We have one of these too. I love him.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

She norf’d him.

I mean, she hit’s on”pathetic,” but then decides it’s not good enough?

We still find stuff! Last summer we hiked up a hillside south of Tatitlek, but on the beach there was a semi-buried bit of visquene!

Wow blocking me without a trigger warning? Mods! Mods!

Excuse me sir, I will not have you talk about Cobie Smulders without getting her name correctly!

The “Area of Interest.”

It actually does! I just looked it up—always thought it was about hair, but it’s an olde englishe word for “long shins.”

So I now wonder if there was a regular height guy who went by “Shanks.”

TW: trigger warnings discussed

I wonder if there was ever a guy with just regular hair who was “Shanks.”

What’s your pirate name? Capt Dolphinbeard?

“Daddy jacked” is a new phrase and I think appropriate for certain bombs.

“National Parks are part of a propaganda campaign” is a thing you said that I disagree with.

That’s a good one, sure, but one better is the vampire cure quest in Morrowind. Part of that is the most soul-crushing bit of lore in any video game ever.

I can not disagree with that more, I’m afraid. The National Parks are one of the truly greatest human inventions, for lack of a better phrase. Denali, Death Valley, Yellowstone, the Olympics, these are monuments of nature, not propaganda.

“New perils for Trump”

The media has utterly lost the fucking plot.

Yes!! TVs are now battlefields!!!!

Damn you sir! How dare you, sir. Have you no sense of honor, sir!

It would have been awkward to have her aboard as the movie leaves out India (???) entirely.

What the fuck man. Posts are now battlefields!

The Rockies lost 10-1 today.

(Those hits would be four monster home runs followed by a line drive that blows my skull into space)

Hell, *I* could five-hit the Rockies. It doesn’t mean Nola is good.

Ok, but like, anyone can five-hit the Rockies.

Goddamnit brian

Dr Schwarbs and the Multiverse

I knooooow it’s an expensive thing, even by space standards. And I knooooow there may be better options, but *damn* that is a beautiful machine.

Do *not* come at me about this with “but USAID” or whatever. Utterly unrelated.

But also yes fully agree, that shit’s gross.
