"But you can't inject politics into-" when I was a kid in the 80s I was taught that Christopher Columbus was a hero, that the pilgrims helped the Native Americans, and that communism was ontologically evil. In Elementary School. My reaction to this bill is "about freakin' time."

Boosting the KS for a very interesting cyberpunk rpg with some very strong con and heist mechanics snuck in there among the retro future chewiness. I’m stealing a chunk of this.

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

And we have an original Christmas song as well, "Drinking Alone on Christmas," which I am determined to make into a new holiday standard one day. crystalfurs.bandcamp.com/track/drinki...

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take

I blame the use of metric & optics: they wanted to be fancy too, so they wanted to copy the vibe. Also: dorks! (Full disclosure: I find metrics acceptable, but unless optics are about lenses, I fucking hate the term.)

Double-bagging: nice.

The single most important thing a man can do to be an ally is give his woman friends permission to give dudes at the bar his number so when they call he can angrily say that's not funny because she died 15 years ago that very night

Happy Friday! 👻

… it’s the same picture

I worked in restaurants for 10 years and knew a dozen charismatic dirtbag bartenders with severe personality issues and the state of Maine is acting like this guy is a unicorn

Wheeling out the garbage, walked within 5 feet of an unalarmed (not fleeing!) rabbit. I froze as the rabbit froze & we shared a moment of immobility in the dark & rain. ❤️ Rabbits.

oh, lol. #CriticalRole Heated Rivalry parody. Yay for shtick/stick handling skills

Perfect illustration of how the "podcasters are turning on Trump" narrative is bullshit. These guys still want the camps to churn out black smoke, they just don't want to see video of how the bodies get there.

Everyone needs to be talking about this.

did this happen after the primary on Tuesday??? lmao oh my god are other transphobe Dems just quitting because they got stomped so badly

As long as it's not from a Sirius Cybernetics tea machine!

Close your eyes to danger and it won't be a problem, like the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eh'lan Muuuuskkk. Thank you, Anne McCaffrey, for teaching me the value of gratuitous apostrophes for sci-fy-ing a name.

The only way to get a Firefly revival to work. M'arque Z'yrkerrbrgg, P'ietor Tphiel, etc.

Maybe if they space an oligarch a week, each one resembling one on Earth. Geoff By'zos. Zam Yltman, etc.

That still hurts.

Time for China to revive the Great Fleet!

“anger is real, and so is resolve” goes pretty damn hard

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

and of her "special bag"?

Is Mar a Lago face a requisite of the job?

Literally every modern political problem

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
