Fish rained from the sky in Texas this week

Please Lord, send potato wedges.

2021: The Year in Review

All this list needs is “voted most likely to succeed,” “class clown,” “too cool for school” and…oh wait, I’m thinking of a yearbook.

This excited doggo doesn't let head-high snow get in the way of playing frisbee

Apparently the super slow music is a “popular trend” being done by the “kids” these “days”. I grow old I grow old, I shall wear my trousers rolled.

This excited doggo doesn't let head-high snow get in the way of playing frisbee

Is that style of music called pruf rock?

NYT declares "bullet" killed 14 year old girl, not the cop that fired it

Of course, only cops get the magic self-firing bullets. Around the country, brown people, in contrast, have the magic disappearing gun seen only by cops before self-firing bullets self-actuate and save the cop from the danger of their insidious brownness. /S

An unsteady Ron DeSantis seemed to struggle today while speaking

I’ll save my prayers for those of us who are without the blood of thousands of our constituents on our hands. I’ll pray for those of us who are doing everything we can to keep others and ourselves safe - by wearing masks, keeping our distance, getting vaccinated, sharing truthful information, and just waiting to do whatever is next asked of us - so we can end this plague, not others’ lives. I pray the death cult politicos reach complete enlightenment, and stop killing their people with lies an…

'Cyber Ninjas' shut down after judge fines them $50k/day

Except instead of the Night of the Long Knives we got the Years of the Short Fingers.

Watch a very strange video of Suzanne Vega performing "Tom's Diner" in the metaverse

Stop trying to make metaverse happen. It’s not going to happen.

Suspiciously missing Millennium Tower documents seem suspiciously missing

Y’all need to step up your headline game. This post could have been titled: Ron Hamburger Grilled by City Supervisor, Can’t be Flipped

Empty G's feelings are hurt when people mock her for 'Jewish Space Lasers'

She would never say anything against a group of people? I assume she means other than democrats, democratic colleagues in Congress, republicans who do anything bipartisan (I know that’s a very small group of people, but it’s one of the groups she’s attacked) immigrants, Chinese people, school shooting victims, woman who’ve had an abortion, trans people, LGBT people in general, Muslims…

Accusing clinic staff of 'murder,' a California man went on a rampage at a vaccination site

The extreme misinformation being firehosed all over F***book, OANN, Faux and Newsmax is nothing short of Stochastic terrorism.

Some crypto enthusiasts apparently thought owning a book was owning the rights to it

Best reaction to this story I saw so far: "Anyone who’s interested in investing in NFTs, I offer you this time-saving option: 1). Withdraw your life savings from your bank accounts in cash, and provide me with your home address 2). I’ll take the cash and kick you in the nuts The end result for you is the same as if you invested in NFTs - but I get cash, and you can recognize your mistake immediately!"

All 15 employees quit a Noah's Bagels in California after manager was wrongly fired

Worker solidarity is the only thing that changes corporate bullshit. Good for them There is no employee shortage, there are shortages of companies willing to pay living wages and thankfully a decreasing number of people that feel the need to take lousy jobs for starvation wages

School brings in cops to teach during COVID-19 staffing shortage

Again, I think “we must keep the schools running whether or not there are people qualified to be in classrooms“ shows a fundamental disrespect for the work that teachers are trained to do. If there was a critical shortage of truck drivers we wouldn’t say “it is better to let untrained, unlicensed cops drive big rigs than to let goods go undelivered.“ If there was a critical shortage of doctors we wouldn’t say “it is better to put untrained cops in hospitals than to let medical problems go untr…

U.S. cops killed "at least 1,134" people last year

One of the reasons American cops get away with killing so many people is that they can plausibly claim they were in fear for their lives because many American criminals are armed. Meanwhile one of the reasons so many Americans are armed is because they can plausibly claim that they need to defend themselves from the government. The result is mostly that a bunch of people are shooting each other and nobody is really protected from anyone. It’s a big ol’ Circle of Death.
