_{Saying ‘what kind of an idiot doesn’t know about the Yellowstone supervolcano’ is so much more boring than telling someone about the Yellowstone supervolcano for the first time.}

School teaches you that ignorance is shameful, rather than being a person’s default AND ENTIRELY FIXABLE state. Sucks the fun outta learning, if you let it.

I may have posted something to this effect before, but it bears repeating if so: This is a marvelous way of looking at the world, and may be one of the best lessons Randall Munroe has ever taught us. It certainly prompted a change in my own behavior. “You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000″ leads to a lot more fun in life than “What do you mean you don’t know about _____?”

Common sense is something you learned so long ago that you forgot learning it, and it’s extremely regional.

Honestly, I wonder what Scraps would have looked like if I designed them during my dark and edgy teen years.

The same but replace purple with black and brown with red

Trump just banned National Park Services from tweeting until further notice because they made fun of the size of the inauguration turnout.

Which means his administration will likely be doing this for any government agency that spreads any news, information, or jokes they don’t like.

I’m Uncomfortable

actually, national park services didn’t even make fun of the inauguration turnout. this was the tweet they retweeted:

there’s no joke here, no fun-making, nothing even remotely derogatory. national park services retweeted a completely impartial tweet and two undoctored photographs of real events, without any commentary or editorializing, and they were banned from tweeting. literally just for acknowledging objective reality.

I love posts like this that require like six levels of meta understanding to comprehend them.
