It’s really disappointing seeing BlueSky Trust & Safety rewarding those who want to turn this place into the Nazi Bar.

And here I thought United States v. Mohel would be about a circumcision ban.

The colors are right at least, even if it says Lapland instead of Avalanche.

Close up of a white man wearing a black hoodie and a lanyard. He has glasses and over his mouth he wears an N95 mask. His hat is a maroon and blue toque with a maroon embroidered reindeer on the front.

Moose hat for the Moose’s hat trick last night #GoAvsGo:

On closer look, that is probably a reindeer rather than a moose.

Listen. The only Talking Book I need is the 1972 Stevie Wonder album of the same name.

I don't *want* a "town square" or a "debating forum" or "to hear all voices". I just want somewhere where I can talk with my friends about Doctor Who or the Beach Boys or whatever, easily avoid horrible people I don't want to talk to, and know that my friends are safe.

You didn’t even have to animate it. I knew what song it was from the still alone.

They also don’t like it when you answer, β€œThis is the United States calling, are we reaching?”

Yep that one got me. I almost used part of a word, (antici…) but felt it may have been too obscure

You will commit an act of bravery tomorrow. It may seem small, maybe even insignificant to you. It may be that nobody but you ever knows it happened. But you will do something that requires you to push past your fears, and you will know it. That is no small thing. Celebrate it.

Stacked area chart showing where people living in Colorado were born. The "Born in Colorado" cohort varies from 29% in 1900 to a maximum of 49% in 1960 and back down to 42% in 2012.

Fascinating factoid: Colorado has, for the past 100+ years, always been a state where the majority of people who live here have been born outside of Colorado.

The system loses less than a million a year in fare evasion, and the systems you'd need to stop that would cost $175 million to build and $16 million a year to maintain.

It is, obviously and literally, not worth it.

I mean, grocery store parking lots are already the place to buy the most amazing tamales, I don’t see why we couldn’t also sell first class butter there as well.

Without using any words from the title of the song, say three words or fewer that will make a song play in everyone’s head.

I mean, coming over in droves fully clueless, meeting the people who made this place what it was, then weaponising toxicity to eliminate them en masse? There are worse analogies.

A white haired warrior nun wearing heavy power armour with countless religious insignias.

She's mostly different from modern Sororitas artwork due to her skintight pants and high heels, little else is different.

We have been at the "when do the guillotines come out" place for 20+ years now. As our options for reform and relief continue to shrink, so will our options, until we've got exactly one left. That's not somewhere I want to live. But this is where we are. Pretending we aren't here is silly.
