my job? Zookeeper for the remaining Beatles. Sounds great, right, but I'm on Paul and he's just the worst. The man simply needs too many pictures of range rovers to stop throwing his feces at guests. Meanwhile those smug bastards in the Ringo team keep bragging about how docile and cooperative he is

“To ban books simply because they have a hardcover or they’re used is just trying to solve a problem that may exist in prison by finding the easiest target. And the easiest target they can find is to change the rules for what books can come in.”
Throwing the Book at Books in Prison
Inside Books Project volunteers have sent used books to Texas inmates for nearly 30 years. A new crackdown is threatening their work.

The World Cup, except one team has every player except one replaced with a Muppet.
The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply
As I get older, I find I have less confidence in those my age who think they have all the answers and more in those who think they're finally asking the right questions.

In fact, my liberal arts education prepared me to use my mind in jobs that hadn’t been invented yet when I was in school. That’s the whole point - to teach you how to think, communicate, and reason. Skills that are always needed.
Erika Hall@erikahall.bsky.social · 3w agoRecasting higher education as vocational training is some bullshit. The fact there aren't more jobs specifically calling for people who have studied humanities, social science, critical theory, etc, doesn't mean that there isn't work that benefits from those studies, esp. the work of being human.
Absolutely cannot wait to play this with a table of my friends.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.
