On the other hand, “weird old dude obsessed with medieval castles” is how my alma mater ended up with a castle as a dorm for a long time.

I said this when the story first broke, but there’s a very simple way for the offspring Mossimos to salvage their reputations: go to a community college.

Oh for sure. I actually think it’s even sadder.

Yea this reads far more like Project Veritas went after a poor, mentally ill person...which is even worse, since it sounds like the person in question legitimately saw it as two separate identities voting. 

Agreed. I was outed to my grandma because I was the head of the LGBT group at my college, and unbeknownst to me, my grandma had a neighbor who also had a grandchild at my school, and this neighbor was the type to get the campus newspaper delivered from 5 states away.

I read this as CANING tomatoes, and I thought it was a seriously sadistic technique to get crushed tomatoes. 

No, Bowcraft is/was the amusement park for little kids that’s basically carnival rides but permanent, right on the side of 22 sandwiched between auto dealers and strip malls.

Yup. I remember riding the congo river ride or some other ride that really shouldn’t have been terribly rough, and coming out of it with an enormous bruise on my shoulder...and we all promptly got back in line to ride it again.

Oh god I made the mistake of reading his anti-climate change book once. It was...interesting. 

I am pretty sure my younger brother will never completely forgive me for the time I convinced him that if an ice cream float with Coke tasted good, it would taste equally good to just mix milk directly into a glass of Coke.

Agreed! I blew through the first three eps and couldn’t stop laughing. Definitely a pleasant surprise. 

It took me far too long to realize RWNJ meant Right-Wing Nut Jobs and not Real Wives of NJ...I had this vision of Teresa Guidice organizing a vaccine drive. 

Nope, Hallmark’s idea of diversity is everyone being confused that the Jewish family doesn’t have Christmas traditions. 

Same with me-I would love to go to my climbing gym but I have a kid and extended family who are helping me with childcare this summer. It’s far too much of a risk.

It matters more for the gyms I think. They can ask people to switch to liquid chalk and argue it’s more hygienic than regular chalk, and possibly make people feel slightly safer in the gym because “everyone is using this hygienic liquid chalk” type argument.

Agreed! It’s very likely that what got communicated to the celebs was “Hey, the NAACP is working on a campaign, can you read this” and that was that. And no one wants to be the celeb who said “yea nope”.

Oh god the cold water at Action Park....yea. It was freezing. And no matter what ride you did, you had some weird bruise afterwards.

What confuses the hell out of me is that “satanic occult nazis” is the plot of the first Laundry Files book by Charlie Stross. I saw the tweets this morning and thought “why the hell is everyone tweeting about that random fantasy book I read last year?”

Anyone who votes dishwasher over washing machine does not have children. 

Yup! My son did one of these for mother’s day in kindergarten, and he aged me up a year, listed my favorite hobby as hanging out with him, and that my favorite thing to drink was plain water. They’re like little stream of consciousness machines at that age.
