It’s like when they have CGI characters in movies and they talk about the “uncanny valley” with the eyes. Somehow she managed to do that with a smile

East Bay is the best! That’s were I live (formerly Oakland, now El Cerrito), but work in SF. I spent 8 years dating in the SF bay area, and it’s mostly not so great. I feel the economic disparity issues, I was pretty broke when I was single, like I could pay my bills, but barely had anything left. So going on a date…

I spent six of my “prime” dating years dating in and around the East Bay. I lived in various cities in the East Bay but went on dates with/dated people from the North Bay to the South Bay and everywhere in between.

#1 did admit to wearing blackface, just on a different occasion, for a Michael Jackson impersonation. He may or may not still be able to moonwalk.

#3 is probably the best Virginia can hope for at present.

After reading WaPo’s write-up of Dr. Tyson’s account of what happened (which was apparently leaked to a right wing blog by a Facebook friend and not by her), along with her statement, it is difficult not to believe her completely. Many of us know men like this, or have had similar encounters with men like this, and…

They’re jettisoning assets and rearranging the books in advance of the lawsuit they know is coming so they won’t have to pay out. That’s what’s happening here.

I always take mine but for an entirely different reason: if I crumble down in public, get taken to a hospital and diagnosed with food poisoning, the police will know which motherf*ckers to go after.

Goddamn, girl.

By the time I was 16, I’d endured years of: misogynistic tirades from my father who called me a prostitute when I was in second grade (learned a new word that day!); ongoing paranoia from both my parents that I’d have sex despite not knowing what sex was at the time (lower elementary school); bullying at school from…

The first thing was when my feed fully migrated from photos of girls I went to school with in their bikinis on vacation to those same girls posting nothing but photos of their kids.

My wife’s a middle school teacher. I started her club by taking a group of 6 troubled kids she had been assigned, meeting with them after class and playing D&D right after school once a week for the last few weeks of school (2 hours each). Spent the first 20 minutes helping them roll up an OD&D character, and got…

There’s a new Randy Rainbow video:

I think you have a different definition of “forced to the ground” than everyone else.  If there’s a gun being pointed at me and someone tells me to get on the ground, then I’ve been forced to the ground.

Right. And he absolutely didn’t work with Don Segretti ‘ratfucking’ Democrats.

I just read his full post, and will break with my usual thoughtful caution and go with the hot take. Fuck this fucking guy.

Did you read and digest the article in any way, shape or form? The parent makes a legitimate purchase on FB however FB does not inform them that they are saving the Parent’s CC info. Later their kid is playing games and says sure, I would like to spend a shit ton of cyber money to get neat perks in the game not…

I'm super late to this conversation(linked in through a newer Egypt story), but I can answer your question. Most of these old pictures predate film and were actually shot on glass plate; first in the form of wet-plate collodion and later in dry plate. Unlike film, glass plate negatives don't have any grain, which…

I read Howard Carter's book as a child and was hooked for a lifetime. Went on to study Akkadian and ancient history, and, while professionally I have been a programmer, I still am an archaeologist at heart. His account of opening the tomb, peeking in and saying "Wondrous things!" really can't be beat.
