“Can’t we get Mongolian BBQ?”

“We have Mongolian BBQ at home.”

“It puts the lotion on it’s skin…”

Slonkin fat doinks?

I believe that’s the original depiction of Thing.

Galileo!

Nice shot.

Before this month, I had no idea there were so many Christmas-themed Addams Family comics!

Got a little rust on there. Should have gotten the Trucoat.

Product R&D engineer here. I have a product manager who only knows how to give one piece of feedback: make it smaller and slimmer. What requirement is driving this? Can’t say. What user need are we trying to address? No idea. But smaller=better for some reason.

This is how it starts. Denny’s is slowly dying. Its revenue in 2025 is half what it was 20 years ago. Denny’s is trying to stop the bleeding by scaling back, but it’s too little too late. Private equity smells blood in the water. This will end just like Toys R Us, Sears, and so many others.

So long, Denny’s. Soon you will be gutted and sold for scrap, and your name will be added to the list:

It’s 100% done, but I need you to keep waiting…

Still 100% done. Keep waiting…

Okay, actually done now.

I used to hate Illinois Nazis. I still do, but I used to, too.

That’s a rad-ish horse.

Levis makes a huge range of quality. The stuff at shopping mall department stores is crap. But the made-in-Mexico shrink-to-fit 501s you can find at hardware stores are phenomenal. And they are still only like US$50.

Boomers hold over 50% of all wealth in the US, while Gen Z and Millennials together hold 10%.

Also, the median age of first-time homebuyers in the US is now 40..

Boomers pulled up the ladder behind them.

Our friends are all aboard!

IANAL, but my understanding is this is how laws are challenged in the US. A plaintiff cannot file suit against the legislature, or the government in general, to challenge a law. A plaintiff needs to sue an individual within the government who has enforced the law, and then demonstrate that the enforcement of said law has caused the plaintiff harm. In this case the law will be enforced by Newsome or someone within his administration like the Secretary of State.

I learned this when Texas passed their anti-abortion law in 2021 (S.B. 8). Rather than having government officials enforce that law, the state offloaded enforcement to private citizens by paying them cash rewards for successfully suing alleged abortion providers. Since state officials are not doing the enforcing they are not directly causing harm to any potential plaintiffs. There’s nobody in the state government you can sue to initiate a challenge to the law.
