You can expect this to get much worse next year. Planned Parenthood is one of the most important institutions in the fight against venereal diseases in this country and the Republicans hate it with a passion that burns like herpes.

When Mike Pence took over Indiana he managed to shoot it to the top of the chart in syphilis case diagnosis within a given ZIP code.

I really hope they do. An example needs to be made of crunchy roll too, but the individual human person who made this decision and anyone who participated by opening the mail themselves needs to be hauled into court prosecuted, and then spend some time in prison.

One time I went to the restaurant DAMON BAEHREL. I was informed afterwards that it had a 10-year waiting list and only seated 100 people a month. Despite having regularly commuted between the Midwest and the East Coast, getting there felt like the longest road trip I've ever taken since I had to go with my mother-in-law and some of it is on a gravel road.

I had to Google DAMON BAEHREL to spell it and I'm not going to bother retyping it.

It was far and away the most pretentious, absurd, cartoonishly fancy experience I've ever had, and I've dressed up in antique ceremonial Moroccan robes for a banquet at the art museum in the city I grew up in. At the art museum I sat next to the mayor's mother in a room of 200 people conversely, about 30 people total could fit into DAMON BAEHREL.

I thought the art museum banquet was fancy, but when I was little I thought Boston Market and IBC root beer were fancy.

DAMON BAEHREL was the kind of place that serves a dozen 'courses' but each one is like one cracker one sliver of cheese and one spritz of condiment with maybe a sliver of sausage made from some bespoke farm animal. He insisted that the water we were drinking was actually unreduced tree sap. Everything was served on various slabs of wood some with the bark still on it. The slabs were so much larger than the food It looked like putting a coin on a serving platter for each course.

I just felt embarrassed every time I looked at the Damon and his staff. They had clearly heard his bullshit so many times that it was hard for them to feign credulity anymore.

Anyway, that shit was way too fancy for me. Clearly it was just wasted on me.

When I saw my first textbook that had an XKCD comic in it I had A little bit of a squeal of joy. I'm old What do I know.

Kahn is the real deal. I hope Harris keeps her and gives her anything she asks for.

Lina Kahn could be the trust buster we need to get America's shit together and maybe reign in some of these big businesses that seem to be completely above the law.

We are lucky we got Tim Walz instead of Newsom. Tim really cares about outcomes but Gavin is all about appearances.

Killing the first one probably won't any more than killing a single mouse doesn't stop an infestation, but once the mice realize that you got a couple of cats they will find the exit.

That's why you need to put traps by the exit too, the mice know too much and might potentially regroup to return with better tactics. You've got to get them all in one swift purge.

Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to uphold our principles.

Not getting abused by Sony and it's ilk Is just one of the many principles that we can uphold at minimal risk and for minimal cost.

My hourly rate for tutoring is actually about 50% higher than my hourly rate for on call support which is about 100% higher than my hourly rate for work.

I'm trying to afford groceries here, It's not 90 days payable It's pay-per-play. I'm tired of trying to finance an inhaler while the boss's favorite child can't decide on a font color and thinks that 5 minute phone calls at 7:30 on a friday are free.

It's not ironic it's intentional.

After 9/11, this country took a hard turn into fascism and boot licking. I was complaining about the new McCarthyism, the demented expansion of the police state, and the march to the right when my aunt interrupted me to say "not everyone thinks McCarthy was the bad guy there." She said it was such smug indignation I was genuinely shocked there were people that were fans of McCarthy.

When I said that that kind of un-American behavior leads to stuff like Kent State, she said, "If you can't be loyal to the troops you get what you deserve." That's when I realized that we as a nation were absolutely fucked.

They seem to spin some kind of silk everywhere they go. They seem to be no longer than about 4 mm. I noticed them crawling up things and then dropping down on a line of silk. I've started catching them by putting little sticks up in the air attached everywhere that I find them. They tend to gather at the top of the stick for easy rapture by vacuum.

Someone should mass print the most common tattoo shapes in temporary tattoos and hand them out at protests or sell them for cheap.

Seems like a great way of just poisoning a lot of data sets

I feel like they probably have something to do with light level detection or infrared signal receiving but I genuinely have no idea. They could just as likely be part of the sound system for all I know.

I really hope the investigation doesn't die with him. If he really was some kind of predator or creep, his reputation shouldn't be allowed to go into the grave intact.

I will try not to over explain the life out of it
