Fiddles And Whimmy Diddles
The couple in the screenshot cover are Eric Jordan and his wife Fay. My uncles partner in the movie. I had the biggest crush on Fay for my whole life. Beautiful woman.
Sea Creature or Afghan Hound
A little change in punctuation, capitalisation, and spelling clears it up a bit.
It's Cousin Itt swimming.
To be fair, I didn't know that it's supposed to be Itt rather than It. The resemblance and grace are indeed striking though.
While I'm here, my favourite example of necessary capitalisation is that time I helped my uncle Jack off a horse.

King Joffrey was obviously misunderstood
He was obviously up to no good, started making trouble in the neighborhood.
He drank one poisoned drink and his mom got scared, so she blamed Uncle Tyrion and had a trial where lies were aired.
Optimistic Nihilism - Kurzgesagt
I find it much more sad that people are willing to delude themselves with placating mythos that can't stand the slightest critical examinations than I find the fact that there's almost certainly no god(s) by any definition. Lack of a supreme being is not a scary thing to me in the least, but a capricious, judgmental, incomprehensible, vengeful god ready to cast immortal souls into hell for eternity over small rule infractions is horrifying.
Reality is scary. I get why people would hide their heads under the safety blanket of religion(s), I just disagree that it's any more useful against reality than hiding under a sheet is against home invaders. It might make you feel better because you can't see them, but that's all (unless they are as dumb as the bugblatter beast of Traal, who thinks if you can't see it, it can't see you).
I feel bad for your uncle, who it sounds like believes in god out of a fear instilled in him as a child. Consciously, it sounds like he understands it's an irrational belief, but fear makes people do irrational things all the time. Fear is the mind killer.
You keep thinking that so you don't get sad.
I have an uncle who told me that he believes because the idea of no god scares him. I appreciate that honesty. That makes sense to me. I however don't find the fact there is no god scary or sad. It just is. There are enough real things you could be scared or sad about.

(edit) ugh, i don't know why i fell for engaging about god stuff. Now i feel stupid. shinny got me.
If that is all you have to live for, isn't that pretty sad? Thankfully we live in a Universe which does have a Creator, and He is personally interested in and interactive with His creation. Our lives have meaning and value and are eternally significant.
Woman freaks out after Father gets joint custody
This is mom on her absolute BEST behaviour.
Does anyone think she behaves better when not in court? Does anyone think her family members don't physically inject themselves when not in court?
This seemed like a good reason for the judge to reverse his decision and give dad primary custody and mom supervised visitation, along with anger management classes, and tack on an order requiring uncle (or whoever the guy from the back is) to not be present.
Poor kid. This is far from the end of it's nightmare.
Old Mario vs. Ghetto Ghandi on The Price is Right
It's more like off season Santa vs Snoop Dogg's uncle.
Extreme Target Shooting Gone Wrong
"Missed it by THAT much!"

Private Snafu in "Censored", war film from 1944
When my dad got shipped out, he had set up a code beforehand.
The first letter of first letter home would tell his younger brother where he was headed.
Started with the word "I."
So Uncle Vic knew he was going to India.
Trump Russian connection proven.
wtf is this "news" network? I saw this recently at my uncle's house and was baffled when I saw some kind of crazy pro russia propaganda
The Inconvenient Truth About the Democratic Party
She needs to get all the mileage out of her position at Vandy that she can before August. She's the uncle Ruckus of Vanderbilt.

The Hidden History of Korea's Printing Innovation
my uncle owned a typesetting shop that was made obsolete by the computer industry; at the end, I think they were doing church bulletins and wedding announcements and the like; it is now a Subway restaurant; progress?
my uncle worked for the providence journal for all his working life.working the presses,and his fingernails were permanently stained by the ink he used.
this brought back memories of my uncle paul,and made me a tad weepy.
thanks korean dude!

Bill Maher - Elizabeth Warren Interview
It would be like calling a black politician "Uncle Tom" if the opposition had been doing it first.
Trump has been relentless with his little jabs if he smells blood in the water. "Little Marco", etc. Taking offence is precisely what Trump wants to see. Maher arguably gave her a chance to own it and show that it didn't bother her, but she didn't take it.
My take is that Warren was expecting softball. Maher got a bit impatient with her going full tilt with politician-speak and threw a changeup. By the end of the interview he seems to regret having prodded her a bit. But the thing is, that interview was softball compared to what she'd face if she runs in 2020. Then, interviewers won't throw changeups, it'll be chin-music fastballs instead.
I know that Maher didn't mean to offend her and that he was just alluding to Trump's comments, but I still found it kinda unsavoury.
It's a bit like calling a black politician "uncle tom". Sure, you might not mean anything by it (other than those other guys are awful and they'll call you names), but I'm not surprised she took offence at it.

Hmm. I really like her, but I'm a little bit concerned about her reaction to some of Maher's quips/questions:
A) The Pocahontas thing seemed to really throw her off. I don't think Maher said it with any malice; just to remind her that there are some unreachable people who will vote Republican no matter what.
