My brother used to work at a precursor to Gamestop. He took in an NES on trade, shrinkwrapped the controllers and cables to it and put it in the stockroom. The next day he finds thousands of baby cockroaches had crawled out of the system and were trying to eat their way through the shrinkwrap.

All that “but if we had healthcare like Canada we’d have to WAIT” propaganda has gone over really well.

A prank isn’t funny unless the person you played it on is laughing too.

I got this off reddit from someone who follows this trainwreck:

I think they went too far in the opposite direction from plus-size clothes being frumpy and matronly to...whatever the hell glitter zebra print is supposed to represent.

no, it is not possible for a fetus to live at 20 weeks. The youngest fetus to survive was 21 weeks and 4 days, and it is definitely a stretch to call that “viable” since she was an extraordinary case. Major organs aren’t fully developed, they are unable to regulate their body temperature, cannot eat, will more likely…

Nah, Jacksonville FL.  I was wearing a crushed velvet shirt and cords!  

I saw a picture of PJ in a pink catsuit in the pages of Spin magazine. I had no idea who she was, she just looked really cool and badass. So I bought To Bring You My Love and that was it for me, I fell in love. Never heard anything like it before.  Kind of makes me wish I could go back and listen to it for the first…

The Pumpkins were my first concert, in the antique year of 1997.  I still have my shirt with a devil smiley face and the words “the world is a vampire” underneath.  I might have to dig it out this weekend.

Think about the term “guilty pleasure” and what’s often cited:  things women are “supposed” to like such as romantic comedies, pop music, chick lit.  Have you ever heard of anything masculine-coded as someone’s guilty pleasure?

India is working on its lack of indoor plumbing and they’ve been making great strides. But they were declared polio-free in 2014 - when less than half of the population had access to an indoor toilet.

What I always love is when the anti-vax crowd goes “ReAd tHe VaCcInE iNsErT”...

No glasses!  No hearing aids!  God made you perfect! 

It’s adorable and I want one! 

Nah, they’ll just denigrate them as sluts who got what they deserved.

Because it is the most reliable wedge issue there is. Gay marriage is over and done with, and though trans people are the new targets there’s honestly too few of them to send Jim and Bobbi Sue running to the polls.

I already can’t believe that people give a shit what type of makeup Aunt Becky’s teenage daughter wears, but one she ages out of the slightly older sister demo, who is going to listen to her?

Falling under the Trump Rule: There’s always a tweet.

He was the young adult designer at Target for yearsssss but they got rid of his line a while back.

Let’s not forget about the young black man who worked his tail off and got 20 college acceptances - including 4 Ivies, and then a Fox affiliate whined that he was “obnoxious” and“taking spots away” from deserving* applicants. As if when he turned them down they wouldn’t offer that spot to the next person on the list
