I think that there is a real resource crisis in terms of finding people both competent and corrupt/servile. It has been one of the few things that has has saved us.

To be clear, I wasn't suggesting you didn't.

“Kill them all. The Lord will know his own” (lately bastardized to “let God sort them out”). The words of Archbishop Almaric in the “Albigensian Crusade” of 1209.

Genocide/war criming is no new thing. Sadly.

There’s someone I forgot.

110.% Doesn't matter if this admin doesn't care; what happens when the next admin comes in and says "we're firing you because you're unethical as evidenced by this disciplinary proceeding"? Suddenly you're just another nobody who need(ed) that license.

Inquiring minds do want to know.

Well that was then and them, and this is now and not them, so …

Sigh.

That moment when you suddenly realize you like rashes. The bigger, more itchy and painful, the better.

It’s Iranian-supplied drones the Russians use to kill Ukrainians, you worthless shit-for-brains.

How dare that bastard write a set of books that a bunch of narcissists could wildly misinterpret to serve their own ends!

Yup. People are people. Kim et al didn’t become Billionaires because only right wingers watched them and bought their stuff.

Who on the left? I don’t give a shit about “prestige films” or “prestige books” (what is that anyway?)— hell, I don’t give a shit about film. And while *I* probably don’t personally care, I am immersed in a sea of left folks who love RHof… and Kards and Skims and …. What “street” are we not in Anil?

There's sort of a meta-issue here. People on the left think of culture as "high" culture — prestige films, books, etc. But culture is also... what people talk about every day. And this is why the right owns the framing on everything, and the framing is bullshit.

So they weren't even willing to offer to let Jared and Don build a tower in Tehran, huh?

Yes, yes, and god hell no.

He didn’t think anything was amiss when the sushi wholesaler told he was going to need a bigger boat?

They’ve figured out how to juice recruiting even more.

I think this is a FANTASTIC plan — but I think it could be improved upon. Hear me out: what if instead of building it on the moon and using it to launch satellites, we build it here on earth, and use it to yeet Elon Musk into the sun?

Well, THAT sure makes me feel better!

Move along now folks, nothing to see here. 🤦🏼‍♂️

“Thank you for that insight, Secretary. Here’s a bag full of pure CO2; why don’t you place it over your head and breath only that for, say, 20 minutes? What’s that? … No?”

Seems like a nice fellow, that guy. 🙄

I’m very sorry. What a happy, loved boy he clearly was.

Oddly enough, when we were kids my parents left me and/or my sisters with friends while they traveled on several occasions — for several weeks at a time. I don’t think anyone required to ask if they got us all back.

But then again, our family friends weren’t rapey pedophiles. Go figure.

Yeah, Noem’s worse because he’s just rich and doesn’t care; she’s actively trying to rise on this.

It’s been almost 20 years (!!) and yet still I get this intense longing to do it again at least once a month.

If it’s a pre-holiday meal, why do you even need serving plates: just put it in the fucking containers you’re gonna store it in!

Also, I put olives in taco pie – but that’s an entire entirely different white people thing.
