Why is it that Tweety and the Pillsbury Doughboy's "influence bends the minds of sweet southern biddies below the Mason-Dixon"? Jake Rhodes explores this question, and its wider implications, in "My Aunt Loves the Pillsbury Doughboy. Why?" Read it here: 8amcreative.com/8log/my-aunt…

Why does preserving physical media matter? It’s the only way to make sure those movies and shows don’t change or disappear. Our friends and sponsor @8AM_Creative explains. Ready to help save the videos? Kick in here: bit.ly/WeLuvVideo

Last night Biden said that we expect cops to be psychologists, sociologist, to do everything. And he said that's why we need to fund the police. Which is crazy because that exact sentence shows who we should be funding instead of the police.

"Cash is a social construct, but little green pens that say 'TD Bank' on them are real, and they’re the only things that matter to me anymore. Stepping back from banking and focusing on pen-making is the only path that makes sense." mcsweeneys.net/articles/were…
