The Distracted Boyfriend meme, but their heads are now: Guy - a wide-eyed cat Girlfriend - a cat tree Red dress woman - a Christmas tree

It's that time of year

charisma is the one thing all the angry little nerds can’t build and can’t buy no matter how rich they get or how much of society they destroy and I just think that’s beautiful

A cropped screenshot from a Canadian government website with the prompt "What's your occupation?" The answer "Writer" has been provided, generating the red text error response "Please enter a valid occupation."

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

When I was young, I thought that when someone in a TV show or movie asked “Are you wearing a wire?” it meant “an underwire bra”

Whenever they asked women characters I was shocked at how rude and intrusive a question it was, but it did make scenes where they asked men that much more interesting

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

Free speech is more than me being allowed to say what I want. Everyone also has to like it and tell me I'm a smart and handsome boy

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

last night at a bar I learned that they improved pinball by making machines that are entirely computers and they’re much better than what we had before

i used to think the lyric was ‘i wanna rock and roll all night / and part of every day’ and i remember thinking, honestly that sounds reasonable

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

I’m at the annual paleontology conference. Here’s how people today have described their work:

“I basically study swamp monsters”

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening

We are really ruled by the dumbest people in existence.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

The ruling class is dumb and we let them take everything we make and live lives of disgusting opulence and cruelty

We need socialism immediately

Trump only spent all that time with Epstein because he was trying to convince him to stop doing all that pedophile stuff. Because he’s a good friend. It took a lot of long visits because of how committed Epstein was to the pedophile lifestyle. Not the smoking gun you were hoping for, eh, Dems?

we don’t transform our most feared predators into loving pets through generations of careful selection anymore. we have had hundreds of years to make a bear that can live in your house and we just….didn’t

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

good news, my therapist said I'm cured and to never contact her again

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

An index card with handwriting in blue ink that says, "'I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller.'" Below is the source, "The Private Papers of a Bankrupt Bookseller" by Will J. Darling (Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd, 1932).

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.

He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

"I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller."
