@AliceAvizandum Honestly I can think no public service more deserving of Soviet-Tier chest flair than a sanitation department.

FYI: large non-nuclear explosions also have mushroom clouds. You don’t need a nuclear explosion to fuck shit up. Everyone’s suddenly a fucking explosions expert now and should probably stop fearmongering until we know what actually happened #Beirut

@RobtNS @keelyflaherty Read it as, “three hours worth of chilling.” This is an example of something that’s fading away in English. It’s a legacy of the genitive case, which marked not just possession but also a relationship between two nouns. So sometimes ‘s/‘ is used to mark that relationship.

@RobMeekel @EmeraldCityML @QuantumDom If you want to look at it that way, feel free. But when I see rations in the pic here or bags of produce that they handed out in Vietnam or China during covid lockdown my first thought is “at least they *tried *to keep people fed.” That says more to me than anything.

@RobMeekel @EmeraldCityML @QuantumDom I grew up poor. We didn’t have those nice things anyways. If the abundance of our society doesn’t benefit all, what’s the point? Every homeless person, all medical debt, every hungry kid is a black mark on us. Just consider my perspective. You don’t have to change your mind.
