Tell me you don’t know a fucking thing about France without telling me you don’t know a fucking thing about France.
Actually… “the bread thing” was posted by a woman.

There’s not even enough coherency to call it incoherent. It’s just flailing gibberish trying to cover up his ignorance.
You suck at this.
I can’t find the lie in this.
In response to people pointing out his error, the court jester is doubling down. “Ceauşescu persecuted the minority Roma, therefore there’s no distinction between Roma and Romanians, checkmate libtards.” What an absolute knob.
Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
“Straight bathhouse” is just a schvitz. That’s a schvitz with added wellness woo.
It is very American, because we have shit mass transit. I take trains whenever possible, but it’s rarely possible and, outside of the Acela corridor (basically DC to Boston), not dependable. I live in St. Louis, which is a five-hour drive to Chicago. The train takes longer, often MUCH longer.
I worked at a pet store when I was in college in Tampa and they had one of these guys in the store for a week or two at one point. Super cute, very friendly, probably illegal as hell nowadays!

I love stories with happy endings.
One of my favorite follows here but in book form!
nothing like a saturday of labor day weekend newsdump, but no time like the present: I wrote a book, and it’s available for pre-purchase! linktr.ee/artbutmakeit...
I can
Yes. They’re called “sad lonely people”.
I mean… maybe? But the fact that you have to ask means it’s not a particularly iconic depiction of a phoenix, right?
Friends, for your Friday, here's a new image of planets being born.
It’s bad but still lags San Francisco in shite-flag ratings, imo, like wtf is that creature?
The child has a point. I’m disappointed you failed to appreciate the significance of said booty.
Theres really no point to scrolling your phone waiting to hear about the day it happens, if you are a Real American and live in a decent sized city you'll know from horns honking, fireworks, people spontaneously hollering, passing out drinks, etc
Go back to Bush I. That dude should have served life for treason. He literally sold arms to an enemy state that was actively seeking to kill Americans at the time. To me, Iran-Contra and Oliver North’s smirking mug and the conservative defense of their lawlessness was the first open step to here.
Okay now it sounds different in my head but I still hear it 😂
The token guy in charge of HUD. I mean, they might never tell that guy.
What an amazing photo! I’ve never seen that one before, thanks!
Boston?
Okay, my 101-year-old grandfather is really enjoying the responses he’s gotten here, so I’ve finally convinced him to let me share something he’s been working on for years; a series of sculptures he calls “Trumpinnochios.” Here’s one of his best. I’ll share a few more in this thread.
Came to ask the same. Like… to consume their adrenochrome? Have sex with? Is he saying Elon’s kids are Jewish? W. T. A. F.
Omg I didn’t get it but now I do thank you 🙏
god i should've just blogged it. why didn't i blog it. read this
I’ve spent two weeks thinking carefully about this, and I’m going to do my best to explain the theory of change for RFK’s removal, as I see it. That includes where impeachment fits, what to ask from House vs Senate, etc.
Why bother fuxx0r’ing ballot initiatives? They just ignore them anyway.
It is of course extremely important to put front and center that Robert E. Lee was literally a traitor and he was a traitor on behalf of the institution of slavery which he strongly supported. But in the battles we have over public memory - which is what the statues and portraits and base names ...
Tell your buddy @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to start impeachment proceedings. If RFK Jr. doesn't deserve to be impeached, no one does. And it doesn't matter that it won't succeed. Make Republicans defend him.
The Pultes are an organized crime ring masquerading as a family.

If you’re gonna write nonsense, at least write fun nonsense. This is just garbage.
In the Battle of the Logo, Cracker Barrel honored its Confederate past by retreating.
Do you even read the stuff you're publishing or do you just barf out a constant river of idiocy?
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
I know he's a real person but it feels very uncanny valley with the bizarre lip syncing and looking around at people who aren't there.

Do you know what words are?
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
This is art #SFGiants
Idiot.
I think the “night-club-ization” of the event has probably ruined it, though.
Yeah I’ve heard it’s changed a lot but when I was there it was pretty amazing. Not enough for me to go through all the hassle again, obviously, but still an experience that I’ll always remember. Lots of weird people doing weird people shit, in the best way.
Who’s the snowflake now, eh?
This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto Mesías Zárate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis
Well, it actually is, or was at least: I haven’t been in over 20 years, but dust storms and high winds are just part of the environment. This type of thing happens all the time there. It’s like complaining because there are mosquitoes when you go camping in Florida. I mean, no shit.
I think about this James Baldwin quote a lot, especially now. “The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”
Counterpoint: no, she can’t and she won’t.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
Depends on what makes you *satisfied*, I guess
What you're saying is that your quackometer reading is quite high.
I think he's AI-generated.
A grand total of 56,836 people on the island and they thought they'd just slide in without anyone noticing.
Not in my experience, but I don't live there so maybe I just missed it 😂
YES!!! I so want this broch to be built. Go support this project if you can. Maybe one day we can have a wild Iron Age party in there, I'll bring mead :) www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/buy-the-br...
It's quite a bit less hell-ish nowadays. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27...
I have something to tell you about fear and democracy, politics and ultimate reality. I hope you'll stick with me, because it starts in a rather inobvious place.
What the hell is wrong with you idiots? Stop. Agreeing. With. Them. I do not give money to any Democratic organizations precisely so that appeasing dipshits like you guys don't get any support from me.
lol
lol, great response. Thanks for proving that you're a shitty lawyer.
Which is why I said you're probably not a very good lawyer, because words have meaning and saying the "[t]he Appellate Division voted 5-0 just last week that the judgment of the lower court had to be set aside" is incorrect by your own assertion that "part of the judgment" was set aside.
And you know that taking away part of the judgment means that the part of the judgment where four judges say Trump committed fraud still stands, right? So yes I do know that, but I'm weird about language, where setting aside *part* of the judgment is not "setting aside the judgment".
So 4 of them voted to affirm fraud. The amount awarded was deemed too high, but they affirmed he committed fraud. Thank you for confirming my point.
And Clarence Thomas actually gave away everything he owns and never left his bathroom. GTFOH.
Waterloo. If you close your eyes I'm a tall blonde Swedish woman. With a very husky voice. Don't open your eyes.
No they didn't. You're not a very GOOD lawyer, are you?
If the @democrats.org want to know why their support and fundraising is cratering, look no further than this cowardly bullshit. Did David Shor focus-group this for you? @kenmartin.bsky.social there’s a reason you have no leader swagger: you’re not a leader.
They’re very thin pixies!
Those are actually crenellations to provide cover to the pixie archers who live in the hedge behind it.
I know.
Sorry. I don’t realize you were making a banal and unrelated point.
The OP. Your response is that burning a flag is significant because it represents something while someone’s post does not, implying that there’s some kind of harm in burning it. If there is no harm then the distinction is meaningless and your post is pointless.
So what harm was caused?
What harm?
Also rejects non-https addresses, which are quite common on back-end servers when SSL termination is done on a front-end proxy (e.g. nginx, HAProxy, etc.). This is very common with institutional firewalls.
That metaphor implies that you scored a lot in the beginning.
To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
Especially because the people who wrote the older constitutional order specifically and explicitly designed that order to provide for a president who couldn’t act untethered from most legal and constitutional limits.
It’s a point I now understand. I misread David’s original reply. Basically everyone was piling on the “Cuomo is a life-long Dem” guy.
Who the hell lives their life to be "anti-wind"? What the hell is wrong with them?
Like I said, you're still a knob. You should definitely take my word for that.
The thing that disturbs me most about DC isn't the military pageantry or even the bursts of federal violence. It's the emptiness. The strange, dead silence. People should not be afraid to come to America's capital, see the sights, and have dinner afterwards They didn't used to be. They are now.
I grew up around white rednecks and they sure af used that expression.
Sorry, I misread your post then. Had it backwards.
I misunderstood what David said. Which is pretty easy to do. And you’re still a knob.
“Life-long Dem” means that he would be a Democrat anywhere on that time line, so yes I understand “linear time”, you knob, but apparently you don’t, since you seem to think this is a clever response.
Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.
Exhibit A in my “Andrew Cuomo is no longer a Democrat” grand-jury presentation: bsky.app/profile/pete...
So the difference is that Trump is cutting taxes for billionaires and Democrats wanted to “shakedown” the rich by raising their taxes. Got it. I knew there was a good reason I’m a Democrat.
No Democrats use the term “critical theory”. Actually there are a *lot* of these terms that actual real-world Democrats don’t use, but “critical theory” in particular is only (mis)used by the right.
