Money rolling in for a good cause while 4chan is going broke.
Unrelated, I just saw that topologists have won the Nobel in physics. I was going to say they flew the flag for topology, but then I started wondering what shape it would be.
The Aurora Farmer’s Fair, which is put on by the Lions Club, is the biggest event of the year in the Ohio River town 35 miles west of Cincinnati. The parade went right down Second Street Saturday with nearly 200 bands, floats and groups.
One float in particular caught the eye of some people who weren’t happy to see it. It depicted Clinton in an electric chair with Trump ready to pull the switch. The float also featured an Easter Island head painted black with a black face and a sign that identified it as President Obama.

@Mike J: Not so much topologists as theoretical condensed-matter physicists applying topology.

4chan going broke because of ad blockers. Ha ha.
I guess I’m helping keep this place rolling since I endure the annoyance (and tab crashes) from Cole’s beloved video ads. Oh how I suffer for you fools.

Beloved fools, of course.
OK, some of the people on here are far, far from beloved. But I suppose every ecosystem needs some bottom-dwellers.

@Mike J: Not sure about the shape but the colors will be red white and blue.
The shape doesn’t matter, of course, only the number of holes and other topological invariants.
Ya lost me after “The shape….”

@RaflW: You could do what I do – run an ad blocker (uBlock Origin for me) and also contribute real money to the blog at least once a year. Maybe the ad rates are lower this way (fewer impressions), but I like to think that my contribution more than makes up for that.
When the Act Blue Balloon Juice donation thing was first posted, I thought we would never get near 50K, but I somehow figured we would have lots of individuals donating. I am doubly surprised. I figured we would have more contributors but less total dollars. I know nothing!

Contributed again. Mainly because that float in Indiana pissed me off today.

Have a monthly donation to Hilz and am donating from my hospital bed. Also giving to ActBlue, especially to unseat my rep Mike Coffman (R – CO-Right-Wing-Tool-Who-Wants-to-Take-Away-My-Health-Insurance-Plus-How-Do-These-People-Live-With-Themselves.)
I’m even filling out Internet surveys. I’m bored, folks.
Let’s make President Clinton happen!!!

Hurr, hurr, hurr, hurr…libs can’t take a joke…
Parade organizers (Lions Club) actually approved this float.

@RaflW:
This was my favorite part of that story: 4chan is running out of money—and Martin Shkreli wants to help out.
Because of course he does.

Why can’t a regular [white] fella have a little fun?

@Botsplainer: “America, lighten up, have fun!” (sez toothless Ohio woman). Yeah, electrocuting Clinton is hilarious! So much fun to be had.

@peach flavored shampoo: Vox has a decent summary of what it’s about.

Where’s the Whitey (Blackey?) Tape Assange promised us? I cant wait to not be impressed by the nothingburger he will not release to nobody.
