Somewhere between the 2024 election and the 2025 inauguration, right wing weirdos were led to Romans 13:1 and have used that as the bootlickers' creed as if they were gladly willing to give, say, Joe Biden or Barack Obama the same deference they demand for their dipshit president.

The polls will be ass for the rest of our lives. Data collection looks like spam and might also actually be a phishing scam.

The polls were ass in Michigan.

So we have 30 days to comply with some bullshit a contractor made up or my HOA won't have insurance, which I know from experience will also not be renewed if we ever use. Insurance is the biggest scam in the fucking world.

I am begging Mamdani, who seems to be doing great, to stop trying to explain Democratic Socialism to people who will never allow themselves to hear the word socialism without freaking out. Just do good policy and quietly know that, yes, the good policy is socialism.

Horrible reality, perfect joke.

Iran War Enters 6th Justification

Holy shit, this may be the worst blatant misunderstanding of scripture I've ever seen. This is willful stupidity. This is a full lack of reading comprehension. This is holding the Bible and saying "this is a book about John Wayne." The Christian Church should be breathing fire at this bullshit.

The most upsetting thing about my most upsetting private thoughts is that they're not even new or original upsetting private thoughts. Which just makes them more upsetting.

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

Of course we all know what would happen if this person wasn’t a white Christian, but also, this kind of proselytizing is not about converting or even delivering a message to anyone. It’s a self-aggrandizing act of domination. It’s an actual sin of vanity.

If this weirdo (derogatory) was on my flight, I would be torn between theologically dismantling the very idea that she'd use a captive audience to proselytize in Jesus' name and letting her finish only to demand equal time from everyone on board for me to tell them about Ra The Sun God.

Was just talking with a friend about how jeans, a red checked button down shirt and a newspaper from that day is an easy dead Mitch McConnell Halloween costume and now she sends me this:

I think a Jaylen Brown/LeBron James team finding success would drive a certain kind of basketball fan absolutely mad, and I'm here for it. So as long as I'm actually bandwagoning a Philly team, I think that team should have full access to Gritty. I need the Flyers to do the Sixers a solid.

I feel like there's a real cliff to fall off of right next to valid criticism of Israel and I've been surprised by some of the folks on the left I've seen take a fall.

Antisemitism is a force that is ALWAYS attractive and pliable enough to be folded into ANY political project at ANY point in the “left to right” spectrum. Right NOW in America it is MORE activated on the right, but that is truly by happenstance. It’s a true political utility player.

Do it. This is the kinda stuff Massachusetts should be doing all the time.

Massachusetts Democratic leaders said they will pass a bill that would dramatically broaden the state’s already-liberal abortion laws by making it easier for women to terminate late-term pregnancies.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Brett Friedlander witnessing Bill Belichick reach into a box of bagels, ripping the bagel in half and putting the other half back in the box, and then raw dogging his half without any condiments is PEAK Kickoff material. It's why we're here. You can't get this in the SEC.
