Yeah folks are really having fun being the worst about this and it is a good reminder of who I can trust and who I can not. So I mean, I guess keep doing it so I know, but whew.

I'm not trying to be a dick.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

Me not checking the cast to this me musical and my eyes bugging out of my head when f murray Abraham shows up in the box next to my seats singing.

So fortunate I found Ryan. Sweetest teddy bear person because I am absolutely someone that is best described as “their vibes are off” - I don’t try to be and actually have a pretty sunshiny and genuine personality but….lol.

Why Did UChicago Destroy the Humanities?

The answer is simple: to spend untold sums on useless buildings by starchitects.

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

I know I can be a snob about a lot. It’s not my best quality but I really do get frustrated that the the convos about challenging literature or films is going into “this is only important in academia”. Were at a point liberal arts will only be accessible to the wealthy again. This isn’t good.

Regarding classics “snobbery” and that it holds no meaning outside of specific academic settings - I put this here. Just kind of a bummer from people I respect.

There is no excuse for racist mascots when you can have this bizarre gang including bonus haunted child. Cooler in every possible way

Post from the x account “baseballs greatest moments”

The Phillies first mascot ; the dancing Dutchman and his rat Chauncey

There is an old picture of a man in a tattered overcoat and he has a beard in a hat, to his right is a person in a rat costume, and to the rats right is a child with a white mask on

I like that this admin is pretty much a bunch of people that got dunked on and then banned from a forum and now are taking it out on the world.

Feels great

There is so much terrible stuff going on and yet you have a whole group that have been pretty much driven insane by their hate. It’s honestly pretty funny at this point.

People spin a lot of stuff up freaking out.

It’s a bad tos but they aren’t going to ban games outright.
