I blame the movie, '300'. And also systemic racism and toxic masculinity.

For those of these folks that at least have some familiarity with history, I wonder what appeals most to them. The rampant Spartan pederasty or the prospect of helots?

This is weaponizing the very decency that made the Minnesota Resistance possible. It’s grotesque.

I think the Irish might have something to say about the origins of their "common culture" with the English, as well.

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm.

Text: Noses are red
Ice packs are blue
I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities:
Love unites us.
Our hearts are with you.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

As a German, I'll never fully understand the Third Reich worship of the American far right.

They do understand that the Third Reich *lost*, right? That the tough, belligerent, ethnically pure master race got thoroughly defeated and its country conquered by a diverse multi-ethnic coalition?

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

I Asked Seal About "Kiss from a Rose"
YouTube video by Rick Beato 2 I Asked Seal About "Kiss from a Rose"

Seal talked about this with Rick Beato, although he doesn't *really* say what the lyric is or what it meant to him when he wrote it. Which, ok, fair. He implicitly acknowledges that interpretation of art, once it's released, doesn't belong exclusively to the artist.

That's part of the idea of scam spam. The theory is that if you aren't clever enough to spot obvious errors, you won't be clever enough to realize you're being swindled.

Less important, but it seems to me the rash of book club scams are likely to make authors less likely to engage with legit book clubs.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

New playbook for Congressional hearings: take a page from @crockett.house.gov. Don’t ask trump administration officials any questions. Just make points for 5 minutes. Republicans will use up all their time letting them answer. Then just yell clapbacks from time to time.

They played at the same time as System of a Down to close out Sick New World a few years ago, which seemed like a dirty move by the organizers to me.

To be fair, juices and rotisserie chickens are still relatively affordable. A home on the other hand?

Man, you had it rough having to punt to that guy at least two games a season. What, one or two Hester-free years with the Vikings?

The Threshold The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...
