For decades, men from Milwaukee voided even the appearance of cannibalism. Jeffery Dahmer is taking a different approach.

I like that when someone comes out of surgery, everyone tells the patient that they "did great." They even said this about my kittens after their spaying.

Modesty is nice, but really the surgeon and other professionals ought to take some credit. I just slept through it.

Sleepy and tired are totally different things. They can but don't necessarily exist simultaneously.

Two kittens sleep with their faces right up on each other.

I feel that we all need this today.

At this point I feel like his handlers could tell them they did whatever crazy shit he's threatening and just show him scenes from some explody action movie. You could even tell him he called it off, but he was sundowning so he doesn't remember.

Except they want this just as bad.

Being on the job market during The Horrors is bad enough. Being a sociologist and watching our body of knowledge and perspectives, new and existing, being systematically devalued by the perpetrators of The Horrors is especially demoralizing.

Why Fascists Hate Sociology (opinion) The anti-sociology politicians are on to something in grasping the field’s power.

Why do fascists hate sociology? Because it makes transparent everything fascists don't want you to know. A sociological imagination makes us harder to control. Long live the sociological imagination.

We used to say that every time we brought our car to Lincolnwood Toyota for required maintenance or just an oil change, it would be a mandatory minimum of $250.

Do you mean they will start sharing how-to for murder, or women discover what they've done and take revenge?

When I first read about it the Pelicot case, I felt sick for days. How would she ever trust someone again? What kind of vile man can do that to anyone, let alone their wife?

Taking shoes off in a forest is a really bad idea, if only because of ticks. I'm not autistic at all, but I have almost never liked the setting in those since they don't usually feature, "looking at nature out a window" or "sitting comfortably in a library with fuzzy slippers and a cat on my lap".

Putting the "hospital" in "Hospitaliano!"

I'm not new, but tonight I put a large glob of wasabi in my mouth. I thought it was avocado, but I wasn't wearing my specs and I guess I can no longer get away with just holding things at a distance.

On a related note, the dose per piece of edibles should be printed much larger.

Professors & university staff were targeted & fired for less than this just a few months ago.

I'm an election judge and we haven't had heat all day in this big grade school gym. I have a wrap around my sweater and my coat over my legs. My feet are just frozen.

The older kitten (3 months) has just shown that she can jump onto the counter from the floor. Just straight up. Whole new set of dangers now.

Calico kitten laying next to grey tabby kitten. Both uncomfortably cute.

We have been adopted by Lilikoi - a 2 month old kitten (calico) and Jane (gray tabby) who is a month older. They were in the same room at the shelter, not bonded or anything, and now they are best friends. They are hilarious and sweet and make things more bearable.

The moose is loose and the zoos lose.

I had to write that down immediately because I was trying to think of a way to get students to remember when to use and to stop using loose for both. Which happened all the time. In their university work.

Then I realized I'm not a teacher anymore.

The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None. Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law? Zachary: Correct. Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

This map shows where ICE is conducting the most "at large" arrests.

Notice a pattern?

AI generated picture of Tr*mp holding hands with a penguin holding a US flag, with the Greenland flag in the distance.

They don't even know that penguins live on the opposite end of the world from Greenland. We are being terrorized by imbeciles.

I like to read books about people climbing mountains. I have absolutely no desire to climb a mountain.

I keep thinking about how our current social and political conditions relate to our cultural products. I wonder why I keep doing this.

Then I realize I am actually trained to do exactly this kind of analysis and taught mass media and pop culture for 15 years.

Then I go back to sending out resumes.

maybe these chodes should’ve watched more saturday morning cartoons bc an entire generation of us learned this from fucking schoolhouse rock

Having the World Cup and Olympics here under the Trump regime is really a recipe for disaster.

Again: why would any player or fan come here under these circumstances? Especially non-white people?

Expect more of this👇🏽

Also I'm very happy you loved it and look forward to talking about it.

It's a series of books, and they covered the first 2 this season. I don't know if they've said which of the 4 remaining will be seasons 2 and 3. I'd be surprised if they didn't do Shane/Ilya's second book.

Bless Canada for taking a risk on this. This opens the door for other sports butts.

Theodora Dorno (named for Theodor Adorno) was my best buddy and constant companion for 18 years and we're going to miss her like mad. The year has nowhere to go but up from here.

We were gerrymandered out of 45 (right down the middle of our street). While I'm grateful not to be in his ward anymore, every time I see anything about or from him, it still frosts my ass that he somehow got another term.

But we had a nice thing going.
