To be fair, that is a pretty good description of a nasty hangover.

Apropos.

There’s been a lot more than just two blind items about Louis CK.

Pittsburgh drivers terrify people who grew up in PITTSBURGH. Driving in Pittsburgh is like playing Crazy Taxi on acid, with all the weird one way streets, blind alleys, random rickety bridges, and cars full of yinzers.

Do you have any with deerstalkers? I’m more partial to anything an irate mustachio’d British garage rocker would wear.

Good call. Also a solid gold idol would really drive it home.

Really, it’s all about justice in haberdashery.

All I want is for them to bring back Dogmeat.

Well, except that eventually Aurelius realizes what a cock he’s been and rescinds his courtship and apologizes. (I think. I haven’t read The Franklin’s Tale in about 15 years.)

No, sure.

My larger point was, why complain about something being NSFW when you shouldn’t be on it at work in the first place? I wouldn’t look at Robert Mapplethorpe pictures or watch Nymphomaniac during a faculty meeting, but that doesn’t lessen the artistic value of either of those two things.

I personally think the cover’s pretty boring and instagram is a festering shithole with terrible UX, but still kind of puzzled by their reaction to this. Someone should start a feed just of images of classic, sexually explicit art just to mess with them and see how long it takes them to ban them. Something like some…

1. Why the hell are you on instagram at work, unless you work in social media?

Well, that took longer than I thought for someone to come in and insist that the cancer victim was just leading that poor, poor man on...

That looks so disturbingly like one of my former students. On all fronts.

Well, that’s not rapey at all!

This is bringing back flashbacks to all the times I accidentally threw away my retainer after lunch in middle school and had to go through the trash to get it. I guess life really IS a circle after all.

What are the odds that Mr. Sensitive wore a fedora?

Didn’t Honey Boo-Boo or whatever get canceled because of associations with a child molester? It seems weird that this isn’t getting the same treatment.

That sort of cognitive dissonance is hard to overcome, and one I’ve only had middling success with regarding students in my field. I suspect that your student’s thought process was probably similar to my Russian pupil’s— watching something that runs so against-the-grain to the dominant cultural narrative is really…

It’s also clear that the mother didn’t quite get it either.
