Here you go:

Okay, I looked it up more and apparently it used to be a thing to find a route from a place to a place and then give it a name (there was one called Lincoln Highway), thereby “making” a highway in a way that didn’t actually involve building anything.

And the San Diego plaque (which I didn’t know existed until today) was just utterly bizarre.

I will die on this stupid hill because it is less stupid than calling the “organic chemistry” definition of organic the “real” definition. It’s literally a vitalist name that no one bothered to change.

Not before it meant, you know, of or relating to organs.

Everytime someone gets on the “soy is horrible for you!” or “white rice is horrible for you!” train I just want to shake them for somehow managing to forget that Asia exits.

Aw, man.

Heck, my school had ditto machines all the way into the mid-90s and we were one of the better-funded districts.

I think you’re supposed to supply your own safety pin.

Kinja’s been doing a thing where it takes a while for edits to show, but they eventually do.

Omg…it was in the article about the Confederate show, an argument about if alt-history counts as science fiction. I…made an Excel chart…please don’t judge too harshly.

There’s at least one case of someone getting freaked out by people hitting their car and running over them. The verdict was “guilty of felony reckless driving resulting in great bodily injury.”

Damn, didn’t even see them. Thanks for pointing that out.

I don’t know why news is even making gestures at this being possibly an accident, it’s not like people don’t mistake the gas for brake sometimes, but not for a whole street and they don’t accidentally go into reverse and accidentally do it again.

Holy fuck.

Another First Lady story:

Oh good, I was worried I maybe re-greyed myself by arguing too lengthily about the definition of science fiction. I don’t take that back, though. Look at that Sad Puppies thing.

The guy seriously couldn’t even bother finding a European wall lizard or something? Herpetological laziness is what that is.
