I hate this, and I’m the last person to moan and cry about selfies. No.

Ooohhh, I’m so jealous your B3 has makeup. Mine just has funky kitchenware and linens. Maybe I should drive to the further one instead.

That machine is most correctly known as a TEL, or transporter erector launcher, and the term isn’t exclusive to nuclear weapons. Something loaded on a TEL is also generally known as road-mobile. The US doesn’t actually retain ICBM TELs as part of the arsenal (and really doesn’t need them)... but Russia thinks they’re…

I know, holy crap. Cool prosthetic work and all I guess, but the whole look is absolutely terrifying to me, it’s buried deep in Uncanny Valley.

I saw someone wearing an Umbreon kigurumi last night. I was dressed up as a cowboy character from a video game, and while I looked hella good (I won the best costume contest), I was jealous because I was all wrapped up in leather and belts (and shapewear...) and he was basically in cosy jammies.

Did this on April Fool’s Day, but forgot about it and took a handful the next day... no! No! No!

You definitely need to tell us more about this.

... what spelling errors?

My biological mother is Mexican-American. One day, she was hanging out with her olive-skinned, dark-haired friend from Spain at said Spanish woman’s upscale apartment building, when a third woman stops them in the elevator while they’re chatting in Spanish, and asks them if they have time for another apartment. What?…

All of this, plus I have an excuse to get dressed up as a favorite character on the one night it’s socially acceptable to do so. I make no apologies!

Terribly under-appreciated character right here.

I hate this. Even though every time I have a pregnancy dream, it’s not even possible for me to be pregnant at that particular time. That doesn’t make it any better.

Yyyyep. I lived in Milwaukee when I was a kid. We quite often derisively refered to Whitefish Bay as Whiteface Bay. So, yes. When I saw this story, I just laughed (bitterly, not because it was funny, obviously), because of course. Of course it happened there.

It was drawn by the absolutely fantastic fantasy artist (and now comic writer and author) Ursula Vernon. Her website is here. She’s well aware of the meme and has released both soap and a print featuring related pears.

It’s for internal use. I’m guessing it was designed for a vagina. I agree with you, though.

It interbred with (and always overlapped with) the MRA/anti-feminist ‘movement’ and has more or less become an outcropping of it. That particular internet hate machine will never die, so it’s resulted in a sort of perpetual circlejerking motion machine.

the actual fuck

GAH, WHAT THE HELL! I forgot this thing existed.

I don’t remember that (in fact, I don’t remember Blaise being mentioned more than twice at all). I could be totally wrong, though, it’s been a pretty long time since I read any of the books, and if so... wow. Just wow, that makes the reaction even weirder and grosser. Anyway, point is, people threw massive hissy fits…

Blast from the (recent) past: This also happened in the Harry Potter fandom when a black teenager was cast as extremely minor character Blaise Zabini in the movies. Nasty people exist under the surface in every fandom, waiting for something to draw them out of the woodwork... it’s gross.
