Yes, there are a lot of things that contribute to it but part is that about 20 years ago they realized they could over plan flights and the delays would cost them less money than it would be to have less flights

"My newest hobby is finding lines from The Simpsons that could pass for Morrissey song titles." I took this image from somewhere else and can't write all of these out on my phone, so if you're reading this because you need the alt-text, take the opportunity to brainstorm some good ones of your own.

oh my god

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Gary Larson said he had a friend whose father once met a boyfriend of hers, and told him, “You know what your problem is, Edgar? You don’t have a purpose!”

That led him to making this comic.

Thought I’d post this shot of my original shooting script to show the proper spelling of a certain word.

I'd only heard ABOUT the this but hadn't actually seen it. My mistake, it's glorious. Even for the Post. I was expecting them to make you open the paper to go "oh, that's it?!," but nope, it's all there on the front page

I was recently laid off by ARTnews, a few days before the theft at the Louvre. The terms of my TN work visa means I can't freelance unless I donate the funds to charity. I'm open to new FT roles in business reporting and communications, and am willing to relocate to other cities, including Toronto.

Ahh gotcha, thanks! Wendy Carlos I know, but synth history is so twisty, there are still plenty of pioneers I haven't read about, so figured I'd ask for the purposes of finding more cool music history stuff 😉

For the synth one, you talking Vera Lynn? Only asking because if it's someone else, I wanna read about her!

I should correct myself and say this is the Republicans doing this (NSRC). I mean, we all know who the national media are allied with at this point, but still

Mamdani is well dressed, has to be very careful in his approach, and his record is damn near spotless. Platner is a fucking Blackwater merc with an SS tat and everyone from Sanders to Vigeland to fucking Jacobin is tripping over themselves to defend and equivocate. Fucking disgusting.

Oh no I’ve been blocked… by a person who came into my mentions, misunderstood what I posted, proceeded to get mad about it anyway, insulted me, and then couldn’t manage a “whoops my bad” to end the whole discussion.

Jesus Christ, guys. Just say “my bad” when you’ve gotten something wrong.
