one of the problems with the pre-trump immigration system was that when you tried to explain to people how complicated and byzantine the process for coming here legally was, they simply would not believe you
trump has "fixed" this by simply making it impossible to come here legally

ME: rectangle please
ADOBE: sorry but i can only do that in an insane way now. here is a new layer and a vector for some reason
A thing about the heaviest users of chatbots is that they acclimate to cloying obsequiousness. Like a billionaire and their entourage of viziers, it becomes normal to them.
Any interaction that is *not* abject simpering they'll now perceive as a slap to the face, an aggressively violent outburst.

we all know I have no life, so:
i have just checked the rule book and there is no rule that a dog can not be a tailor
I was in HS at the time, and all the Goth kids were instantly under suspicion and ostracized even more than they already were. We also all started self-censoring HARD on required journal entries about reactions to what we were reading in English class
If you're gonna bet on sports, you should have to travel to a small town called Deposit and walk into a place like this
When I see someone getting unhinged about a tv show because it doesn’t match the show in their head
As someone who has seen each of the 23 movies in Phase 1, and that thought Endgame was one of the greatest cinematic achievements (in its own way) of all time, listen to me when I say:
I am so tired of the MCU. I have no desire to do the homework to understand this movie.
We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.
We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.
Macro photo in portrait arrangement — a jaunty little click beetle faces the camera while perched, dare I say in an optimistic posture on some stucco. His antennae look like a series of triangles. He looks curious. Happy. Hopeful. One supposes this is because he does not have a cell phone and does not read the news. All he knows is being a cool bug and also clicking his entire body like a weird awesome dude any time someone tries to Kafka his ass upside-down. I wish I could do that. Getting out of bed in the morning would fucking rule. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig
Good morning instead of enjoying clickbait let’s enjoy this click beetle
You guys. A goose is nesting under the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. This is our Romulus and Remus moment. We already became ungovernable. Now we become myth. #Minneapolis.
LRT: I am so mad about this. There's such a non-zero chance that Melissa and Mark Hortman could've lived.
Police: our job is very dangerous so we need a lot of funding and special laws that protect us from any accountability. We must be able to kill people if we’re scared
Police when facing any danger whatsoever: hmm that’s too dangerous can’t do that. I could get hurt!

Today the 12yo has declared it Bunny Harvestman Awareness Day!
Let your feelings about arachnids be tempered with the knowledge that some inexplicably and adorably have bunny ears.
Transformers! More than meets the eye!
This VERY ANGRY ROCK is actually a brown box crab (Echidnocerus foraminatus), a king crab found off the Pacific coast of North America.
The impressively compact shape is a defense posture, but there's an even neater feature not shown here.

A painting of Space Sheriff Gavan wielding a huge, glowing sword while standing in front of a mecha dragon, with an orange, glowing planet or perhaps sun in the background
For anyone who thought the dragon ship in this week's Gavan Infinity was blatently toyetic, it's ripped almost directly from the OG 1982 Gavan series, where it was prominent enough to be used in one of the commercial bumpers

Please take this quick, meaningless 19 question survey so I can get data for my students to learn stats!
I did a similar version a few months ago but missed an important question type. Even if you did the old one, please do it again!
Please circulate widely!
