McSweeny's and DIY home repair are really the only two things the internet is good for anymore.

And good-sweet-jibbers-crabst, McSweeny's can stick the knife and turn it juuuuuuuust right to leave the victim still alive and breathing, but knowing they are mortally wounded and will soon die: "No, I'm just a pasty, middle-aged sad sack griping about "courage" because I've never encountered any real form of adversity in my life, and criticizing Black female athletes is my way of expressing deep-seated feelings of inferiority at my relative lack of talent, as well as a way to give myself a false sense of cultural superiority since I secretly feel threatened by anything and anyone that challenges the notion of white supremacy and the hetero-patriarchy, which are core tenets of my world view."
