You know, I was really excited to find a deodorant that said Pine on it and it actually smelled like pine, not sandalwood and cheap cologne. But this brand is so obnoxious that I'm genuinely embarrassed I ever used it.

They really have to come up with more and more excuses to think about Hunter's hog don't they?

The 'i' is capitalized. The multinational corporate conglomerate that owns them is called Independent Journalism.

I sense a riot in the near future.

I have never enjoyed Adam Conover. He's like Penn Jillette but even more insufferable and less funny, which is a triumph in both respects. But unlike Penn Jillette, Adam has always seemed disingenuous to me. So I'm not particularly surprised to see him shilling crypto, and not particularly surprised to see him backpedal for dear life. It is weird to hear him keep calling himself a comedian. I genuinely didn't know that's what he saw himself as.

The text on the left is legible and from what I make out says Kaizer Chiefs, a South African sports team. Most commonly used AI wouldn't be that good at text in context.

We all know that a giant seawall will be erected at some point. And of course it will be at the expense of the poor to protect the wealthy. Maybe they can turn the poorer neighborhoods into beachfront property.

I did a deep dive not too long ago on the JFK assassination and what struck me the most is how both the conspiracy theorists and the conspiracy debunkers all seem to take for granted that the police were good at taking and collating witness testimony. Seeing that person X changed their story or person Y's story doesn't align with Z's is only compelling if there's a competent person gathering this information.

This is even better when you realize that it's the same image, just cropped differently.
