One of my go-to responses to an unsolicited dick pic is, "oh, no. What happened to it?"

My son, in the same breath, "I wish my eyes were in my ears. Did you know hammerhead sharks could look backwards."

Well this looks juicy.

My son and I cut a bunch of these out in preparation for tying some small mouth patterns called "Stealth Bombers"

Air quality. I grew up in the Los Angeles basin in the 70s and 80s and remember having to stay inside because the smog was so bad - Stage 2 smog alerts, they were called. Apparently they haven't had one of those since 1988. Haven't had a stage one smog alert since 2003.

When someone saw a slave catcher in the area during the Underground Railroad, they would blow a horn to warn people and others would come out of their houses and blow their horns too. Just like we do with our ICE whistles We are part of a tradition of resistance and I think that’s beautiful

"Pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters". "Digimon" is short for "digital monsters". Therefore, "salmon" is short for "saltwater monsters". (You might object: salmon spend a big part of their life in freshwater. But pokemon spend a big part of their life outside pockets too!)

I swear to God, I would bet my house TR would knock Donald Trump out if they ever had a chance to speak.

Bringing car traffic to one of our most popular parks isn’t a compromise; it’s a closure. We’re not done fighting for Sunset Dunes. Follow us to stay informed as this develops.

if we have to do techno feudalism can the feudalism part at least be more Inuyasha-coded?

If Taco Bell had any chutzpah they would have an amazing TACO Tuesday promo right now

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

Just watched a fly tying video with my daughter that she asked for before bed time. My plan is working

I think people need to understand that when you're quibbling over Graham Platner, coming up with hypothetical scenarios where voting for him is a lesser evil, or worse, defending him outright, you're literally asking what level of Nazism is OK in American politics. The only answer is none.

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

We're not gonna win people who just want slavery back, and we shouldn't try. We should also not take our eye off the ball as long as they're still rounding up undoc'd people

Every time. Chase every collaborator out of office

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from, "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Dr. Who," or "Transformers.
