Let me tell you about my cat...

I mean, I can't be the only one who saw this pattern months ago already.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

Me too.

It’s the 80th Anniversary of VE Day!

Here’s to beating back Fascism (now more than ever, please)!

I'm finding myself much more easily angered. It's... less optimal

I really hope that I got l the asswipe smoking right under the sign "no smoking within 50 ft of entrance" fired. "I'm not moving, I work here". Well, I can help with that....

Oh, good. My egg dealer was mumbling something about chicks still too young to count as child labor

Ah, is that how it's done here?

Frog's? Or someone else's for a change?

I've been a staunch fan of Evernote, but today they said they were doubling thair annual subscription rates so maybe I need to find a new one too
