Flappin' his wings and struttin' his stuff! Peckin' and weavin' and bobbin' and talkin' trash!

Can't be the only one who read that as "Eaten 14 year old" and thought wtf, that's terrible

They are actually better for you when they are slightly green because the fiber in them is of a more superior form at that point.

I'll bet a sizable % of the population prefers artificial banana flavoring to bananas themselves. I know I do.

The Arrchive of American Television interview with Tony Danza is worth a watch, he's an interesting guy to listen to and seems thoroughly decent.

I don't know why you are so triggered by the concept of unlicensed weed shops being sketchy compared to licensed weed shops.

Nope, no "dog whistle," that's just pure fiction inside your head. This wasn't just "shit weed," it was selling a packaged product that was absolutely fake and without any THC in it. This is an area of commerce that needs regulation and consumer protection. You're not going to get that in a sketchy unlicensed "smoke shop," sorry.

"right wing troll account" - lol

"bodegas" - lol. No they're not. And the city will just end up cracking down on them and they'll probably end up been banned from applying for a proper license. Not as if I didn't give them a chance, anyway. Bought a jar of edibles from one a few weeks ago, totally dud. They were supposed to have 30mg each of THC but I ate three of them and still didn't get a hit (I can get high from 10mg). Lesson learned - there's no official standards adhered to, so it's a crapshoot. And then I heard about multiple shootings in them within days of each other, and I guess that was the decider. Think I'll just stick with my good old reliable delivery guy and restrict my edible purchases to officially licensed stores.

Probably got pranked with bad directions by some other dolphins, you never know what these fuckers get up to with the size of their brains and all.

I don't even know who would go in one of these hundreds of sketchy looking unofficial weed stores. In fact I never see anyone in any of them. They're grossly oversaturating the market. And on the lower east side where there's dozens of them, there's already been 2 shootings associated with them and I just saw another one on Rivington the other day that had police tape around it and a cop guarding the outside, never found out what happened.

I genuinely thought a nearby building had exploded, I'd completely forgotten it was even raining outside.

You do realize that not all professional children's storytellers and performers are drag artists, right? Some of them happen to be drag artists. Which is understandable, since drag queens are often flamboyant, entertaining people who love dressing up and putting on a show. Why shouldn't some of them make a living entertaining children like anyone else? Plus it's a good way of exposing kids to the idea that all kinds of people exist and that within certain obvious common sense boundaries, it's fine.

This is just horseshit. Drag artistry runs the full spectrum from traditional kids' pantomime and storytelling to sassy standup comedy all the way to the racier performances you seem obsessed with. And - here's where I want you to follow me very closely - there is no nudity. For obvious reasons.

Drag queens have been a traditional element of kids' pantomime in the UK since the Victorian era. The kids love them. They are extremely camp and flamboyant and they throw sexual innuendo over the kids' heads at parents who laugh heartily. There's never been any controversy or hysteria and there's never been any suggestion that any child has been harmed by it in any way. So the idea that men dressing as women is a "sexual fetish" and that kids are sexualized just by the sight of them is obviously just deranged garbage and we can set it aside.

But as for these clearly lewd drag shows at which kids have been filmed, well yes, it was inadvisable of the parents to bring them. I wouldn't expect the kids to walk away harmed, however. The moral outrage is way over the top - I'm sure you could have found instances of kids being brought to inappropriate events or movies in every era since the war. Shit, how many kids were dragged to hippy festivals in the 70's where they got multiple eyefuls of rampant drug use, nudity and open air sex? Plus, churches have been grooming kids since the invention of bricks & mortar. These right wing asswinkles really need to stop making fools of themselves.

Dogs smell like garden peas. Rub a dog, then smell your hand. Garden peas.

NY Post is garbage, the Daily News is marginally better and as usual they have the more detailed take. No mention of a suicide attempt, it appears the man was trying to help a woman who had slipped between cars whilst the train was in the station, and he couldn't get back up in time before the train moved and he ended up wedged between the train and the platform. She was obviously still under the train and was also killed. This was an absolutely horrific occurrence.

Personally I think it's fucking ridiculous that unspeakably horrible shit like this is still able to happen in the New York subway in 2022. Firstly, are you telling me that nobody else on that train or on the platform at 10:30am in a busy Manhattan station noticed that something was going on between cars, and informed the conductor? Secondly, trains should not be able to proceed when there are people on the tracks. The technology has existed for years.

Oh look, the right wing's favorite targets. Oh well, at least they're leaving the single moms alone these days.

They should have done a Facebook one instead and marketed it to Boomers.

Disappointed it's not Amiga Workbench
