It is *fucking insane* and a damning indictment of humans as a whole that even the people who design these systems to mirror what’s given to them cannot see it when it happens to them.

It's easy to think of Italy as nothing more than spaghetti, garlic bread, and parmesan cheese. But a quick look at their history reveals they invented fascism

russians kill children, women and men, the young and those whose hair has turned silver. russians destroy homes where someone had breakfast yesterday. They burn warehouses full of books. putin is evil. But this evil has hands that kill, destroy and burn.

No he isn’t. The book is very clear on this.
Screenshot of an advert for a deluxe edition of Dracula on Kickstarter. It shows the book, a yellow hardback with red embossed text, as has the text “DRACULA IS LIVE” imposed on it.

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.

I missed out on the Spectrum game but I have all the episodes on DVD. I didn’t fully catch up with Trap Door until I was in my 20s. That episode with the invisible creature that Berk douses with yellow paint, inflates, and then lets whizz around like a balloon? Nearly killed me.

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

Well that explains why I remember it too. Chris Tarrant was a no-no, but apparently flightless birds with violent tendencies were acceptable entertainers in my household. (I did enjoy Emu. Even had one of my own.)

It’s brilliant the PM has recognised the issues Lib Dems have campaigned on for so long are central to fixing our country & growing our economy. As a result of his speech, social care, closer ties with EU and PR are now firmly in the political mainstream, which is exactly where we want them to be.

People who become more conservative as they get older should be ashamed. If life experience hasn't made you more open to change, aware of diversity and supportive of those in need, you have failed at life.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
