The Big Lebowski

It’s also kind of a fringe theory.

The attribution of the poisoning to the CIA in Albarelli’s book has been roundly criticized. Historian Steven Kaplan, author of an earlier book about the events, said that this would be “clinically incoherent: LSD takes effects in just a few hours, whereas the inhabitants showed symptoms only after 36 hours or more. Furthermore, LSD does not cause the digestive ailments or the vegetative effects described by the townspeople.”

To be clear: I have no reason to believe that the CIA circa 1951 wouldn’t or couldn’t pull this kind of stunt, just that the evidence that they in fact did is pretty shaky.

Colegiala? Yeah, ew.

How about an SMBC comic?

Weirdly enough, I’m much more aware of “The Problem With Music” than any of his actual music

Is that specifically what it is? I thought it was just a news alert

Help me out here, I’m having trouble picturing this. Like… a pair of complete, full-size gazelles? Just fastened to the woman’s torso? If not, which parts?

Is IDF even letting foreign journalists into Gaza right now?

Genuinely curious what he had in mind. A GNOME desktop? A terminal shell?

Will no one spare a thought for that poor, poor inkjet?

Shush you, Venice is magnificent. Wouldn’t want to live there but it’s an extraordinary place absolutely worth experiencing. Ancient, labyrinthine, palaces and churches everywhere, it’s like stepping into the Renaissance.

Sssssshhh, there there, it’s ok. They’re feature phones

Don’t know if the panelist that kept saying ‘pussy’ was deliberately baiting her into revealing her hypocrisy, but if they were then fucking bravo.

Woof, thought I was having déjà vu for a minute. Nope, just republicans being republicans, yet again.

Quoth Wikipedia, “Even when at peak magnitude of 2.5, this recurrent nova is dimmer than about 120 stars in the night sky.”

The fact that “recurrent nova” is a thing caught me by surprise though, Reminded me of the on/off star from A Deepness in The Sky

Someone tell the Quebec nationalists, maybe then we can concentrate on more important things than english-only trash cans

Didn’t know about this. How long are we talking, minutes, hours?

Alpha Centauri baby! Still one of my favourite games, I wonder if it still works

Reminds me of this dialogue from Ghost World

Enid : You know, we need to find a place where you can go to meet women who share your interests.
Seymour : Well maybe I don’t want to meet someone who shares my interests. I hate my interests.

Yeah, that’s fair. Still curved though. In my defense I had it right in my brain, the idea got garbled on its way to the keyboard
