Goodnight everybody. Try to be less stupid in the morning.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

Paint me like one of your French cats.

If the Cubs won the World Series again would it shift us back into the real universe or shunt us off to some new and even worse somehow third timeline?

Oh this time it’s not because of the president? Weird. Last time it was the president’s fault.

“We will see a similar pricing pattern from last year, where we will have higher prices in late fall and winter due to large bird flu outbreaks. Egg prices could double during that time period, and then, as we get closer to summer, when the bird flu is ramping down, we will see a decrease...”

Belatedly reading about this and as always really important to remind people in *every breath* that when the right talks about “woke” and “DEI” they are talking about the cultural and political wins of the civil rights movement. This arrangement existed for 52 years because of historical activism.

Ooh do we get to explain to someone new that Jewish atheists are perfectly cromulent and the things they hate about “all religions” that ruined their childhood are usually specifically Christian?

I hate this shit. not least because I'm an atheist!

One of the nastiest things from these nasty pieces of work has been the lie that kidlit creatives, teachers & librarians are somehow grooming kids.

Statistically, a parent, guardian, or other relative is more likely to be the perpetrator: www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/media-room/n...

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

"You are making us become Nazis because you are mean to us" I think is the argument

Every time.

Yeah the part where Azaria talks in an American accent for a bit was particularly jarring in retrospect.

The episode of the Simpsons where Springfield votes to expel immigrants and have to learn that immigrants are actually both good people and essential is on and it reminds me how heart this show once had and how the cynical both sides suck content (e.g. South Park) has helped break our society.

The thing about the Roberts Court is they're not evil geniuses, because they're not geniuses.
