First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her
My facade of appearing to know just enough, it has fallen.
“The term “know” or “knows” means to have actual knowledge or to have acted in willful disregard.”
You know, knowing something by not knowing it.
It feels like “willful disregard” is going to do a lot of work that should already be done by other consumer protection statues, no?
Chip Zdarsky’s got you covered.
[looking up from a bowl of bracelet stew] Solved problem, Adam.
Remember to go in with positivity. They want *you* in the running (enough to burn a second work day on it).
Make sure to ask what your role looks like once you’re there, and what your future team is like. Get a sense of how you’ll fit and what you will do to make the team better.
“First” implies there was anything else in the preview. It seems you got a different version than I did, maybe.
Big Trouble in Little China makes so much sense when you look at it as an entire movie about an action hero’s idiot sidekick.
I won’t rest until we’ve got “Bluesky Trends” trending.
Counterpoint: but what if you never go downtown and don’t care if the city looks like a pigsty? (This is called the “Holyday philosophy”.)
People want something very simple: to get cheap concert tickets and never experience new things. These £20 shows could be anything, man. How do you know the band isn’t going to suck? Or pull out crossbows and start firing randomly? Or be your brand new life-changing favorite? Wait scratch that one.
Please at least tell me the shows were free, because it sounds like having an optional tip jar in the room would be overcharging.
I regret to inform you this is genuinely an argument in some schools of theory.
…is a sign that you are using a far-right virtue signalinator.
I will *not* have my one remaining hobby ruined, sir.
Science fiction author: In my book I invented the cocaine potato as a cautionary tale
The cool kids, snorting potato flakes with a rolled up twenty: whatever dorkwad
No worries! This is the Silly Jackanapes Doing Their Little Posts website *and* the People Saying Incredibly Awful Things In Complete Sincerity website simultaneously, and there are times you can’t tell which one someone posted from.
To read this skeet in the form of a much better, much more witty, Nebula Award-winning short story, please refer to Isabel J. Kim’s “Why Don’t We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole”.
Wake up, you stupid chaperone, there’s an audience you’re ignoring.
You’re willing to throw the entire city of Omelas under the bus for some sort of Omelas child purity test, you monster. Unlike me, who cares more about the Omelas child than you. And also will never volunteer to take their place.
(No, I will not remove the Omelas child flag from my profile.)
…buffering…
If a person won’t try to find an inherent human right they think should be stripped from them, they don’t get to be surprised when other people don’t try either.
Since you’re now in Canada, find a Tiresomely Hardcore™️ socialist and ask them to spend an hour explaining how Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre are exactly the same.
UK politics right now are as if Carney thought becoming Poilievre was a good idea, great advice, and a guaranteed winner.
@icklenellierose.bsky.social In important statistical news: Luke is taller than an Australian.
I honestly don’t mean this as a subtweet or a burn: I hope James revisits this and talks about what we learned about the bigger political picture, because you can’t get much more decisive than a 27-point swing to victory.
Gorton and Denton better have a giant evil drug park where all drugs are legal (even the evil ones) and the park is full of evil drug-takers by next Tuesday at the latest. If they don’t, I’m going to have to sadly wonder if Labour commentators were engaging in some sort of fib.
The federal Greens have many principles! It just happens that none of them include allowing Not Elizabeth May to be the leader for more than eight seconds before the backstabbing starts.
Shututupshutupshutup we’re not supposed to talk about the Ontario NDP while the Americans are listening.
If the US Greens weren’t a scam, they would be running real candidates in *every single House district*, instead of claiming they totes did have a presidential primary and it was totes legit and Jill Stein totes is a real candidate totes for real and she’ll be president.
