And?  Who cares?  It’s some dumb “art” piece.  If it’s not doing any harm, who cares?

I’m not particularly amused by or interested in these things, but I don’t think that they’re “dumb” gives anyone the right to tear them down.  There was at least some legitimate concerns about damage being done to the surrounding area that led to the first one being taken down, but just not liking them isn’t enough…

Know what? My experience is very similar.

“Right to tear them down”?  Fuck off with that fantastic attitude.

Small minded religious extremists triggered by art that doesn’t center them all of the time. Doesn’t matter what religion they profess, it’s all the same.

They’re a harmless, curious and quirky art installation that inspired armchair sleuths to have a bit of fun. It’s one of the only things in 2020 that isn’t complete shit.

As someone living in PR while this is going on, I’ll be the one to go “neener neener” just a bit because, conspiracy or not, news stations and people investigating the telescope have been using drones every day for the past month to both inspect and keep an eye on every inch of the area. So it’s probably more a case…

I mean, that’s like saying that the fire department was looking at the specific large fuel tanks that they were worried were about to explode when they happened to explode or the cops were looking at the suspicious guy in a trench coat because they noticed he didn’t appear to be wearing pants underneath at the exact…

Clearly the cause was *gross negligence on part of the US and PR, damages caused by two back-to-back natural disasters, and a general sentiment of “fuck puerto rico, we don’t need to invest money into the island,” that every sitting president in my lifetime has basically supported because colonialism makes the US…

It was slated for demolition and was built in the 60's. Any use it had has likely been filled by more cost effective options. The only reason they thought about keeping it around was as a tourist attraction. I hate how much the government would rather spend on military than its own people, but I'm not gonna pretend…

hmm what could have caused the catastrophic failure....hmmm...what could it possibly be? Certainly not the failure of government to properly fund research and facilities and instead spend out money on corporate welfare and military contracts, Nope!

“Best out of five!”

I know the real Helena is awesome, but when I first read that my mind went to Helena from Orphan Black, and now I want that very, very much. 

Oh for fuck’s sake, stop it. Every. single. story includes this progressive passive-aggressive nonsense in the comments. No one is saying you shouldn’t advocate for the policies you want to advocate for. We’re just saying be smart about it, so you don’t alienate voters you need to win over in order to be in a position…

It astonishes me how badly us lefties are at this type of stuff. As has been pointed out by folks far more clever than I, this is something that the righties are super good at; they find an easy to remember and repeat slogan and they FUCKING HAMMER IT until their base hears it in their dreams.

Obama is right.

Last year’s competition was Steph’s to lose, and she blew it in the final. It still infuriates me that at the end, bakers are only judged on a single challenge, rather than their performance over the course of the season. 

I just felt bad for her TBH. I’m not mad at her, I’m just sad the show kept her in when there was a snowball’s chance in hell she wasn’t gonna have a breakdown. 

I also adore Rosie, honestly. She's this cheery looking blonde cherub and then she deadpans a line about castrating bulls and Noel loses his shit.
