Fun fact: The one! simple! trick! that DOES demonstrably stem the inward flow of contraband--banning cargo pants for COs--pretty much never happens.

Thirteen years ago that I discovered 1) the King of Siam offered Abraham Lincoln war elephants, and 2) he refused. Consider, instead: what if he had not blogtarkin.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/d...

went to the austin kinokuniya and the store manager sure is Going Through Some Shit. also man bro should not be running a bookstore bro should become an artist

*rubs my nose* okay, let’s try to explain this one more time. Think of your book like a food item, and AI like nuts. « Nuts free » would be you being 100% sure no AI even looked in the direction of your manuscript 🧵

80% of lesbian arguments start because someone hasn't eaten yet

ADHD is when you have to “pay attention” but you can’t “pay,” because you’re broke. But, on the plus side, you have a million dollars in gift cards to the one thing you feel like doing.

Mass Effect style dialogue wheel except the only dialogue options ever offered are "No, yeah, for sure." and "Damn, that's crazy"

Banged out a couple of very rough sketches including crossing guard possum, which did make me laugh out loud

Anyway here is the most successful promo I've ever done for a book. YOU DO NOT NEED AI.

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

I think the thing that pisses me off most about that article by the lady with the insufferable face on why indie publishers/authors MUST use AI for the 'non-creative' tasks is that I'm an author currently in a state of deep depression and overwhelm, and you know what I use instead of AI? COMMUNITY.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

have been following this account since the old days and this is the best one I’ve ever seen. My God. “You’re about to extend your style to your hairstyle” is like a fortune teller roasting his client

What I am getting at is that as a society we need to demystify breasts, probably the most visible secondary sex characteristic. I really think every adolescent boy and man should know how they look in clothes if they had breasts, and understand bras as clothing rather than mystical feminine objects.

I will say with love that it would be very wise for a whole lot of us to take a breath and think twice about playing Document Dump Deep Diver on social media. There are folks who actually have experience parsing this stuff and doing Lib QAnon is not a good look.

On a related note, Harrison Ford is the most influential actor to play against special effects bc he knows what makes audiences believe an effect isn't when an actor is awestruck by a Star Destroyer but when an actor is irritated by a Star Destroyer.

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

I know we've all got bigger fish to fry right now, but I still don't understand why Sanderson gets a pass for tithing to the LDS.

She is survived by [complete listing of Patreon subscribers in tiny font]

The headline feels like they think she should have taken them with her like a pharaoh…

Merry Christmas! I got you Discourse: jude-doyle.ghost.io/rea/

Guess what! Ducky friend once again asked me to draw Ahiru, a Christmas Ahiru! I made a lot of Princess Tutu art this year... Yeah, it was definitely a good year! I hope you all have a great holiday season!

You're a mean one 🎶 Mr. Grinch you are such a heel For real Just a greasy black peel You're a mean one So stay away from Whoville tonight

how will he ever build his portfolio?

All I want for Christmas is for 42 people to watch this youtube video so it can become the first ever video to hit 10k views. If you like it, we just put out a second historical cancellation episode just last week with Eleanor. youtu.be/-fW6er3VdqM

It’s D&D night and the party is trying to use old Boy Scout tricks to plug a magical leak.

Gift shopping for loved ones can be demoralizing because it's oh, you love them? Name literally anything they would like.

this was too funny an idea not to do

I get that we’re gonna get a few cycles of backlash against the criticism of the plagiarists, much of it in good faith, but ‘angry people lack the linguistic specificity to dismantle the intentionally labyrinthian terminology of thieves’ isn’t a particularly interesting take, to me

Why did you transition, wrong answers only I thought it would help me compete in the job market.

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

ah yes a true holiday classic

me all December at the peak of my daily energy

And the campaign to get a trans person banished from their job and education worked

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

THE POINT OF THIS IS THAT MY HUSBAND IS ALSO TRANS WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR TEN YEARS HE IS THE HUSBAND FORMERLY KNOWN AS WIFE
