@teknocholer wins the internet for today, we can all go home

This Welsh password generator might keep you safe from hackers, but definitely from dragons

Fun fact: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch means “correct dragon battery staple”, and is the most commonly used password in Wales. [image]

I raced to that thread to try and win the internet, but it was already won. Going home now.

UK Apostrophe Protection Society surrender's, saying "ignorance and lazines's have won"

I think this discussion has reached apostrophic proportions.

Devin Nunes: 'It’s possible' I talked to Lev Parnas

It’s possible we’ve all had a chance to talk to Lev Parnas. Every time you’ve felt down on a bus bench and a friendly Florida real estate businessman took a minute to cheer you up, that was Lev Parnas. Every time you’ve dialed a wrong number and the person on the other end wasn’t irritated, but took the mistake in good-natured stride, warmly sharing a laugh with you over the coincidences of life, that was Lev Parnas all along. Every time you’ve looked back at your solitary footprints on the beac…

For providing a way to do something productive with outrage.

George Zimmerman is suing Trayvon Martin's mother for $100M in order to promote a movie

Instead of giving that pond scum any more attention, donate to Trayvon’s mom, Sybrina Fulton, who is currently running for Commissioner in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Truth

Bill Barr's police speech proves the GOP doesn't actually care about "small government."

For the love of all that’s good and reasonable, can we stop pretending the GOP has any guiding principles beyond “might makes right” and “the ends justify the means?” Republican legislators want only to seize and hold power. They will say and do anything to accomplish this goal. Slogans like “small government,” “fiscal responsibility,” “family values,” and so on are demonstrably nothing more than convenient public lies for them. In fact, the unhesitating tendency to lie, cheat, steal, and murde…

Beer company in trouble for "reindeer orgy" beer cans

Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say “Rudolph, with your **** so **** Won’t you **** my **** tonight?”

What are these mysterious "beach circles"?

Weird and wonderful!

What are these mysterious "beach circles"?

On a complete side note: that helicopter, judging by the sound, is powered by a rare Fisher-Price ETJ-501 turboshaft engine, which was based on the earlier FP #757 Melody Push Chime (see video below). These were used a lot in the 1970’s until a series of notable fatal and hull-loss accidents – resulting from “winsome and soothing harmonic amplification causing compressor blade separation and catastrophic engine failure” – grounded all aircraft, eventually leading to the sell-off and closure of …

Woman asked to remove "Hail Satan" T-shirt on American Airlines flight

Do people who wear crosses in public have to worry about what other people think? If not, then neither should anyone else.

Insightful as always

Runner who slapped journalist on butt is Tommy Callaway, a youth minister and boy scout leader in Statesboro, Georgia

I think this is a place where the gendered context is important. You probably have women in your life who you care about. Try asking how they would feel if someone grabbed the ass at work, or how they have felt about it, because it may be an experience they’ve had. People aren’t all the same and our gender doesn’t determine everything about us. Still, unwanted touching of a woman by a man is a different think than unwanted touching a man by a woman. It carries a different message. So many wome…

One Million Moms, a far-right Christian group, is offended by Hallmark commercial of newlywed women kissing

We’ll stop politicizing their religion when their religion gets the fuck out of politics.

A Continuing Round-Up of Trumpian Events

Republican voters are angry at Democrats for existing. We have one group that wants to be the slightly-left party in a functional democracy, and another group that wants to permanently rule a one-party state. Any time we try to analyze the conflict so the two sides are symmetrical somehow, our models will fail to reflect reality.

The so-called “conservative” party has gone full-out Monarchist.

Merry Christmas, someone stole Jesus's foreskin

Stolen foreskin, you say? Get Nicholas Cage on the phone. I got the idea for the newest movie sequel/reboot: “Nicholas Cage in - International Treasure - Hot Tip!”

Colorado radio host fired after wishing for a "nice school shooting" to interrupt impeachment coverage

I must have missed people taking it into their own hands. Did they perform a citizens arrest and incarcerate him in their home prison? Assault him? Oh - you mean they had opinions?

"How can the moon reflect light if it is a rock?" excellent self-own

People who are merely stupid don’t question things at all. And if they have to, they’ll accept the first answer anyone gives them (which is still, almost all of the time, “the Earth is roughly spherical). Flearthism isn’t about stupidity, it’s about ego. Flearthers don’t care if the Earth is flat. They just see that mainstream science is ultimately made up of people, and think they have as much right to be believed as those people. And they do sort of have a point – it’s not scientific to bel…

Just my favorite overview yet of Flat Earther psychology

Siri obeys the First Law of Virtual Assistants, and so will not let you come to harm.

White Culture

[Replying to a post from the thread about cops here because we aren’t talking about cops anymore but somehow the reply thing didn’t work] Warning: This gets really personal and “about me” but since I’m white, white culture is about me and I am about white culture The thing I’ve been thinking about a lot more is how we white people live out that idea in everyday life and in interactions with one another. Today’s white people are fine at seeing how a king asserts dominance over their subjects, b…
