He can never be the worst person on Earth, Trump has that locked in. But it now makes sense why he wants to go to Mars.

Okay but seriously why does Alice immediately bring up a hypothetical person getting bitten when I'm in the room bleeding from my actual dog bite? Alice doesn't give a shit about me.

Knowledge is knowing the common definition of fruit doesn't include tomato.

Imagine owning a Cybertruck and being like "this doesn't draw enough attention to me, the main character"

This feels like a case where botanical science should just have picked a different name. If you invalidate everything people think of as a berry and then tell them a dozen things that are clearly not berries are, in fact, berries, you're just making the word berry meaningless.

Berry means a tiny, usually sweet, fruit-like growth from a plant. The kind that is usually picked in bunches. The kind that you use to make smoothies. That's a berry.

Botany did us all a disservice by choosing the word "berry" to mean "a specific thing which invalidates everything you think is a berry." Just call that plant structure something in Latin, ffs.

This breaks the rider's collarbone. (Still better than not having a face though)

Daughter. The alternate universe shenanigans that led to her appearing alive in an episode also led directly to her having a child, who becomes a character in an even later episode.

With as much bad faith antisocial sociopathic shit Mark Zuckerberg has done, I truly don't understand why anyone would use anything associated with meta. He's Elon Musk with more experience at being.. that.

Bluesky isn't going to be the savior of social media, but with the death of Cohost it's the least bad option available.

This is gospel truth.

If you were the patient, you'd still be happy about that. If the surgeon is cheating the stats, but has already accepted you as a patient, then you have the highest chance of survival.

It seems far more likely to me that Putin requested them. There was a brief period where America had a monopoly on anti-COVID medical tech.

The story as reported isn't clear on whose idea it was. For Trump to spontaneously have a brainstorm to help another human being, even if it's Putin, doesn't really check out for me.
