Many horrible things that were preventable, happened.
But you know why what happened?

It was the very same mediocre electoral stupidity we see today, the precious, lazy assholes, easily-manipulable into inaction, who latched onto the murdoch/limbaugh/drudge report propaganda of the time.

This was originally a Warhol idea, wasn't it?
A six hour film of the Empire State building, as the day goes and the lighting changes, I think it was meant as like a window from an apartment or office right in the thick of Manhattan.

Truth be told, I don't hate the idea. Currently, it could be a framed digital screen on a loop, or showing a webcam feed. Why not a live view of Istanbul, or of the Moroccan desert?

Potential voters were warned about this shit - among many other things - in 2016 and the sabotage of Merrick Garland's nomination, the blatant republican disdain for the democratic process, the enabling of fascist frenzy already whistling at full boil.
But vote for a woman?!! When pigs fly!!!

Potential voters were warned about this shit - among many other things - in 2024, the blatant republican disdain for the democratic process, how the fascist frenzy had stormed the Capitol four years prior and people getting killed in the process, the supreme court revoking women's right to choose, many MANY other things.
But vote for a woman?!! When pigs fly!!!

Non-voters didn't just shit on their own drinking water, they shat on ALL our water supply. Stubbornly ignorant, erratic, impatient and petty, oh-so-precious-and-pure deadweights that they are.

Star Trek, starring Lech Walesa... or is that Giorgio Moroder, idk I get confused sometimes... anyways, carry on, and may the force be with the eurodisco proletariat, or something.

"Ok, we're gonna have to do something about this, polish it up a bit, so potential customers don't snicker... what's your full first name, honey?"
"Gaylorda."

Don't you wish there was a way to quit enabling these shit-kickin' shitheads. To let them actually live what they preach, in isolation without their shitwater splashing and spilling around everywhere else.

None of their politicians asking for handouts behind closed doors and under the table, too embarrassed to admit to the voters that yes, indeed, a collective government IS extremely useful AND convenient when you need it the most, and not only when YOU need it but also when OTHERS need it, too.

But one might as well try and explain quantum mechanics to a goddamned brick wall.

You are NOT kidding here, the animation is top-notch, I have never seen this type of matter in any sort of intuitive way until now.

Then the person behind the counter looks like Larry "Bud" Melman aka Calvert DeForest, from David Letterman's late nite era.
One face blurred out, the other a Late Nite copy-paste.

There was this one time I was looking for the matches, and they were in my hand. What I can't remember is if I had the matches in my hand the whole time, or if I found them, grabbed them and kept on looking for them.

The statue may remain in place, but only if Mister Arthur Fonzerelli apologizes in public.

"I'm so-w-w-w-w-wrr..."
What was that, Mister Fonzerelli?
"I said I was so-w-w-w-w-wrr..."

 

Wherever there is matter in an ever-thinning universe, there might be an entire cosmologically-sized era dominated by an entirely different chemistry to what we have now.

 

If the answer is YES, a related follow-up question: if each visible color of the spectrum were to measure a centimeter in width, how far would I have to move the sensor from the red to detect the change from infrared to microwave, then to radio?

In the knowledge that Sir William Herschel discovered infrared by repeating Newton's experiment, but with a thermometer to measure the temperature of each component of the spectrum, and after placing the thermometer a bit to the side of the red light, in darkness, noticed quite by accident that the device would still register heat, therefore an invisible yet very real component of light was there, warming the thermometer.

 

Now I'm just being the curious layman here, but a Google/YouTube search proved fruitless.

 

It's one of those pet peeves that rub me the wrong way, and they all seem to do it, whether it's anywhere around The Ringer network, or the Earwolf network, or the Blank Check podcast to name a few, they always say "Ray" instead of "Ralph".

The man's real full name is Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, quite a fancy mouthful, but not even a hint of "Ray" or "Raymond" in there. Did everyone in the podcasting world decide to pronounce his name wrong on purpose?

 

Me first: in the early 80s, I remember the Vons supermarket chain had their own brand of sour cream dip for potato chips, one flavor that people I know loved was fresh pismo clam, it still had chunks of clam meat in there. One day it got yanked from the shelves and I've never seen it again.

More recently, about a decade ago, Trader Joe's carried cheddar-and-horseradish potato chips, then one day they were gone.

I would love... LOVE... to dip those horseradish chips into that clam dip... sigh.
