When we said "it's a fucking genocide in Gaza", they might have misunderstood which word was meant to be emphasized.

Relevant comic?

I would be down for a national anthem that sounded like a movie trailer. Opens with BWAAAAHMMMMM. Then another. Then narrator in a grisled and wise voice starts in, "We're not a good country. We've done horrible things." BWAAAAAHMMMMMM!

Agree, but the point of these "jokes" isn't to be funny. The first objective is to offend and cause harm. The second is to phrase the offense in such a way that the offender has the option to say, "it was just a joke" when confronted by the offended. The guy has far more interest in causing harm to people than making them laugh.

Sounds like it may have been Gene Parmesan

I thought I was just misunderstanding what was happening in that last episode of

spoilerMrs. Davis

I'm a little more disturbed to see there was science and process to support the idea.

Have kids. I absolutely adore my kids and have no regrets, but also recognize that I'm in a relatively stable situation where having kids doesn't create other unmanageable challenges for me and my wife. We carefully considered our capacity to have and raise kids. They were not all comfortable conversations. I am glad to have waited to have kids until I was in a good and stable place, and also can no longer imagine what it would have been like to not have these absolutely wonderful little monsters both spoiling and making every moment more magnificent.

Perhaps the message should have been that Snoop was never really in "our" corner. His interests have probably not been in looking out for other people, and so maybe we shouldn't be surprised that he makes a decision that benefits him while (what most expect) harms most of the rest of us.

Maybe the take away is that we shouldn't assume that any celebrities, even if they have voiced support for marginalized people in the past, will take action that isn't in their self interest. I won't echo the sentiment that there is "nothing wrong" with this, but expecting people to act against their self interest may be a bit like trying to shame Sam Jackson's character from Django Unchained.

I recognize it was sarcasm, but in case you have any people in your life that argue that this cold snap disproves climate change, NOAA made this nice graphic to show what's causing the unusual cold.

I agree, not just because I enjoyed the show, but it seemed like it was a fantastic opportunity for many of the people that worked on it. Gaiman's shit behavior shouldn't spoil the hard work of the hundreds of people involved in the show.

Chameleon, Invisibility, Shape Shifter.

Guys, I don't know what I am and I'm scared

Hm. Went with cutting Washington and Oregon in half rather than full take. Pretty bold, but makes some sense.

 

Sorting through my saved photos folder, I found this oldie. Not my OC, but it seemed like something this community would appreciate.
