People are using a variety of classist, selfish, and just genuinely cruel reasons reasons to debate whether it's a good idea to feed hungry kids, and as someone who literally ate other people's discarded apple cores for lunch when I was at school, I just want to say: FEED KIDS.

That there is even debate about this shows that we are a society that deserves to be destroyed. And we’re about to get what we deserve.

When can we move in?
If we had a viable path to immigrate to any other country quickly, we would’ve done it already. Only downhill from here.

WHO COULD HAVE EVER PREDICTED THIS?
Medicare For All. Now.
I want to start my own CDC — except mine will be the Centers for Dumbass Control and Prevention.
I’ll need billions and billions of dollars as there is so much work to do.
Finally, someone with a fucking clue. They don’t understand all of what’s happening with cancel culture, but enough to begin to make sense of it. Why is it so rare to find someone who can think worth a damn?
I’m in IT, and it’s funny to me that regular businesspeople are surprised when I write, speak and present well. I know there are many in my field who are barely capable of normal human interactions, but that I am gives me a superpower in my chosen field.
Management types want to be around me and want my advice because I am able to speak cogently, communicate difficult concepts readily, and I write well. And guess what? Being around management types is how you get noticed and get ahead.
So don’t tell me that the “liberal arts” stuff is worthless. That’s a fucking obvious lie.
More than 60 people shared their accounts of Warren Ellis. Their next steps are worth your time.
So the Warren Ellis thing looks like exactly what I said it was: some admittedly sleazy dude dates and has sex with a bunch of women who are also using him to boost their careers — careers aren’t boosted as much as hoped, and now they are angry.
He didn’t assault or rape anyone. He didn’t coerce anyone as most people would understand it. The “power imbalance” seems self-chosen to me.
What a waste of everyone’s time. Romantic disappointment sucks, but it’s not worth this much of anyone’s effort and it shouldn’t be a crime. I feel bad for Ellis and his self-deluded followers and paramours. What a bunch of numpties, all of them.
