Boston Dynamics Introduces All Electric Atlas
First they came to replace the dogs, but I did not speak out because I was not a dog…

It happened faster than I thought.
Why You Should Care About the Plastic in Your Poop
*doublepromote *quality info, even if it barely scratches the surface of this food web destroyer.
This seems like our backup Armageddon. If the effects of climate change don't wipe us out, the survivors get to die slowly of petroleum poisoning.
I hope those disposable forks were worth it.
I was surprised he didn't mention all the plastics we eat intentionally, like any toothpaste with sparkles for instance....that's just bits of plastic we are fed on purpose.
Bikini Carwash Surprise
Reminds me of a skating joke:
It is the Olympic men's figure skating. Out comes the
Russian competitor, he skates around to some classical music
in a slightly dull costume, performs some excellent leaps
but without any great artistic feel for the music.
The Judges' scores read: Britain 5.8: Russia 5.9: United
States 5.5: Ireland 6.0
Next comes the American competitor in a sparkling stars and
stripes costume, skating to some rock and roll music. He
gets the crowd clapping, but is not technically as good as
the Russian. He slightly misses landing a triple Salchow and
loses the center during a spin. But, artistically, it is a
more satisfying performance.
The Judges' scores read: Britain 5.8: Russia 5.5: United
States 5.9: Ireland 6.0
Finally out comes the Irish competitor wearing a tatty old
donkey jacket, with his skates tied over his wellies. He
reaches the ice, trips straight away and bangs his nose
which starts bleeding. He tries to get up, staggers a few
paces then slips again. He spends his entire 'routine'
getting up then falling over again. Finally he crawls off the
ice a tattered and bleeding mess.
The Judges' scores read: Britain 0.0: Russia 0.0: United
States 0.0: Ireland 6.0
The other 3 judges turn to the Irish judge and demand in
unison, "How the hell can you give that mess 6.0?!"
To which the Irish judge replies "You've gotta remember,
it's damn slippery out there."
$3 Date Night With Julianna
That was cute...
That reminds me of my kid at that age...just one long run on sentence that never really seems to have a break and flows from one stream of consciousness to the next eventually building to what you believe will be the dramatic finale but really is just an involuntary gasp triggered by an oxygen starved brain that once replenished resumes its partnership with the mouth to bring on a fourth act soliloquy of just how awesome My Little Pony is and oh don't you love that new pony sunset shimmer sparkle fart?
Tina Fey on Protesting After Charlottesville - SNL
Holy Fuck!! Google "Trump Bonwit Teller":

New York Times:
"Plain as the building might be, the entrance was like a spilled casket of gems: platinum, bronze, hammered aluminum, orange and yellow faience, and tinted glass backlighted at night. In 1929 American Architect magazine called it “a sparkling jewel in keeping with the character of the store.”
"Upon learning about the historic building’s imminent demolition, and recognizing the cultural value of its ornamentation, the Metropolitan Museum of Art convinced Trump to remove portions of the historic facade and donate them to the institution."
"Soon he was backpedaling, after realizing that it would take two more weeks and $32,000...to properly take the reliefs off the building. Using his fake alter ago, a “Trump spokesperson” named John Baron, he told the New York Times in 1980: “The merit of these stones was not great enough to justify the efforts to save them.” His construction workers chopped up the metalwork with torches and let the sculptures fall to the ground to crack into smithereens."
Two, 15 foot high, irreplacable, Art Deco bas-relief sculptures smashed by Trump to save $32,000 in costs to remove them.
My God, It's Full of St...Spiders
It's the reflection of light off the back of their eyes. When I walk the dogs or run early in the morning I wear a cap with led lights on the brim - exactly the right spot for this kind of reflection to shoot back so I can see it - different angle than if I was holding a flashlight. Anyway, with this light I noticed the reflection off deer eyes is greenish, more muted with rabbits, very bright with raccoons and foxes. And then one day I thought i noticed some bright tin foil or something sparkly on the ground - nope spider eyeballs! In the fall the sparkles on the ground are amazing. I highly recommend experimenting with using a led flashlight in the fall. It's very cool to find critters, including spiders, this way.
Russian SU-24's Fly Within 30 FT of US Warship
This was off the coast of Kaliningrad. If a Russian or a Chinese guided missile destroyer conducted excercises with the Cuban military (say two years ago) off the coast of Florida, the US military would not sit by idly.
It is a provocation, I agree. But so are military excercises on another nation's doorstep.
As far as I am concerned, I'd very much appreciate if every nation would stop taking their toys out for a spin in Eastern Europe. I'd prefer the Russians not to set up a brand sparkling new tank corps on their western border, and I'd prefer fucking NATO not to deploy hundreds of MBTs all over former Soviet territory.
That said, the sailors aboard the Cook seem to have the proper reaction: a laugh. For politicians (looking at you, Kerry!) to use this incident as an excuse to funnel more money towards the MIC was as predictable as it is despicable.
Edit: if they absolutely need to play war, Paradox is going to release HoI4 on D-Day -- you get to fight Russians for a mere 40€.

Woo! *fireworks!* *sparkles!*
Expensive Wine Is For Suckers
Yeah, I refuse to pay a premium for a placebo, Not because I feel I am immune to all that subconscious fuckery, but because I'd hate to think I am in any way subsidising wine snobbery.
Also, Champagne vs sparkling wine. They both stink. Idk how anybody puts their nose in a glass of either, regardless of price.

Alton Brown: How To Open A Bottle Of Champagne With A Saber
*sigh*
It's only called Champagne because it comes from the Champagne region, which happens to be in France, not because it's a sparkling wine. That's why the Spanish call it Cava and the Italians call it Prosecco.
Alton Brown: How To Open A Bottle Of Champagne With A Saber
Although in more recent years, there have actually been laws passed to prohibit the name "Champagne" to only wines that are produced in the Champagne region of France, There are still other wines that call themselves Champagnes, typically Sparkling wine.
There have been laws passed in both Canada and the U.s.a., however if you were calling your wine "Champagne" pre-2006, you're still allowed to do so, however the region that the grapes were grown for the wine MUST be included on the label.
Dick.
"French Champagne"... champagne only comes from France, dickhead.

I'd never heard it either! Cream is one of my all time favorite bands and this is a sparkling hidden gem from a mind blowing era. Thank you for commenting.
What a find! I don't believe I've ever heard this one before.
You Are Not Special: Commencement Speech from Wellesley High
there is a reason why many people think that High school was the best time of their lives.
There are plenty of times the best and brightest in high school don't lead successful lives in RL. There are plenty of times where the class fuckup ends up being the wealthiest person in the city or state.
Success for most people is a matter of right place and right time. Hard work is the exception, not the rule especially in America. Your success has more to do with your parents than you these days.
and praying doesn't do shit.
though I do like guinan's statement about not being special from TNG. A diamond is still a diamond, it sparkles no less if there is only 1 or a billion of them.
How a Face Changes Depending on the Lighting
Should add "Sparkles and Wine" to the tags imo, since that's the title of the original video.
