Found a Twitter thread going around from Justin McElroy, about how Sydnee blew up this dude's spot when she went into a cbd store to ask about getting the owner's info about a sign outside claiming cbd 'helps with autism', among other fraudulent claims. The cashier chose to engage, she only went in for owner's info and he initiated the argument about the morality of selling 'snake oil': https://mobile.twitter.com/JustinMcElroy/status/1209234111161864197?s=19 Spoiler: Long and messy copypasta oops @sydneemcelroy is about to give this dude at the mall his own private ep of @Sawbones 0:01 374.3K views 4:07 PM · Dec 23, 2019·Twitter for iPhone Justin “Hoops” McElroy · Dec 23, 2019 Replying to @JustinMcElroy yes you read that right, the sign says CBD “BENEFITS AUTISM” Justin “Hoops” McElroy · Dec 23, 2019 I just heard her say “well Auntie Anne’s isn’t telling people their pretzels will cure Alzheimer’s” Justin “Hoops” McElroy · Dec 23, 2019 She’s been at it for about seven minutes now. Friends, I have SEEN this body language from my wife and I can guarantee this fella is having a BAD TIME Justin “Hoops” McElroy · Dec 23, 2019 a customer just walked in and did a 180 right back out Justin “Hoops” McElroy · Dec 23, 2019 Anyway this has been a brief story about my hero Justin “Hoops” McElroy · Dec 23, 2019 Because some people are complaining about Sydnee lecturing an employee, some notes: 1. She only went in to ask for the owner’s contact info to talk to them about the sign 2. The employee is the one who wanted to argue about the morality of sellling snake oil.
Today I remembered the character Sneaker from the old comic The Dandy, and a useful unsound effect from it. The character's laughter sound effect was written as "snik snik", and whenever something bad happened to him his speech bubble would say "unsnik". I feel a word like that would have widespread use.
This fuckin bird interrupting David attenborough is so good, and it's great to see this man's passion project flourish. Attenborough has always loved birds of paradise and it's great to see him at 92 years old (as of this filming I believe) going after his dreams:
I'm in Whitby with my girlfriend right now! It's been the first Valentine's day I can remember actually doing something with someone I love - we came up here on the bus yesterday and had really good fish and chips at a sit-down restaurant last night, and today we're gonna go to the museum and then walk on the beach and look for fossils and sea glass and sea pottery! :D She's sleeping next to me as I type this, and I love her so much it hurts. She's my best friend and she saved my life last winter, just by talking to me online every day.
