Until reading this article, I never knew that Musk even had a brother. Considering the press Musk has gotten, though, that probably suits the brother just fine.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have politicians whose shallowness and hypocrisy aren’t so easily mocked by 10-year-olds?

This woman knows how to write a closing sentence. Damn.

My sympathies to anyone who has to use reddit because their niche community either doesn’t have enough activity or doesn’t exist at all.

I’m more of a casual user who’s just here for the news and memes, so fortunately I don’t have that problem.

Probably the best line I have read in any article this month:

I drove back and forth to a bookstore job in an ancient Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais so apocalyptically derelict that when I got pulled over for a busted taillight, the lady cop fixed me with sad eyes and asked “Is everything OK with you?”

I’m glad that tired, old trick is getting the skepticism it deserves. Even the slowest among us are realizing that if you’re discussing a non-denominational issue and being called “antisemitic” for it, then maybe the accusation is bullshit. Human rights should not be a religious issue.

Here’s the beginning of the Wikipedia article:

Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is a web forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxxing and real-life harassment.

So, it’s an assholefarm.

Although the name originated with one particular site, it looks like the name now applies to any site that serves a similar purpose. Bleah.

Good question. I was only talking about my own personal tastes. I don’t know what would be objectively worthy of defederation, because what you’re talking about is fine.

Well, a few people have already pointed out the nastiest sounding one, so I’ll go with wolfgirl.bar

Pretty sure I’d want eye bleach after that.

I like how the child in the first panel grows up to be the protester in the second panel, and the child in the second panel grows up to be the protester in the third panel.

Just this one time, I’ll let myself imagine that he only uses “fembot” when posting on 4chan, and that he’ll grow out of it soon.

I wanna think this kid’s niece changes him for the better.

What I want is a map of the states where owning a raccoon was expressly, specifically made legal. States where the law plainly says that it is legal to own a raccoon.

Loopholes, sloppy legislation, and situations where someone can say “well, it’s not technically against the law” do not count.

I think it’s kinda funny that a comment about understanding contains a typo

“I was told that professor was not okay, Dr. was not okay for me because I didn’t have a Ph.D., but there are lots of people at FLVS who do use Dr., which, coincidentally, is also in violation of the same law I got disciplined for,” Vary said. They were told the other acceptable courtesy titles were Mrs., Ms., or Miss. Using “teacher” was also out of the question.“

“We’re going to refuse every attempt at compromise, and force you to choose between abandoning your principles or your career. Why? Because we’re bastards. Fuck you.”

Serious question, though: how does one pronounce Mx.?

I’m taking her story way too personally to be anything close to neutral. I thought that was clear, but okay.

What an asshole. I’m so glad he’s someone she used to date, rather than is dating.

Look at her face. From my worst moments in the past, I can understand getting carried away and snapping the pic in the heat of the moment. Still, though, how the hell can you look at that pain and sadness, and then send the pic to her without realizing how badly you’ve hurt someone you care about? That was a priceless moment for him to STOP HIMSELF before making things worse, and he just bulldozed right past it. Fuck that guy.

Consider the source

Huh. I wasn’t thinking “racism” at first. I was thinking of child soldiers who were simply too young to know better.

Thank you for the explanation.

It’s been over a day and I still want to say GODDAMMIT.

You got me lol

Thank you. I just kept not seeing it.

I’m usually reluctant to judge a person I’ve never heard of before based on one quote with no context. Regardless, I’m pretty comfortable saying that this guy can go fuck himself.
