i think someone told me they did an oral history of the shoot or tracked the models down or something and they were all content if a little confused that they’d become a Thing?

unless that was some other meme?

“does that post make any sense?”

- no, it opens/closes two different comedic threads that connect just enough that it becomes an optical illusion of sense, it’s the penrose steps of sense, & you might rotate it in your mind trying to solve it for so long you get lost.

“is it a good post?”

- yes

“what, you’re telling me i can dodge discourse?”

“no, ripp. i’m trying to tell you that when the time comes, you won’t have to.”

the dirty blonde girl is in the middle. why is she dressed like 2007 transsexual marty mcfly? she doesn't look happy but is also being held in a jesus christ pose. and maybe dissociating?

like, I don't really care about shoplifting (theft has v little impact on retail profits and is miniscule compared to other inefficiencies), but human interaction is so important and automating it away makes all our lives worse

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

we’re onto the third box of fall harvest tea & tonight it’s chocolate chip cookies. it’s week 6 & i’ve formed allegiances: i’m team lanky ginger with the nose or maybe aaron.

i yell, “you fool, there’s no time for full puff pastry—in 13 years it’s never worked!”

i deserve to be on that watchlist.

as a member of the radical transgender terrorist movement, i will now close my september weekend by drinking trader joe’s fall harvest tea & eating a tiny pumpkin pie with my wife as we watch the great british bake off. you know, just like [checks gop talking points] al qaeda. worse than, really.

genuinely fun song on a fun album. i wholeheartedly support this.

frequently. one of my favorite childhood snacks was a bag of croutons dipped in blue cheese dressing and it turns out i was making the healthy choice only
insofar as my other option was dipping lead paint chips in lard.

portland continues to serve up a protest that confuses the feds and totally disrupts the false narrative they're pushing via propaganda channels...

“We’re cold, but not as cold as ICE,” said a sign on one rider’s back.

getting to the “what’s this‽ what’s this‽” and smashing the little heart before reading all the way to the end and going “oh my, i may have made a mistake.”

I love when the thick foggy haze of having a crush is lifted by one too many events and you can finally see the whole situation clearly, it’s like “woah sorry how long was I out?!”

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.
