So, there is this woman I know from college, and she is a very nice lady, but every day she posts about 10 pictures of dogs that are going to be put to sleep unless they are rescued. It makes me too sad, but I don't want to hide her because I am interested in the other stuff she posts.
Oh my god, me too. I cannot stand it. If there were a customizable filter where I could tell it to filter out those emotionally manipulative posts, I would totally do it. Otherwise, I've had to start blocking people who I otherwise like a lot.
Is there a term for people who share that school of (not) thought? Or, rather, what schools of (not) thought satisfy that criteria?
ignorant.
I was gonna say.
Muppets with People Eyes
It's weird. To me, some are freaky as hell (Kermit, Big Bird) but others are not.
Human eyes make Big Bird look angry.
Ryan Reynolds married Blake Lively over the weekend. Why can't guys I think are dreamy marry chicks I think are dreamy? I haven't been ooh! nummy! about a celebrity marriage in forever.
Muppets with people eyes are weird. Miss Piggy should have had major eyelashes.
Soooo. I just took a job writing the police blotter for our newest, local, virtual newspaper. It pays next to nothing but it's more than the nothing I am making now.
Plus, I might convince the editor to adopt an Arcata Eye-like version if I am exceedingly adept.
I made a mistake scheduling something last Friday and the result was two meetings that over-lapped being booked on the same conference line. I am terrified that I am going to be fired.
Cash, sounds kind of cool.
Is that the sostinato pedal? Why I think I know this, I have no clue. Not a single piano lesson ever.
Barack Obama is tired of your shit.
Hear the President of the United States use gloriously NSFW language!
Our realtor just emailed asking if we'd managed to get the water turned on (yes), and if there were any other problems with the house. Ha.
I Am The Very Model of an Amateur Grammarian - Neatorama
Tom Freeman of The Stroppy Editor took the Major-General's Song from the Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan and adapted it to suit the modern swashbuckling world of grammar nazism:
I am the very model of an amateur grammarian
I have a little knowledge and I am authoritarian
But I make no apology for being doctrinarian
We must not plummet to the verbal depths of the barbarian
I’d sooner break my heart in two than sunder an infinitive
And I’d disown my closest family within a minute if
They dared to place a preposition at a sentence terminus
Or sully the Queen’s English with neologisms verminous
I know that ‘soon’ and not ‘right now’ is the true sense of ‘presently’
I’m happy to correct you and I do it oh so pleasantly
I’m not a grammar Nazi; I’m just a linguistic Aryan
I am the very model of an amateur grammarian
