So I heard this story second-hand, many years ago, but the gist was that a friend of a friend lived in what was generally considered a bad neighborhood, because he was a super poor college student and it was what he could afford. He didn’t have any furniture, he just slept on a blanket on the floor and had a milk crate for a chair and like an old wire spool as a table. No TV, nothing in the fridge, no microwave, basically just bare walls and a roof to keep the weather off. So one day he comes home, and there’s a man in his apartment, just standing there, with this look of utter amazement and horror on his face, and he turns to the guy who’s just entered and says, “This your place? ‘cause I broke in to rob you, but shit, man, you ain’t got nothin’. Wait here, I’m’a be right back.” And the burglar left, leaving a puzzled college student alone in his empty apartment. But sure enough, the burglar came back a while later, and brought some friends, and they delivered a table, a couple of chairs, and a small TV. “I think I got you a bed, too, but that might take a couple days.”

So, the poor college student made some friends. And he didn’t ask where they got the stuff.

I don’t see the point of calling of “Jewish family flees Lancaster” story a hoax, rather than incomplete information/flawed.

As far as the info I got, the only thing that was wrong was the actual headline- the family didn’t flee, they just left on vacation as planned. 

The part where they were wrongly blamed for the cancellation of a Christmas play and threats were made against them is still true? And wasn’t that the most important part?

I looked into it more after being directed to the ADL statement, and from what I can tell, the parents did say they probably would have left town even if they hadn’t already been planning to go on vacation, so while the word “flee” might be kind of borderline, it’s definitely true that they would have left town for a few weeks regardless, which I think is significant.

Exactly this. That family still got an internet’s worth of threats and blame directed at them.

Just because you know the real story now doesn’t repair what already happened.

real life hack for autistic peeps who have trouble with eye contact. if you stare at someones nose they literally cant tell the difference. i had an employer tell me that they could tell i was confident because i made such strong eye contact and i probably looked at their actual eyes twice the whole time. allistics are wild.

Also, if there is a woman wearing eye makeup you can look at her makeup. When I explain my problems with eye contact to female friends I often get “But you look at my eyes all the time!”

No

You have fallen for my trick

I was looking at your eyeliner/eyeshadow/false eyelashes this whole time

i was in sales and have trouble with eye contact and i can verify that both of these work

Another tip: GLASSES!

Looking at the frames of someone’s glasses is another thing that totally goes unnoticed. It’s been my favourite trick for years

Since 2010, every senior class has had 100 percent of their students admitted to college, the school’s website says. The school’s motto is “We Believe,” which serves as a reminder “that Urban Prep students will not fall into the trap of negative stereotypes and low expectations,” the school’s website says.

Carrie is just the right badass bitch to look 2016 in the eye and say “Not today.”

carrie fisher isn’t just princess leia. carrie fisher isn’t just an actress we all admire from a famous series of movies made a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. carrie fisher isn’t just another name on the list of shitty things 2016 has done to people i admire.

carrie fisher is a woman who struggled with addiction and mental illness and never sugar coated it - she spoke honestly, openly, about every ugly truth, and made me so much less ashamed of the things i struggle with in my daily life.

carrie fisher is a woman who fought back against body shaming and misogyny, against agesim, who looked at critics and said “yes, i am a woman who has aged, and had children, and struggled with depression and addiction and my body has changed, so you can just shut the fuck up and deal with it”, and it was absolutely beautiful.

carrie fisher is a woman who was placed in the role of “princess” but didn’t conform to the typical hollywood idea of what a princess should be. she’s loud, brash, crass, and unapologetic for being so.

she’s an idol and an inspiration and she’s a woman who saved my life many times just by being who she was and never shying away from it or feeling the need to say sorry. carrie fisher is so much and more and i cannot begin to stomach the thought of 2016 taking her away from me, from her family, from the rest of the world and those of us who love her so dearly.

i love you, space momma. we all do. keep fighting the good fight.

Random Headcanon: Ronald McDonald regenerates when killed, horror movie monster style, but the Burger King’s immortality is dependent on serial reincarnation. That’s why the latter tends to disappear from the public eye for a couple of decades every now and then; when Ronald loses a fight in their eternal struggle for dominion over all fast food, he’s fine in like a week, but when the King goes down, he needs to wait for his reincarnation to grow up.

(Though this would seem to give Ronald an insurmountable advantage, it’s less decisive than you’d think, because Ronald is actually kind of terrible in a fight. The knowledge that he only needs to win once makes him sloppy.)

Quite so. The Colonel is older than Ronald, and even the King, but his reach is bound by the fact that he can’t affect the material world on his own - he’s strictly limited by the capabilities of his current corporeal host. Like all elder ghosts, however, he can cast a mean curse, so it’s best to tread carefully in his court.

Wendy’s a tough one to pin down. Once a mere figurehead empress, she’s taken a more active hand in the politics of the Fast Food Wars since her father’s mysterious disappearance scarcely a decade past. Nobody’s quite sure what her deal is; to all appearances, she’s a perfectly ordinary fourteen-year-old girl - but she’s been fourteen for a long, long time.

Collecting a variety of requests:

• The Taco Bell Chihuahua is gone. In her hubris, she challenged the Colonel to single combat, who unhinged his jaw like a snake and swallowed her whole. Nobody’s quite prepared to say she’s dead, since the powers of the Fast Food Wars have been known to come back from worse, but it’s been fifteen years now, and few expect her return.
  
• The Five are a sinister cabal who eschew personal names and identities, being known only by their collective title. The secret to their power is that they’re actually a telepathic hive-mind; though their members are technically mortal, the collective itself can recover from individual losses as long as at least one of them survives.
  
• Despite its icy clime, the Dairy Queen’s kingdom flows with milk and honey. Her subjects are well-fed and happy and want for nothing - but there’s always something brittle about their smiles. In truth, beneath her jolly facade, their glorious sorcerer-queen’s heart is as cold as her realm: all shall love her and despair.
  
• The Caesar is an anomaly in the Fast Food Wars: a mortal who contends with gods. What he lacks in personal prowess, he makes up for with his vast armies and spy networks. The title is non-hereditary; the current Caesar ascended to the throne in the traditional fashion: by literally stabbing his predecessor in the back.
• Jack be nimble, Jack be quick - though the Fast Food Wars’ fields are bestrode by giants, all know to fear the Giant-Slayer. Cursed by the Old Gods to the form of a child’s toy for some forgotten jape, Jack rules still from his castle in the clouds. A wildcard in the Wars, he’s as likely to decimate his own realm in a fit of pique as he is to march against others.
  

It has latterly been revealed that the previous Caesar survived his assassination, making his way in secret to the frozen lands, where he became vassal - and, some whisper, consort - to the Dairy Queen. The mark of his successor’s poisoned spear remains upon him, staining his skin a sickly ocher, and for this he’s known as Orange Julius.

a jewish family had to flee lancaster county in pennsylvania after fox news falsely reported they were responsible for canceling the schools christmas play, causing them to receive harassment and threats of physical violence. if it seems to you like i’m posting too much about antisemitism, it’s precisely because no one is paying attention to stories like this.

Edited to add: the Anti-Defamation League has reported this as fake.

Tweet is here: https://twitter.com/ADL_National/status/812097973643575297

“News reports alleging that a Jewish family has ‘fled’ Lancaster County are untrue and damaging,” said Nancy Baron-Baer, ADL Regional Director. “We spoke with the family, who explained that they went on a previously-planned vacation for the holidays. Stories like this can sow fear in the Jewish community and beyond, and it is important to stop the spread of misinformation. There is no truth to the rumor that the school cancelled A Christmas Carol at the request of parents. The Hempfield School District released a FAQ clearly stating that the play was cancelled due to the inordinate amount of class time taken up by rehearsals. We commend the district for setting the record straight.”

These little fellows from Aquarium of the Pacific are Flamboyant Cuttlefish and they’re the masters of camouflage. They can not only change the color of their skin, but even the texture as well (from smooth to three-dimensional). These water chameleons are often compared to hippos because of their body shape, but unlike the real hippos, their brains are shaped like a donut. Their home is the tropical Indo-Pacific around northern Australia, New Guinea, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

1. This is not satire.

2. This man is Trump’s pick for Secretary of Commerce.

To be fair I am also gay and think that the blood of young people might be a component for a cure for aging.

I get where you’re coming from but just consider the pure iconography of it. 

A billionaire who already exists as a metaphorical parasite on the working class shamelessly casting off the metaphors and demanding our blood to prolong his own life.

There are so many levels of tragilarious to this.

You know, there was a time when speculating about which members of Donald Trump’s cabinet-to-be are actual, literal vampires would have been a joke.

(Now I’m just wondering which one of them is a werewolf - where there’s one, you’ll always find the other.)

The best part of this is how hard the publication tries to softball this is, like

“Sure, he thinks the blood of the young will give him eternal youth, but like… he’s not the FIRST… guy… ever… to think that. So.

Small blessings.”

First fascists, now a Bathory wannabe. WTF is going on, America? Did someone perform a ritual to start summoning up the worst inhumanities of our European ancestors?
