I know it's completely against everything they stood for, but the KLF should've sued the documentary filmmakers for trademark infringement just because it was that bad.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
I saw "What the bleep" with a bunch of people who had seen it before and thought it was brilliant. There's a framing story of Marlee Matlin playing a photographer and it's poo poo in such a way that if you didn't know who Marlee Matlin was it's a twist at the end that she's deaf.

They got really pissed when I said, "hey it's that deaf actress" when she first popped up, because they thought it was a brilliant twist and I'd ruined it for people who hadn't seen it.

She's an academy award winning actress who has also appeared on some of the most popular television shows ever. She is literally the worst possible person to cast if you want a character's deafness to be a secret from the audience.

Oh I'm not absolving her of that poo poo, she definitely windfell her way into a professorship off of calling Tucker Carlson an sexist pig: it's just that the lion's share of gleeful screencapping and tut-tutting is coming from Splinter and Buzzfeed writers who think that they deserve such a professorship.

You think the woman who dates one of the founders of the "dirtbag left" gives a poo poo about "problematic" 8 years old tweets from a 20 year old? I don't recall her going after Amber A'Lee Frost or Anna Khachiyan over their Spiked article. (though the CTH and RS people seem cool with each other, their fanbases are at war)

I follow and like all these people, I just think their transparent jealousy any time someone gets a job they think they should've/could've gotten is the Worst Twitter.


Katherine is joking. The “ma’am” is a huge giveaway. It’s mocking the people who use that ultra-serious tone on Twitter. It’s her going into a faux-Keith Olbermann shtick over v minor tweets from 7 years ago.

But like first she has to go find those minor tweets from 7 years ago in order to make this joke so I don't get it because it's still a lot of stupid effort if she's only pretending to call somebody out in public (by calling them out in public)

I mean a hundred years ago? Yeah. The labor movement in America didn't really hit its full stride until the 30s and 40s. A hundred years ago we still had grade schoolers working in coal mines.

Remember: climate change is a result of your personal character flaws! It's your fault! Ascetic discipline and eliminating joyful things from your life are the only way to save the planet!



This is hosed up both for making people feel guilty about ultimately inconsequential lifestyle choices while simultaneously allowing them to expunge that guilt through confession and seeing how everyone else is failing to follow all the stuff your supposed to do. It's bad for many reasons

Cats can never be warm enough unless literally on fire.

While the vet was shaving my cat. She noted that my cat has a layer of some arctic style fut close to the skin. Indicating that one of her parents might have been some snow landscape type cat.

Despite this. If I have a window slightly open after July she stops sleeping in my bed at night because it's too cold and instead sleeps on the heated tile floor.

I literally thought the Rotary Club was just a socializing thing for really old people until just now. I went to one of their events once because my great-uncle was doing his standup routine, and there wasn't another person in the building who was within two generations of me.

I was in grade school when a teacher, for some reason that defies me to this day, decided to show us this movie. Thankfully my brain was young enough that most of what the movie was pushing went right over my head instead of sending me down the path of quantum channeling and trying to influence water with my mind, so I grew up to become a much more conventional sort of idiot instead.

e; wait gently caress, this came out in 2004? Hold up, then what the gently caress DID we watch? It was some weird spiritualism-as-physics thing but I guess it can't have been this. Wow I guess today I'm the idiot on social media.

Yeah, I had a teacher play this for my class in high school. Really makes you think, man.

Yes, they can. Ever wonder why cats tend to sit in sinks and bathtubs? It's because the porcelain or other material is cooler in temperature, so the cat's sitting there.

The thing with cats is that they're terrible at regulating their internal body temperature, so they seek out warmer or cooler places to sit when they're feeling too cold or warm. Cat is cold? Sunshine, computer exhausts, you. Cat is hot? Bathtubs, sinks, tile floors.
