Our policy leaders say humans coexisted with dinosaurs and climate change was invented by communists. You think they give a fuck about any new research? They’re almost illiterate.

She’s not scowling. She has some sort of muscular/nerve problem. It’s especially awkward when combined with her constant whining, but there’s nothing she can do about her face.

At first, I was frustrated they aren’t giving their spare thousands of dollars to a charity. Then I read that the guy says, “Believe me, I could use the $200.” So this is beginning to sound like an addiction that harms the collector too.

Town was such a huge, fun place.  It’s no more.  :(

White supremacy is one form of bigotry. There are other forms of bigotry, like what happened here. You don’t need an explanation from me; you seem personally familiar with the concept.

Ugh, okay, but fuck all these companies and government agencies that allow people to resign in good standing. The employees get payouts and benefits, and in the case of law enforcement, they can get pensions for a lifetime. Resignation is like a settlement outside of court without any review by neutral arbitrators.…

Look at him whine, “my full answer is rarely played.” Does he really finish speeches, and then think he spoke in sentences? He’s proud of that? He should be glad that most media edit his answers. Editing makes him sound more competent. I find his voice babyish, so I have trouble listening to it (especially after hours…

Strangely, this man graduated elementary school.

Q is also one of the least-used letters of the alphabet. This fool doesn’t work for the Dept. of Energy and has never even studied the work of the agency. He’s a bored loser who picked an “alluring” letter.

The fringe bumps up against everyone else more often than you think.  I’ve been to Comet Ping Pong (for beer and pizza, not for raping children) and it’s scary to think that a very stupid man went there and shot a gun.  I’m not going back.  That’s still a real restaurant owned by a real man, and this nightmare is his…

One country likely has a higher rate: North Korea.

A couple of oddball things to note: the for-profit bail industry is illegal in the entire world except for the US and Philippines. We think it’s normal, and it’s not. Solitary confinement is considered torture by the UN and it’s illegal in many countries (though not as widely banned as cash bail). It’s another thing…

We keep pushing kids into STEM programs, but instead we should tell them, “Unless you’re a sexy multi-millionaire, no one will care about you.”  Meanwhile, the kids can’t become multi-millionaires because they’re taking out loans to study science, which is worthless in this country.

I will never understand the confidence behind and proliferation of the argument that goes, “He hasn’t raped all women, therefore he has raped zero women.” (This time, coming from a law professor!)

Jojo Siwa is the term for a bookshelf from Ikea. 

Sadly, this is a real thing. They swapped out recyclable packaging with a new tube that will need to go to a landfill. It’s a limited release, so the total environmental footprint will be small, but it was an unnecessary change. It’s real, it’s stupid, and it’s wasteful.

Trees fall in the forest even if you never go outside. News exists even if you don’t read it. They covered the Outlander thing here at Gawker, among many other sites. 

It’s a tough pig to fuck.

They knew they were going to dig out the tree and quarantine it until it died.

I would estimate it’s about 99 to 100% death.
