Oh, absolutely. I was just surprised they said anything at all about it.

OPM finally acknowledged it’s possible they might not get the funding to do this from Congress and then tried to compare it to getting furloughed. The mental gymnastics were Olympic level.

It’s definitely dumb, but it has been around for a very very long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist_sexual_practices

Bonus gross points for the Age of Partners section.

I think he’d probably prefer the phrase “Amerika über alles” instead, based on his reading preferences.

I definitely would be a lot more likely to attend a church’s services if they put on regular drag shows. Make it a drag brunch and I’ll be there every Sunday.

It would help explain Thor-Hulk vs Hulk-Thor:

Hold a “So you just lost access to the employee discount” sale on the Microsoft store.

It’s great! I’d put it up there with other weird children’s lit like The Stinky Cheese Man and Strega Nona.

IIRC DreamWorks originally tried adapting the book directly but it didn’t really work so they kept some concepts and redid the entire story. Early designs of movie Shrek looked a lot closer to book Shrek.

The fun thing is that people say “I graduated” or “I’m graduating” but it’s technically more correct to say “I am being graduated (by the university).” I might be mixing it up a bit, but the idea is that the university always has the final say over whether or not you get that important piece of paper at the end.

One of my teachers in high school taught us this, but I never actually thought I’d see it in action. It’s cruel.

Every time I open up another Stamets post

People said the same thing about DHS when it was spawned forth into being. Maybe not a great comparison, but I feel like this one has a little more purpose to it other than job creation.

I think a lot of people have kinda forgotten what NYC was like before companies like airbnb and uber showed up.

Before Uber, there were underground networks of ride sharers that had to evade the police by using “secret” signals and code words. It was absolutely wild, required a ton of trust and only really existed because of the stranglehold the cab companies had over the city.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a similar system in place for rentals before airbnb showed up.

Don’t worry, they’re too busy actively using children as pawns to fuck over the Internet, labor laws and trans people.

The impact site should be given a suitable name to remember this event. Fascist’s Folly? Dictator’s Demise?
