This place sailed past the point of no return YEARS ago, dude. Let it go. They surely do not give a shit. The fifth-gen O’Neal Xeroxes writing here don’t, and the international conglomerate click farm that now owns the place definitely doesn’t either.

as a lover of good writing and culture, one rule i try to always follow is

no it isn’t. re-establish a frame for newsworthiness that isn’t the same as tabloid journalism.

I remember seeing that in Popular Science or some such magazine back in the day, and thinking it was cool and great idea. Now, after being a truck driver off-and-on for 30 years, I can see how terrible an idea it really is. In just about every way.

Reminds me of the days when I was heavily into recreational hallucinogenics. My best friend was a beetle and I slept in an orbital banana.

Personally, I think we should probably put a moratorium on constructing any statues of white people for at least a couple hundred years, just to be safe.

Ran into this video recently. A dance teacher teaches her students the Thriller dance and it’s fantastic.

Pah, that thing barely works anyway. Mine inhabits a separate dimension, I have to conjure the old god’s to get something to cast to it.

Seriously, now he decides to drop it?!

ToxicMicrobe was a bit extreme with that analogy but I think his point is that a fair number of gamers are causally racist. Obviously not all of us, but, if you’ve ever played a CoD match starting with Cod 4 until now you’ll hear it. I’m guessing it has to to with a number of things, like anonymity with easy voice…

“2013 edgelord memes it never should have left” sorry man, but this shit being unacceptable was front and center in 2013. 2003? Maybe. 2013? No fucking excuse.

As funny as this meme is, most of the time presenters are dusted with powder makeup to remove natural skin oil shine. If they recorded at home, which is likely, they probably didn’t have the necessary makeup artist on-site to prep them for the recording, so they end up looking shiny.  We all look shiny, we just have…

Against this social backdrop, the absurdity of the 45-year-old mother of all summer blockbusters, Jaws, has never been clearer. It is the story of a cop, with no background in marine biology and, in fact, hatred of water, taking it upon himself to hunt a great white shark, a vulnerable apex predator whose survival is…

Yeah, but at the same time Spider-Man’s appeal as a character is presenting a more realistically apathetic/hostile environment and persevering despite how rough life gets. Superman having cops like this would be one thing, but Spidey having cops like this flies in the face of the not-so-idealistic worldview presented…

NBC News obtained Scott’s autopsy, which labeled a collapsed lung as the cause of his death. The autopsy said that the police response didn’t result in “fatal trauma” and instead listed physical restraint, methamphetamine use, asthma, emphysema and heart disease as the leading factors in Scott’s death. The…

He had a collapsed lung but they couldn’t determine a cause of death?  That coroner needs to be fired, because they’re either too corrupt or too stupid to do their job.

What city have you visited in the last 100 year that did not have construction going on?

Seriously, real men just buy a couple hundred feet of Cat5 and a staple gun, AMIRITE?

I just came from the future and I was wondering the same thing. I can't believe we used to rely on WiFi back then. Also can't believe people used to use keyboards. Writing with the mind is so much easier.
