The judge made a good point: Trump never denied the sex happened. If they had, he could have struck that part of her testimony. But they never denied it happened, have never taken any legal action to stop her from saying it, and didn't bother raising any questions about it on cross-examination.

It's like Trump's lawyers expect the judge to do their job for them.

Do you carefully read the EnergyGuide labels when you’re out shopping for appliances? I don’t.

From this we can infer Krugman does not subscribe to Technology Connections

If you gotta problem with Canada gooses you gotta problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate

It's a way to cut headcount without doing layoffs. It's usually followed one or two quarters later by an actual layoff.

The Adams, Roosevelts, and Bushes: "Are we a joke to you?"

Shit apples, Randers

Remind me of the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust

You can get used to being ashamed. Lord knows I have.

American citizens need to get used to the idea that their tax dollars will kill innocent people, both domestically and internationally, and that stopping it even temporarily requires massive protest and economic disruption.

If you aren't ashamed to be an American, you haven't studied enough history.

As we learned from Futurama it's the body that runs for president, not the head.

For me it was Tuesday

For me it's "why are you not texting" followed quickly by "oh god who died?!"

I think the biggest thing in gaming in the next few years will be Godot giving indie devs the ability to cheaply create games without needing to license an engine.

A video posted to YouTube on Saturday appears to show the whale’s carcass hanging off the bow of the vessel, with the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline in the background.

Goddamn that's patriotic

Where's FlyingSquid with the trombone pic?

I guess "It's just business" has been used to justify worse things

I think I'll blame the people who actually have the capability of doing something about it. They could have done this years ago.

I blame phone companies for that. They've had the ability to block scam calls for a while but haven't because it makes them money. Now people don't even bother answering their phones anymore, especially if it's an unknown number, so the only people who respond to polls aren't representative of the population.

I remember when commercial breaks were the time when you went to the bathroom/got snacks and then ran back and jumped over the couch to get back before the show started again.

But most ads don't work on a conscious level. They're there to make whatever is being advertised seem normal and good, like birds singing in the trees, background noise you associate with good feelings. The point isn't to get people to engage rationally. The point is to elicit positive emotions and associate them with a brand.

I don't think I'm going to ever buy a car made after 2020. Maybe earlier. None of the new features really appeal to me, and there are a lot of things like this that actively turn me off from wanting a new car.

If they could just give me an electric version of a 1985 VW Golf I'd be happy as a clam. But they want to put me in some lumpy, heavy, clumsy CUV with tracking technology and all the touchscreens and I don't like it.
