Don’t give the rich money. They’ll blow it on cocaine, prostitutes, hush money, religious fascist foundations, and crypto scams.

I think I’ll share this as a rebuttal to any guy who calls unmarried women “miserable cat ladies.”

I think it’s wild that he’s the same man who made Dilbert trans and feminist in his tv show finale and it actually got kind of sincere.

The weird thing is that Kanye’s continual digging through the bedrock has made his art that much more poignant to me. Man went and made himself a Greek tragedy. “Run Away” indeed.

Give her a tour of the most godawful nursing home to show her future when she no longer has “value.”

Seriously, I feel like the owners of those places would feed their clients to the woodchippers if they could get away with it.

it gets me so hard everytime.

Phrasing! Hahaha

Lots of episodes can get a little violent but the first episode is golden for teaching perspective and that the “bad guys/good guys” dichotomy isn’t what it seems, and to be kind to everyone, in a way that is a little easier to digest when they’re little.

Do not underestimate silent film! My kiddo loved them as a toddler. Here are some great starters:

• The Cook (Roscoe Arbuckle)
• Sherlock Jr (Buster Keaton)
• Gold Rush (Charlie Chaplin)
• A Trip to the Moon (Georges Méliès)

Very engaging with way more visual gags than we usually see nowadays, few title cards, and a chance to talk with your kid about what is happening on screen (Ooh no, Charlie is stuck in the lions cage! How is Buster going to get on that runaway train?)

And eventually when they’re a little older, getting your kid to sit down with you to watch Scorsese’s Hugo (2011). It is an absolutely magical loveletter to early film, particularly Méliès’ A Trip to the Moon.

They spend TT planning their honeymoon, and then spend so long on it that it asks until after Aragorn and the hobbits’ kids die of old age

Literally verbatim what an officer said when we couldn’t get a hold of animal control and he got sent over instead…

I love that Daggerfall is one big quest to be to go-for to secure power for the ultrawealthy but you can easily go “nah,” or even play them off eachother.

To me this says less “Leftist” and more “rich urban planners cutting corners for lower-class housing which will end in a horrific fire or collapse.”

I really need an SNL sketch with Jeffrey Epstein as Jacob Marley, but with bedsheets instead of chains

I was a dumbass and downloaded a shit ton of viruses. I couldn’t afford to get a tech to fix my mistakes and XP didn’t have a bootable recovery menu. I followed a tutorial on how to make an Ubuntu image flash drive, and the rest is history.

I was bad at computers and priced out of being a dumbass. I’m a sysadmin now 🙃

Shaquille O’Neil ruined basketball with his physical advantage

My rep has a 1 star review on Google, if that’s any indication

Windows Sysadmin. My job is to enjoy the eternal arms race against Cortana every update via GPO and registry hacks. We are running on malware, it’s a joke.

And before you ask, I am a peon and “Have we considered Linux?” was an office meme years before I arrived.

Like electricity and central heating, they hadn’t made that discovery yet

A lot of scholars point out that homosexuality wasn’t really a concept in the ancient world. Neither was marriage for love or anything other than a means to perpetuate genes and familial property. But what was very much a concept was machismo. Being a “bottom” (in different terms back then) was considered degrading and “womanly,” and that was typically the issue at hand, according to many scholars, such as DanMcClellan, Robert Alter, and Jerome Walsh.

Try Psalm 137 on for size. 8 O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, Blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us! 9 Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rocks!

Hosea 1 is wild: 8 “And when [Gomer the harlot] weaned No Mercy (And I thought Tragedeigh was a bad name for a girl!), she conceived and bore a son. 9 And the Lord said,” Call his name Not my People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.

Also if fundies claim that the husband leads the wife like God leads the church, Hosea 2 gives a good idea of what “Godly husbandmanship” looks like.

And of course, Leviticus is full of all kinds of “fun” things to have as soundbites, like humiliation rituals for menstruation or” suspected" infidelity, when a rapist can marry his victim, and how badly you can beat a slave before you get into trouble for it.
