Donald Trump’s existence is a living testament to the impotence of every shadowy group people projected as some sort of Illuminati.

Getting this from supervisors while the company cheerfully refused to promote any of its house techs for three years running was especially delightful.

I'm bouncing wildly between obsessive news checking, being absolutely furious that this is the moment we've arrived at because too many very powerful people confused Twitter with real life, and trying to bury myself in work.

It is not helping that work involves cleaning up after the Cold War.

So: yes, even if I never technically said anything, all the time.

I suffer from a devastating congenital condition where even if I shut my mouth very firmly subtitles start scrolling down my face.

Out walking either of the Akitas I actually get 3x the attention from men I ever did on my own, but it's all very wholesome and respectful. Sugar Ray in particular is an absolute dude magnet and force field in one wolfy-looking package.

This display would have, in fairness, been a one-stop stock-up for me as a very young adult with little money or cooking skills to speak of. All it's missing is dry pasta to go with the sauce.

BTAS: aimed at 10 year olds like me watching after school

Also BTAS: Immediately establishes a core villain as a terrifyingly arbitrary psychopath who will torture a harmless innocent for *years* because he annoyed him during rush hour.

I've watched episodes of horror shows that weren't as scary.

I know multiple thirteen year old girls who could and would push this kid's shit in if given a plane ticket and lunch money.

Stoat/short-tailed weasel? In winter coat?

I don't agree with them on most issues but it's good that the administration is doing so much to get Kash the enrichment he needs. You can't just throw a kong toy filled with peanut butter in there and expect your FBI Director to be healthy! defector.com/ufc-and-fbi-...

My mother-in-law's once captured two raccoons murdering a third in her fish pond over the course of an hour or so. I had not been expecting a straight up gangland hit to be captured and was at a loss when she emailed it to me with basically "explain this".

Chinatown? The existence of SF's Chinese population that has been there since the nineteenth century having a party is what "radicalized" him?

How has the most interconnected information-rich age in human history resulted in ANYONE this fucking provincial?

I have heard some real, real weird meat-eating myths out of vegans, including this one. It's at least harmless, unlike some of the others.

It is actually complex and layered, which is why it can do that. It has the opposite of something wrong with it.

Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.

Met my current partner when I invited him to my DnD table.

Worked out very, very well.

Large black male Akita panting anxiously in the back of a car.

Black Akita with his head tilted curiously.

One of these Akitas always lies and one always tells the truth.

Pumpkin grin for ear rubs.

Yeah, think he's found his Forever Home. He seems to be just starting to believe his life is going to be more about chilling in a living room than wandering in a desert.

I will forever stand in awe of Mike McMahan for successfully pulling off a message like "Sometimes what's truly worthwhile in life can be really dumb shit".

It IS.

Next time I'm going to point out I have online friendships older than both of them put together.

This is what I do to my partner's kids every time they try to nerd flex on me.

He's not wrong...

Can't tell how hard you're trolling but this is legit more inspiring than any of the HR human-performance trainings I've been in.

This. I saw a lot of people who could have retired years ago or made a LOT more money in the private sector and didn't because they believed they were doing a very important job fired unceremoniously because loldoge federal employees are all worthless sacks of shit.

Yup. This world has its own norms, though. The only time I've ever seen people fired same-day was once for harassing an openly bisexual dude and once for a race-tinged rant at a coworker.

One of the few places I've encountered no-shit country-over-politics patriots.

She went from a pretty normal looking Midwestern lady to one of those Japanese murder ghosts.

This stupid fucking meme has got body shape exactly backwards. Half the fuckin population had just spent the better part of a decade being extra malnourished in the 40s while today even pogs get addicted to lifting and creatine
