef with egg plant. Another outstanding Chinese dish. The flavour is just… 🤤

For those who don’t know, this is one of the most repugnant shitbags on the American right. The remarkable thing about this weasel is not that he lies about most things, but that he never tells the truth about anything.

@shoq Classic comment!

#WompWomp Arizona’s attorney general says Rudy #Giuliani has been served an indictment in the state’s fake elector case alongside 17 other defendants for his role in an attempt to overturn #Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Giuliani’s political adviser, Ted Goodman, confirmed Giuliani was served Friday night after his 80th birthday celebration as he was walking to the car.

The radio signals we broadcast are escaping into outer space, creating a radio layer, that's ever expanding at the speed of light.

Meaning, some alien somewhere somewhen is watching our TV.

@rysiek @drq I had forgotten this! Thank you for sharing it. The film that saved Wētā.

@rysiek @drq I live in Wellington, so I used to see people from the Wētā crews (Workshop and Digital) regularly. Sir Richard Taylor told me this directly. He said Wētā Digital was in bad shape and on the verge of closing down. Then they got the Contact gig, and the money from that saved the company. Not long after, The Lord of the Rings came about.

His wizards finally found the config file. Who still says he can’t get us to Mars? (Getting back is a different matter.)

Finally, my own post about the #misinformation, plus a couple of other truthful ones, are at the top of Google for this search.

@msquebanh Thank you! It took a lot of fighting each day since January … mainly questioning a lot of the misinformation pages. I’m sure that helped turn the tide.

Germany now calls the United States the land of forbidden books. Think about that for ten seconds, please.

@jeffjarvis Well, I have been calling Olaf Scholz, and Angela Merkel before him, the leader of the free world.

Starting tea now, even though I started cooking it at 7 p.m. (which is late for me, but appointments).
Sure I had a 7.30 p.m. meeting but restarted soon after.
Imagine if I had kids how long this would take. Probably won’t be eating till 2 a.m. Then finishing up around 4 a.m. only to start the next day at 7 a.m.
No wonder parents look tired.

RIP Roger Corman. Great innings, at 98. And what a legacy. The Fast and the Furious (the original one), Machine Gun Kelly, Last Woman on Earth, Big Bad Mama, and hundreds more with his involvement. #film #RogerCorman

I went outside a number of times last night but could see no sign of the lights in the sky from here in Auckland. Mind you, there’s a new block of town houses obscuring our view to the South. Perhaps I should have been a nimby after all.

@billbennett Nothing but the faintest red glow to the south of the city from Tawa and Porirua, so we missed it, too. Just the moon and stars as usual here.

From a marketing POV, would you really want your brand appearing behind, say, the Finance Minister as she gives a speech? Tricky sponsoring events with politicians—plus you can't be guaranteed that if you are balanced (e.g. you also host an event with a shadow minister) that the other event will receive the same exposure.

@InayaShujaat It's a horrible site, complicit in genocide. When I sat on a school board, I was always trying to direct them to look at alternatives (e.g. their own website—at least the visitors there aren't bots) but without direct interference since my job was governance.

@nf3xn I saw the 1979 Hobbit cartoon on TV in the 1980s. That was enough for me.

Just finished a wonderful book written by a friend of mine in the rainbow community. He and I are of a similar age, and we have some similar beliefs, but one thing we differ on is that I never visualized Jon and Ponch on CHiPs naked!

jackyan,
@jackyan@mastodon.social avatar

@ricmac My friend Craig and I played CHiPs in the playground except blond Craig wanted to be Ponch and I wanted to be Jon, so that’s what we decided! 😁
