It’s real; I checked with Snopes.

Make The Rubble Bounce.

Not this one:

On second thought, your time would be better spent drafting a resolution supporting lap-dancing Flintstones cosplayers. It has the gravitas that the In Peaches Mentos fund-raising telethon lacks.

Hotter than intended:

Just saw a local severe weather alert. I think I’ll be okay.

…HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 3 AM PST SATURDAY…

• WAVES AND SURF…Northwest swells 12 to 14 feet at 17 to 18 second periods. Breakers of 16 to 22 feet possible.

• TIMING…Thursday night through early Saturday morning.

• HIGH TIDE…High tide will correspond with the peak of the swell Friday morning between 10 am and 12 noon. Localized coastal flooding possible as a result of increased wave run-up.

• IMPACTS…Large breaking waves along the coast will lead to increased wave run-up on beaches with waves topping and washing over large rocks and jetties. Use extra caution near the surf zone as these large waves will be capable of sweeping people into the frigid and turbulent ocean water. Cold water shock may cause cardiac arrest, and it also can cause an involuntary gasp reflex causing drowning, even for a good swimmer. Long periods increases the risk of rip currents. The surf zone will be dangerous due to strong currents and powerful breaking waves.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area, producing rip currents, localized beach erosion and sneaker waves.

Sequel to last year’s inspired-by-Wondermark calendars, it’s 2020 time. Generated with the example script I included in the PDF::Cairo distribution.

All I want for Christmas is less dynamically-loaded content on your home page. Seriously, if I switch to another tab while it’s loading, half the time I’ll come back and find that Safari has given up and reloaded it. Sometimes it reloads while I’m still scrolling down. Any other page is fine.

If I turn off Javascript, it loads a thousand times faster, but then the “Recommended For You” page is completely blank. Wish lists still work, although you have to dig a bit to find them.

This all seems to have started right before Black Friday. Perhaps dialing back on the poorly-debugged holiday scripting is in order?

Another day, another idiot Tesla driver:

The driver of the Tesla told police his car’s Autopilot feature had been activated and he was not facing forward – he was checking on his dog in the back seat, according to the state police’s Facebook post.

This assclown hit a parked police cruiser that had its hazard lights on.

First line of a UPI health story:

Roughly of all deaths worldwide are caused by inflammation-related diseases.

Well, that certainly narrows it down.
