- The perfect Christmas gift: a gun for every employee.
- Are you a freelancer or a remote worker? Could you use an extra $10,000? Then Tulsa, Oklahoma, wants YOU. And they’re willing to bribe you to move there.
- Whatever your views on immigrants, legal or otherwise, Motel 6 betrayed all its customers by turning guest registries over to ICE sans warrant or subpoena. It’s good to see them having to pay through the nose.
- It’s about time: Hillary has been ordered by a judge to answer five questions about her infamous insecure email system. Unfortunately, it’s only five easy questions for now.
- Yes, it’s a good thing that the NYT disapproves of blasphemy-as-crime in Pakistan. Scott Greenfield wonders if they’ll now get a clue that blasphemy-as-crime shouldn’t be policy in North America, either.
- If you’re a minority, some people believe it would be racist to hire you on your merits, rather than on the basis of your race. (Um. No, that doesn’t make sense to me, either. But them’s the times we live in.)
- By day, he’s a counselor who tries to “cure” men of gayness. By night he’s … well, let’s just say you probably won’t be surprised. (Via Maggie’s Farm)
- Well, if this doesn’t shrivel your formerly warm heart, nothing will. That homeless man who used his last $20 to buy gas for a stranded motorist? That $400k GoFundMe haul? It was all a fraud cooked up by the couple and the homeless guy. They might have gotten away with it, too, had they not begun squabbling over control of the funds. (All contributions will be returned.)
- Six people who broke stupid laws in the best possible way.
- You say awwwwww. I say awwwwwww. But somehow I doubt the object of these puppies’ attention feels quite the same about the situation. (H/T jc2k in comments)
Yeah, spotting the closet case is becoming almost as easy as spotting the FBI provocateur, but comes with extra schadenfreude. Having seen the results of “conversion therapy” and “pray the gay away” firsthand both as a University student and a boarding-school dorm manager, I take great giggling delight in the sight of “therapists” like that being outed to their churches and book clubs. Ambulent anal fistulae of that sort deserve whatever they get.

Um, I thought the whole point of “remote working” was to avoid going to a cubicle farm with all the distractions of office life. Silly me.
Well, Claire, you got my hopes up. But I see it’s Motel 6 that has to cough up the bucks. ICE, again, gets off scot-free.
I would go to Tulsa for a year for 10k but I gave up the cube life long ago which was the whole point of not going to an office. And besides, Tulsa has been sliding down the, um, shall we say, low crime with pleasant living standards scale recently.
