A truly piquant combination of physical discomfort, emotional distress, and anger at Some Guy Who Fucked Up.

Minimally if the sun is up there should be no question that the restroom in a public park is available for use. Looking directly at you, PROVO.

I’ve started carrying a debit card for the inevitable quarterly duck into an open cafe or gas station. Does this involve more or less throwing the card at some poor guy while promising to come out and buy something in a minute? Well, maybe.

Instead, the only reward one typically gets for being known as a good peer reviewer is...more peer reviews on the desk.

No prob! I remember Oreos being the dirt on a Big Machines cake when our kid was a toddler, too.

My wife decorates cakes as a side hustle and says Oreos or fondant. The former if you’ll sacrifice some neatness in the pictures for it to taste good; the latter if you really want a couple nice pics before you peel it off and cut the cake. Both valid goals IMO

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

This is a sick, malicious lie from Trump. He claims the dead woman "willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer...based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive."

I've posted three screenshots from his clip. It demonstrates nothing close to what he claims.

The Melian Dialogue has a similar role to the Clausewitz quote about “politics by other means” - it exists to give a bit of frisson and even sexual pleasure to morons who have never read those quotes in context but who are still desperate to sound smart.
prchovanec.bsky.social Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec.bsky.social · 4d
People who fancy quoting the Melian Dialogue ("the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must") ignore the fact that Thucydides was clearly portraying this as the kind of hubris that squandered Athens' primacy and paved the way for a devastating peer war that it ultimately lost.

Do you have a historical figure you most wish got to be a poster? I feel like you must have a better answer than mine, which is Churchill. The guy started autobiography when he was 19 I think. And just never stopped. True poster.
