Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED to see that the cops are changing their story of how they caught a right-wing assassin

I'm not overly fond of the future where shops no longer exist and I need to waste hours on end doing research through a search engine that lies to me to make an online order of a product that isn't what I wanted and there isn't any more fucking customer service anyway.

Cuomo’s car parked (illegally) outside union HQ. I asked a cop nearby if it was parked illegally. He said “yes.” Why? “Because it got two tickets already”

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.

“Historically, no one lived past age 35” "I’ve heard *so* many versions of this claim, including recently from a menopause doctor (implying menopause is not “natural” because noone lived long enough to go through it). Every time someone states this “fact,” a demographer loses a piece of their soul"

If you refused to support genocide you are not against fascism !

It's amazing how the easiest solution to so many jobs, industries, etc. is to simply hire more people.

"What if we made the entire phone out of the malware?"

scholar of partisan violence/Latin American Dirty Wars here: there is nothing to distinguish this from how people were taken in Argentina, Guatemala, Chile, etc, except that it's all on camera

Climate change is helping various kinds of ticks grow their populations and spread to new areas, where they threaten to spread new diseases. I wrote about it and learned some horror-movie-worthy details that you need to know too

US police are allowed to do things to American citizens which would be considered war crimes if a soldier did them to civilians in a war zone. This includes the use of chemical weapons like tear gas. This includes the use of torture methods like solitary confinement. This includes murder.

Seattle is the first MLS team ever to score in the FIFA Club World Cup. Even game Miami a headstart, and they got shutout. MLS scoring in the Club World Cup? Seattle invented it. #ebfg

Instant Pot Brands plans to offer a “45/47 Collaboration” featuring various products branded with those numbers and Trump’s signature “Make America Great Again” tagline.

But I thought we needed police to protect us?

It's pretty irritating how many pundits would hear the ideas "I want to shove 100 live scorpions in your mouth" and "I want to shove 0 live scorpions in your mouth" and sagely declare: "The wisest course of action is to let someone shove 50 live scorpions in your mouth."

Kroger has shut down four Colorado locations as grocery strike begins. The UFCW just launched these initial walk outs, but the strike could grow dramatically and spread across multiple strikes. Over 100,000 supermarket workers have authorized strikes across the West and PNW.

Oh my God!? We've been added to the Library of Congress. A literary magazine that I make for fun in my basement as my midlife crisis has been added to the historical record, called the uh, ahem, Taco Bell Quarterly. We are the most prestigious literary magazine of all time.

the LAPD should not exist, and to a person every one of them is evil. If you're LAPD and you're reading this, you're either evil for what you're doing or evil for what you refuse to stop. If you're not LAPD, i dunno, buy a dildo.

The heart of the universal loathing for Diamond, right here. Comics, as an industry, does not print money, and hasn't done so for 75 years. To quote Too Skinnee J's, "we does this cuz we loves this." The invoices owed to/stock kept from small pubs by Diamond right now could be enough to sink them.
