I feel like most of the Disney moms I know are full-on resistlibs (alt national park reposts for days), and theyโ€™re all posting cancellation screenshots. Whoops.

A classic Bloom Country comic strip where Surgeon General C. Everett. Koop is ironically crushed by a massive block of tofu (and accompanying bean sprouts).

Same thought. Tried messing with them for interview footage, but there's a reason every youtuber just uses hard cuts instead of morph cuts - it's uncomfortable to watch in a way that's hard to put a finger on.

I did make a whole music video using it, though!

Not to be all Ruthkanda but my wife and I were talking about this whole thing and my kid chimed in with "they should make a rechargeable battery for the sun like when I have to charge up my remote control car" and I didn't have the heart to tell her she was smarter than the entire Republican party

One of Britainโ€™s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going โ€œall floppyโ€ when they get arrested.

Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a โ€œflipping nuisanceโ€ as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.

House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: โ€œWe have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. Itโ€™s a complete waste of officersโ€™ time, and a complete pain in the neck.โ€

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: โ€œThe problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. Weโ€™re not making them go floppy. Theyโ€™re just sort of being a nuisance.โ€

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Didactic tweets that instruct people on how people should write academic prose ought to be written thoughtfully, I'd think. Also, in her own words:

By her advice, shouldn't the sentence have ended like this-ish?
"...but allow me to illustrate with an example from something I wrote."
