Richard Pryor made jokes about his cock looking like a foot from all the STDs he’d caught, and about setting himself on fire while smoking crack. We fear he would not...

Unemployment Rates 2007-Present →
bthny: thomaswheatley: melissacullens: Well that was sad. Like watching everyone in america turn their lights out. Sad but wildly interesting. The U.S. economy is a very strange thing, just look at how unemployment starts in a few already distressed areas (Michigan, Mississippi, South Carolina, parts of California) and trickles towards the center of the country which, relatively, is...

Three Reasons Why We're Closer to Fusion Power -... →
I think it was SimCity 2000 that let you build fusion reactors at a certain point. They were great. Based solely on that dim memory, I propose real-life reactors will be equally awesome.

Party of No →
via jasencomstock, think4yourself, azspot: Paragons of fiscal discipline, every Senate Republican today voted against reestablishing “pay-as-you-go” budgeting rules that mandate that any new spending must be paid for.
