At least Obama's hypothetical Death Panels would have decided who deserved to die based on a rubric more complicated than "did they just piss off a high school dropout armed by the state"

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading β€œDEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a β€œ60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with β€œWe’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?
I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, β€œShould I smile or not smile?” and I said, β€œHow would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, β€œYou know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, β€œYou know, you do, too.”

At the top, above the illustration, are the words β€œtelescopes are” and at the bottom, below the illustration, are the words β€œtime machines”. Both are in pink and combine to make the phrase, telescopes are time machines.

cats in the wild don't meow.

if you have a talkative cat, you are living with a cat scientist, (working to the limits of linguistic ability) trying to communicate with a huge alien species,

an alien that doesn't understand the importance of second breakfast.

All developers rejoice! New timezone about to drop. Just coming out of committee though, so I guess it has a little ways to go before being signed into law. Hopefully they come up with a timely solution.
