Why the fuck did chiropractic get associated with mainstream med? That's not far removed from saying palm readers are legitimate hand doctors. Chiropractic is actually pseudoscience and has nothing to do with your muscoskeletal system.

Whenever I mention Mastodon on Twitter or my blog, I get a flood of new followers.
And that's OK.

After a review of Proudhon's journals it's been discovered that he only ever drank herbal tea
Because apparently proper tea is theft

Ok sleep time. Be excellent to one another.
Here's a photo I took of the Vancouver public library. I loved the geometry of it.

"The Professional Sharer" by CGPGrey: http://www.cgpgrey.com/blog/the-professional-sharer
Published in 2014 but surprisingly prescient, given recent platform changes by Twitter, Patreon, YouTube, and others.

I'm betting that @christi3k is exactly right about why Patreon has changed their fee structure this week in a way that, in my opinion, makes their business basically worthless. https://subfictional.com/my-theory-patreon-doesnt-want-to-be-a-money-services-business/
Especially since, OMG, "You can no longer use your Patreon balance to make pledge payments to avoid the per-pledge processing fee."

The general consensus seems to be:
1) 20th Century Fox owns the "Alien" franchise.
2) "Alien" xenomorphs are born from a Queen.
3) Disney is buying 20th Century Fox.
Therefore
4) Xenomorphs are Disney princesses.

Four million dollar birthday parties. What could you do with that much money that wouldn't involve spoiling a child?

Honestly I probably could have skipped my whole "why I'm leaving Twitter" blog post and just posted this comic instead. (source: http://www.listen-tome.com/wasted-hours/) https://toot.cafe/media/APuvNvSDKV4yyuCFL3k

It's like someone told Trump there was a single simple thing he could do to set the Middle East on fire and inspire a new wave of terrorism, and he said "Oh yeah baby, let's do it!"

I wonder if anyone's put together a standard prenup for finaid marriages yet (to make them easy to dissolve, determine what to do if one of the students doesn't graduate within N years).
SOON: parents arranging their kids' undergrad marriages as part of the college application process, thinkpieces bemoaning that the kids aren't responsible for doing it themselves
