I stumbled across this photo on Twitter

It’s not bullying, you Twinkie-scarfing baby version of me — it’s ethics in game journalism!

…and my first thought was: “Wow, he kind of looks like me after that week in the ICU…”

or my sadder, shut-in, GamerGate self from a parallel universe!”:

Start your bad trip with Donald trump-shaped ecstasy

“Raving” is a perfectly good adjective for Donald Trump, so it only makes sense that someone — in this case, a father-and-son team of recreational pharmaceutical brokers in Germany — would make ecstasy pills shaped like the Mango Mussolini and tinted to match.

This may be the first and only time that the words “Trump” and “ecstasy” are linked together.

Anitra ordered a dozen eclipse-viewing sunglasses months ago, so I’m prepared. I even have a spare pair to share with my officemates!

Luckily for me, the Sourcetoad office setup is such that I have to only walk fifteen paces to get outside:

The front door and bench outside Sourcetoad’s office, which is in a “boardwalk” style office complex over a pond.

So far, the weather looks like it’s going to cooperate. Here’s one view looking out from the front of the office:

View of pond behind Sourcetoad’s offices, featuring other offices in the same “boardwalk” complex.

Here’s another view, featuring the smoker’s gazebo:

In today’s edition of the Tampa Bay Times, local hero Roberto Torres — owner of the Blind Tiger Cafés, Black & Denim Clothing Company, and CoWork Ybortalks about immigration, its clichés, the need to dispel the notion that immigration is bad, and how Tampa became his home. I’ve had the privilege of hanging out with Roberto, and he’s a wonderful guy and one of Tampa’s greatest human assets. I hope to hang out with him more!

T-shirt of the day: It gets an F for math and spelling, but an A+ for racism

FYI, the actual “14 words”which the Anti-Defamation League calls “the most popular white supremacist slogan in the world” — is “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”. It was coined by David Lane, of the white supremacist terrorist group known with a made-for-TV-movie name: The Order. He died in 2007 while serving 190 years’ worth of prison sentences for racketeering, conspiracy, and violating the civil rights of Jewish talk radio host Alan Berg (Lane was the getaway driver for Berg’s murder).

Whenever you hear some bigot using the phrase “14 words”, that’s what they’re talking about.
