This right here. Anyone who thinks what the supreme court is doing here will end at abortion rights, they are wrong, wrong, wrong. The United States is on a very dark path that will entail rolling back the civil rights we have enjoyed for just 2 short generations (and for some, even less than that).

I fully expect red states will soon begin passing legislation making it a crime to wear a mask in public.

I’ve heard quite few say that Musk is trying to get the kid tracking his flights booted from the platform. So why not buy the service to do it himself? That totally tracks with how a narcissistic, man-child billionaire would spend his money.

I mean, I get it, it sucks that gas prices are high and how that effects every segment of the economy. But, ‘cmon, we built this house knowing full, fucking well that we are relying on a form of energy that is volatile in price and availability due to pretty much anything that could happen (e.g. war, terrorism, oil…

Love that bit of context. Very appropriate. Cruz is definitely a Frank Burns.

It was Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) on Twitter: “I will say this again having worked with Ted Cruz in 2000 campaign: when people asked me why do folks take such an instant dislike to cruz, my answer was it saves time.”

The difference there is that 99.9% of their constituents don’t have a fuckin’ clue about any of those nominees, or that they even existed. It is a whole different ballgame when it comes to the Supreme Court.

Walker County, where Parrish is located, voted 86% for Trump in 2020. That was up from 83% in 2016. I would say it is quite appropriate for a load of shit to fester there.

I think it is fairly safe to say that The Mandalorian would never have existed without Boba Fett. It is Fett’s character in Empire who brought attention to Mandalorians and inspired the further elaboration of their culture in subsequent literature. So, at the very least Fett should be given credit for that and his…

If defamation were based solely on what Americans know and care about, there would be very little protection at all.

You know, if they held onto all those cars nobody was driving for a year at the start of the pandemic this wouldn’t be happening. But because of the demands of our economic system they dumped the cars and now we pay for it. That’s how the system works and we can bitch about it as much as we want, but in the end, it is…

It is important to put this into perspective, especially in relation to the countries to which this is compared. In other countries, public health is something that the government takes care of. In the United States, public health is not something the government takes care of. It is something the government has never…

I tried the VPN route with CBC and BBC last winter olympics and it didn’t work. The one before that it worked like a charm, but it seems they figured out how to block people coming in via VPN. Or at least that was my experience. Which sucks because their coverage is so much better than NBC. NBC coverage is absolutely…

The only chance these assholes have of winning elections is by making sure as many Americans hate each other as possible. I would like to assume that at some point it would turn out to bite them in the ass, but it doesn’t appear like we are getting there, if that point exists at all.

They are aiming for this cryto to be the confederate currency of modern times.

There are certainly those who are conned by his bullshit. But I’m fairly certain that the majority of them are not. They know exactly what they are getting and they go along with it because he represents everything they want to be and everything they are. Every horrible, hate-filled, petty, fail-your-way-up, racist…

Sounds like a cheap way for Kraft Heinz to get out of doing the work themselves.

Conservatives love nothing more than playing victim. Of course they shame anyone else who they deem to be “playing victim,” but when it comes to them, you won’t hear the end of how they are persecuted and cancelled and all that other bullshit that isn’t true.

Here’s Dick Clark promoting hot Dr. Pepper ca. 1968:

I dunno. We need to make sure women are forced to give birth so we have enough children to slaughter in classrooms.
