There have been a number of freak chemical incidents just this past week. The latest one to hit the news is in Florida (because of course it is):

Honestly I'm starting to think that destroying the internet wouldn't be the worst thing we could do, at this point.

Oh, OK, the article was being kind of ambiguous about that. It called it "a phrase widely acknowledged for its antisemitic connotation", which made it sound like it's a phrase only an antisemite would say, not something they'd be accused of doing. This is why passive voice sucks.

I sure wish we could send her back in time to when a comment like that would get her super-canceled by her party. Hell, most of 'em probably wouldn't survive long at this point.

That's... not irony. That is, in fact, the exact opposite of irony.

I don't think that's the official explanation in the Disney version, though, since at the end he's seen returning from a time-travel trip to the 20th century. I think they just want us to assume, probably even before that point, that he's done that from time to time.

"Inadvertently." Sure. Wouldn't have been the first time someone there torched as much as they could on the way out.

I mean, I can think of some people who would benefit both themselves and their followers by only being allowed to tweet a few times a day... (and that's not counting the even larger number of people who would do themselves and the world an even bigger favor by reducing that number to zero)

"flanked by huge boxes of gas stoves" certainly had my mind going in a different direction at first.

It's not there for me either; must be an admin-only feature.

I have some tragic news, which is already several days old. Two of the three people behind the channel Schaffrillas Productions (which I'm now kind of ashamed to admit I didn't even realize was more than one person in the first place) died in a car crash last week, and the third was also in the...

It'll never happen. The system cannot tolerate more than two active parties. What'll probably happen is that we'll see a handful (probably the same ones who kept voting against McCarthy) break off and try to run independently, lose, and become a quickly-forgotten footnote in history. Everyone...

Is there a way to do this other than editing the first post, thus flagging it with a "This post was edited on [date]" message? And if not, can there be?

Just got word that the Biden administration announced it's ending their state of emergency in May, meaning no more free vaccines or testing kits, among other things. Despite, you know, everyone still needing annual boosters for the rest of their lives. But enough about this shithole country...

Yeah, you got me, I was definitely being an ass there. I stand by the rest of the paragraph though.

Again, LET THEM TRY. It failed last time, and they even had the commander-in-chief on their side. I'm absolutely more worried about the possibility of him winning the actual election than what his followers will do if he doesn't.

My violin is made of antimatter because I am actually less concerned about Alex Jones the more he suffers. No amount of suffering on his part could be enough to make me say "OK but is it enough yet? I'm not sure it is."

Is this about some kerfuffle involving the Ukraine flag that I've been lucky enough not to hear about yet?

At first I was like "Surely they mean the ones who agree to become organ donors, as in their organs will be harvested when they die" and as big as I am on more people doing that, I was equally against that idea because I know it'd just lead to more prisoners dying under suspicious circumstances...

Guys, I forget. Is replacing your country's legally-recognized flag with some other piece of iconography a bad sign?
