The Department of Defense never lost a single F-15 in air-to-air combat. (Two were lost to surface-to-air missiles.)

If you're a subscriber to HBO, it's time to watch all the things you want to see before it's time to boycott.

Naming, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors.

The invention of the thigh gap was such a terrible crime in the ongoing torture of women.
I can't say how proud I am of @usc.edu that they're on this list.
Boundaries are good. If someone sets one with you, strongly consider respecting it. If you are inclined to tell them that you think they are only setting a boundary because of mental illness, perhaps reconsider.
Only time I volunteered during a primary.
I'm old enough to remember the existence of Elizabeth Warren, presidential candidate
"What's the difference?"
"One of them is my name. The other is not."
Sumer is the earliest known civilization, located in the historical region of southern Mesopotamia.
And, yet, sumer is cumin in.
Basically the new John Waters heuristic is to not sleep with anyone who boastfully uses ChatGPT
