  1. Can confirm that officially becoming a lord or lady costs somewhere in the ballpark of $320k* comprising four years of tuition, room and board to Kenyon College of Gambier, OH. Sincerely, class of 2009. *It's $80k a year now?! Jfc, I know inflation in college tuitions is a thing, but that's just ludicrous.

  2. I'm struggling to get past the fact that the cat burglar's name was Katco

  3. I get you're trying to score easy internet points, but dang, buddy. Certainly there are more deserving targets for mockery, like hospice nurses or elementary school teachers.

  4. Spider-Man makes a living taking pictures of Spider-Man, doesn't he?

  5.  @katrinabryce  YES! Amazon has had this problem for years, and my solution has been to Google "site:amazon product," but with Google pulling this 💩 now too, I guess I'm turning to DDG?

  6. The list of law firms that Trump has stiffed goes a long way towards explaining why he's stuck scraping metaphorical gum off surface of literal parking garages.

  7. Appreciate the use of Stable Diffusion (or Midjourney or DALL-E). It was the two-faced watch at 0:47 that clued me in, but those hands are also way too big. Oh, and they also have too many fingers.

  8. SCOTUS allowing Youngkin to strike 1600 names from the voter rolls a week before Election Day was infuriating. At least we have same-day registration. And on that note, when I went to vote today, there was a pretty long line—when I checked in, though, my registration was confirmed, and I was directed straight to the ballot booths. So I'm pretty sure that line was for people registering (or reregistering).

  9. 12:00 If Trump or one of his co-conspirators reached out to The Eagle Team to defend them, I'd like to think that Devin & co's commitment to the principle that all defendants deserve zealous advocacy would win out and that they would respond with: Works on contingency? No, money down!

  10. 4:06 I'm sorry, no. The Oxford comma is antiquated, redundant and does nothing to clarify one's writing.

  11. Paramount's mistake with the bar robots was to base them on Norm and Cliff instead of Morn and Hamm.

  12. The irony of that Ben Stein clip circulating when he was a virulent right-winger and is quoted as saying, as recently as 2022, that "Nixon and Trump did nothing wrong."

  13. Don't think the irony of using a clip of Ben "Nixon and Trump did nothing wrong" Stein at 1:34 was lost on me.

  14. This whole time I thought the Streisand Effect was a reference to when the actress heavily criticized (and looked into taking legal action against) a little-known crudely animated show on Comedy Central causing South Park to enter the cultural zeitgeist and skyrocket in popularity

  15. Just to be a wet blanket: we really don't want a society in which we have "Debtors' Prisons." Because realistically Giuliani would never serve a day, and instead the prisons would be overrun with people of color issued selectively prosecuted speeding tickets.

  16.  @Nadia1989  Looked it up to make sure, but the new CEO did "commit to publish the findings." Doesn't mean they won't go back on that or that they might not release a report that's summarized or redacted beyond the point of uselessness, but at least we can't be gaslit into believing that the findings were never supposed to see the light of day.

  17. Listen--my college had its own neutron source that they'd pull out of storage for a few labs a year. Giant vat of literal plutonium. Before pulling it out, my physics professor would warn us all that we were about to work with some extremely dangerous material--the LEAD BRICKS we were using for shielding. I can pretty much guarantee that those uranium kits exposed kids to less ionizing radiation than a cross-country flight, and I am seriously envious of any kid who got to experience a cloud chamber before they experienced puberty.

  18. Horrible take! As a lawyer at Quinn Emanuel's Liechtenstein office and having practiced for all of 7 seconds, it's clear that you just don't understand any part of the law. 😜

  19. 1:21 -- She formerly represented a parking garage company? Well, good on her for moving on to a client with slightly better morals. 1:30 and getting Trump a "Ladies' Man" honorific reminds me of the line from Futurama questioning Henry Kissinger's negotiating skills. Bender: "Is he any good?" Nixon: "Looking like that, he talked his way into Jill St. John's bed, 'nuff said"

  20. I'd argue shouting "You can't shout fire in a crowded theater" is non-protected speech under Brandenburg as it is directed to and likely to cause Ken "@Popehat" White to fly into an unlawfully murderous rage.

  21. So here's the thing--and let's talk about just the SRD. Copyleft licenses go both ways. If any part of the SRD text contains content written not by WoTC/Hasbro but adopted from a community contributor (as Dancey intended), then isn't it the case that Hasbro literally cannot re-license the SRD without the contributor's consent? I am not a lawyer, but this has been the explanation I've read about why, for instance, the Linux kernel is still on an older edition of the GPL--regardless of Linus' feelings on GPLv3, the Linux Foundation could not alter the license of the kernel without the consent of every single contributor (or removing the contributions from the hold-outs).

  22.  @something-from-elsewhere  Subsequent studies have found that, on the whole, any "effect" is illusory, with confidence in one's abilities are, in fact, strongly correlated with ones actual performance. Yes, there are obviously individuals in both the "imposter syndrome" and "confident knownothing" quadrants, but they are the exception, not the rule.

  23. From now on, I'm going to refer to getting legal knowledge hammered into my brain from your channel as "Getting Stoned."

  24. Gotta feel for Giuliani's lawyer, who couldn't get his client to shut the Heck up and who will likely not see a dime in compensation. (this is tongue-in-cheek, especially since if I were representing Rudy or anyone else in MAGAspace, I'd insist on up front payment)

  25. That black and white mouse associated with Disney? Nah. I associate it with the profanity-spewing recurring character in John Oliver's Last Week Tonight. That trademark application will never be approved.

  26.  @HelloHuman1  On the whole, I thought the CGI in The 100 was great. It's just the superhero shows where they phone it in.
