Someone needs to be like “sir, you have made America great again, and now it’s time for you to focus on getting into heaven” and then 25th amendment his ass into the sun.

of the best things that have happened in the last decade, #1 remains "the Dungeons and Dragons movie naming that one character Jarnathan" and it's not particularly close

If the CEO is noticing most of us at all, it’s a bad thing.

In the sense that it really does feel like elder abuse to keep putting him in the spotlight when his mind is obviously so far gone, that is.

“[Vendor] isn’t answering emails”
“We don’t need R&Rs”

One thing that’s funny about how we react to stuff like this is how earnest we are. Workers were as likely to think “census? I’m gonna fuck with this guy” then as now. Taking the piss was not invented in the 20th century

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

One of the hard lessons I have learned, too, as I have got older, and never more so than with this fiasco.

Nice is also often synonymous with charming. And the publishing industry is full of people with very fine schooling, who were taught charm, and clever ways to wield it, from an early age.

Oh, fam, I’ve been there. Whinge away

Me? Oh, not much, just cleaning my new purse and explaining the concept of a “major thrifting find” to a dog who has no concept of status symbols or money but is kind of interested in tasting the saddle soap.

My oldest, who had dozens of toys, once took three shoes out of the closet and obliterated them. One from each of my three pairs of Clarks Englands, the only expensive shoes I owned which I had bought for work.

Better not risk it though. We know the bed is safe. Outside there could be avalanches. Or yetis.

Cool, if it’s one of the common ones then I keep my little dudes pretty well up-to-date just in case they have to go to the kennel, so this is good to know!

I’m given to understand that it’s extremely unlikely but theoretically possible for a moose to have rabies and oh boy do I have feelings about that

I mean the truth is I feel bad for them too and that’s part of why I’m mad about this.

Skeletal Viking Amy @lasrina.bsky.social · 3d

That’s part of the problem because I’m going to feel bad for them when they start getting run over by cars.
