When Trump posted a video of the Obamas as apes the NYT claimed "it was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware" that he posted it

Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Me, also increasingly exasperated: I know what capitalism is too goddammit

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

They didn't watch the cursed tape. They didn't go into the basement. Never touched that Ouija board. They made all the right choices and that leaves them unable to understand the fate of those they were closest to.

Their loved ones disappear in mysterious circumstances. They could find out what happened, but it would involve making the same bad decision. They won't do it. They're not that stupid. (They feel so guilty for thinking their lost loved ones are stupid.) Haunted by other people's bad decisions.

So a couple of months ago, after visiting the Pokemon Fossil exhibit at the Field Museum in Chicago, I realized how badly I missed the Pokémon games. The easiest entry back in was good ol’ Pokémon Go. Since then, my wife & I have enjoyed the routes, the tasks, & even found a PoGo group in Oakland!

After a couple of hard weeks at work (which coincided w/health insurance shift & thus, no meds), things finally started to rebalance this week. I shall celebrate by beginning to post an artistic endeavor I like to call “The Joy of Victory, the Agony of Defeat: A Pokémon Tail”. Here, a sneak peek!
A Meowscarada on its tip toes, eyes closed and with an expression that looks like it just stepped on a Lego after being defeated by my wife and I Fabio Dugtrio, each face with a look of painful chagrin, directly after being distinctly routed by my Mewtwo who Mega evolves to Mewtwo X

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

What does it say that university leadership is protecting an institutional brand over a student's safety? It means students shouldn't go to that school because their safety is not a priority.

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.
