How come every story about 45 starts with me laughing at his buffoonery.... but ends with me crying bc I am truly afraid we’re all fucked bc of him?

Listen, sometimes you just need a cookie. Or 20k worth.

Did I just fall in love with Nick Offerman?

I was going to say, the headline should read:

Girl Scout Troop Leader Indicted For Stealing Around $20,000 Worth of Cookies, Remains at Large

Jar Jar Binks wakes up in his bedroom, turns to Suzanne Pleshette and says, “You-sa wont be believin’ the crazy dream meesa just had!”

I’d help!

I hate it when people do awful things and then distance themselves by saying “That wasn’t me! That’s not who I am!”

When this happened I felt visceral vicarious shame as a fat person who goes to the gym. I couldn’t bring myself to go into the locker room for weeks. Fuck this woman and her sorry excuses.

I used to manage a portfolio of intellectual property that included a host of images - yes that is likely what happened. Used to happen to me all the time, and then when I called the offending person, they were often shocked to find out that if they had just licensed the image (which was even free in most cases) we…

You’re not striking a blow against a corporation, you’re just stealing.

The only thing that makes me think otherwise is that you generally need somebody versed in graphic design to put together the files that go to print for something like this. You can’t really send a screenshot ‘cause the printer (patch maker, whatever) needs the files set up a particular, technical way and they don’t…

I think a large part of this is young people (<30) working at these orgs who are just used to grabbing images off of the internet and using them in various ways that just genuinely didn’t think through the fact that when you’re engaging in this kind of commercial behavior, you need to actually follow the rules.

Fuck yeah it hurts the art. Having to remove years of smoke off of 500 year old varnish doesn’t happen easily or cheap. And it completely ruins works on paper. source: I’m an art historian.

tfw you finally hang with the “cool” kids and realize they’re exhausting, desperate and trying too hard.

They were at the Costume Institute. Clothing absolutely 100 percent needs to be kept away from smoke if it is to be preserved.

And I’m pretty sure that no matter how much of a badass she is, smoking celebs at the Met Gala is the bottom of Anna Wintour’s priorities. It’s in between giving a fuck and genuine compassion.

Classless of them, but i’m pretty sure these people will not be fazed by a $100 fine.

As much as I hate to side with the kind of stuffy rich person that would be on the board of the Met, fuck all these people.
