Crowdfunding a bike-lock that squirts vomit-inducing antipersonnel gas when cut

[image] Take the seat with you and leave it like this.

While a picture can say a thousand words, this particular one says two, maybe three, to would-be bike thieves. And what words they are.

No, YOU'RE the puppet!

I sat down here to write a little poem. I reckoned it would only take a minute. I’d jot it down at coffee and be done As soon as I had two words to begin it. With umpteen rhymes for puppet right at hand (though some, it must be said, a bit farfetched) I confidently scribbled what I’d planned. Well really, would I care if haters kvetched? But wait, I meant to dedicate my work! And now I’m in the homestretch, rounding third. Facepalm, what’s wrong with me? I’m such a jerk. I clean forgo…

Children don’t always live

I wish I could verbalize it, I’m certainly not a poet and not even the English major that is the wife, but I’ll give it a shot. Love is a multifaceted thing. You love your parents. You can love a partner. You can love a friend. You can love a pet. All of these are pretty different and have a number of different levels of both intensity and depth of meaning, but love is the word that we have here, so please bear with me. When you become a parent, whether it’s a nurse handing you a gooey pe…

What's the *worst* movie you've ever seen?

The Phantom Menace is of course awful. But if you’re reconsidering it anyway, the “JarJar is the master Sith” theory makes it much, much better. And funnier. Make sure to watch the videos, which elucidate and exemplify the ideas quite well. The Phantom Menace is of course awful. ETA: The Phantom Menace is of course awful.

Women are flocking to Susan B Anthony's grave to cover it with "I Voted" stickers

Well, I’m here. [image] Here’s the grave… or at least as best I can manage with the people around it. [image] And here’s part of the line.

The Phantom Menace is of course awful, but it does lead to some hilarious acts of creativity (like that comment).

Trump and Brexit are retaliation for neoliberalism and corruption

That’s not inconsistent. Hillary was popular with traditional democratic primary voters. Sanders was very popular among independents. He wasn’t beloved by Republicans, but he wasn’t the target of 20 years of bizzarely channeled hate either. We’ll never know how the campaign would have changed minds, but at the start he was nationally popular. To get more speculative, I think a number of democratic voters were overly fixated on fighting the last war. We’ve spent so much time defending “Welfare …

Zuckerberg: it's crazy to think Facebook fake news influenced voting

Demagogues have always been part of democracy. A demagogue (Mirriam Webster) is… (1) a political leader who tries to get support by making false claims and promises and using arguments based on emotion rather than reason (2) a leader championing the cause of the common people in ancient times In the first democracy, the people voted to exclude women, and the poor from power; voted for apparently unpopular and expensive wars with their neighbours; and voted for exile or death sentences on peo…

Clinton's data-driven "ground game" sucked in exactly the same way "targeted ads" suck, for the same reason

Wow. That chart is mind-blowing. The republican vote has barely changed in eight years — this election was entirely the result of that low blue column.

This fucking post.

That’s my child’s godfather, IRL.

He doesn’t comment much, but he joined the BBS for me.

@Melizmatic

He doesn’t comment much

Quality over quantity! I’m glad he’s here.

[Melizmatic]

Me too.

At first, he thought I was upset with him because he posted that brilliant comment.

I’m not; but he’s right about so much insane fuckery so damn often, that it can be a real downer.
