First off, that's actually the coolest name for a bird that I've ever heard.

Second, I don't think the birds would be bothered if they found out. They have no conception of what either Satan or a jar is. I'll give credit that they can differentiate day from night. The rest would just be nonsense to them.

I'll take the hell to pay if Dems win the election over the living hell if they don't, thanks.

There's a rule against that, yeah, but it's easy to get around the rules. All he needs to do is get one of his colleagues to scratch it for him.

It would be very on-brand, and probably entertaining, if these two send absolute bottom dollar lawyers to represent their case.

One of the most transcendent vocal passages I know of. Just as affective hearing it the hundredth time as it was the first.

I think Ron Jarzombek might be a cyborg, but I can't prove it.

Edit: Sorry for the bum link. The original video is super cool, but Dailymotion apparently sucks. I'll try to see if I can get a work around and show it in the comments.

Hey, y'all remember how you were feeling about 4 weeks ago as the news media was eviscerating Biden over his debate performance? What a difference a month can make. I'm pretty jubilant this morning. As the kids say, LFG!!!

This album stands toe to toe with any of the most classic death metal albums you can name.

I don't recall having seen this pop up in this community. Give a rundown of your favorite albums. Top slot, top 3, top 5, 10... whatever's easiest to you since I know it can be tough to narrow things down to a specific degree.

It'll be interesting to see where everyone is coming from in this regard. Could create for a good opportunity to discuss albums, find people with similar tastes, argue that a different album from someone's catalog is better, etc.

I'll throw mine down in a separate comment once I get it figured out.

When asked for comment on the ramifications of operating business efficiently upon an already struggling working class, who are finding it increasingly difficult to secure housing and adequate nutrition for themselves and their children, Diller's lips formed a smile twice as broad as his face, eyes glossing over as he stared dreamily into the distance with eyes twinkling like the night sky.

The above quote may or may not actually appear in the linked article.

My favorite song by these guys. It's not their heaviest/most technically interesting/most classic/etc., but it hooks me so hard.

If House Republicans are saying that you can't hold office if you're too fucked in the head then I have some bad news for House Republicans.

I'd been dissatisfied with Reddit for a while due to things like hive mind mentality and jokes repeated ad nauseum. I always enjoyed more when people were just posting their honest opinions or analysis of current events from a perspective that I don't have. There wasn't really anywhere else to go as an active "forum based" aggregator, so when the ground swell of people leaving due to the API fiasco came along and enough of a crowd started setting up shop on a different platform I jumped at the opportunity to ditch that place.

Glad to be done with it.

He's the guy that challenged Union Rep Sean O'Brien to a fistfight during a senate hearing. Doesn't get much more Markwayne than that.

RFK takes no sides.

The brain worm took both sides. The left and the right hemisphere.

I've seen letter openers that are more threatening than that thing.

I was genuinely not expecting this. As little reason as this Supreme Court has given to inspire confidence, I thought this was a bridge too. I feel sick to my stomach.
