    That jeopardy clip is pretty great. Of course now after reading this, I have to decide if I'm gonna give up sports or give up books.

    Wait, shit. Do I have to give up being intelligent to keep sports? What about hunting and fishing, is that different or the same boat? Videogames? Can I keep those and baseball?

    This would be so much easier if I wasn't a one dimensional caricature!

    As a librarian I just want to point out that you can give up all of those and keep books because there are books covering all of them! :)

    You don't need to give up fishing so long as you book while fishing. My understanding of hunting (derived entirely from books, obvi) is that you cannot book while hunting, so that one's gotta go.

    Pizza shop workers take down armed robber, only to find it's their former boss.

    The tweet that led me here noted, "What is this Scooby Doo shit?"

    I was much more excited when I misread this as armed robot

    Things said on the Philadelphia police scanner, 2/4/2018 edition:
    10:36 p.m. “We need somebody at Broad and Walnut, southwest corner. People on the pole.”

    10:46 p.m. “It’s endless, chief. Endless.”

    10:50 p.m. “I got people coming up the ramps on 676 eastbound. I don’t have a clue how they’re getting up … Should I go up to get those people off 676?”

    10:53 p.m. “About four stories above the Wawa we got people out on the ledge. I can’t tell how they came up. If they’re not allowed to be there can we get them down? … They’re coming out of the window up there.”

    11:11 p.m. “They’re on top of trash trucks. There is to be no one on top of trash trucks, guys.”

    11:14 p.m. “We have multiple people on Broad Street swinging on light poles.”

    11:20 p.m. “Climbing the trash trucks at 13th and Market.”

    11:25 p.m. “I need to get the fire extinguisher out of my trunk. I got a fire on Broad Street just south of South. Someone lit a Christmas tree on fire.”

    11:26 p.m. “They just flipped a car over here. If you could get a medical response team over here, I’d greatly appreciate it.”

    11:38 p.m. “They’re trying to tear multiple light posts down and I don’t have anyone to counteract it right now.”

    12:24 a.m. “I got somebody jumping on top of the fire truck now.”

    Ah, Philly - the Most Ironically Named City In America.

    I read all of that and just wonder what it would be like if that wasn't a celebration of a sports team winning, but a literal all-out riot with those numbers, that energy, widespread enough that it cannot be contained. They're helpless enough in front of this.

    It wasnt until this post that I realized this was in context of their sportsball team winning.

    Sure, and I notice they didn't. They treated this mayhem and destruction with kid gloves compared to the artillery they use on things like BLM which are about a quarter of this size.

    Bad news: People have figured out how to use deep learning to train face-swap systems, and immediately started using it to face-swap celebrities into porn videos.

    Gone right: PornHub has declared this to be a form of non-consensual sex and is banning it from their site, showing they have a better understanding of consent and higher standards than the entirety of the Republican Party.

    And even righter: The same technology is now being used to face-swap Nicolas Cage into everything.

    Hungry Dog "Accidentally" Starts Fire
    SOUTHWICK, Mass. --
    A golden retriever in Massachusetts is probably in a fair bit of trouble after accidentally starting a small fire while sneaking pancakes off a stove while its owner was away.

    In a video shared by the Southwick Fire Department, a dog can be seen jumping up on a stove and knocking a pancake off the plate on top.

    Presumably, while on the stove, the dog accidentally turned on one of the burners which led to flames erupting from the appliance and the house filling with smoke.

    Luckily, for all involved, the house's alarm system alerted emergency responders who were able to get to the house before the flames could spread.

    Don't know if we can embed facebook videos so you might have to go to the link to see the furry arsonists.

    Basically, there's a bunch of S&S documents that were marked "attorneys eyes only" because they contain some proprietary or financial info that should not be revealed to anyone who could misuse them. The whole point of marking something "attorneys eyes only" is that the client doesn't see them, so the client can't magically gain access just by declaring they're their own lawyer. Since Milo is an idiot who thinks the legal system works like it does on TV shows, he thought he could.

    That's the key thing. The judge knows that the reason Milo wants these documents is to dump them online, so no, they're not going to give them to him because he's now representing himself.

    Just because you don't think anyone can see your cunning plan means that no one can.

    More dog tricks: Woman catches neighbor's dog riding her pony (Get your mind out of the gutter)
    Callie Schenker, 22, was greeted with an unusual sight when she pulled into her driveway Thursday night.

    Her neighbor's Corgi was sitting on top of her one-eyed pony, Cricket.

    Schenker started laughing, whipped out her phone and pressed record.

    . . .

    Schenker said her favorite part of the video is how the Corgi continued to sit on top of Cricket even as the pony began moving. At one point, the dog looks over his shoulder at the camera as the two disappear into the darkness.

    "He rode it like people," Schenker said. "That, to us, is the killer of the video — that he actually stayed on."

    Bad News: Florida Man has a son, and he is also Florida Man.
    A young boy who was really set on getting a stuffed toy from a claw-style vending machine at a Florida restaurant ended up getting stuck inside it on Wednesday, according to officials.

    q1ovckjxi5oa.png

    Luckily an off-duty fireman was having dinner at the restaurant, and he called in help from the station. The kid was out of the machine in 5 minute, nobody was hurt, there was only minimal damage to the machine, and they let him keep the toy.

    Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion.
