Your Bag of Nothing for Wednesday, May 21, 2025

  • The frequency, length, and quality of future posts may decrease for the foreseeable future until I can maintain employment. I’m sure you understand.
  • The world seemed like a better place when “planking” became a thing.
  • This was the result of someone recently asking ChatGPT to create an image that labels the internal parts of the human body.


    Don’t you hate when you stub your penis against the end table?
  • World’s first gene-edited spider produces red fluorescent silk
  • Scientists have identified molecules from blood and urine that may reveal how much energy a person consumes from ultraprocessed foods.

  • BoyGeeding walked into my room and asked if I would help him study for his Latin final the next day, flash card style. It’s one of his favorite subjects. The next night, he shared with me that he was actually excited to take the final and walked into the classroom with a smile. Gotta love that kind of confidence. Especially when it’s your own kid. He and his sister will welcome a new stepdad this weekend.
  • Speaking of Latin and flash cards. Is it too much to ask that the Homeland Security Secretary can easily answer “What is Habeas Corpus?” It’s just the foundational principle of the Constitution. And yes, it’s literally enshrined in the first article of the Constitution.



    I have no problem if she can’t directly translate it from Latin to English; all I’m asking is to use the two words my seventh-grade government teacher told me to write on the back of my Habeas Corpus flash card: unlawful detention. I don’t care if we differ in political views; I just want all the Cabinet members to display competence and knowledge of the department they are sworn to uphold. But then again, their boss isn’t capable of such things, so perhaps my expectations are too high. And yet there are people who can’t understand why others fear that democracy is at stake, the people in power literally can’t explain the foundational principle of the Constitution. But then again, the President literally said he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution.
  • 2 dead, including shooter in Las Vegas gym shooting; police report multiple victims

    Here’s some remarkable footage of the law enforcement member taking down the shooter, some of it from his bodycam. He was so close that I thought it would have made for a more difficult shot at first.

  • Sometimes I’m really amazed at the technology we have at our disposal, and it’s free. I can now actually have an authentic conversation with my family in Vietnam. Amazing.
