This may seem like a silly suggestion, but it might be a good idea to buy a dictionary and a thesaurus. “Words mean things” is kind of a Meme, but if AI and fascists continue to destroy access to accurate information, printed dictionaries and thesauruses could become more useful.

Y’all notice how we’re not having the whole “don’t speak ill of the dead,” conversation about Robert Redford…? It’s because he was an actual good man that left a positive mark on the world.

If there was a crime named suicide by Erin Fogg where u call me on the phone when you want to die and there's a damn good chance that I would come kill you, I probably wouldn't get 60-80% of every localities' entire budget every year plus annual increases actually, to hire more Erins Fogg

Fun fact: Jesus curing a leper is a biblical example of a guy just straight up defying the orders of Jesus. Even in his own book, they ignored his commands.

Yeah, the Lord Jesus didn't fear leprosy BECAUSE HE COULD MIRACULOUSLY CURE LEPROSY. Most of us? We can't do that!

The evidence didn't matter before Kirk got shot. The evidence won't matter now he's dead. We can't be having these conversations with the right over violence as if they are held in good faith.

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Let's be extremely clear here: the only source I've seen for ANY of these claims is the governor of Utah. That's it. No one actually went and talked to "family and friends," they just heard the governor SAY that they said these things. Completely abandoning any journalistic integrity left.
