Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊
Nerdy kid at keyboard: Hi guys, I've noticed that it is International Men's Day today, and I'm confused. Why do we need a day to talk about men? We're not a marginalised group like women, queer people, or people of colour. The media is already full of stories about men. Big buff shirtless dude at keyboard: I'm glad you asked, champ. Whatever your view on men's place in society, it's still true that we face a lot of issues - like social isolation, risk of suicide, health problems, and attitudes towards sex and child rearing. Having a day to talk about those doesn't take away from anyone else's problems. In fact, having a day to talk about them helps us be more mindful, and listen better at other times. Second shirtless buff dude on a couch at his laptop: The chief here is really on to something. I want to echo what he said, and also point out that the idea we should remain silent about our problems actually contributes to a lot of our issues. We are human beings, with human needs. Seeking mutual support and understanding isn't the same thing as placing a burden on others. Especially if we're providing it for each other. Third buff dude at his laptop: Right on, my fellow kings. We've inherited a social legacy of competition and division, and a lot of what makes a man in our era is under question. IMD is a chance for us to examine and rethink what we are together, and build the bonds of solidarity and support that will make a better way possible - like in this meme. Because in our hearts, we're all curious kids and buff guys on keyboards.

Repost the Money Snake for good fortune in the upcoming year.
A Reddit post from r/mildly interesting by u/downwithsocks. It’s a picture of a small snake on a sidewalk with a penny in her mouth. The caption reads, “Snake outside my front door has a penny.”

I am outraged by the continued and expanding deployment of U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents in North Carolina. This is not law enforcement—it is state-sanctioned intimidation of our communities, and it cannot be tolerated.

Read my full statement.

The facilities suck up land, water, and power—driving up prices for all—and many locals are fed up.

"There's... er..." My new assistant bookseller faltered.

Over by the window, an open book hovered. As I looked, a page turned.

I picked up my hag stone and peered through it.

"Just a ghost. That's a relief."

"What else..."

"Imps, devils, people with invisibility spells. The last are worst."

Border Patrol conducting “enforcement” in a city far from any border and without public justification is an unacceptable abuse of power.

These arrests in Charlotte, driven by racial profiling, destabilize communities and violate basic civil rights. (1/2)

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...
LAW dork = I am certain that someone thought this was particularly witty when they came up with the name, but it's honestly one of the more offensive possibilities these hateful authoritarians could have used. Even on its face, using the name of a beloved children's book as the name of your anti-immigrant, mass-arrest operation is appalling. But, to use a book authored by E.B. White as your name is an offense to history. White was a leading voice for American democracy and freedom and against fascism and tyranny. Abusing his life's work like this cannot stand without a response.

Probably my most cherished meme
Dale Gribble asking cult members "is this the Baptist church?" Cult members, with "Non-Denominational" above their heads, saying "No, we don't believe in labels. We are just Christian." Dale Gribble saying "Yeah, this is it."
