Every single video she makes about lead on this popular brand of “premium” glass baby bottle gets swarmed with paid bots (from the company) commenting “it’s not a big deal”…

“we accept bitcoin” with miller’s twist soft pretzel sign in the background
a strong belief i formulated recently is that if the amish soft pretzel place can accept bitcoin it can be open on sundays. you have left tradition so far behind by accepting bitcoin just open up on sundays it‘s fine.

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.
Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.
Quentin Tarantino should have been run out of town for speaking ill of this man

"Scream Queen" Ingrid Pitt proudly showed me the little figures they painted together once. Kept them all her life #nerdlings

Not, “I disagree with you, so I must destroy you,” but “I disagree with you, so we must use the creative energy of our differences to imagine something else together"'
photograph from the 80's of the wrestler Sting wearing a Gold's Gym shirt and sunglasses, leaning against a shelf in a bookstore and positively cheesing at an open copy of The Far Side Gallery 2, a collection of Far Side Cartoons.
what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇
