Kinkajous are very, very cute:

I can’t help but feel MJ would be honored by that casting choice.

I definitely want this to happen because I feel like Trump would resort to punching Ted Cruz in the face.

Wait, is there a real offer for a one on one Cruz/Trump show?! OMG. If I get this I won’t need anything for my birthday this year.

How the fuck does a “college student” afford all that shit? I think one of those monitors cost what I paid for a semester of room and board...

Presumably because there might still be sane people left alive in the republican wasteland who will find his refusal to participate in a debate based on his personal interactions with a moderator to be an ill omen towards becoming a president expected to deal with foreign leaders.

Yeah, this is basically every single Gawker top comment. A mass shooting happens, and a person just writes “This is terrible!” with no addition to the conversation or any actual fucking thought about the article, and gets 35000 stars.

Yeah, quite a few of these cliches, and yet there are a ton of fellow commentors who think these are fresh. :

“There was people’s tendency to waste time by responding to a national tragedy with “No Words.’”

Next up: I think ketchup tastes bad, so I don’t eat it: a 7000 word glimpse into the human soul.

I’m going to disagree, respectfully. It’s repetitive, doesn’t communicate much, and it’s irritating to look at. Perhaps I’m old?

If you say you want diversity and you’re not hiring (and retaining) diversity, you don’t really want diversity. If you want a diverse staff, you will take the steps necessary to get one, whether it’s training programs or recruiting in non-traditional outlets or scholarships or whatever.

someone asked how cabs worked. cabbies are not employed by the cab company, they lease the cab. in exchange for the lease they get the car, and insurance. they are also screened by the cab companies. Cabbies DO need tips, because they xan be even more fucked than waiters. But not as fuckedas Lyft and Uber drivers.

It’s an arbitrary line. The guy at the coffee shop doesn’t really provide a different service than the guy at McD’s or even the guy at Walmart and in my state, he doesn’t get paid any different either. Somehow it’s just become customary to tip just one out of the three.

I can’t speak for every cab company but I drive two nights a week to suppliment my income. Where I am, North of Boston, we do not get an hourly wage. We split the fare with the company 50/50 and we pay for gas.

From Uber’s own website:

my sister ubers on the side. the only money you get are from tips. they don’t pay you an hourly wage and you don’t get reimbursed for gas. she says that so many people don’t tip.

As an Alaskan who was there while she was governor. . . . she has definitely gotten crazier. She crazied it up for the 2008 election. . . .and, yes, now she is even more incoherent. It seemed like she was high on helium the whole time. It could be that she was actually high—or something—or that being a right-wing…

Right? I mean, I never agreed with her or thought she seemed particularly well informed, but this is so much worse than I remember.

I think it was a touch of the spotlight and the fact that it then left her that is making her incoherent. Plus I would imagine as her son got arrested the day before, she was probably drinking the night before. And I can vouch for hangovers being the worst for forming proper sentences.
