Hmm sounds like he gets a paid break every time he needs to pee until they find a solution. I recommend a very long paid break.

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

What specifically does she imagine she's protecting children FROM? And she certainly doesn't seem to care about trans children.

Trump has a cult of personality and 30% of Americans have bought into it and are full of stupid opinions. I'm glad I don't live in America anymore. Yes, there are bigots and stupid people everywhere, but not in a mass-delusion cult like Trump has going.

I moved from the US to Australia and it is crazy how much less my family pays for healthcare than we did in the US. We have private insurance and use private hospitals and still pay thousands less a month. The taxes would cost far less than the difference in heathcare costs.

In my house, if your teenage daughter says she's interested in maybe reading Jane Eyre, you immediately go out and get a copy of Jane Eyre. I had one when I lived in the US, but I couldn't bring all my books with me when I moved to Australia. My library is getting filled again as time goes by.

I ordered an XTEINK 4 ! This thing looks awesome. I hear there's one with a light coming out soon, but I want battery life more than anything in this ereader. I can use my Kobo if I want light. I want something small and lightweight to go out in the world that seldom needs charging. So excited!

As an American who now lives in Australia, I can say, with experience living and working in both countries, that you have no idea how poorly you are treated by your government and workplace.

I just put a bunch of books on hold at the library with the hope they'll trickle in one at a time, and not all come at once.

Kids have discovered blinkies. This is my kids' obsession, for at least today.
Assortment of old blinkies - rectangular blinking boxes that were the bottom of old 1990s web sites saying things like "Sign Up for Hotmail!" and "Have a Smile!"

The German Arch of Triumph was a monument proposed by Albert Speer at the suggestion of Adolf Hitler in the years leading up to World War II. The Arch, one of several proposed monuments to be erected in Berlin following the expected German victory, would have been 400 feet high, more than twice the size of its inspiration, the French Arc de Triomphe.

It isn’t even intended to stop rape. It’s just intended to switch the victim to someone else.

I moved to Australia a little while back and this is true - the first question people ask after finding out you are American is asking who you voted for. It is very easy for me to answer this question and causes me no discomfort at all.

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

Sometimes, the covers people make for ebooks make no sense at all for the book. This is a book about the French Revolution and adventure. What is this photo about?
Cover for Kobo Plus ebook edition The Scarlet Pimpernel by the Baroness Emma Orczy, but it has "The Scarlet Pimpernel" in pink at the top, a strange blue swirl background, and a woman dressed in modern clothes and a modern hairstyle wearing a shirt that is unbuttoned to show cleavage.

I seem to have become a conspiracy theorist, because I think garbage like this is being floated to make us question other things in the Epstein files.

Does a libertarian want the government to force a private corporation to contract only with entertainment artists the government approves of? I would think a libertarian would find *that* threatening.

I imagine once trump is gone and these goons start getting arrested for the assaults and murders they committed as ICE agents they will suddenly remember that being allowed to see your lawyer is actually a very important part of the whole process.
