Two things are true: Republicans are absolutely massive hypocrites on the "leave kids of politicians alone" thing, and also, we should leave the kids of politicians alone. (Assuming, of course, that those kids aren't also adults working in politics).

I initially read this as "librarians love me for some reason". It was funny at the time.

Libertarians love me for some reason, why have none of them offered me $80k to be a bitch for a weekend

I remember reading somewhere that kosher/halal laws are much less about the laws themselves and much more about the group identity they foster. I imagine the obscurity of Catholic mass fulfills roughly the same function.
What you're saying makes a lot of sense to me.
I just read a quote that said that the brain is "a machine for jumping to conclusions" and I don't know why but this feels so true.

I know, right? I wouldn't have thought that a show about the "bureaucracy of evil" could be so compelling and yet here we are.

I’m finally watching Andor again after a three week break (my viewing companions had COVID) and my god it’s so good, it’s seriously way too good to be a Star Wars (sorry but it’s true)
It's egg nog season, motherfuckers!
I did a zoom presentation today and one of the audience took a screenshot of me talking. I looked pretty crazed. I'd be fucking terrified of me.

I'm not sure what it is about this that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the condescension or the "learning is beneath me" vibe I get.

Absolutely no billionaire can do anything to get me to download “Mastodon” and join a “server” whatever in God’s fuck that is.

One of the funny things about Mastodon being “too hard” is that it reminds me that all of the internet used to be hard
Does anyone else imagine that the earworm currently ringing in their head as they walk on the sidewalk is actually part of the soundtrack in the movie of their life?

Why are people talking about quitting Twitter? I have seen a few posts on it.

I was under the impression that a subpoena meant you... had to do something? Or be arrested? Trump is, apparently proving me wrong here.

Ah, fair enough. It's definitely harder to construct a coherent thread of conversation with webmentions

I'm confused by the webmention part of this statement. Do you not have control over how webmentions are displayed under your blog posts?

I think the phrase is referring to the desire to have something both ways, to have something without paying for it

I think the expression is meant to be understood as "you want to eat your cake and have it too", i.e. you still want the cake after you've eaten it, i.e. you want things both ways. Or, at least, that's the only way it makes sense to me.

There is this saying people say when they think you are asking too much: You want your cake and to eat it too? My mind is like, well hell yeah who wants to just look at cake? Of course I want to eat it! How is this a question?
