She's the very emblem of a fairy type: beautiful, elegant, graceful, terrifying, menacing, effortlessly dominates dragons.
This is what hedonism is supposed to do for the rich. Not just "snorting a line of coke off a supermodel's ass" hedonism (though that too), it amazes me how many rich people collect fast cars, art, video games, antiques, etc & proceed to *not use them*. Hedonism distracts from our mortality.

I think some people must hate waxy textures or have a cilantroesque gene that makes carnauba wax taste bad or something.
I don't have a problem with it, to me candy corn is a great example of an "alright" candy. It's neither the best nor the worst.
Would it not make the most sense to introduce the tools to a cow and see what the cow does with them?

DON'T USE SPOTIFY.

USE ANY OTHER SERVICE.

Tidal, Qobuz, even Apple Music is less evil than Spotify somehow.

Better yet, get music from Bandcamp and own your music. Give the artists a bigger cut. And curate the music you want on your own terms.
Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify
New York has been a place of many cultures & religious beliefs *since it was called New Amsterdam*. Look up Anthony Janszoon van Salee.
Like, make it at least a little plausible that there's a reason other than racism-baiting headlines for your article to exist?
This is the dumbest "scandal" I've ever seen.
It doesn't even do a good job of propagandizing beyond maybe word-associating Mamdani with 9/11. It's so asinine it distracts from the purpose even for Post readers.
Don't they have better, or at least more scandalous, things to accuse him of?
*Be me*
*Be not into sports & only vaguely aware that baseball is being played*
*Go to bed at somewhat reasonable hour after playing the new Pokemon game*
*Wake up in the middle of the night. Check BlueSky*
*Feed full of baseball*
*18+ innings?*
*What the fsck*
It's like Freedom of Religion, you have the right to whichever you want, including none.

"Microsoft is attempting to restrict audio settings to people with Windows 11 Licenses" is some shit you'd hear Linux users making up and then getting laughed at because its Too Ridiculous but here we are, I guess.

v1.109 is rolling out today! #NewProfilePic

We've given the app a mini makeover with some new shades of blues! Plus, a whole bunch of bug fixes and performance improvements to make your experience better.
1. Is "Woman" a distinct category from "Girl"?
2. How do you categorize animal protagonists e.g. the Goose from Untitled Goose Game?
3. Pokémon let's you choose boy or girl, but does this apply to the Pokémon themselves? Is Ditto a Kirby?

Witches became much more prolific after the computer word processor was invented. It's way easier to cast magic with a spell check
If I'm not mistaken, "macaroni" was an 18th century anglophone thing for both pasta (in general, not just elbows) and foppish Continental styles, both of which were brought home by young noblemen who toured Europe.
Yankee Doodle was such an unsophisticated backwards fellow, he stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni with a laugh, you know. :p
Fops, coxcombs, popinjays, and macaroni were a thing (some were even straight!), but the intersection of "likes to dress pretty & act effeminate" & "rich noblemen" created an alliance of machismo-brains & small-r republicans to mock them.

We’ve already seen quite a few examples of ICE agents trying to kidnap someone and eventually giving up and running away because a crowd had gathered and shouted them down. That’s EFFECTIVE.
A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Capitalism is the real addictive monster, not boobs. :p
I can see how pornographic content could be made addictive through the use of predatory tactics, but that's like saying video games are always addictive/wrong/gross because predatory gacha games exist. It's the specific mechanics that are a problem, not the content itself.
"Penisn't", " vag'in", "penis'd", "vagout"....

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x
