I’m not sure if you can overdose on schadenfreude but we’re about to find out

Famously, this excuse works great when it's time for folks to answer for what's happening.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

Please enjoy this ridiculously cute butterfly, which was about the size of my pinkie fingernail. It's in the butterfly family called metalmarks (Riodinidae). Males, like these, have reduced front legs and perch using only the rear 4 (females can use all 6). Sarota acantus; Costa Rica 🐙🌿 #insects

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

From Gaza, thank you for your words. We don’t ask for much just to stop the killing and be heard. Pain isn’t an opinion, and genocide isn’t a debate. Standing against it isn’t hate, it’s humanity. Your voice gives us strength when the world tries to silence our suffering.

Seriously. If you are, I dunno, supporting trans people accessing hormones despite bans? Or helping people access abortion care? You do not talk about it online. You do not brag. You do not bring it up with your friends at movie night. You do not mention it in church. You do this shit silently.

This is Malak. He was caught on camera busting a hole through the wall. Immediately felt really bad about it, if that helps his case. 12/10

Hey, I'm an idiot and forgot to update my comic on Monday. Here it is: theunfamiliars.site

I think if someone publicly defends hoovering up the work of living artists and writers without permission for the sake of an easier time doing capitalism, any artist or writer then gets to go to that person's home and take whatever they want.

Have you supported your local degenerates today?
