Retroactively justifying the existence of vanity plates.

I remember when I used to be able to find dedicated message boards for bands that I liked. Now I’m lucky if there’s a subreddit where it’s just a bunch of people submitting poorly drawn fan art of the band.

Another day, another moment of being thankful for my dedicated .mp3 player.

This won’t affect me - seeing as I have no use for Instagram - but I do worry that some actual DECENT sites will adopt this in the near future.

The full article is well worth reading. It’s good to find a lucid, logical deconstruction of why, precisely, this will be a complete disaster.

I once had a class where, day one, the professor said something like, “If you don’t want to buy the book, that’s fine with me. I can’t tell you where to find a copy, but maybe one of your classmates can.” Someone raised their hand and started rattling off a few useful websites.

I always assumed that they were impossible to win, and that the coins you saw on the ledges were placed there by the employees.

Further justifying my commitment to avoiding Prime at all costs.

Life is just one long, hard kick in the urethra, and sometimes when you get home from a long day of getting kicked in the urethra, you just want to watch a show about good, likable people who love each other, where, you know, no matter what happens, at the end of 30 minutes, everything’s gonna turn out okay.

Sounds about right, actually.

Long live Garry Chess.

My boomer parents will die on the hill that it sounds “wrong” to use “they” to refer to a singular entity. And whenever they bring that up, I always remind them that the word “they” has been used in that way for AGES.

Example: “Whose umbrella is this? Did they already leave?”

It doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Well, on the bright side, at least he does leave.

Don’t blame it on COVID. Blame it on people being massive idiots.

Good. Fuck Twitter.

GOP voters: “Yoda has a speech impediment; therefore, we must vote for Palpatine.”

Hates People

This is basically “dog bites man” territory at this point.
