“One day, I’ll find and imprison all these people for hurting my feelings with their mean, mean words. Then I’ll have someone hurt them.”

Galactose brain? Something there?

“With a slightly shitty starter.”

There’s just Caitlyn, coming by afterhours to cheerily break it to everyone that they have to go in the corner, and they’ll be tased into submission every other Thursday so it can be hosed out.

Don’t forget “the antifa.”

I’m sure they’ll do their best to drive it into the dirt. I am now curious about the union participation among the other sites that Splinter was making such a big deal of on their end. And also concerned because I really like The Root and Gizmodo.

I’d bet that’s a component of it, but it’s also worth remembering that part of the reason (for some women) that they’re doing that stuff instead of going with a way more basic cut like you or I get is a set of social conventions and expectations around their appearance. So, for my wife, if she rolled into my place and…

Yes. I go to a moderately-nice place (they do straight-razor shaves that really keep your neckline clean for way longer), and it costs $20-$40, depending, for a haircut/face trim. My wife goes to a moderately-nice place for cut and color, and it generally costs in the neighborhood of what AOC is apparently paying.…

I like to do the ol’ ctrl+v and keep it in the clipboard to paste in to my next recipe.

I said it elsewhere, but he tanked the Iran treaty and put them back under sanctions (which hurt some, I think, but not as bad as the previous system), and the U.S. economy, which went from strong (if poorly distributed and unequal) growth to “When is the next recession happening?”

Leaving aside how horrifying our government’s hanging the Kurds out to dry just after they’ve wrapped up a successful campaign against fucking ISIS, and the weirdness of his self-aggrandizement, because I really just can’t think of anything else to say on those:

One of them was slick enough to help with the Agnew conspiracy and Iran-Contra and came out of those without getting much on him. The other one could barely stop self-owning long enough to commit war crimes.

I thought they set up some rules back in the 90s, when Republicans were real into impeachment for things like “lying under oath.”

The really screwed up thing is that (from what I’ve heard) this event was the catalyst for a lot of the real intense voter suppression and other Jim Crow laws that sprang up at the time. So, not only is it extremely significant because “armed mobs overthrew an elected government and the rest of the country just went…

If they don’t look like pale Boss Nass, they can’t be trusted.

Can confirm, no part of this was taught in North Carolina K-12 schools while I was there. There was some information (with poor context) given on Reconstruction, and then they sort of handwaved a couple decades of state history and suddenly it was the 1920s.

God willing, this will be the dumbest thing any of us will read today.

The realists are mostly laughing at the idea that a centrist is going to win over any significant number of Republican or conservative voters at this point, and noting that progressive candidates have comparable poll numbers to Uncle Joe.

It really should be surprising that they’re going to raise hell over a 1% tax increase on their fucking genie treasure/dragon hoards, and assume that a lot of people aren’t going to then do the math and go “Oh, so, this will impact you less than when I give $20 to my local rescue mission so they can feed children,…

It’s a wealthy guy, backed by wealthy guys, hiring someone to undermine protections that increase quality of life for people they don’t give a shit about so they can make more money.
