Also the evergreen headline:

The “I don’t have kids so why should I pay school taxes” people are my least favorite people.

I mean, as someone from a state who’s tea party senator just got re-elected... there are some people you aren’t going to be able to reach. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make their job a merry hell for the trouble.

It’s like that Australian joke about how the paramedics had to stop asking who the prime minister was because they kept changing too quickly, but instead it’s just the entire federal government being insane.

Aside from the prices, Ikea has this reputation as an Experience. You don’t just go to get furniture at Ikea, you quest through a Labyrinth-like maze to find your one specific bookshelf, fight the goblin king for the right to take it home, and then put it together under a haze of gin and Swedish meatballs.

Ha! 

I’m always kind of amazed that people keep track of penis size in the first place. Like, outside of two naked people standing next to each other, how do you even make that comparison?

Google has (used to have?) a thing where you could look up what demographic they’d pinned you in based on your searches. I got a 60-year-old man or something like that.

Spotify regularly gives me ads for the maternity ward at one of the local hospitals, despite me purposefully not connecting my social media to them.

Straight back to Birth of a Nation.

The worst is that he rode the Trump wave into re-election, so you know he does fuck all when people call to oppose whatever nightmare the GOP is trying to cook up.

This funbag has no Takes I can properly rage against, I demand a redo.

The number of evangelical protestants who respond to “I’m Catholic” with “Oh, so you’re not Christian” astounds me to this day.

The best sledding hill in my neighborhood was basically the backyard for a convent, and bless their souls those nuns never once complained about the hordes of screaming children who descend on them every snowfall. They said they liked to hear the kids. And hell, sometimes they joined in.

Only the suuuuuper conservative ones who are still bitter about Vatican II. You should have seen the crowds when he came here.

I miss Arlen Specter.

Tbh I think they did the Ares thing to show that there weren’t any real good or bad sides in WWI. Both the Allies and the Germans were corrupted (as evidenced by the Twist), which I guess was their way of saying it was a war fought for the sake of war.

Tbh my first exposure to Dunkirk was that Foyle’s War episode. #americancurriculum

I was so glad Wonder Woman showed WWI, because here in the US we get nothing. I’ve seen like... one children’s book that refers to Veteran’s Day as a WWI thing. That’s it. Whereas in the UK it seems like it’s poppies galore come November.

I’ve seen people cite those fake documentaries as if they were real, and that alone has earned them my eternal ire. Them and the fucking History Channel.
