Beef Tea?




The FAA ordered inspections of 737s after 4 non-fatal engine shutdowns.
They missed hanging out with the 737 MAXes, so now they're together.


San Francisco is not happy about naming a hospital for The Zuck.  They don't want to be associated with Faceyspaces, in spite of the $75 million donation.


I always wondered how there was a single unix user showing up in the stats. This person must be responsible for the single Lynx browser entry. If you don't know what this means, forget you ever saw it... I was not here and this did not happen.



Dear lefty:

  • You offended me and I'm never coming back
  • Good.  May all your pizzas have those huge bubbles in them.




Told You So

Google peeks into your android phone to spy on usage of their and 3rd party apps. Among other things, no doubt.


President Trump's re-election campaign has accused Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile of "suppression of political speech" over the carriers' blocking of spam texts sent by the campaign.  This one's loaded with issues... nobody likes spam. On the other hand, any political speech, at this point, is allowed to reach end users, unsolicited. How about we meet in the middle and stop political speech from reaching our phones?


"DNA is millions of times more efficient at storing data than your laptop's magnetic hard drive," reports Popular Mechanics."

Hey Bob... going to get that new hard drive for your laptop?
Heck no, Stan, I'm going to jack it straight into my nipple. My DNA can store my entire 4 terabyte pr0n collection, free!



Your love is like an aluminum baseball bat to the head



This should go completely unnoticed:

An Arkansas senator has described slavery as a "necessary evil" on which the American nation was built. Read the article - the phrase was first uttered by the Founding Fathers. But still.....

Money burning a hole in your pocket?
The camera that took the footage of Rodney King getting beaten is up for auction. Bidding starts at $225,000, so get your cash ready!



NEWS:
Famotidine (Pepcid) has no effect against The Flying AIDS.
Ranitidine (Zantac) can give you cancer - call 1-800-SUE-NOWZ
Other things ineffective against The Flying AIDS:
applesauce, bleach, gunpowder, detergent pods (but they're still yummy), car exhaust, belly button lint, and urine. Anthrax is starting to show promise.

I made my fortune in rubber 



People in several states are receiving packets of seeds, which appear to be from China. The Feds are on it, testing the seeds to make sure they're not harmful. They are warning everyone not to plant the seeds.

I'm proud of my country; it's a country of action. If there's a link, we'll click on it. If there's a detergent pod, we'll eat it. If the sign says 55mph, we'll drive faster!

STANNNNNLEY!
Yes, Maude?
We got a box today.
That's nice, Maude.
It was kinda heavy.
Wonderful.
Let's open it.
Let's not.
Oh, look.. it's a... bomb?
Gee, you don't see those every day.
Ooh, it didn't come with any instructions. It's 2020 - you'd think people would send bombs out with instructions. It just says "BOMB" on it.
Thoughtless.
I know - I'll put it on the stove. Let's see.... I made sure it was flat, and I pushed the button.
WHAT button?
The Bomb button, of course.
Maude, someone sent us a bomb and you armed it?
Well, it had a button on it. I had to. I sure wish there was some federal authority to tell us not to blow it up.



We bought a Spaniel Enrichment Device. It's a board with 6 slides, under which you put a treat and the dog has to figure out how to get it. She sniffed, looked unhappy, then figured it out in short order. Phew... we thought maybe she was one of the special puppies.....



SJW SMILIES


The NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL announced studies on social distancing, so they know how far apart to kneel.


Surveillance is racist.
Ok, nobody said it directly yet, but Rite Aid pharmacies put facial recognition cameras in  hundreds of stores in low income and less white neighborhoods.
Rite Aid said the rollout was “data-driven,” based on stores’ theft histories, local and national crime data and site infrastructure.
Rite Aid dumped the program because facts are racist.
Not that anybody likes surveillance. Walgreen's uses one for advertising, so we don't shop there.
