I voted for this guy before and thought I'd continue to do so, but the crap he's been pulling recently-ish has just confirmed for me he won't ever get my vote again. What a jagoff.

The negative space between the eggs around his head in this image makes him look like he has pigtails. Saw it and had to punish/reward everyone else with it, too.

I like to think of it like a broken bone. Yes, your overall health is important; no one is questioning that. But if you go into the ER with a broken bone and the doctor tells you that they're going to ignore your injury in favor of telling you to take your vitamins, they're an asshole who doesn't care about your pain or healing your injury.

Systemic racism is the broken bone. No one (except, perhaps, assholes and billionaires) disagrees that all lives have value. Saying "all lives matter" in response to "black lives matter," though, is saying "let's wilfully ignore the problem because I am clearly okay with the status quo."

Edit to fix typo.

I wish this were still the case. The last time I saw one of these was a year or so ago and I was excited to freeze. Unfortunately, the room AC was through a different, more modern, device. They just left the classic to toy with my emotions.

The only time I saw one was on a cheap dollar store plug. I immediately thought it was defective.

This is neat info!

"In these modern, hectic days of fast food, answering machines, and one night stands, people are getting angrier."

Homer buys an SUV but refuses to drive it because he thinks it'll make him look gay. Marge drives it instead, gets road rage, and has to take traffic school.

Okay, Mr. Burns. What's your first name?

Elle Cordova makes awesome videos; this is one of my favorites of hers.

Save a guy's life, and whaddya get? Nothing! Worse than nothing: just a big scary rock!

Seconded. It's a practice that really only exists to pit employees against customers for wages, rather than taking it to their employers who are actually responsible for paying them.
