At my first job out of school, one of my co-workers got to pay for the birth of their child out of pocket because his wife’s pregnancy was a ‘pre-existing condition’. Wheeeee!

DEI is just the new “Woke” in that it means whatever they say it means. 

For whatever reason, the US press was really really good at hiding how truly bad Covid was here. Some nurse friends, one traveling, had horror stories the entire time. Many many hospitals had to fight to get refrigerated trucks to store the bodies before funeral homes could pick them up.

They have lots of sand to bury their heads in, though!

As long as I can change mine to NCC-1701. That old lady in NY isn’t getting harassed enough!

It seems unwise to wish death on a petty, vindictive shithead with a penchant for abusing the Justice department.

I wood have chopped a log in my pants.

Birch, *please*. Sort your puns out, or yew’ll feel my palm, fir real.

It that was me filming, I maple off the road, cedar are no injuries, and make sure everyone is oak-ay.

Police did release a video of the driver:

I’m calling fake, we all know from the movies that any vehicle that goes over a cliff immediately explodes into a nuclear grade fireball often while still in midair.
