In high school, I wrote this on a post-it, except instead of “Church” it said “Cheerleading Practice.” The note was push pinned to the roof of a best friend’s car in a futile attempt to keep the fabric from hanging on our heads. I’ve since given up on the Witchcraft.

We Have Met the Enemy and He Is PowerPoint
via mikehudack via NYT:
In General McMaster’s view, PowerPoint’s worst offense is not a chart like the spaghetti graphic, which was first uncovered by NBC’s Richard Engel, but rigid lists of bullet points (in, say, a presentation on a conflict’s causes) that take no account of interconnected political, economic and ethnic forces. “If you divorce war from all of that, it becomes a targeting exercise,” General McMaster said.
[…]
Last year when a military Web site, Company Command, asked an Army platoon leader in Iraq, Lt. Sam Nuxoll, how he spent most of his time, he responded, “Making PowerPoint slides.” When pressed, he said he was serious.
“I have to make a storyboard complete with digital pictures, diagrams and text summaries on just about anything that happens,” Lieutenant Nuxoll told the Web site. “Conduct a key leader engagement? Make a storyboard. Award a microgrant? Make a storyboard.”

via Hyperbole and a Half:
As a grammatically conscientious person who frequents internet forums and YouTube, I have found it necessary to develop a few coping mechanisms. When someone types out “u” instead of “you,” instead of getting mad, I imagine them having only one finger on each hand and then their actions seem reasonable. If I only had one finger on each hand, I’d leave out unnecessary letters, too!
But there is one grammatical mistake that I particularly enjoy encountering. It has become almost fun for me to come across people who take the phrase “a lot” and condense it down into one word, because when someone says “alot,” this is what I imagine. The Alot is an imaginary creature that I made up to help me deal with my compulsive need to correct other people’s grammar. It kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug, and it has provided hours of entertainment for me in a situation where I’d normally be left feeling angry and disillusioned with the world.
You want to see the rest of the pictures. TRUST ME.
I wonder if Alots get along with Alrights?

I’ve been struggling with some ideological quagmires lately and this just made me smile. Thanks.

Automatic reblog for using my submission!
While I don’t follow many “cute critter” tumblrs, I saw this today and thought, “Why yes, my life would be made marginally better by the inclusion of one otter per twenty-four hours.”
