I should ask my mother, who moved from the U.K. to the U.S. to get away from her mother, what she thinks about this new thing the kids today are doing. The difference between now and then is that long distance calls are cheap so parents know they've been cut off.

I'm curious whether Berlin also has the variety of other special district police departments that most US cities have, including transit police, housing police, park police, and school police. laist.com/news/crimina... says there are over 70 police departments operating in LA county.

You're telling me a guy enjoyed being named "Timmy Teepell" so much that he named his son "Tommy Teepell"? "Tommy Teepell" sounds like the name Rowling would give a character she wanted her readers to know was stupid without having to actually, you know, do any writing.

Not saying it's bad or that he shouldn't have said it - just that you can read 4 skeets in the time it takes to read this and at least three of them will probably be more interesting than this. He needs to say it - you don't need to read it.

I finally realized that people talk about "the big tent" two different ways, the same way they talk about "respect." Here "we won't treat you like people unless you treat us like superiors" comes out as "we won't give you our votes unless you let us set the agenda."

Sometimes you just see something random on the timeline and it makes you happy. Random artist, I don't know who you are, but the fact that you've included both Reynard and Anansi has made me smile for the first time today. I'm not sure I've ever seen those two together before.

In a three way race for the 2028 Democratic nomination between Newsom, Emanuel, and a rabid bat, I think the bat would both have the best policies and be most likable. (Originally typoed that as "most lickable" and ... yeah, actually, that too.)

The reason factory and manufacturing jobs are glorified by Americans is not because of the actual job and work that is done, it is because these jobs were UNION jobs which meant they paid well and had good benefits. Americans do not yearn to work in factories, they yearn to work in Union jobs.

The midterm results we're in for won't be the result of those Trump voters having their come-to-Jesus moment and suddenly manifesting empathy and social responsibility. It'll be because they stayed home on election day, stewing in their resentment, declaring everyone on the ballot an unworthy RINO.

Apologies. The bear in the previous post was bear 910, the runner-up in Fat Bear Week. This is Backpack
A pair of images, the first showing a moderately sized brown bear and the second showing a fucking tank covered in brown fur. Both pictures are labelled "89 Backpack" and they show the impressive weight gain that a grizzly bear puts on before winter starts.

This is Backpack, the winner of 2026 Fat Bear week. Like most women, I would rather spend an evening with him than with a Cornell frat boy.
A mostly round shaped brown bear roughly the size of a Humvee. His head looks tiny in relation to his massive body, but I wouldn't laugh at him if I were you.

You know, researchers since the 1980s have found that men can tell when they don’t have consent. They just choose to continue anyway because they prioritize consent as less important than power, domination, and sexual gratification.
