If you have access to Twitter, you can see a perfect video clip of how this self-injury occurred. McCarthy is a very tall man with a shaved head and no hat. It's the last half-dozen seconds of Ali's video: twitter.com/MerruX/statu...

It's comforting to know that whenever I want to talk to someone, I can sit alone and stare silently at the blue jay nest in my yard.

The adult authors who take potshots at young adult authors are looking down at authors who are visiting schools and working with kids and promoting literacy. That work is essential and good, actually. Don't be twats.

Sometimes I forget how depressing life can be. Not very often, though

Just a couple of good guys.

Everyone who’s complaining that the bloodbath comment was taken out of context can fuck right off. Tough shit. Opponents are making a big fuss over something that’s being willfully twisted and you think it’s unfair? Boo fucking hoo. It must suck to have someone copy your signature move.

In a drastic attempt to protect their beachfront homes, residents in Salisbury, Massachusetts, invested $500,000 in a sand dune to defend against encroaching tides. After being completed last week, the barrier made from 14,000 tons of sand lasted just 72 hours before it was completely washed away

Conservatives have long hosted two approaches to sexuality in their coalition: Heritage, evangelical-style sexual Puritanism, and Trumpish, “barstool”-style boorish sexual entitlement. Some people think these are hard to reconcile, but the central aim of both is the domination and control of women.

When they’re right, they’re right, I completely agree that conservatives should make “ending recreational sex” their central issue

This is one of the primary goals of "AI" these days: to create an empty chair that takes the blame for corporate misconduct. We didn't discriminate, the AI told us who to hire. We didn't wrongfully reject the health insurance claim, the AI told us to. And on and on.

Love this story: Air Canada's chatbot gives false advice on booking a bereavement ticket, guy gets screwed, then Air Canada then argues its chatbot is a SEPARATE LEGAL ENTITY FROM THEM THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS OWN ACTIONS. lol wut anyway they lost the case hardcore www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"An armed society is a polite society" I scream as dozens of people around me simultaneously draw their implements of death and fire indiscriminately into the crowd because they all thought someone called them an assclown.

so if this reporting is accurate, this was just a thing that happens when people are walking around armed. Wonder if you could, like, draw any conclusions from that.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%. George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%. These numbers tell the whole story.
