I recently realized that I have an unreasoning grudge against a longtime client because they have an ampersand in their name, which has caused issues a few times.

The common use of crime scene tape and imitations thereof in Halloween decor emerged sometime after my childhood, and I do kinda feel like it's a weird addition to the genre.

Are there any studies of SA allegations against candidates or officeholders by party by year (at any level, but national would be ideal) that correlated them to ideological sorting over the past 50ish years?

viral poster for legendary ska band the Historic Pavers
A sign that says, "Caution. Historic Pavers. Please watch your step." There's a stick figure guy tripping over a paving stone that's sticking out of the ground. The joke is that he kind of looks like he's skanking.

Why is the Trump administration trying to romanticize a period of time using false tropes and stories? This is a clear whitewashing of history to promote a revisionist, racist, and mythologized version of the antebellum South. truthout.org/articles/tru...

As a cyclist who is occasionally alone on a long country road, if I see vultures dining, I always compliment their work ethic; if they're circling too directly overhead, though, I take that as criticism of my pace.

So, I'm saddened but not surprised that the US alone voted against the UN adopting an equal area projection as its preferred world map, but annoyed the usual amount that very sexy interrupted projections are never even considered for the job!

I was riding Tracks, and a guy on the sidewalk asked if it folds. I pulled over to demonstrate it, thinking that I wished I'd been on Huffer, with its faster, easier, cooler fold. This was just a dream, but it was rude of my subconscious to call me out on how often I really do this 🤣

As a person who was interviewed by NYT a week before Trump's second inauguration on his threats to independent news, I'm most terrified by my observation that there no longer seems to be a way for the public or rank-and-file journalists to stop or counterbalance the manipulation of public attention

If an undergraduate program's graduates don't earn more than workers who never went to college, that program could be cut off from federal student loans. But is a degree just about making more money?

In a rare confluence of circumstance & opportunity, the window company that's come to my door every few months for years just did so again. When I told the guy that I'd just gone with a different company last week, he asked me why. "Because they don't come knocking on my door every few months."
