Bouba's Delivery Service

I remember that! I asked people in the group if they'd seen an "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate" sign in their town. Pretty much every protest seemed to have one!

The origin story of the Monarch of Pointland

Fluffel is an unusual name for a little boy, but it's nice that he is petting Lance so gently.

And a NICE egg, too!

Thanks, and sorry.

In the 2010s, I would have totally agreed with this. Now I'm feeling "yeah but look, the baddies WON, the goodies are dicking around fighting each other, I can't really judge anyone for wanting to self-soothe by immersing themselves in a world where it didn't happen that way"

Now I want to invoke Rule 34 and see if someone's put that on AO3.

Children don't like it either. I certainly thought it was bullshit when toy-commercial cartoons tacked on a moral. And to understand the anarchy and chaos of Alice in Wonderland, you have to understand bourgeois Victorian childhood and the constant moralising of everything those children read.

No one appreciates how cute spotted salamanders are. They are SO CUTE.

I got someone on youraislopbores.me to draw me the most adorable picture!

I had flu in January. Clutching a hot water bottle to my chest with an ice pack on my forehead.

Our final runner up for the Winter Curlew Photo Competition is this stunning pair by John Ibbotson.

We think you'll agree this captures the beauty of Curlews perfectly!

He can show you his tattoos
He is in the music business
He is calling you DUDE

He's probably already thinking that next month should be Blowing Shit Up In Cuba.

So have I, but I thought "Lockheed Martin" referred to one specific dude in particular

How DO they get all the tomato stains out of the sheets?

Bell curve meme goes here.

The Maineyan!

Unfortunately the question here is, Fahrenheit or Celsius?

I don't think anyone really gave a shit about Ana Mardoll working at Lockheed Martin per se, so much as they enjoyed putting the boot in now that the sanctimonious bullying scold was finally fallen from favour.

Yup. For paradigms of bad heterosexual polyamory, that one's up there with "some people are absolutely insufferable on anything more than a strictly limited timeshare basis".

She sounds like she's forcing herself to like her husband having a skinny goth girlfriend in the same way that I forced myself to like having a boyfriend of completely incompatible sexuality (on account of his being a gay man and my being neither of those things). And I feel so, so bad for her.

Look, we have plenty of worked examples about how, if you're going to get rid of something, you need a succession plan. Because if you just let whatever happens happen, chances are it's a merciless bastard who grabs the wheel.

Gorgeous map.

Is there a name for when you start wondering "if these guys were working for the other side under deep cover, would they be doing anything differently?"

People just keep reinventing congee from first principles

Seeing as the Americans are about to wake up, I'm honestly NOT trying to relitigate food discourse. Just describing biscuits and gravy to someone who hasn't had them. I quite like them but need a bucket of coffee to stay awake. Wheat and I aren't very good friends.
