They're making the extremely arrogant assumption that nobody owns more than 1 prop and also that they don't have their own holiday playlists going. What if I want to leave the animated ghost cloche running all the time without hearing the same 30 second loop? what then??

January 18th, 1913, is the birthday of American science fiction novelist Alfred Bester (The Stars My Destination), who once wrote: “Don't ask the world to stop moving because you have doubts.”

The film “Yesterday” but for philosophy where everyone forgets the work of Saul Kripke and a struggling contingently employed philosopher becomes rich and famous by telling everyone that it’s necessary that water is H2O.

I made a thing today: turned a bucket into a stream-bottom viewer so I can search for benthic invertebrates. Especially looking forward to finding some native freshwater mussels.

Why I think everyone is in some sense pro-choice: Because if they truly believed that abortion was the murder of an innocent life, they would push for a complete ban after conception. There would certainly be no time limits or exceptions. And the full extent of the law would be deployed against women and doctors who engage in abortion. I think you can count the people who would push for this on one hand. In reality, the so-called pro-life groups are rallying around a limit that would leave 93 percent of abortions legal. This is why I hardly ever wade into this issue. Because it’s an utterly dishonest debate. It’s bullshit.

There are a lot of reasons someone would have an abortion later in pregnancy, and all of them are none of your fucking business.

Harris calls abortion bans “immoral.” This is a fact.

BREAKING: Chris Wallace just completely demolished Donald Trump’s debate performance. Wallace went so far as to call Donald Trump’s debate performance tonight the worst debate performance in American history. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

J.D. Vance plucking a Dostoevsky book off the shelf tonight, just for kicks, and reading the words: "Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”

I am flabbergasted at the lack of interest in the distinct possibility that a man with impaired mental function may be elected President... Does anyone actually believe that his mental capabilities don't matter ?
Whatever happened to this deeply significant story ? It was the lead on MSNBC, then demoted and ignored by the other major media outlets Isn't it important that people can see that a Presidential candidate is now talking complete gibberish ?
