The tax is on residents. Thiel is the cited as moving his home, but others are cited as buying property elsewhere. That's nothing to them, and it isn't moving residency, so the headline may be misleading. The rich always threaten to leave via the media they own, but never do. Call their bluff.

A Very Good Nap, a business that specializes in paying me a living wage to nap.

truth coming out of her cup noodles to shame mankind

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

For a moment, my sleep-deprived brain thought the headline was about him being hit by a brutal fox. It was a good moment.

Why are you trans? (wrong answers only) I was bitten by a radioactive railway system.

The least valuable cargo under capitalism.

Is it just me, or does the Palan-Gender Queer logo look like a writhing mass of tentacles failing at pretending to be a tree? They actually went full gibbering Lovecraft in their fear of trans and nonbinary people.

Would you like some cheese?

And even if the woman wasn't large, the "ally" would have subconsciously inserted another term to keep us monsterfied. Can't wait for the woman so normatively perfect they have to rely on vague Lovecraftian rambles about what she's not to get the eldritch horror of her existence across.

*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. - Mark 1:1

Playing Thousand Year Old Vampire, and loving that this exchange is a central game mechanic.

Melville, on the experience of fostering a kitten.

Me, at the new HUAC hearings

Melville, post situationship.

This is what happens when you use chemical fillers to replace natural frog DNA in dinosaurs.

Anarchism’s principal target is the authoritarian State (capitalist or socialist); its principal moral-practical theme is cooperation (solidarity, mutual aid).

The Tyranny of the Sun prophecy is more trouble than it's worth.

In both Life is Strange and Reunion, Max doesn't recognize Chloe when she first gets a glimpse at her. Both times, Chloe dies. Both times, Chloe's death compels Max to use her powers to save Chloe without knowing it's her. Chloe is a reverse fridge (this is good, just as fridging is bad).

Melville, after accidentally cutting the anchor rope on his DIY hot air balloon.

An infinite number of tiktoks on avoidance attachment, but none on how Peter Parker is the archetypal fearful avoidant in every iteration. And on how when he finally securely attaches, he gets rebooted.

I've got a joke about Zeus creating people, but everyone's split on it.

I've got a joke about Theseus, but honestly, it's bull.

Just realized the worst presidents all have names ending in -onald.

So Nvidia spent all the money in the US economy to make a *checks notes* instagram filter for games?

Same vibe

The slowly dawning realization that I would not be struck down for missing mass.

The news: Punch the monkey is finally integrating with others, showcasing strength and resilience. Me: Oh, that kid is gonna have an epic burnout.

You might say we have trans-election appeal.

My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.

I was dying of thirst when you gave me water, yet it was not the water alone that saved me. It was the strength of the hands that gave it.

This is misleading. "Invalid" is a distinct legal term from "suspended" or "revoked" in the context of driver's licenses. The law only makes the license "invalid", not "suspended". You can typically get a license in a new state if your current license is invalid, but not suspended or revoked.

Melville, describing what became an inspiration for the Faceless Men.

Building a literal Skynet in the dumbest way possible.

Alien: So that's why we banned time travel, no one can handle that much power. But, lemme guess, you humans think you're *different* because your motives are pure, or some nonsense like putting right what once went wrong. Me: (jabbing estradiol syringe into my leg) Uh-huh, something like that.

Melville, before learning about exoskeletons.

It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.
