May I humbly recommend “Make America Kittens Again,” a Chrome extension which changes all images of his horrid visage to adorable kittens.

I’m not usually a big browser-extension fan, but this has absolutely made it easier to stay informed without being constantly nauseous.

We’re not all so fortunate, son.

Whenever you get mad at scott adams, it’s helpful to remember that he once posed as a fan on his own blog to support himself, and tried to play it off as some psychological experiment when he was inevitably discovered.

Pretty strong list, but how are houseflies worse than horseflies? Horseflies are all of the annoyance of a regular fly, but with a more painful bite.

Hey now, they sell beer in grocery stores these days.

Venmo is a relatively popular app that allows you to directly transfer money from your checking/savings account to a friend’s.
