Even We Rate Dogs is writing anti-ICE screeds after they killed a dog for no reason entering someone's house to look for Anne Frank.

Rest In Power, Chop.

RIP Chop, fuck ICE
We Rate Dogs O
This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by
ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of
the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away
in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers. According to the family,
it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border
Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of
the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled
to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid
from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find
any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop 14/10

When visiting, the great Chris Fowler would leave the host with a book chosen from his own shelves, which gives our copy of Rashomon special significance. I’m way too tight to do the same

Doctor Who. The very spirit of two planks and a passion.

God, I love Kinda. Look at this gloriousness: a background cyc held up on a bar, an unpainted tree with no top held up on a studio hoist rope, a foliage cyc on the left with curtain folds in it, and a studio cable on the flat grey floor (tho no plant pots in this shot). It's magnificent! #DoctorWho

I loved the story from a Texan whose prepper brother retreated to his bunker during a power failure, only to go hungry because his electric can opener wouldn’t work. The brother knew a trick to open a can without one, but wouldn’t tell him.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Drama and English, joint honours. I’ll have my 30 years of staggering taxes back, please. Not sure what to do about the jobs created along the way

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.
