Weirdly enough the fact that he’s smart but stupid is the one thing I identify with regarding Carson. I’m very smart in my fields and my ability to assimilate information is pretty darn good...but that still does NOT mean I’m qualified for other shit, and unlike Carson I would never expect someone under me to make up…

True, but the empty issue is seen as a problem by the museum, probably.

Most likely. Few exhibits go all digital because then there’s no reason to have the exhibit in the museum as opposed to something you just access online. Plus if you ask me they’re probably going to have some “touch the rocks!” stuff too. A lot of people like that kind of thing.

As someone in the museum field: museums are being told again and again that they need more tech in exhibits to make them more engaging. They need more interactive elements. A lot of visitor surveys show that just coming in to look at objects and labels is seen as the bare minimum a museum can do and is seen as boring…

Now, now, batshittery those other three may have, FL always has to win the crazy crown. We’re like that. It’s Why Florida Man exists and we re-elected Rick Scott.

Honestly that makes a ton of sense to me. I think teacher’s unions should maybe try to expand to include other groups that work with children, like daycare workers (hey, some parents can’t tell the difference anyway).

Yep. I played some when I was a kid and groups of us would go to the local carnival. I had a pretty good win rate but then I stuck to ones that didn’t seem too hard. I avoided anything with a giant stuffed animal on instinct. Though my best win, a fuzzy Pikachu backpack, was from a random chance game.

...Pretty sure that’s not a natural blonde either, given I can see her roots.

1: I’m Jewish, honey.

Yep. As someone from a very, very Bible Belt part of FL it had me giving him a very serious groan.

Yeah. I thought they were all “fuck identity politics, that’s what the weak ass centrists want! REAL progressives don’t care about it!” And now suddenly it’s the neolibs who want to drop identity politics while true progressives really care? Bull. Shit. Could they just admit they fucked up on that one and we try to…

Democratic losses. The DNC is not the party.

One of the many name for my birthday: Discount Giant Bags of Reese’s Day.

At this point I DO blame the more liberal parts of the media. A lot of them, like Splinter, have reconized that their audience doesn’t WANT concrete ways to change things or information on how the system works, they want to be told “the DNC is still fucking up, so since that’s going on with the shadowy cabal that runs…

Also head on over to Splinter and all the people practically gleeful about how they’re not gonna vote unless they feel it’s someone perfect. Some folks think not doing jack shit when you can actually do said shit and affect things is somehow an epic protest move.

Plus the DNC is for the presidential run. The DSCC and DCCC are for congress. It’s just that sadly no one ever wants to yell at the right agency these days and the DNC is a convenient boogeyman.

Tell me about it. At least in the last two years Michael’s has upgraded from a single endcap to a nice, large drive aisle. On the other hand, they still run out of candles in like a week.

Plus this is actually better for consumers. I remember working at Michael’s and a woman was pissed off that we no longer had a seasonal item she wanted and was even angrier when I pointed out that the aisle had been set in early October (she was shopping in the second week of December). While she did not need to be…

I loved how the finale went. All of Rick’s work is undone because he can’t manage to give an inch when it’s sensible or be empathetic when it’s needed. He brought down Jerry with Jerry’s flaws, now he brings down himself.
