Like, you hate Latinos so much you want to reverse migrate to some small bog land and eat crispy tacos with ketchup and olives?

Why do these small-minded people want to live in this miserable future that would be the obvious result of their stupid ideas?

They should end daylight saving time at 4 pm on a Monday.

I love the idea of a billionaires grotto. Also the free 24-hour-access God Telescope.
The twin 214-foot antennae is a great idea but they should see if it’s feasible to do one 214 feet high and make the other 972 feet (on the machine side).

Time from walking into the building to getting my machine was 2 hours 15 minutes. Then another 10 minutes to vote for 1,000 races and props, review and say yes I’m sure, then yes I really am sure please print, yes for fuck’s sake print, and finally are you kidding me yes Jesus god print it.

If the idea behind shutting down so many Black neighborhood polling places was to discourage their voting, it is backfiring big time, if the turnout here and the conversations I’m having and overhearing are any indication.

Been in line to vote almost an hour and a half, and there are still about 50 people in front of me at Daniel Webster Elementary. Everyone here is punchy from the wait but it’s a fun and determined atmosphere, strangers talking. I don’t even want to think about what November will be like.

You’re not mistaken in your understanding of how our media presented it, though, which is how they do any issue no matter how complex: distill it to 15-20 words simplified to a 10-year-old’s reading capacity, then interpret it from the most conservative possible viewpoint.

The people who lived through 9/11 and Iraq are approaching their 40s-50s and they’re still treated like immature kids who aren’t worth listening to. We were right motherfuckers, and we’re right to say it

The least human thing you can do I read a story just now about a man in Chicago who saved a baby after its carriage had been blown into the harbor by heavy gusts of wind. Lio Cundiff – who is a trans man not that it should matter her...

Expecting us – with good reason based on history – to all thank them for their service. Fuck your service and fuck you.

Saving a life is brave. Being instructed to kill and saying no I will not do that is brave. But killing like this? It is the least human thing you can do.

As an obsessed Patriot fan, I’ve been looking forward to DTF St. Louis for months. Loved the premiere episode last night. The dynamic between the two investigators was a flashback to Agathe versus the Department of Tough Cool Guys. Off to a good start. Here we go, here we go, here we go.

My mom gave me one leftover Raisin’ Cane chicken finger, which I couldn’t just eat like a grownup so I tried to recreate the sauce. Ended up something like 2 parts mustard, 2 mayo, 1 sriracha, 1 honey, and some black pepper. Pretty close from my memory. Good, anyway.

Malcolm got upset at the description of the corpse’s bulging eyes and asked to stop. The last one was from a cat’s POV and opened with its litter mate being killed by rats. That should have tipped me off that I need to start skimming the books before incorporating them into his bedtime routine.

My daughter left her old story books with cute animals on the cover. We’ve been reading them with Malcolm till The Red Dog. Gold-mad murderers try to steal a frontier family’s land. Had to stop when a victim is run through with a spear & pinned to a tree. A dog is mentioned every few chapters. WTF

Who am I kidding. 1/1,000th the reward.

Did the person who came up with this confuse tacos with burritos? This is one normal night, 8 hours of sleep, three breakfast tacos, less than a half marathon and then a rather overindulgent lunch and early dinner. I could probably do twice these numbers for 1/50th the reward.

Two different former friends of my wife, who wanted her to go on girls trips where they cheated on their boyfriends and tried to talk her into cheating on me, both now quote bible verses on their Instagrams hahaha. They have mastered the Nice Christian Girl smiles.

Do the kids not appreciate All the President’s Men humor?

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

“Who won on Kalshi,” says the dimly lit man in the parking lot to the two investigative reporters, who know their source only as “Heather.”

“Who were the Kalshi and Polymarket winners?” is the “Follow the money” of Trump Era journalism.

Ultimate SOTU Drinking Game: Take a drink every time you want to, or don’t, and watch literally anything else or nothing instead.

Maybe they’ll even later reveal most of them wore t-shirts that said something like “Good Trouble” or “Ruthkanda forever,” under their suits.

It’s gonna be so inspiring how the Dem congress members show true leadership and resistance to the murderous fascist regime during the SOTU by making mad faces and not clapping too often.

These people delude themselves into thinking the guy who 50 years ago was seen as a buffoonish real estate swindler pig and who has only devolved to become stupider, crueler and more narcissistic will somehow rise to the occasion. But … it might work for us.
