Not to be all downer about it, but my favorite thing he's ever done is the radiation perspective chart. It was a truly important piece of information for the time presented in an understandable way.

So, someone put together a webpage that shows homophobic language being used on twitter.
You can see mentions "today" and "last week", etc. Granted it just hits search terms so context isn't provided.

I love the Mattress xkcd, because I deal with this problem every. single. night.

Yeah, I really like the infographic ones he's done. Not funny, but amazing. Someone on the Internet is wrong is totally my favorite though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone is wrong on the internet is just...right. It's not funny, per se, and I can barely even call it clever because that's not the angle--instead, it's hella perceptive and succinct as all get out, though, and it's a fuck of a shortcut and I'm glad it's now common (righteous) lexicon.
Apparently the opener of "You know, I've heard some very good things about your technical expertise here at [ita !'s workplace] in the IT department" doesn't automatically make people IIS subject matter experts. I'm somewhat disappointed in that failure.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
FUCK YEAH!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So now you can apply for your job? Hooray? Relatively speaking, hooray, I guess. This whole thing has been such a farcical nightmare.
