Roadside rapid tests should be banned. The tests are, no doubt, going to test positive for whatever they are intended to detect - there is great doubt that they will test negative for everything else in the universe, which means plenty of false positives which means plenty of wrongful arrests, seizures, stays in jail…

Friends of mine are currently house hunting. They found a house they really liked in the neighborhood they wanted. On budget.

Really? Ask Philandro Castile about that.

I’d be somewhat careful about accepting an offer to live in the UAE for any length of time, especially if a person is female.

Uh, hey, Richard?

Your entire *SPORT* is a backwards-looking joke funded largely by people who want to pretend like the olden days were both better and somehow something we can replicate today without irony.

When you decide to drag your sport out of the Confederate-flag-waving Women-hating Noose-hanging “Stock” car…

This toy rules.

Does it come with the mild existential dread I experienced as a 20 (something) year old counter worker? Because that would be a modified stat I’d love to see! Have just the right amount? You get more costumers! Too much? They are turned off by the ennui.

I’m Gen-X and was left alone by myself or with another kid my age often so that my mom could work. I was also around 8. 

The fact is that America has criminalized being poor. And with America having a for-profit justice/prison system and the fact that the country is steadily sliding into being a 3rd world county, this is obviously a bad thing. Welcome to American Late Stage Capitalism.

I think my oldest brother was 8 years old the first time my parents left us home alone. But then I’m a Boomer, and running around unsupervised was pretty much the norm.

Just watch ‘Lassie’ sometime. You’ll see.

So, a new fashioned. 

I dub thee The Light Side of the Moon. Swap out blackberry syrup for the Dark Side. 

Everyone wants to go viral until it’s for something they didn’t want anyone to know about. 

“i cant win the internet” says internet sensation that originally had a tik tok profile and broadcasted on the app known for getting attention on the internet with dances, that they got gorilla glue in their hair and did not see a doctor about it immediately.

stop talking. just stop. go back the oblivion you came from.…

I know this was mostly built on marketing material for a podcast selling kids, but shouldn’t step one be determining whether you should start a podcast with your kid, with a big question being whether it’s anything beyond just commodifying him and setting him up for later embarrassment? I would be much more…

Today, we decided to remove the server and its owner from Discord for continuing to allow hateful and discriminatory content after repeated warnings.

What Rowling has said is shit. Don’t defend this bigot she has more than enough money to do it herself. If someone says awful things they should be held accountable. 

I also think about RBG’s friendship with Scalia...which he just didn’t deserve.  That’s the problem with nice people, they’re nice to people who don’t deserve it, we all should be meaner and hold the baddies accountable.

It feels like sometimes folks from marginalized groups who attain a crazy amount of success - enough so that they’re essentially inoculated to hardships by money, power, fame, etc - and are able to take a far more forgiving stance on things, especially when it comes to friends. I’m thinking similarly of Ellen paling…

I love the haunted biscuit can. ;D  “The devil’s biscuits!  WoOoOoOooo...”
