Sean Connery's James Bond was a straight-up rapist. If you disagree, watch "Thunderball" or "Goldfinger."
I'm glad I didn't lose TOO much weight: my BMI is just high enough to qualify for this fall's COVID shot.
It's called a Honey Deuce because it's sweet and you will shit when you see how much it costs.
"In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, hovered for an instant like a bluebottle, and darted away again with a curving flight. It was the police patrol, snooping into people’s windows. The patrols did not matter, however. Only the Thought Police mattered." -Orwell, "1984"
I use YouTubeTV, but my local Fox station won't be affected. If it were, I also have an antenna to watch their football games on Sundays. Thanks to YouTubeTV's customizable channel guide, neither Fox "News" nor any other Fox channels appear on my screen anyway.
As someone who works in mental health, you shouldn't say that to people.
Drop your pants and check your ding dong! (I use Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap to make sure MY ding dong is clean and minty fresh).
Perfect DNC moment; finish call with wife, run into James Zogby, start talking to him about Gaza resolutions then realize he's with Omar Fateh bc they're going to dinner.
“The 61,740 pounds of cocaine represent 23 million potentially lethal doses. That’s enough to fatally overdose the entire population of the state of Florida,” (61740 lb * 453 g/lb) / 23,000,000 people = 1.216 g / person Have they BEEN to Florida? That's not even enough to keep them awake all night.
After leaving the door open and losing the contents of my upright freezer, I got temp sensors for both my freezers that beep and alert me through an app. Nobody told me the self-defrost heat would set them off twice a day. I had to set a 22 minute delay in the app, which kinda defeats the purpose...
Bear Week approacheth
I think Trump was hoping for riots this summer and when they didn't happen he just went ahead and deployed the Guard anyway.

This video is old, corny, lame... and worth watching anyway. It only takes a second to cause, or sustain, a life-altering injury. youtu.be/EX--0zqaflg
I'm glad I joined Sparky's List: I get the cartoon sooner, and in higher resolution! thismodernworld.com/archives/9217
If you’re ever using a public restroom, and someone tries to open the door, a fun thing to yell is, “SANTA?”
Millions of Americans are about to be destroyed by premium hikes & few know it’s about to happen because the politician/media distraction machine is immersing us in rage-bait about Sydney Sweeney jeans ads & Cracker Barrel. Idiocracy was a documentary.
I signed up in 2021 due to disability & divorce, cashed in her 401(k) in 2023 to buy this house, and had to repay over $8K in April '24. Then, I got SSDI & Medicare last fall, and had to repay $7200 with my taxes this April. Actual medical expenses would have been under $5K total for both years.
Grace just sent this me this tok of a woman accidentally recording her cat in slow motions, and I am SOBBING from laughing so hard
We’ve got armored personnel carriers roaming the streets of DC, “investigations” of political enemies, masked secret police brutalizing immigrants and U.S. citizens, SCOTUS rubber-stamping unconstitutional orders, GOP reps gerrymandering at the president’s order. America is an authoritarian state.

“I gave my life to Christ in the Cracker Barrel parking lot” sounds like the filthiest euphemism I have ever heard.
You have a dirty mind, sir. I approve.

Some good news to report today: James Dobson dies; leaves legacy as influential, at times controversial, fake Christian leader that helped fuck up the separation of church and state. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
James Dobson, AKA Goatse, has died at the age of 89.

Someone at James Dobson's house is burning an 8mm tape they found in a safe.
I just read "1984," for about the hundredth time.
And we keep them right alongside the "Pee Pee" tapes! #KompromatCollections 🇷🇺
Omg. Who did this?
I lost all the food in my upright freezer a few months ago when I didn't close the door properly. I just invested $33 in remote temperature sensors to help keep it from happening again.
We ALWAYS honor our commitments. Ask any Kurd... or Afghan translator... or ARVN officer.

Reboot Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” but with Alan Dershowitz and the whole show is just enjoying him never getting food because he’s a querulous, joyless douche and he’s constantly demanding that the Laotian street vendor or whoever denounce Hamas before he’ll try the khao jee
🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️
For six months right after Bleach was released, I played saxophone in Nirvana.

Welcome to Filthydelphia!
I married a Russian woman in 2001. When she got to the USA, I took her to apply for a Social Security number. We were the only White people in the crowded office. I said, "Check there for 'Caucasian.'" She snapped, "I am NOT a Caucasian!" Everybody froze and stared at us. I said, "Well, y'are now!"

Congratulations, sir! Appearing on South Park is an honor, indeed. Not only have you "finally made it", you had the best line of dialogue in the show. Good luck with your love of furniture and your continuing EPSTEIN Cover-Up, Mar🐫
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com The consistent and widespread nature of witness accounts while in Russian custody “have led me to the conclusion that it can only be a systemic, state-endorsed practice approved at the highest levels,” Alice Edwards, the U.N. special rapporteur on torture, writes.
Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”
Seriously, fuck off. I say that with all due gravity.

Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue. I’m lying about being 215 pounds and being 6’2.
Melania Trump did this to the White House rose garden so her husband couldn't bury her there.

In my state, I would engage the shooter (and probably get killed). In Manhattan, I'd be unarmed, so I'd run like hell.
Confirmed: HK still doesn't offer any 10mm pistols. I'm a pessimist. Arizona has few bears, and fewer moose, but I carry a Glock 29 anyway with three 15-round G20 magazines. If I can't get out of a jam with 46 rounds of Underwood full-power 10mm, I truly suck at life.
Keep it coming Matt and Trey! 👏
I just want it to work. Besides, last time I checked, they didn't make it in 10mm Auto.
Get yourself a Glock. Get rid of that nickel-plated sissy pistol. (Not quite kidding. If you actually want a pistol, Glock is THE most reliable. I'm disabled... I carry because I can't flee or use karate).
Excellent job, as usual... and I got to see it early because of Sparky's List! Such a bargain...
Can you please help me get this story out? Please share, email, text, Signal, sky write, snail mail everyone you know. This is the first, but it won’t be the last. wellsrachelm.substack.com/p/pregnant-w...
My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.
Very sorry to hear about the death of Tom Lehrer at age 97. The cleverest, funniest singer/songwriter of all time, even if he lost interest in the whole business pretty quickly? www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIlJ...

SCUMBAG CRIMINAL Trump gets away with it AGAIN.
My reporting has produced clear evidence that Jeffrey Epstein provided Donald Trump with underage sex slaves. You can read all about it in my new book to be published by Harper-Collins in March 2029.
Those South Park guys just showed us how politics is downstream of culture
South Park skewered Trump last night! youtu.be/Afetnw70S04
What do the bad guys all have in common? They all wear masks.
This is why I stay on social media.

It's hard to read this shit, but I hope everyone involved in ICE gets contagious bone cancer and gives it to their family.
If JD Vance were a true Catholic instead of defending Trump he would simply assign him to be President of another country

🚨BREAKING: Prince Andrew is now free to travel internationally after the FBI quietly shut down its investigation into his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. No charges. No accountability. Just a royal hall pass.

As temperatures soar this summer, some county residents are asking a question that state Sen. Carl Jackson has for years: Why doesn’t Baltimore County have a public pool?
This take is also my take. Their day is coming. Not as soon as we'd like, but it is coming. 💥 Thank you rickbeneteau!
The Emperor has no clothes. Neither do the underage girls with the emperor in those dozens of photos the FBI has.

Trust me, young man: wash it liberally and often with Fels Naptha soap and leave the suds on for a few minutes. The itching will be reduced, and the blisters will dry up within a day or so. Some "experts" say it's a myth, but I'm highly allergic to that evil weed... I PROMISE you it will work!
