(I don't actually know if you could call Pride and Prejudice 'monolith' but it's the only other novel with an ampersand I could pull off the top of the dome.)
DAMMIT. CRIME & PUNISHMENT WAS RIGHT THERE.

I think you need some Ampersands in your life.
Maybe Pride & Prejudice
Or if you're feeling brave and studious,
War & Peace

Oh god oh no Nascar has sprung a massive leak.

I really hope that one of the many takeaways we walk away with after all this bull is that arrest quotas are cruel, stupid, and worthless. I guarantee that "I have to meet my quota" is how a lot of these goons justify this crap to themselves.

I SWEAR this episode existed already, but I'm happy to rewatch it in this version of reality.

This is good, but we should avoid celebrating too early. Some brain geniuses appear to have filed at least one recall petition with no intention to follow through, possibly to block a recall from being brought up again for the cooling off period.

This one the other day gave me a legit belly-laugh. A $1.00 novelty christmas tree skirt. Completely out of left-field.

W64 sometimes gets promos for non-video game related stuff that in no way maps to any rhyme or reason with his branding. Like cookies you can order off of Amazon. I think it's amusing sometimes, and the guy's gotta pay the bills somehow.

Based on the quotes pulled for this story, the report amounts to "Please make more money. Management can fix this somehow." Nothing about the quality or content of the products. Basically an extremely wordy "do more with less."

I got an email from Indeed last week that basically said "we found a position related to your skillset! You're a terrible fit!"

I forget the exact wording but there was a big bolded section with a red background that said something like "Match rating: Poor."

Hate to be a spoilsport here, but I'm reasonably sure she just thinks she's being funny. Evil people can make jokes, too. She's probably not actually huffing markers and her spare time, and brain damage does not magically turn you into a hateful monster.

And I have, shamefully, first-hand experience with being the "woe is me, my whiteness" type a couple of times earlier in my life. Nothing good or fulfilling ever came from my attitude. When I started just resisting the urge to get defensive and respecting their space, that hangup just evaporated.

These "woe is me! Somebody is upset about my whiteness!" losers are unequivocally just too lazy or wrapped up in themselves to do a little work to prove themselves as baseline decent human beings.

I'm so sick of hearing/reading this stupid-ass take. On the extremely rare occasions that somebody has made a judgement about me by my appearance, I've never had trouble smoothing it out by just being kind and understanding where their mistrust comes from.

Welp, I guess you can take pride in the realization that a stranger thinks your sketch is so awesome that they'd pay you real money for it? It really is a great little bit of art.

Remember the episode where Misty dies of third degree burns to her entire head?

I was about to post that this has the same energy as that tweet exchange as the two guys on twitter gaslighting themselves into thinking that metal gear solid is "historical" instead of "political" and then I realized I can't because one of them uses a fucking racial slur. god dammit.
