Incredibly dangerous to go directly from a Wikipedia tab to an eBay tab.

It goes unsaid, but there are a lot of people here who are powerful in media and they all follow each other (it was even more noticeable on Twitter pre-Musk). There have been several instances of people freaking out or posting misinformation that doesn’t get removed before the narrative solidifies.

Love the forked tail protruding from the extremely well-defined right buttcheek.

Yes!! One of the perks of being a trustworthy little kid was that you got to go to the main office for good reasons (and maybe even the supply room 👀)

My elementary school had so many little jobs that we all loved to do. I worked in the cafeteria (put tins onto the trays and sold milk cartons) and the ball room (lent out play equipment). Being the librarian’s assistant during lunch was one of the most sought-after positions!

The number of federal employees has been flat since the late 1960s and the US population has nearly doubled over that same period of time.

I’m not watching the baseball but am enjoying watching everyone watching it. The baseball appears to be having some difficulties.

I remember how janky the Chessex website was just a few years ago. What were tabletop game stores gonna do, NOT order dice sets from a site where you emailed them your credit card number?

It’s also mostly dimly lit! And then you happen to get a glimpse and it’s an absolutely wild collection of patterns.

It would also be ridiculous to suggest replacing any EV tax credits with a tax on non-EV owners, regardless of circumstance. Everyone would justifiably be mad at that!

“ATCs shouldn’t get paid” is not the thought of a politically-savvy mind.

It’s a city that famously always hates its mayor! You gotta build up some goodwill before dealing with whatever scandals the NYPD throws at you.

If the fascist comms guys were 10 years older, we’d be seeing the same thing but with Simpsons memes.

Not to sound too much like a young Millennial, but I hate how frequently they use SpongeBob memes. Those are OUR memes!

There were a surprising amount of survivors! I think because everyone knows the “oh the humanity” broadcast and because modern aviation disasters are quite deadly, I first assumed most of the passengers died.
