love living under a hays code/comics code authority except it's in some ways worse, because it's not actually codified anywhere and it's enforced opaquely on purpose to avoid accountability at every stage

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

My mom told her physical therapist she wears a mask because her husband and daughter are immunocompromised. The PT said she is too but isn't worried bc she knows if she dies she is going to heaven. Then her co-worker yelled, โShut up Debbie you wear a seatbelt and take blood pressure medsโ ๐

I don't have children or student loans, and I bought a house with money left to me when my mother died, and I never leave those three things out of the "how did you transition into freelancing full time" conversation because otherwise it is WILDLY disingenuous to talk about how writing pays my bills

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

LPT: How to win as a guest and make new friends at a raging, alcohol fuelled party
Food & Drink
I'm getting older now, and some of my friends' kids have recently started college. I've been reliably told that alcohol-fuelled parties are still happening, and I shared this advice about how to make new friends and be a hero. One of them took my advice, and now has a new girlfriend because of this.
The key to the following advice is an element of secrecy because the surprise makes it even better.
Arrive late and sneak Lasagna into the party. I mean, taking a large, catering-sized tray of lasagna, along with a stack of paper plates and forks, to a raging house party. I used to do this back in college. I'd make one, sometimes two, in the afternoon in big foil trays before goin to a party. Show up around 10.30pm, and slip them into the oven without asking permission telling anyone. Medium heat for 30 minutes to warm it up. Get my paper plates out, and shout: "Lasagna is ready" to a packed house of drunk people, and hand them all a fork. It's cheaper than bringing beer, no clean-up, and I got laid pretty often.
Important note: Make sure the person who owns the oven is the first in the line, and don't make a mess.
Maybe make one meat and one vegan or something... This last point was less of a concern back in my day, but we must move with the times.
tfw youโre fucking the lasagna man for lasagna

Hi, so just to check in on your awareness: since the ceasefire, how many Palestinians do you think Israel has murdered or maimed directly with weapons, indirectly with the effects of the genocide, and how many sovereign nations has it attacked directly outside of Palestine?

We should absolutely see this as a betrayal, and we should vote and act accordingly. @ec.europa.eu has to be held accountable for selling out Europe - and the world at large through it.
