Once a nonpromising academic, now author of my own misfortune. I make up silly things and gab about all that pleases me. Too much polisci has been injected into m'head for me to remain wholly content in our wrathful times but I try not t'be a dick. He/him

No day is wasted when you learn something. The Pittsburgh Pirates mascot's wikipedia page has a "Cocaine scandal" section.

The reason Epic gives out free games on Thursdays is because their app breaks after most updates and they know it will be a pain for you to ever access them.

Hint for people looking to make their special lady feel special: walk into the bedroom in the morning after they’ve awoken flapping your arms and announce: “SQWACK! SQWACK! I’m flying in with your bird fact of the morning! Falcons are more related to parrots than hawks or eagles!”

It is the moment when they show Brodie during the PAC tribute video at the end of Dynamite that really cracked me. Almost shouting, I tell the television and empty room "No!" seeing the two of them and then again when the Butcher showed up. It just shouldn't be like this.

Men, cis or not, at what age was the first time you were subjected to violence from someone other than a caregiver? I think probably 4 when a bigger kid would slam my head against the window of the bus for the entirety of the hour long ride for my first year of elementary.

I think my perfect birthday would be me observing through a telescope as masses bring forth cartloads of carefully chosen presents from atop a tall tower. Just a fantasy mixture of attention, adoration, and not having to have anyone see or talk to me.

Goddamnit, PAC?!? He was the heel for most of my favourite matches with him (that NXT champ one that Sami won for instance) but he was just so good that I would get captivated by his decisions in the ring. That he seemed so quiet and humble outside of his character made it even more remarkable.

Looking at the upcoming lineup for clubs I used to go to and I feel sad that the music industry is struggling so bad that they have to book all these bands I haven't heard of. It looks like maybe state fairs are booming though because I am seeing more and more bands I love playing them.

You dinnae ever have to give the measliest fuck about an election for which you are not a potential constituent, worker, or volunteer. In fact, nationalising elections creates a more ideologically representative national legislature but less tactically and locally representative one.

I've always thought Canada's international position was vastly underestimated because of how they had fundamental ties to other countries around the globe in a way the US doesn't due to history and demographics. The natural inbetweenness is hard for any other country on earth to match.

If you are putting up a how-to video, quick tip: you are allowed to figure it out before you start hitting record! In fact, I don’t need to watch ten minutes of you fucking up before showing me how to do something! In fact, when you do that, I want to hit you with a bell hammer!

There is an inherent entitlement attached to sports betting. You are looking at people exerting themselves to the peak of their athletic abilities and telling yourself, “You know who deserves to make money from this exhibition I am witnessing? Me. At least the chance for it. Only fair really.”
