Nordic Aliens like Spandex
Funny Wikipedia article of the day:
“Nordics are typically described as six to seven feet tall with long blond hair and blue eyes, and are commonly reported as being male.[1] Their skin is said to range from fair colored to tanned,[2] and they are sometimes reported to wear skintight clothing.[1] During the 1950s, many contactees, especially those in Europe, reported beings fitting this description. Such claims became relatively less common in subsequent decades, as the grey alien supplanted the Nordic in most stories of extraterrestrial encounters, but Nordic aliens are still occasionally reported.[3] Some sources, such as UFO Contact Center International, refer to Nordic-type aliens as Pleiadians.[4]”

This is like the most half-hearted attempt at reporting an alien abduction ever:
“I was totally abducted by aliens!”
”Whoa, really?! What did they look like?”
”Uhhhh … they were tall. Oh, and blond. Definitely white guys though.”

Fun fact time: many of my old acquaintances still make joking comments whenever they see me wearing pink, because as a child (and honestly pretty much right up to high school) I would refuse to associate with any pink objects.
It wasn’t because I didn’t like pink, it was because since I appeared female I was supposed to/ it was immediately assumed that I did and therefore it pissed me the ever-loving fuck off. I was ashamed to like it, which is terrible because pink is an awesome color. But when you shove it down young girls throats it gets really old, really fast.
Give the child the fucking rainbow, and if they pick pink, it’s not because they are female and/or effeminate, it’s because they like the color pink.
THIS.
Gosh this

The anti-science think tank Heartland Institute has billboards comparing climate science believers and reporters to “mass murderers and madmen” like bin Laden, and the Unabomber.
Seriously!
“Of course, not all global warming alarmists are murderers or tyrants.”
Also, LOL

"The argument that women who enjoy BDSM are “taught” they should be submissive in bed is insulting to me as a feminist: I’m not a little girl who needs other people to tell me what’s best for me. I choose to trust the men I “play” with. I know what kind of pornography and erotica turns me on. I know what kind of touch turns me on. I know what kind of words and tone of voice turn me on. In fact, there’s sort of a joke in BDSM that submissives are actually the dominant ones because they have ultimate control (like with a safe word). As far as spanking play goes, I’ve always been the one telling men to do this to me, to do it harder, to do it softer, and when to stop."
