WTF Now Japan's Killing Stone Split
A famous volcanic rock loaded with mythology and superstition- the bad kinds- was found split in two. The bad news is that the crack is believed to have released a demon that will roam the earth for the next 1000 years. The good news is, rain may have seeped into the cracks over the years chilling the demon a tiny bit.
Can’t someone put it in another stone? We don’t need this shit right now.
九尾の狐の伝説が残る、殺生石にひとりでやってきました。
縄でぐるっと巻かれた真ん中の大きな岩がそれ…

Al Franken Calls Tucker Carlson a Piece of Shit
Franken has had enough with people like Tucker Carlson. On his podcast this week, talking with journalist Mcihael Weiss, they discussed the Fox talk show host. Weiss commented on how much Russian state tv loves to play Carlson’s show because of his support of Putin. Franken, pissed, said “I’m glad someone in our country is giving aid and comfort to the Russians. Thank God, because that’ll probably only results in the deaths, I don’t know, thousands of people. But you know what? Tucker makes a lot of money. Did you know that? And let me tell you why. Well, you can say to yourself, “Look, I’m very talented, I’m gonna work hard, I’m going to be a truth-teller, and work for the common good of everybody as I see it. Or you can say, I’m a worthless piece of shit, and the only way I can make money is this way.”
TLDR: Franken called Tucker a worthless piece of shit.
Yeah. Even Bonnie Franklin could have told us that.
