I used to think the XKCD alt text was cute, but now I understand that XKCD isn't very accessible because it misuses alt text...
I gotta say, I am extremely disappointed with Justin Roiland today.
I cannot say I am especially surprised though. It's almost par for the course with controversial comedy folks that one day they'll reveal themselves to be complete pieces of shit.

sometimes i look up at the moon and think, know who else is looking at that very same moon? MILFs in my area. and it puts me at ease
@mastobit Yes, I agree, it was negligent and it is a huge distraction, which is why I'm not interested in equivocating it to what Trump did.

“Trigger” at one point was a useful psychological term, but now it pretty much means “eliciting mockery or bafflement.”

Found are really pretty place to work for a few hours today. Got complements on my Zoom Background during meetings, just for people to start realizing it was real.
@mastobit Eh, I'd rank negligence as less serious than malice. False comparison to Snowden and Winner who did it altruistically.
@halfcocked Not yet that I have seen. Pretty much anything is less serious than nuclear secrets though.
I visited the Superstition Mountains last week with my wife and parents!

The classified documents found in Biden's possession are certainly not worth ignoring, but the important part is that Biden did this by accident, while Trump did this on purpose.
Biden was negligent, Trump was malicious.
I hate choosing between negligent and malicious, but I'd definitely choose negligent.

I absolutely love this MODERNS music video animated by Peter Corina. It blows my mind that an artist that pumps out so many bangers remains relatively unknown.
An artist I like, Carface, released a #musicvideo for their song Whitelines 5½ years post-release, and it's pretty fun.

GOP lawmakers move to criminalize Arizona drag shows that aren’t adults-only https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/011123_gop_drag_shows/gop-lawmakers-move-criminalize-arizona-drag-shows-that-arent-adults-only/
Arizona Republican legislators have turned their ire on drag performances in the ongoing culture wars against the LGBTQ community, proposing several new laws that would severely limit where and how often they can take place.

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.
If someone does not abide by the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.
