The tradition still exists in Cornwall, where it's even more important as the witches sink fishing boats when they're out in their eggshells. A big "no no" not to smash the bottom of your empty egg.

Your charming little potato-dog is the reason this website exists. And perhaps the reason why the internet exists. And maybe the universe too.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Ok so when Microsoft was making the first Xbox I was doing Flash ads for them and they had an 800 page brand standards binder and when I used a green that was, and I quote, 6% off, I got my ass chewed out. Fucking losers now. Have some goddamn self respect.

100%. They're not the superheroes they think they are. They're Smaug the dragon, squatting on their wealth, convinced they deserve every cent of it. Before periodically leaving their cave to burn society down.

Glad you're over here, Tan. Missed your content after ditching the Other Places.

There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details
