- Reposted by Pureferretthree reporters wrote this piece of shit article. three reporters thought it seemed reasonable to include "with no strings attached" in the lede. three reporters are so dim that they actually believe the emir of qatar is handing over a half billion dollar jet because he just likes giving gifts.
- As Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, the emir of Qatar, hosts President Trump in Doha on Wednesday, it will be the culmination of a successful charm offensive by the Gulf emirate that now appears likely to include the promise of a luxury jetliner to Trump — with no strings attached. nyti.ms/4jPHQhb

- Reposted by PureferretI'm so depressed right now... The stress has officially gotten to me. Only 3 days until I have to pay off the rest of the $5500 owed to the IRS. Otherwise, they plan to seize all income and even my bank account funds to pay off the debt. Any support is greatly appreciated! Thanks! gofund.me/58998fd2

- Reposted by PureferretPeople really will get freaked out by the ingredients list on a jug of oat milk and then think they're only eating one chemical when they grill a steak. Enjoy your heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons!! Worse than anything in oat milk, but still not that bad.

- Reposted by PureferretEpisode 2, discussing Bishop's The Etched City, is now out, and on our Patreon site patreon.com/StarshipAlexandria we have our second bonus episode for paying patrons, talking about the film Aliens, starring Bishop. So many bishops you could have a conclave.

- Reposted by PureferretI was once on a memorable panel about surviving the apocalypse and someone asked what the most important factor was. Other panelists talked about attitude and preparation. I said “Having a standard shoe size.” (Come the apocalypse, if I have to move I will die of blisters.)
- Reposted by PureferretThe historical rebranding of the Luddite movement as anti-progress anti-intellectuals by a capitalist overclass is one of the most successful British campaigns of political erasure to come out of the Napoleonic era. To this day, you can't unfuck the meaning. It's ingrained too deep in the lexicon.
- Reposted by PureferretI am *begging* people to look up the actual history of the Luddite movement with it being bandied about everywhere. They weren't anti-tech, they were anti-exploitation, anti-Industrialist, pro-worker safety textile worker radicals who disabled factory machines that were maiming and killing workers.

- For me, this whole day is a pain... Like today, I was displaced from my home a whole year ago. I am homeless. Like today, a year ago, I became homeless. I was displaced several times and I am still displaced from place to place. A whole year of longing for Rafah. @alexwinter.com gofund.me/9d3943fa
