When I was first looking to plant some sunflowers, I was surprised to discover how many varieties are bred to not produce pollen. Bees can still get some nectar, but the nutritional quality is much lower for them. I read the catalog descriptions much more carefully after that!

I can’t believe that racist post by The Onion is still up. If they didn’t have sense enough to avoid posting it in the first place, they should at least have the decency to take it down now. @bencollins.bsky.social

Jesus Crust!

Rightwingers are always telling us how living organisms can all be classified into rigid morphologically obvious categories and I just

BIG RED TRUCK

I don't doubt the cat thinks so

Objection: Results in cat hair in burrito and also having to share burrito with cat

Science lurches, I mean latches, on

Nah, that hurts my soft and pasty hands to deliver. I'll use this here supersoaker filled with liquid soap

Ach. 😑

Yes, I've met folks like that as well; I think an excessive (for some values thereof) open-mindedness is actually an attempt to avoid conflict.

Ironically, one of the standard accusations RWs level is that liberals "don't want to listen to alternative views." 🤷‍♀️

My personal take is that the phrase actually translates to "A liberal is someone who can't be relied on to take the side that I have unilaterally assigned to them." This works for both RW and leftist complainers.

"No, but I'll have the raw nettles if you've got them"

Perhaps you could first define what YOU consider to be "culture." Otherwise, there's no point in chasing your goalposts through the maze

Throwing gravel and wild-harvested rebar into the blender as we speak

I can't locate this photo online, so a description will have to do.

An actress, nude, visibly female, but exhibiting "male" body language and hairstyle. Despite the "female" body, you understand you are looking at a man. (I don't know whether the actress was cis or trans.)

A man and birb after my own heart. May they thrive and prosper.

Also, we tend not to instantly assume that the enemy of our enemy is our friend. Also, also, we are willing to see that there may be more than two actors in a situation. And on the third hand, we're willing to confront situations where there is simply no good option. Context & complexity 'r' us.

I had them blocked. The account is also muted by the "following over 10K" list. I did report a bunch of the robo-answers before re-blocking.

SHIPPER: We delivered your package! Here's a photo of where we put it! <photo only shows driver's feet>

(The actual package did show up a couple of hours later. I suspect the driver had been having one of Those Days.)

The people are The Onion are flat-out fucking racists. Yes, this includes Ben Collins and anyone who is dating him.

This is...absolutely grotesque. The Onion gang are high on their own racist supply.

I AM CORG, THIS CHEW WILL BE ASSIMILATED

Needs a few floating beans. Bonus: If someone annoys you, you can use the straw to fire the beans at the culprit

Being white, I'm oriented to Bland Neutral, but that is the most non-color color I have ever seen.

And here I was hoping we might at long last emerge from the era where everything in decor is some variation of grey, grey, or grey

I should have been more careful what I asked for ☠️

And so the "movement," especially in the US, is just in group signaling. And if the "movement" isn't going to reward politicians who end wars, what, exactly, is the incentive structure you are building?

-That Lyndon LaRouche still has followers
-That Bob Avakian exists
-That Ted Kacynski wrote his manifestos
-That Portland anarchists bashed up the Dem Party office in '21 & '23
-That Donald Trump was once registered Dem
-That I lost my bus ticket

ALL THE FAULT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ALL

New cars crumple up and look worse than most wrecked old cars.

This is substantially preferable because in the latter case those forces aren’t dissipated through the car’s frame, it’s dissipated through *you*.

Old solid body trucks, man. A bad wreck in those basically liquifies your insides.

Beginning to think that anybody who admits to the epithet "political strategist," of any flavor whatsoever, should be instantly consigned to The Pit
