Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Damn, the riot makeout photo was staged.

Damn. I'm never going to believe anyone loves anyone ever again...

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

PSA: If you (like me) had never heard of Dave Sim and are about to google him: Don't. It's worse than you think and now you'll probably be mad all day.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

In late breaking non-news, Scott Adams continues to be a dillhole.

If you look at that excerpt in the context of his entire blog post, then you'll discover that you're completely right. I was suspicious that it might have been taken out of context or satire, but nope.

I think the only possible context is that he is a jackhole brainstem who gives jackholes a bad name.

Scott Adams, ugh. The whole rage-inducing presumption that somehow, society is all women's fault

JZ, it's entirely our fault for choosing to be born with uteri. Duh!

And in completely different news, I offer the best thing on the Internet today: Batman in Culottes. (My favorite one is Pudgy Batman in culottes, thinking "So roomy!")

Hahaha. I love those.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That first picture almost looks more like a utilikilt. Which makes perfect sense to go along with the utility belt.

Damn, the riot makeout photo was staged.

No. At least, not based on anything there. I assume Buzzfeed-dude couldn't bother reading the article he linked to, since he's acting like "Aha, from this angle it isn't anything like what the photographer described!" but... it's exactly as the photographer (and others) described it. The Guardian's done several follow-ups. There's another photo from right after the kiss where other people are entering the frame to see if the girl's okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I am so tired and cranky today, and a coworker just brought by some outside people she's been meeting with, one of whom I've been on a business trip with, and I had to hug her, and I'm all Casual Friday and ugh.
