This kid has basically always been a meme. The low key kind, that you always find funny because they don’t burn themselves out.
Time traveling aside, he always seems to show up, never say anything, and yet sticks in out memories.
The kid has presence.
Literally.
This doesn’t appear to be fake news, but you never know.
Apparently a water fountain backed up at the EPA today which started spewing sewage into the hallway.
The deep state has infiltrated farther that we thought.
Sometimes, we introverts need a kick in the pants to meet other people. This is a terrible list, but at least it’ll inspire some ideas.
See? It’s easy. You’ll have friends in no time.

It used to be my longstanding policy that if I ever became Supreme Dictator for Life, the only acceptable skywriting would read “SURRENDER DOROTHY.”
However.
I will make an exception to that policy for the first thing that made me laugh today. This, right here:
I’m leaving in the boomercropping because it also brings me lulz
Apparently some Navy pilots in the Okanogan got really, really bored today.
There’s probably some larger point (heh) in there somewhere about trolls and discipline and the state of our country, but I’m going to ignore it and giggle and peace out for the night.
Happy Friday, y’all.
Sometimes, you just need a laff:
Something about this gently transgressive and absurdist humor is my favorite. The first time I saw Remi Gaillard‘s Pac Man, I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.
Sexy Sax Man is no different.
Time for the ultimate in MAGA self reflection: border wall personality test.
thx, r/The_Donald
That’s kind of a trick question, though, because there is already a personality test built into the concept of the wall from the very beginning.
There are three types of reactions:
If you’re a sane person, avoid #3 at all costs.
#2 is a dying breed, probably personified by Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report. At best, a Classical Liberal. At worst, a Moderate.
Most of us MAGAers were convinced pretty early of the rhetorical and practical utility of the wall, so #1 is pretty much a battle cry for us. See also: Ann Coulter.
Trump’s was such a polarizing election, it felt like picking teams for something bigger. Starting from about the debut of pizzagate in late September 2016, things got a whole lot more Real and the split between upside-down world and rightside-up world felt, for the first time, like a physical thing.
There are still a few people caught in the middle, but not very many.
If you’re still deciding, vote for The Tease wall design, because it is clearly the trolliest. And if our big beautiful metaphor can’t have at least a little troll in it..
why bother?

And that question is: did the person who posted these signs really think about what she was doing? I’m going to assume it was a she.
Am I supposed to read this straight across from left to right? Or each sign on its own? pic.twitter.com/jQvnEI5UKM

I keep imagining the story behind these signs. It’s probably some well-meaning SJW type, or an overly earnest do-gooder. She just wants to make people feel better, like they matter, because truly in her heart of hearts she just loves every everybody in the whole wide world. And that guy had these signs left over from the last protest and let’s put them out on the fence for the whole world to see and remember that they are loved.
When earnestness overtakes logistics: a cautionary tale.
Maybe it doesn’t matter how you read it or how it was intended, but what really matters is which message you take away, like the pithy saying version of a rorschach test, or that old lady/young lady illusion drawing (personally I usually see the young lady).
It’s a good reminder, at least, that 1. despite our best intentions, what we intend to communicate doesn’t always come across, and 2. people can look at exactly the same thing and come to two (or possibly more) completely contradictory conclusions about it.
People usually see exactly what they want to see. No more, no less.
That makes it difficult to assess real, true judgements of things, because I see what I want to see just as much as everybody else, despite the fact that I endeavor to see things as they really are.
On the other hand, we can use it to our advantage, like creating and exploiting a good reputation.
Just bear in mind that there will always be someone who comes along and reads side-to-side instead of up and down.
