“So you turn left at shall-I-go-naked street and carry on until you get to Gropecunte Lane and then it’s the third on the right”
We see your Humble Jumble Lane and raise you Crack-brain-court and New Martin Street a.k.a. Shall-I-go-naked-street! These are from Whitechapel, London, in the early 1700s. Does anyone have any more stupendous street names, from #OnePlaceStudies or elsewhere, to share on #OnePlaceWednesday?

The thing about the Newhart finale is that it's fine, but nothing particularly great, up until the last minute. Then it's one of the most incredible moments of television ever.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

Inching ever closer to carbon-free carbon at this rate
CARNEY: "A functioning, not corrupt, Venezuelan economy will produce more oil. It will be better for the Venezuelan people. It will be more stable for the Western Hemisphere. That's all a good thing... Canadian oil will be competitive because it is low risk, low cost, and low carbon."

I bought an electric kettle for our Dept's grad students, to make the shithole that they are asked to work in slightly more inviting.
I submitted the receipt - and was told it was an ineligible expense. I had to eat the cost myself.
Maybe I should have flown to Palm Springs to buy the kettle?

Honestly, fuck this.
I see and deal with the consequences for our graduate students of UCP cuts on a daily basis. And I see an upper administration that has done absolutely fuck all to fight back - they bend over and take it, and respond by laying off staff and increasing student fees.
And now this?

For years I would constantly tweet and tweet and retweet about politics. I didn’t help a single person doing that. It just eroded my mental health a little every day. I promise that actually DOING something, even one small thing, feels a lot better than reposting a million memes.
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery
my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.
