    In a speech that lasted almost 30 minutes, Judge Vonda Evans of Detroit laid into 47-year-old William Melendez, the former police officer caught on video beating an unarmed black man in January 2015. Looking at his history, Melendez deserved every word of it.

  • It’s moments like this

    When I’m preparing for a new job

    When everything is all lined up and I’m all ready

    When my bag is packed and my uniform is clean and ready

    I realise just how strong my imposter syndrome shite really is

    And spend the whole night panicking

    Last night, a coyote smashed its way through the wooden wall of the hen house and ate the Disgruntled Viking Chicken. We’ll miss her.

    We never intended to end up with a Disgruntled Viking Chicken. We’d gone to the feed store to buy Rhode Island Red chicks, but there was also one little ball of yellow fluff who’d gotten her head stuck in the food dish, peeping angrily. I thought that was cute, and so we ended up with one yellow Buff Orpington along with our flock of sleek red-orange rhodies. The rhodies would sit on the Blue Haired Girlfriend’s lap, watching TV and being petted, while the Disgruntled Viking Hen investigated the edibility of such culinary delights as “electrical cords” and “socks.”

    We probably shouldn’t have been surprised when head-stuck-in-food-dish chick grew into a hungry yellow fluffsphere with feet. She stalked frogs in the duckpond, dismembered them with disturbing zeal, and ate them messily. She had an uncanny ability to locate styrofoam, aluminum foil, and plastic buried in the mud, which she would then attempt to eat and angrily peck any humans who took them away. She once leaped up and pecked Soup-Nose the goat right in the udder when she felt that Soup-Nose was getting too close to her barley.

    She gave no fucks about flock politics, unless someone was taking her food, in which case I hope The Powers That Be had mercy on them, cause she sure wouldn’t. But whenever we got new birds, they always ended up sleeping cuddled up to the Disgruntled Viking Hen, who just didn’t care if they were strangers or scared or lost or at the bottom of the pecking order. The peacocks slept one on each side of her, leaning on her, for months after we got them. If she realized they were not actually chickens, she did not care.

    I hope Chicken Afterlife is full of wonderful things to eat, like styrofoam and uranium and nebulas and square roots and entropy and fulgarites, and nobody to take them away from her. And I’m glad all the new arrivals to Chicken Afterlife – scared and lost – will find a warm soft grouchy yellow fluffsphere who gives no fucks to sleep next to.

    Somehow this giant punch bowl is the most effective baby goat containment field we have found to date.

    Oh my fucking god, I was a retro memer

    I can’t believe we’re already calling Charlie the Unicorn vintage, I feel so old

    Charlie the Unicorn would be in 6th grade if it was a person.

    Y’all need to check out GI Joe PSAs and Powerthirst if you haven’t already.

    holy shit. meme historians.

    I can’t believe All Your Base is almost old enough to drive a car.

    Yes, children.

    I remember hamsterdance.com.

    I remember pranking the middle school typing teacher with hamsterdance.com.

    (Which means it was up by 1997, by the way. The original may even have been 1996).

    …but you missed Magical Trevor (2004)

    …als, Yatta (2001)

    Also, I’m not sure if this was widespread enough to be memage, but it was frick’n odd and utterly addictive to watch – Cycles (2010)

    Although that this list exists at all is amazing.

    necclibrary:

    YES.

    I once saw someone point out something I hadn’t really considered before- libraries are one of the only places that are warm and dry where you can stay for long periods of time if you have no money. If you’re someone with nowhere to go during the daytime, they provide a safe environment in which to keep a roof over your head for a while- and all while you can access information.

    So yes. This.

    It’s weird…libraries almost feel /wrong/ now. It’s like I walk in and think “This is great…where do I put my money?”

    I used to work on a campus library and if you want someplace to put your money, so to speak, make sure you put books back in the designated areas. I know you think you’re being helpful by reshelving, but even if you pull something out to read a couple paragraphs just stick it in the basket for things you didn’t want. I don’t care if you know EXACTLY where you are. In academic libraries (at least in Texas) our funding was determined by how many books people looked at. So we got additional funding based on books not being reshelved. If there’s a designated shelf/basket for things you don’t want, stick things in it!

    What @standbyyourmantis said about not reshelving is true for public libraries, too. Our funding is dictated largely by how ‘used’ we are, so we scan all the items that are laying about as In House Use. That, tied with Reference Count and Door Counter numbers (we have to manually put in the time we take for references) to prove we’re providing a needed service.
    We also have to count the number of people who come for our programs, which not only helps funding but shows that the programming/services are needed, as well.
    So, basically, if you want to feel like you’re making sure we’re getting paid and staying around, keep these in mind.

    I didn’t know that’s why you’re not supposed to reshelf!
