The cat Nijinsky is cautiously optimistic about the UK elections results. Will British cats get the changes they meowed for?

They must be from out of state, or merely liberals, because anyone who’s familiar with his history knows he’s a careerist with great hair who got his start as the best friend of one of the Gettys.

So is the new revenue model going to be blackmail, a protection racket, digging up dirt as a service, or all of the above?

Get some lube and remove that stick. My lived experience of shutting down the type of Gamergate fool who thinks the empire that jailed my ojisan rocks, and the guy who identified as German (and kept Nazi regalia in his house) and hailed me as a “fellow member of the Axis” speaks volumes

It’s the particular way she chooses to phrase it. I’m a Japanese-American and it would never occur to me to claim a genetic gift for sneak attacks or ninja battles as a reason never to cross me. I make sure to let people know my grandparents were anti-fascists in the 30s and 40s.

Hire a group of artists to create forged antiquities to sell as stolen goods to oligarchs and finance bros, then blackmail the first set of buyers into grifting the next set to be the greater fools who buy from them. Basically an art pyramid scheme

As opposed to letting them flail and scapegoating them for 40 years until they’re “almost over it” because of the stigma.

Two enforcers from a drug gang were bouncers at my first wedding to prevent my (now ex) husband’s estranged SIL from carrying out her threats to poison him. They did this as a favor for cat-sitting. My mother still doesn’t know

"Golden Gate crippled Red Lobster by selling off one of its most valuable assets, the real estate it owned, in what’s known as a sale-leaseback, for $1.5 billion. With that sale, Golden Gate nearly made back its $2.1 billion purchase of Red Lobster, while turning the chain into a permanent leaser"

I’m in a STEM department at a flagship university, and the C-suite is cutting our budget, too. The money goes to debt service on previous bad deals, adventures in real estate, a losing football team, union-busting, legal settlements, and executive compensation

From the panel of experts: “There is no conflict that should be excluded from the reach of the law; no child’s life valued less than another’s. The law we apply is humanity’s law, not the law of any given side. It must protect all the victims of this conflict; and all civilians in conflicts to come”

Yes, and the LW should have written to the Chump Lady instead of Hax. The “life partner” sees her role as “wife appliance.” This isn’t the Meiji era, nobody has to put up with her husband’s concubines

Didn’t have that, but I *was* able to reference an Amnesty International report on why hitting both my ears with closed fists at the same time was wrong. I got a nopology but at least it didn’t happen again
