Same. My pal and host there made sure we knew ‘there is always time for a spritz.’

I realized recently that school shootings have finally started to register with me as “Oh, okay.” And this is even after formative years in the thick of Columbine fallout and having spent part of childhood in Newtown.

They really really really did not. This has been front and center since Kavanaugh.

Missing from the Splinter story is the step where contacting his employer was NOT the first step. She told him to own it by suspending his Twitter AND contacting his wife, and he refused to do both. If you’re looking for a middle ground consequence, there it is, and he wouldn’t agree to it.

I mean that sums up the job I quit last year, so...

correction: a cardboard cutout with long hair that says “amazingly excellent and positive in everything!”

anyone else snrk at “working on healthcare thoughts” ? Is that the legislative equivalent of thoughts and prayers?

Poop. It smells like poop. Why did you have to bring that up.

Personally I’m torn between the delectable schadenfreude I can anticipate in that moment, and hoping to have been long dead by that point.

This is the best solution I have ever heard.

I LOVE this one. I have literally used it in lectures!

Amusingly, the comment appearing directly below yours just now references the X-Files. In which they put LSD in Mulder’s water at one point.

ahahahahahahahaha okay so I’m not a geographer, I’m a biologist, but I know EXACTLY this feeling when someone gets on my lawn and I’m like HEY WAIT YOU DID THAT WRONG.

TRUTH.

I wonder if there are long-term consequences to mental health after this much cognitive dissonance. I swear I read some point about people losing their sanity in the USSR during the pre-war purges, when people had to continually reconcile the government being 100% benevolent and amazing and it simultaneously deporting…

apology shmapology, I just... this is my field and I’m a pedant lol

Minor correction: poison. (No dedicated toxin delivery system, toxin must be ingested/absorbed.)

They smell terrible - very urine-like - and that would probably also produce a very poisonous compost.

Can attest to this, participated in the early aughts in Aus. Loads of wildlife-minded people rounding up toads nightly and parking them in the freezer in a shopping bag. Bit of a trip to see your hippie vegan conservationist friends go absolutely ham on killing toads.
