It actually makes a tentative stab at dispelling myths. It points out at least 90% of child molesters are straight, and ridicules the idea of gay contagion

It still makes a strong nod at preferring a more limited "no promo homo" policy, though.

To my surprise, airfares are not up even in nominal terms, though that may have come at the expense of quality

for what it’s worth, i have spent significantly more time in airports than the average american this year and this is just obviously nonsense

Oh whatta world (the tag is objectively justified)

It may be all very well in practice but it would never work in theory.

Meanwhile on the other end of the strange-idea spectrum this developer keeps trying to correct people on this point

I don't think the slightly larger icon befits a fire 70 times bigger (fire.ca.gov map)

Note this was not about vaccines but about a specific nuclear plant

What knots the industry ties itself into in this, our intermediate pre-national-legalization period! Pabst Labs, behind this product, is careful to remind us "Pabst Brewing Company does not manufacture, cultivate, distribute or sell any cannabis products."

Literally the founders of Emeryville

Hm yes

And it's now yanked. I know this 404 text is intended as a joke but the message still feels like "we will never be wrong"

The Jacobin article, still up, doesn't say Chomsky is dead, although it heavily so implies at multiple points, but check out the URL bar remnant lmao

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

For all of Chomsky's very bad opinions on other stuff which are much more serious than this, I'll also note that he gave his full support to the jackass who sued me for pointing out he hadn't invented email, with Chomsky, jumping in and claiming (falsely) that the guy really had invented email.

The latter of which is now pulled but I got a screenshot for posterity

Alberta closes last coal plant. Greatest climate action achievement by any sibling of any alt-weekly comics artist in history

Oh, no. Jean-Luc. Say it isn't so

Wouldja look at that

imagine a written version of dirty jobs that wasn’t rooted in a snide resentment of “elites”

Not March 2020. Not April. Specifically May 2020 is the start, June the local peak. Pandemic, man. What happened?

"infectious" vs "acute/deadly"

Kathy Hochul:

Man, we were really messy in the 19C. The Constitution expressly said the federal government could (should) establish uniform laws on bankruptcies!

Re nostalgia, a comment I saved from the old blog days.

What is Google Translate doing (I cannot find even a more obscure definition of "garnishee" resembling this)

Did this weird (or at best way too obscure) translation choice lead to this business name?
