Guys I just learned that James Herriot's real name is James Alfred Wright and he went by Alf Wright. I don't know if the TV program Alf was popular in the UK, but if it was I suspect people were hesitant to call Alf Wright to help their cats.

I liked The Nix a lot, but was the point of that book that capitalist ghouls will use all of us as pawns in their sick game, and even if it helps you it comes from exploitation and hate, but it's all okay because one man learned to be more empathetic toward the woman he likes et al.

If you know how to do both of those things with someone I love that for you.

I love these Grindr profiles that say 'I want someone to find me walking alone at night, take me, use me, ignore my crying, leave me broken and degraded on the street, and not even look back. I also love modern art. Let's go to the museum and see the Claes Oldenburg instillation!'

Every body is beautiful in its own way, but a GOP beach party would not look like the Kens in the photo you have shared.

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

The fatter you are the easier you are to hug. Have you ever tried to hug a thin person? Your arms take forever to hit torso.

What idiot decided to call it 'using alcohol to escape your problems' and not 'rum and hide.'

The kids are making fun of Bob! They are bullying him! They are saying 'Ha! Ha! Bob is dumb and fat and gay!' What should Bob do?

What does it cost to fly from Denver to SFO? I've never done that one.

I'm looking for a gang to join on OG Cupid.

What's up with him moving there? He's been kind of silent on that recently.

I posted that to facebook in 2017, and it's just as true now. I know they did a Superman reboot last summer. I haven't seen it yet, but I heard it tried really hard to be apolitical.

Y'know, the current political climate would be perfect for a Superman reboot. Superman's Achilles heel (other than kryptonite) is doing the right thing even when it's inconvenient or puts himself in jeopardy, and his archenemy is the president. Think about it.

I feel like there should be an app that points you the nearest dentist that takes your insurance and has availability for today. DentalApp. Please support my kickstarter.

I'm just reflecting on this because today's Metazooa was yak. If you play the game I just spoiled it for you. Sorry, but also I'm pretty sure nobody will ever read this.

I grew up on a cattle ranch and my parents were cattle farmers. Beef was what's for dinner in my household growing up. If it was dog meat or something, I think I'd understand, but the difference between yak meat and beef is relatively moot.

But also, yak are the same genus as domestic cattle. They can even crossbreed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzo

I think we could have a conversation about how my father feels like he can tell his (then) thirtysomething son what he can and can not eat. That's one path we could go down based on this incident.

Once I was at a restaurant in Beijing with my parents and my father told me I wasn't allowed to order the dish with yak meat. I think he was just put off by the idea of someone eating yak meat.

Well you can't expect AFAB people to be able to compete with AMAB people at tennis and win. I mean, imagine if you put Billie Jean King in a tennis match with.... Oh...

You like this thing so you aren't allowed to like this other thing. You have to pick one. You can't drink Coke AND Pepsi. I only like one thing and I'm the main character so everyone else likes one thing.

Assuming a man is not attracted to cis women because he is attracted to trans women is officially known as biphobia lite™. To be clear, trans women are women. It's only called biphobia lite™ because it stems from the same worldview toward sexuality.

If you told me he makes Melania wear a Donald Trump mask while he has sex with her I would believe you.

My parents didn't grow up with shops where you could rent video tapes. My kids won't grow up with shops where you can rent video tapes. It was such a short lived thing and it permeated every facet of our culture.
