She’s a white lady gentrifying Harlem, you’d think the obvious answer is “Sonos”.

I am very excited for the archaeologist who finds this in Year 3016 and changes understanding of human history forever with their publication “Global Warming: Dragons at the Heart of Earth’s Demise”.

Yeah, they should know better than to put a totally different woman’s photo up there (even with a clarifying caption). The vast majority will think she’s the wrecker. In fact that photo has absolutely nothing to do with the story since it’s a different selfie pose, a different artist AND a different woman. WTF?

I think it’s stone, or at least premade concrete-ish stuff. I’m more worried about the counter painting, which seems ill-advised on a number of levels.

If it happens, I think it’ll be slow internal attrition due to the influence of external media and internet via unlocked mobile phones. Honestly that might be our best bet, instead of sending bombs send rockets that drop a shitload of prepaid Samsung smartphones.

Didn’t Stalin do the same thing with the Grapes of Wrath movie? Brought it to the USSR to show how “bad” capatilism is and people were like “wait, poor people have cars in America!?”

There’s a really good article on WP today about a Muslim doctor in rural Minnesota who’s reluctantly giving talks about Islam to the mainly Trump-voting, Christian population who largely get their ideas of Islam from FOX. It’s an excellent piece, but this part jumped out at me:

Interesting. It’s like you’ve been given access to the Misogynist Meme Database, but are too green to apply it with any understanding or subtlety.

What an odd image to use in an attempt to bolster your point. Note how the woman in this cartoon makes a statement, then spends 5 panels just looking at the guy like “what the fuck is wrong with you” as he throws his own histrionic attention-grabbing party because he doesn’t like what she said. In that sense, it’s a…

I have an excellent, non-animatronic fix to balance out the PC correction of the treatment of women.

There were women pirates.

Eh, fine. Disney World isn’t exactly a place for historical education. I actually remember the Wench Auction and being horrified as a kid, but the good kind of horrified where you realize that pirates were also serious jerks. Though I guess this does sort of call into question things like Plymoth Plantation and…

You suspect, but it’s curious enough to wonder why they’re getting him to run around and fix things. I liked it.

I thought it was a “why not” situation - sure, you’re going to eat them, but might as well see if they could fix the ship first.

Why is this fuckwit smiling?

This is going to pass, by the way. Unlike Democrat holdouts, Republican holdouts never actually are - they’re all going to fall in line and vote for this. It’s going to pass, 21 million people will lose their health insurance, Medicaid will be gutted, and a statistical handful of people will get even more rich than…

If I’ve learned anything from recent intersectional politics, it’s that you use a “z” if there’s any confusion.

If I suggested to a Brit that there was an inappropriate time to drink tea, I’m not sure I’d survive.

One friend is now a hedge fund manager and posts shit on social media about how he worked hard for his money and doesn’t deserve to be taxed at such a high rate and people need to take personal responsibility.

I draw a strong and vicious thrill from undercutting classmates and coworkers who get a little too mouthy about how success is earned solely through hard work (ie: “I earned where I am in life as the SVP of a multinational bank through my own merits”).
