ME: What’s the first rule of bite club?
DRACULA: Is it biting?
ME: That’s right, Dracula, it’s biting.
RATTLESNAKE: [quietly to himself] I was gonna say biting.

I have a large skeleton hanging on my front door for Fall and it’s gotten to the point where I high-five him every time I walk in or else I feel impending doom. This morning my hands were pretty full as I approached him but don’t worry, I kissed him very gently on the mouth just as someone walked by

The greatest thing I own or will ever own is this old retail standee where Dracula casually reveals a coffin full of Doritos and Pepsi.

a friend just texted me to say she’d found our favorite piece of journalism of the 2010s in the Gawker archives and I must reiterate - as I have said on here before - that I do believe this is where the internet peaked on March 20 2014 and it has all been downhill from there

And now for today's good news ... a wonderful librarian now has a full time job getting people excited about books. All kinds of books. Even the diverse ones that the government doesn't want you to read.

I appreciate your vote against the CR, but after watching everything that this fascist administration has done, how can you truly believe that any of them will "negotiate" in good faith? We need you to fight for the most vulnerable among us, not continue this futile "bipartisan" pipe dream.

I have no need for genAI. It would improve nothing in my life. It wouldn't save me time. I could not trust any text it assembled. It cannot research. It cannot write like I do. It cannot create like I do.

It cannot justify its existence or its expense.

It is not inevitable. It is not unavoidable.

Back when I was in college and wrote for the school newspaper I wrote a whole thing about the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which eliminated media ownership restrictions, and how that was going to fuck us over forever and people were like "Dan, I dunno this is an art school," well eat shit fuckos.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

Conservative white men are not used to actually being the victim of violence which is why we are seeing such a massive fear reaction from the Right disguised as “where is your EMPATHY, perform it for me RIGHT NOW!”
