Also, having China and Mexico both in the same general direction makes no sense whatsoever. I'm sure it is not the only inaccuracy in the map, this one just leapt off the screen for me.

He's still got a valid point. In songs and in some ads, they even show up.
Add cellphone ringtones to that list, the list of "whoever thought this was a clever idea is an idiot" ideas.

Man oh man, do I hope the Harris campaign embraces this trolling-the-troll tactic, and that it makes an impact with enough of the bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe dumb-as-a-rock crowd.

I wish politics didn't get reduced to "he/she was good on the teevee" level or below that.

In 2016, I remember Hillary being perfectly rational and clear during the debates. Yet I also remember reaction photos from across the country, people not even listening to the words being spoken, just squirming at the sight of Clinton, poisoned by decades of negative propaganda against her, utterly oblivious just how viscerally they had been manipulated by right-wing media's hatred towards "this... this... uppity librul woman".

They didn't listen to a single goddamned word being spoken by anyone. They might as well been watching a silent .gif as far as they were concerned. Such informed voters, so savvy! bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe!

Imagine a universe where mirrors didn't exist in its' multiverse...

I wonder how slippery that is when it rains.

I am so sorry you have to pass close to these repellent creatures in your daily life in your towns and cities. Politics + television and internet have taken something that was already stunted and vulnerable, warped it beyond all reach of reality and sanity, on a mass scale.

You know what you really need?
A committee to study the feasibility of a committee!

Oh will you look at that?

People are
talking about,
talking about,
talking about.

Some people even say!

Serving the will of The Lord! Which just so happens to be the will of the male head of the house. One and the same.

Stockholm Syndrome and they don't even know it.

"Well that does NOT look like a coincidence to me! God doesn't make mistakes!": most evangelicals, with their leave-brain-at-door-and-pick-up-your-crayons medieval "logic".

Well that was a spectacular read in your link, keep calling attention to it, 'cause it's gonna be a constant drip-drip-drip of people finding out. I didn't know, but starting today, I'm gonna experiment with SearXNG as my primary search engine, see how that goes!

 

For example, Humphrey Bogart as Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Or say Gregory Peck in Saving Private Ryan. Or how about James Dean as Luke Skywalker!

 

In the color lines of a spectrograph and what seems to be an area with a certain color, zooming in shows that this color is delicately split in half by a black vertical hairline, on one side it's the emission of photons of color by a hydrogen atom with a spin up electron, on the other it seems to be the same color but it's a spin down electron.

Whenever I hear that gap mentioned, 1/137 is invoked, but I'm not sure precisely what that means, and I'm visualizing that the color of the spectral emission can be divided or deconstructed into a total of 137 vertical lines, and the one in the middle is black.

Maybe it represents 1/137 of a photon's wavelength at a certain color?
