I work in higher ed and used to be at a university that was often listed on the Campus Pride Index and had a reputation for being very supportive of LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff. While it hadn’t been implemented institution-wide, many departments had people include their preferred pronouns during introductions…

I’ve never heard a good public policy reason why requiring a college degree to be a cop wouldn’t be a good idea.

Vance is a crooked motherfucker. We probably wouldn’t have the current moron in the White House if Vance hadn’t taken a bribe from the Trump Organization to drop felony fraud charges against Ivanka and Junior.

As the Code 45* team astutely observed earlier today - “Holy shit, man, it’s all really coming apart for this fucking idiot, isn’t it?” There is a constant supply of evidence that anyone who works, or has ever worked, in the WH is either a complete numpty or has fled the building. The entire world (including his Chief…

Turns out “yourfired!!!” was not the best choice for a password.

UK Update:

“Cruz’s childhood nickname was Felito until he started going by Ted at age 13.”

It’s not too late yet, just saying. (Not my rendering).

Please letter be this!

Yeah, she’s filthy rich. She’s a dry, unenlightened Calvinist. She’s from Holland MI old Dutch wealthy trash. Her brother owns fucking Blackwater. About as evil as it gets. I’m slightly surprised “rich” and “Christian” don’t automatically disqualify these people from society, but then I remember Satan runs this…

They may take our lives. But they will never take.... OUR PORN!

There’s a fine line between what is sexy and what’s obscene. Who gets to decide, Frank Ciccone and Hanna Gallo?

Today’s Code 45* contemplates the almost complete lack of legislative action under the current administration. Well, it turns out there’s a pretty obvious explanation.

It’s almost quaint, isn’t it? The ordinary stupid of Democrats working for banking deregulation. We’re so busy with our slide into actual fascism that we lose track of good old-fashioned things like our party completely losing the fucking plot. Ah, nostalgia.

And back from my own private Shining of being snowed in and without internet for a week here’s the UK Update:

Bring more people out of the greys. It’s an internet comment section, not a super-secret club treehouse club.

Kill the whole “in the greys” system. My experience is that if you don’t post within the first hour or two of a popular article going live, no one will see your comment and there’s no hope of getting out. By and large I can only get on Jalopnik in the evenings which means I miss that “golden hour.” For the most part…

Give us back the ability to comment on specific pictures. Please. It’s the one thing I miss. When there are articles - like photo essays - with myriad pictures, it was great to be able to comment under the picture you were talking about.

I can save you some time. Bring back the ability to quote chunks of text and photos. Also, fix how posting pictures in comments works. It’s broken and it loads up like duplicates and shit.
