Say super geniuses who’ve figured out how not to blame their own mediocre self-centered inertia.

If Democracy has indeed failed in the US, it is because of soundbite-driven, intellectually lazy and dishonest about it, holier than thou, lazy, impatient and easily-angered nonvoters, as easily manipulable as the rabid, bigoted right wing.

Pico de gallo is also the name of a street stand fruit cocktail in my town in Mexico.
Chunks of jicama, orange and… there’s another one I’m forgetting.

You sprinkle salt and powdered chili on top, then squeeze the juice of a large lime on top. It’s all eaten with a toothpick, you spear the chunks of jicama, orange and the other one.

The blues singer character Mississippi Gary from The Kids In The Hall comes to mind:

I got the blues so bad, I can’t even close my eyes… I gotta call a friend on the phone and tell him - “Buddy, come over and shut my eyes for me, I got the blues”.

This is the mechanism that makes Cepheid stars regularly and predictably change intensity

Doesn’t it also make the Cepheid noticeably swell (then deflate) in circumference? Or does it maintain the same basic size, and it’s just storing magnetic bubbles of hot plasma like a halo, before bursting and releasing all that accumulated material?

Freedum moisturr!

The dynamics there due to sheer gravity, magnetism and levels of energy/radiation that are utterly alien to our daily experience.

If they wanted to use the term “deeply wrong discrepancy”, maybe they should have gone with the difference between the universe’s expansion predicted by quantum vacuum energy and the actual, much slower observed rate of expansion.
By “much slower”, I mean that the theory and the observations differ by something like one hundred and twenty five (!!!) orders of magnitude.

Echoes of - “The internet is not a dump truck, it’s a series of tubes”.

Refusal to cancel attacks on Ukraine and democracies worldwide shows kremlin does not want peace.

we might just as well die

Because it’s not what you expected?
I can assure you, whatever you expected is just as strange and absurd as this.

Let me put this in another way:
To think that time might have not existed, then started up at some point, breaks my brain.
To think that time might go on for infinity in the past, with no starting point, also breaks my brain.

Last seen in 1980

Right around the time when the so-called “greatest” generation and the silent generation electorally told liberal Democrats to go fuck themselves and die, over several consecutive elections in which the baby boomers sleepwalked just like all the non-voting idiots of today.

This one looks like it’s REALLY looking down on you, with intense disapproval. And it’s got a big nose.

Frida?

He’s got that ol’ New York City Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Blues again, momma!

Sort of gives a whole new meaning to social darwinism.

This one might be a little different.

I eat only once a day, but it’s a big one, right before bed.
When I order takeout from… say my favorite burger place in town, usually a double cheeseburger, I ask that they apply no mayo, mustard nor ketchup, as I will reheat it all on the air fryer/toaster oven then apply condiments, don’t want the bread to be getting soggy for hours before dinner.

I also tell them to put the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on the side, for the same reason. I bring my own reusable containers for the separate things, to create no plastic/styrofoam waste. That includes tiny ones for the dressing and for the runny cheese for the fries.

Which reminds me of the fries - back home, hours later, I will refry them for a minute or two, they come out almost as good as new.

But this all being home, I can also play around with the burger. Such as stuffing it with a full onion, thinly sliced and caramelized on low heat with olive oil, pepper and a dash of Lawry’s seasoned salt. Maybe also sliced mushrooms sautéed in butter. I’ll also add a few extra slices of yellow heirloom tomato.

One last thing: while the onions are caramelizing on the toaster oven, I’ll also put another tray with a handful of asparagus in olive oil, pepper and garlic salt.

Like a friend described it, I like tuning the burger!
As in “car tuning”, custom burger mods.
