Oooh, my partner is working on his resume; I’m going to share this with him. Thanks!

The kids’ menu is labeled “Penne for your Tots.”

As a fellow American Jew, I just want to say, loud and clear:

Fuck Israel, fuck Netanyahu, and free Palestine.

Israel is a segregationist state actively committing genocide. If you feel unwelcome in places that are against genocide, that sounds like it’s a you problem.

It’s a good thing I’m a Pink Floyd fan because I am comfortably numb.

Or is that the dissociation talking so I can get through the next week, at least? Eh, six of one, half dozen of the other.

Just you wait. Given some of the dumb things that have come out of people’s mouths, I would definitely not be surprised to see a headline like:

BREAKING: Corporate scientists suggest microplastic problem be solved with acid rain.

I like to think of it like a broken bone. Yes, your overall health is important; no one is questioning that. But if you go into the ER with a broken bone and the doctor tells you that they’re going to ignore your injury in favor of telling you to take your vitamins, they’re an asshole who doesn’t care about your pain or healing your injury.

Systemic racism is the broken bone. No one (except, perhaps, assholes and billionaires) disagrees that all lives have value. Saying “all lives matter” in response to “black lives matter,” though, is saying “let’s wilfully ignore the problem because I am clearly okay with the status quo.”

Edit to fix typo.

Agreed. The life of a phone includes multiple cables (unless someone here knows some trick I don’t), so including OEM hardware that’s tested and recommended for the device is great and I wish it were still standard. Phone manufacturers not including parts that they still sell separately seems to have little to do with environmentalism/conservation and much to do with profits.

The correct answer is people are fat cats. That commenter was so close.

I’ve only ever known people to use Bing for porn (or because their workplace forces it on them). There are people who actually choose it?

She would almost certainly have threatened to contact her “solicitor,” not her “attorney,” if it were real, given she’s from/in the UK. Still a very entertaining read, though.
