Well, he got his 15 minutes of infamy anyway.
My shero of this Labor Day: Florence Reece
Also surveys. I’m so sick of being asked 11 questions that envelop the gamut of my opinions regarding my sandwich-maker’s efforts to fulfill my deepest, lifelong ideals of what a chicken club should be.
DOH!
So. Hip-hop scratching finally moved on to the next medium.
Like, who the fuck would pay a cover charge to sit and yak with friends?! Just go to a regular bar. Or, better yet, one o’ y’all’s houses.
So many people seem to think jazz was invented as music you can talk over 😡
This suggests you have a better explanation for the pervasiveness of Gideons’ Bibles in m/hotels….
Not that Sir McCartney *is* Welsh, you understand. But I’m sure he’s a big fan. It’s a given. No?
I think possibly you do not speak Welsh, in which “Biddly-bot scoop mad-a-dooly hep ba-coo” translates to such a sublime characterization of the human condition that the rest of humanity is rendered into jelly brains.
Do you ever look at the moon and marvel at how far away it has to be to orbit Earth *so* slowly, given the immense masses of these two orbs?! I mean… look at it! It barely seems to be moving at all! Then again, I’m judging that against the rotation of the Earth in the same direction, dizzyingly….
I have literally never heard that in my life. Are you a visitor from the 1940s?
And when I felt anger at being called a "n!gger-lover" you think I was just being chippy?! Walk a mile in another man's shoes sometime, my friend.
I really don't think they ever did. Nothing in the text of the Constitution suggests that. The framers thought they'd put in sufficient protections against tyranny with elections and checks-n-balances. 2A was solely to defend ourselves against foreign invasion, because at that time we had no army.
I’m not sure what you’re saying. You think it was reverse racism that *I* (a white guy) experienced at the hands of… other… white… people?!
Hell, he tortured Lot for years just to win a bet with Satan. You know… the guy whose inferiority to God is supposed to be self-evident.
I used to think this way until I dated a Black woman and began to experience the racism (against us, as a couple) firsthand.
Again and again, I see Black people outperforming whites in the class department. I wonder if it’s because they’ve had to fight so hard to overcome discrimination that they’ve begun to realize that for generations they did things analogous to Grace Kelly’s “backwards and in heels.”
Exacta mundo
Home-grown or go home.
Farsi?
I really think they'll do the "end 'round" of flipping the ticket with Vance at the top, then having him resign after taking office.
Well, there ya go; just what I proposed.
“Lydia” is a he? This gender stuff is getting too complicated. How ‘bout we just do away with it altogether?
Infinite. The answer is: infinite. Because *lots* have died already, yet the foul teamwork between capitalistic manufacturers and jingoistic politicians controls the country.
Atelier: “a workshop or studio, especially one used by an artist, artisan, or designer. The term can also refer to a business, like a restaurant or a resort, or media, like a video game series and a TV show.” So, just about anything then 🙄
They got one thing right: The best part is coming.
Me too. Except for the inexplicable use of a plural pronoun in reference to a single, necessarily gendered person, a practice which has often been employed to express ambiguity in gender.
HaHaHaHaHaHa!!! Oh, Robby 😅😂🤣
The erosion of jobs seems like a predictable outcome of technological progress. www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/questioning-...
Why would you insult punks so?!
The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is planning to use the US military to invade US cities that vote Democratic because, in addition to raping children, two things that animate him most are rectifying narcissistic injury and hating Black people. Call your reps 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump
It’s like no one cares whether or not martial law is instituted.
That might just be your best foto. Of the ones I’ve seen, at least.
There’s a reason the ‘M’ in “MILF” is capitalized 😏
Molting is natural so… painless (?) Maybe it’s like a hair coming off a mammal naturally 😕
It’s all relative, I guess 🤷🏼♂️
I think he was talking about rawdawging women in the 80s.
Reich-Takei 2028 ^Dream ticket
Who thinks judging anything by how FauxNews would handle it is a legit evaluation? 🙃
In your expert opinion, would you say she came up a bit short in the omniscience category?
As if that even existed….
Fucking exhausting exercising all this free will.*
Incredible illustration of the truth of the microcosm
Wow! *Almost* incredible! (I wouldn’t put any level of corrupt barbarism past these goons.)
A friend went to a deer-hunting camp with a bunch of cops circa 2013. They spoke openly of being members of some rightwing paramilitary group organizing across the South to depose Obama—violently, probably. Of course, no balls to activate their “plan,” but there must’ve been other psycho outcomes.
Shane Fontayne isn’t defenseless—he carries an axe!
Jason really did his papa proud, and the choir truly elevated the performance toward Heaven. But that guitar solo was a disgrace (IMO).
And would he propose that we keep the cap on benefits payments at $5108?
Twenty. Five. Percent!
It occurs to me that wealth disparity is a type of AI. It’s a self-propagating system that, unchecked, operates by positive feedback and persuades the rich and poor alike to follow its rules and magnify its extent, each end of the spectrum just cogs in the wheel.
Better: “An example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more.”
There is *one* sense in which he is the "fertility president":
There's a fix for "Lawfare": Don't do crimes. Fucker.
Grok said as much when I asked.
The totally awful, terrible stuff just keeps piling on 😩
A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.
Here’s what I’m struggling with: The claim is that lithium orotate is a good salt because it doesn’t ionize well and thus limits how much Li+ can get stuck in plaques. But that would also limit the amount of Li+ available to inhibit GSK3 or inositol monophosphatase. Six o’ one, half a dozen d’other?
Reverses or prevents? That’s a *very* important distinction.
Thank you—that’s encouraging. But I’m still worried. Those who’ve worked out the numbers predict the GOP would pick up more seats than Dems would.
Another sign that I’m living in a universe different from the one I grew up in: I’m now told that the official “pound” in the U.S. is the pound avoirdupois, a measure of mass, not weight. Did my physics profs lie, or did we all live in a different reality then? One where DJT could never be elected?
For me, the real distraction was when he ceded Alaska back to Russia.
Hmmm, Washington D.C. barely even made the list....
Math trumps morals, I'm afraid. There are more red states than blue ones.* It will also be harder to change the laws in blue states. In a gerrymandering arms race, the Dems lose. For the rest of time. (*Years ago, I tried to warn all the libs who began emigrating from 30 red states to 3 blue ones.)
Okay, to be fair, we can't lose seats in AK, AR, ND, SD, ID, IA, NE, OK, UT, and WV. They're 100% Republican as is. But you see my point: The GOP controls more real estate and a larger number of states. When the gloves come off, the math doesn't look good for Dems.
Alright, so we win in NY and CA. What else? We lose seats in AK, ID, UT, NV, AZ, ND, SD, NE, KS, OK, TX, IA, MO, AR, LA, TN, MS, IN, KY, AL, OH, WV, NC, SC, GA, and FL. Does that sound like what you want?
Let's have a thought experiment.... Republicans control 26 state legislatures and Democrats control 18. So if all those states rig their districts, who wins the House? And recall the Senate score: 53-45. GOP hegemony is the consequence of all those Dems leaving many red states for a few blue ones.
“How do I stand? Is this right?” “Almost. Just put your feet more like this.” “What about my hands? What do I do with my hands?” “Beats me. I’ve never figured that one out.”
So entitled!
Why don’t we just ask AI how to solve the problem of wealth disparity? Oh, wait….
Raise your hand if you think you’ve ever gotten a buzz off a cocktail. I have a sneaking suspicion that “mixed drinks” were created so the establishment can trick you into paying for alcohol they don’t actually put in the glass.
I never really thought of Oligarch as a racial group. But I suppose it makes as much sense as the set of traits that defines any other race.
I don’t think we need a metaphor for the presumption of a causal relationship where no mechanism exists for such causality.
“At the end of you” sounds a bit like a threat itself.
My parenting style has more to do with guiding the development of my kids’ values than reinforcing the bad ones. I’ve also tried to set a good example in the discipline of spelling. Or does “Geoff” evince an Anglophile affectation?
No, you actually did misuse the idiom. The meaning is right there in the word “goal.” An opinion or policy position isn’t necessarily a goal. What you were criticizing was just an inconsistency.
It boggles my mind that anyone believes karma is real. We are such superstitious apes.
Who are *you* to define my needs?! Oh. My actual need, it turns out 🤷🏼♂️
Sounds pretty fun tbh 😏
The ghost of Andy Kaufman told me to show up in a luchador mask and challenge her to rassle.
You know it’s a hard bird by the ankle monitor.
Ummm… Say wut now?
How the hell does someone get to her station in life thinking it's the "noble" peace prize?! www.youtube.com/shorts/WY2pE...
Piece Of Totally Useless Shit I mean, you couldn't even use that asshole for fertilizer.
OK, for the sake of argument, how does this save her skin? Who among the troglodytes traditionally supporting her would find this (feigned?) sensitivity appealing? Who among the reasonable would-be supporters she might woo could forgive her for kowtowing to the GOP for so long?
Sometimes I wonder what twist in patriarchal values allowed some nations—notably England—to occasionally follow a queen. Crazy that Israel—currently vying for one of the most barbaric governments on the planet—was led by Golda Meir, and the U.S. is still rejecting presidential candidates for trivia.
Seems odd to speak of something that "already happened" if you posit that the nature of time means that events don't actually "happen."
Well, there is this:
A rat fink in his salad days:
He was always so sure he was right, dammit.
A university scientist who discovered alarming levels of toxic chemicals in a lake in southeastern Louisiana was abruptly removed from her research position this week without explanation
So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated? We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.
*With a registered sex offender!*
Brilliant assessment!
Because there’s only one type of person he wants to see enriching himself off of public service: a petulant, vindictive, amoral, lying, orange rapist.
