Got to love realizing that the way you've been stressing yourself out the last few days was entirely unnecessary because the event you thought was happening this week is happening next week

"Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus' son Achilles, murderous, doomed."

It's that time of year again... It wouldn't be Saint Patrick's Day without the Leprechaun Brothers singing Danny Boy 🍀 The Swedish Chef, Animal, and Beaker from the Wally Boag episode of The Muppet Show in 1981

Me and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and who and...

Unfortunately due to circumstances I will be going on all fours and barking and snarling like a dog

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

I feel like the real trolley problem is the fact that many American cities used to have widespread trolley networks and then they were dismantled to build car infrastructure.

I’ve always liked the onion’s eyes in this one

Abolish The Provinces

if elected, I promise to run our government like a business. more specifically, like a lesbian-dominated grocery co-op

You can be completely neutral about mecha and be a trans woman

Friendly reminder for all subs: If you don't run or flee from the vampiress chasing you, you aren't prey coded. You are livestock coded.

Terrible violation of Taylor Swift's privacy, this
