You know what sort of surprises me these days? There are people who don’t accept the fact that the United States has always been a warmongering nation. We are never at peace. And when we are not directly engaged in war, we are providing the arms for, funding, or enabling the logistics of wars.

MLS has segments on Apple TV that appear to be studio shows, with their own in-house studio talent discussing the matches, and it’s actually an advertisement for a gambling site.

He doesn’t have to kill the Epstein files. Those files are the perfect distraction from Trump and the oligarchs robbing the US Treasury.

Are you experiencing pain in your knee? Try using a semicolon between two clauses that could potentially be separate sentences.

It's not even food! People should just stop buying this garbage, it is neither affordable nor tasty nor nutritious.

People are buying these tickets? I got a presale notice and the public notice. I didn't even bother opening the emails. People really need to stop buying these tickets.

How ICE Plans to Put 8,500 Immigrants in This Georgia Warehouse (Gift Article) Experts say the initial designs raise health, safety and security concerns.

ICE is building a concentration camp. They are warehousing people, which is the same thing the Nazis did in Germany. The @nytimes.com has made a slideshow to minimize #MAGA in 2026 the same way America minimized #Nazi atrocities in the 1930s.

Your post appeared in my feed. I did not seek it out. I wish it hadn’t appeared in my feed. I wish you weren’t in my feed. I will, however, await further drivel and nonsense from you and attempt to be as condescending as humanly possible.

Accounts I block #260309:

Accounts highlighting events related to the #NHLPA. A union I will forever hold in total disdain. And accounts highlights the #NHL, the employers of NHLPA members.
