I genuinely don’t have a bee in this fight, other than having wasted a solid hour following all the drama earlier today, but a lot of the complaints seem really weak. In the replies to the tweet quoted in this article, people have posted screen caps of the Texas bee lady 1) using power tools and 2) wearing protective…

Surprised you didn’t put the puns in the title.

Thinking of ditching my kindle in favor of a Kobo. Anyone have thoughts? 

Honestly the most depressing part of this to me is that he goes to church. Did he always go to church? I have no idea but I’m super sensitive to people finding religion when getting sober. It happened to me & I felt pretty hosed a year or so down the road when I came back to my senses. It’s easy to grasp at shit when…

We’re decidedly in Anglo-Saxon (and at this point, Anglo-Norman) territory with this particular poem. Although Arthurian legend at this time was a collage. But given the themes in the poem and where Middle English was at in the 14th century, it’s probably most indebted to French literature,…

Bullshit on the “can’t be rehomed” nonsense. There are rescues that specialize in training and rehoming “difficult” dogs. Dogs that were trained to fight to the death have been successfully deprogrammed and transformed into loving pets.

I’mma watch the hell out of this. Goofy as it was, the older ‘Sword of the Valiant’ was a fave of mine and got me into the whole Green Knight story. I’d recommend people not familiar to have a look at the summary of such by Overly Sarcastic Productions here:

Agreed. I’m a high skill worker in a demanding field, and I’m seeing even very profitable companies trying to hire new people at 70% of the going rate. I also have the benefit that my wife is in a very similar area, and we're able to compare offers we see. The low paying ones have been shocked when we don't respond to…

Unemployment typically does not cover 100% of your lost wages. Even with the $300 supplement, the Chamber of Commerce’s own analysis shows that 75% of people collecting unemployment are getting less than they got from working. It’s highly unlikely that there are a significant number of people turning down jobs because…

I heard one restauranteur that moaned about applicants who never showed up for interviews, or were offered the job but ghosted, and blamed it on people fulfilling unemployment benefit requirements to search for jobs. Instead of taking that insight as an acknowledgment that unemployment benefit requirements are very…

It’s the $10 leather couch bullshit.

Now Mac is the voice of reason these days:

let’s talk about billie eilish instead of elon musk.

This show is an example of how an adaptation can actually be better than it’s source material.

I listened to the first book recently and holy hell, it read almost like a YA parody Twitter thread. Just trope and trope after trope. There’s an orphan who discovers they have miraculous powers that could actually save the…

Kate ticks all the same boxes that made women appealing to the masses two centuries ago. She never complains. She always makes sure to look her best. She rigorously watches her weight. She makes sure she does whatever the Firm tells her to with a smile. She ignored the philandering before and after her marriage. …

“Embezzlement” seems like an odd charge for failing to return a rented videotape. And I have a hard time understanding why it would be a felony for a tape that would have been worth $60 at most. That’s just weird.
