it's been a long time since I lived south of the Mason-Dixon line and parents kept their kids from me and my sibling because they thought that the parent who took us swimming at the Y was Jewish, so I don't mean to be naive ...

but seriously, do people in Alabama really believe this kind of thing?

Using this logic, schools can't bar students from using racial slurs.

Also, the "solution" to this is for any student misgendered to punch the offender and start a fight, proving the use of slurs causes a substantial disruption.

Finally, Fuck you fascists and keep Tinker out of your mouth.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I'm pretty sure it was this Dick Cheney comic that got me fired from The Washington Post. It was the first time they refused to run one of my weekly comics (after over ten years), and my comic was discontinued soon after.

in ordinary human discourse, there's absolutely nothing wrong with turning around and walking away from someone you don't want to talk to

on social media, you do this with muting, blocking, and block lists, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, either

there is nothing more pathetic and embarrassing than a grown man who cannot situationally control his emotions, and shame on the senators who saw this behavior at his confirmation hearing and voted to consent to his appointment anyway

any number of appearances on THE ELECTRIC COMPANY or SESAME STREET ... off the top of my head, how about Joan Rivers as the narrator and Gene Wilder as the voice of the hero in "The Adventures of Letterman" or the Pointer Sisters singing the "Pinball Number Count" shorts

😁 my spouse and I have been an opposite-team household from time to time, so I might be charitable and suggest he's trying to promote family harmony -- but with his grandmother and father on my money he might have chosen to just wear a sunhat instead, LOL
