In case people were unaware, this references a real event where a man posted an ad for a man willing to be killed and eaten.

We missed you Stamets ❤️

I thought futurama fought it by pushing the earth into a more distant orbit by means of robot ass blasting

What about the kids who wouldn’t die under kamala but now will? You say less genocide is the same, but even if it’s 10% less, I bet those 10% of kids would want kamala.

In a sort of actual parallel to this, Richard Adams claimed there was no political allegory in Watership Down, and just a story he told to his daughters.

One of the best cases for death of the author I’ve ever seen (with Bradbury’s comments about Fahrenheit 451 being a close second).

Should be able to search through pretty much everything here, with key words as filters.

On a semi-related note, a friend of a friend got to know a Japanese woman through a mutual friend group, and apparently after finding out that he had some decent culinary skills she texted him “I want to taste your cook”.

Texas is no punishment for (wealthy, connected) guys like him. But I’m ok with it if we put him on house arrest so he can’t fly to cancun the next time people are freezing to death in his state.

And women, and poor people, and journalists

Can you imagine if a 12 year old saved democracy with werewolf art?

Billionaires always want more, and Elon will never have a true friend or experience real love. His current stage of trying to get something real is to make stupid jokes and put on a cool guy persona. Go watch the interview where he told his advertisers to fuck off. He immediately scans the crowd to see how his “too cool for you” declaration landed.

He’s just a sad sack piece of shit but unfortunately because we still haven’t made being a billionaire illegal we all have to put up with his influence over certain aspects of the world.

Are we allowed to deport Rafael back to Cananda if he loses?

Unfortunately it doesn’t matter. With that kind of wealth he could (and largely has) fuck up literally everything he touches and he’ll never not have billions. The most effect he’ll experience is not being the richest on the planet.

Plus the system is rigged to count rural (and thus usually more conservative) votes more, so sane people have to turn out in greater numbers to keep sociopaths out of the white house

Without the goofy stuff I think Cody would end up ranting like Lewis Black

Pretty sure that’s the only reason he left. He would’ve been literally dragged out of there, and facing up to a hard reality of an embarrassing moment for him was the only thing that registered in his pea brain so he had to avoid it.

the preponderance of phoney Trump depictions — Trump as Rocky Balboa, Trump riding a dinosaur, Trump as an NFL player. Nobody has ever done that with Barack Obama. They love Obama just as he is. Trump supporters meanwhile must create bullshit versions of their cartoon messiah.

Everything about him is a lie, down to his very existence. Really drives home the point that thin air would be a better president (or perhaps Clint Eastwood’s empty chair).

Also, kudos on describing the recent orange makeup as giving the appearance of surviving a “booby-trapped papaya”. Great article.

My last run I did with a shaman and put everything I could into lightning damage. It needed a 2 handed weapon so I basically just wandered up to bosses and thumped on them until they died in showers of sparks, while the AoE from the lightning arcs killed everything else around me. Plus I had a summon or two to redirect some enemy attention.

Whether there’s an s after the apostrophe depends on style guide. Most do recommend using the s, though.

I thought IQ testing itself was scientifically dubious
