The only thing I can think of is that it’s implying that as you get smarter you find cavemen more attractive and consider modern humans to be ugly.
If only the rest of the US could have made it as explicit as Vermont did:
No person ought, or of right can be compelled, to attend any religious worship, or erect, or support any place of worship, or maintain any minister, contrary to the dictates of his conscience.
–Vermont Constitution, Article 3
Woah Momma!

I like that Romero is bypassing LRG
Is there something wrong with LRG that we should know?
“Drenched from head to toe in the blood of your opponent, you stand over their crumpled body.”
“Sweet! I loot the corpse. What do you I find?”
“A small note: ‘Note to self: get cure for horrible blood plague.’”
“…fuck.”
Liquid War was awesome. One of my favorite things about it was that you could make your own maps using black and white bitmaps.
I’ve been meaning to try that game where you play a hole that gets bigger by devouring everything.
When unrolled it might say “KICK OUT THE JAMS!”
Never listened to OA, but Strict Scrutiny is one I listen to for Supreme Court news and analysis.
Opossums are one of those creatures that remind you just how much of evolution is driven by the rule of “good enough.” Sure, they could have evolved to have more wrinkles on their brains, or the ability to cross the road without getting crushed, or to not look like an old scrub brush that’s way past its replacement date, but they didn’t need to, because the way they are is good enough!
I started off with melons and coconuts but have switched to filling up old yogurt tubs with water and freezing them and then smashing the ice blocks. Less cleanup.
I bought a warhammer, and then I thought to myself, “You know what’s better than having a warhammer…?”
Look at the last handful of democratic presidential losses to see this in action:
Gore gets nominated due to familiarity. He has the charisma of a warm sponge. He loses (barely, and not the popular vote; by the way, FUCK the electoral college) to George W. “I’d have a beer with him and hey wasn’t his dad president?” Bush.
Kerry somehow rises to the top of the next democratic primary, a fact that I will never understand, because he also has the charisma of a warm sponge. Bush is familiar and a wartime president. He is re-elected in defiance of God and nature.
Obama comes along and is a once in a generation political talent. Things are pretty good for a while.
Hillary enters the primary and wins mainly based on name recognition. She presents herself as having the charisma of a warm sponge, when we all know full well that she has the charisma of a wood chipper, and since we’re pretty good at detecting artifice she loses.
In 2019 we’ve got a pretty good set of primary choices, but Biden gets into the ring and that’s pretty much fucking it, because, again, he has name recognition, so he blows past some better, younger choices and manages to leverage his name and Trump’s fuck-ups enough to win.
The pattern is that name recognition will get you a real long way, especially with low information voters, and that is a real goddamn problem when there are objectively better options who aren’t as famous.
So anyway, I think we need a constitutional amendment forbidding members of one’s immediate family from running for president after one has been president. No sons, daughters, husbands, wives, etc. Fuck dynasties. Fucking fundamentally un-American.
This is the way.

Conservatives heard Stephen Colbert say “Reality has a liberal bias” and concluded that the only solution was to declare war on reality.
