Surya Bonaly is a multi Olympian, world medalist, euros champion, and French national champion, and did it all during a time when #figureskating wasn’t exactly the friendliest to its skaters of color.
But sure, let’s reduce her to fake news about her doing a (really awesome) one footed backflip.

The Super Bowl commercials last night were generally terrible ... but I hadn't seen the Billy Bass ad until this morning. This one made me laugh.

Seconding this, *hard*. Income threshold is $60k, I believe. For future ref, IRS has page to look for free online filing sites. Search “IRS free tax filing”
if you meet certain requirements (i believe it's income threshold), you may also get state taxes for free through FreeTaxUSA dot com. we hold hands every year and it's very straightforward and easy. they even tell you what to do if you have a 1099-NEC with income also listed on a MISC or K form!
TAX PSA: are YOU a freelancer who thinks you have no choice but to use Turbotax because you need to fill out a Schedule C form? WRONG ❌
FreeTaxUSA will do that for you! Federal taxes (including complicated forms like Schedule C) is free and state taxes only cost 15.99 !

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Just what is broken in his brain? Because whatever it is was so fundamental & damaging that it snuffed out his humanity.
In this day & age of multiculturalism, what made him such a virulently racist man? What started it?
There is no forgiveness for him by now, but I want to understand *why*

Huh. Stumbled across thread of woman posting vids supposedly of Ukrainian men being kidnapped/“forcibly drafted” for army. Her analysis is U/R is proxy war b/t Western & Russian oligarchs (ok point of debate) & that war should stop (yes) by U not fighting (?!?!). Nothing abt R stopping, mind you.

Hey, #SCP peeps (especially mods &/or admins): back when I was still on the site, I wrote a Project Crossover Tale with Welcome to Night Vale called “And Now The We[EXPUNGED]” that appears to have been deleted. What happened?

Pick 1, 2, or 3. The more you pick, the weaker they are individually, though they can synergize. There’s a hard cap of (current) Superman level.
Based on your choice(s), you get a primary, secondary, & tertiary power. What do you pick/get?

With regards to the accolades given to @qntm.org ‘s book “There Is No Antimemetics Division” (which *richly* deserves them), I find it highly amusing how so many of the reviewers have obviously never HEARD of, much less READ, any #SCPFoundation stuff. He’s one of the best writers on the site, but…

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.
However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.
I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.

The guys & I just started #Pluribus thru ep 3 & jfc it’s terrifying. Like, I get that it’s kinda a dark comedy/horror-comedy, but oh my god. If I was in Carol’s place, once I realized I couldn’t bring my loved ones back? (No spoilers, plz) I’d probably off myself in short order.

Someone elsewhere brought up the true crimes that #GBBO has perpetrated w/ various “international weeks” & I just realized. They REALLY dislike messy. Like, a lot. And some foods are just supposed to be messy. Hard shell tacos? Messy. S’mores? Messy.

Just a reminder that #pitties are so gentle, loving, & good w/ kids that they were used as “nanny dogs” in early 1900s. Almost all horror stories about “vicious pitts” involve dogs that were abused &/or trained for dog fighting.
Treat your #pittie w/ love & it will repay in kind.

If you use a hashtag in your post, remember to capitalize the individual words so text-to-speech programs don’t hideously fuck it up as supposedly one word. Literally takes no extra time & makes things so much easier for vision impaired folks.

It’s currently 70 degrees outside. Fuck.
I live on the East Coast of USA. You know what’s nice? Not having temps in the low 70s at the end of Dec/start of Jan. I’m not even a fan of winter & Jesus fucking Christ give me 12” of snow! Winter should not be warm enough to comfortably walk around outside in shorts!
