texture on the Misriah casing that reads “KILL FOR MOMMY…”

good morning this is a real texture in Marathon

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

what the fuck is happening

The top-two primary needs to be abolished. Every election cycle it leads to races where one party risks getting shut out of a general election it would likely win.

It forces parties to pick favorites in primaries just to avoid shutouts. It fails to do what its proponents intended—often the opposite

[guy who asked the computer to create the most racist electoral maps in history]

gerrymandering is not good.

Key evidence disappears from Tesla involved in bizarre crash The network card that stores and transmits crash data to Tesla's servers was physically removed from a Tesla Model Y involved in a violent 90 km/h crash in Bergen, Norway.

you might be surprised by how often Tesla's data recording systems randomly break, fail to function properly, go missing, or are otherwise mysteriously unable to perform their functions precisely when they are needed most

then again, you might not be surprised at all

They basically lost any momentum they had and then lost CB 5 months after that.

Don't forget Covid! Having filming shut down less than a year after Endgame is not great when you're trying to build a post-Avengers MCU.

I think Kang falling apart, Boseman dying, Cap and Iron Man out of the picture and Spider-Man being shared with Sony kinda combined into a perfect storm somehow.

Stupid goo goo nonsense. The only way to get fair districting is to pinch republicans in the mouth enough until they agree to fairness. Doing this with Callais days away from ripping up the VRA is so stupid I don’t know where to begin.

Any army before 1900 that had our current rate of sickness and disease would absolutely annihilate their opponents, even if completely restricted to the technology available at the time.

The other bit is you can assume the other vaccination requirements will be going by the wayside, half of SOCPAC getting JEV to own the libs

I don’t think we quite appreciate how consequential Kotaku’s revitalization under new ownership, after being dragged to the absolute brink by Great Hill, is for the industry. It proves what many of us knew in our hearts; bad management is the beating heart of digital media’s woes.

In my new film THE MINION CANNOT HEAR THE FALCONER, we'll explore the way in which the emergence of 20th century ideologies fractured the once-cohesively evil Minion society into competing fascist and communist blocs that soon come to blows over which form of totalitarianism will shape their future.

cant believe this man is doing the “but you fuck one goat” joke monologue but unironically

Leaving aside the basic fact of its absurdity - no, the average IQ in Somalia isn’t 70 - all I see here is a couple of idiots desperate for an unearned reason to think they’re better than others. Pathetic.

Basically feel the same way about the collapse of the USSR as I do the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it would have been preferable if it had become a trans-national confederation instead, but nobody actually wanted that, so it's all a bit academic.

If white people in Mississippi voted Republican at the same rate as white people in Louisiana (about 73% vs. 81%), it would be a tied tossup state. At the same level as Georgia or South Carolina, it would be a safe blue state.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

She is awful and should be fired but man that is three women out of the Cabinet and not a single guy

a picture is, it turns out, worth a lot more than a thousand words

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed X.com You know who's never caved to Trump's tyranny? Unions.

you know… I simply do not think this is true

I’m not going to blame the child victims in It, ultimately blame lays with the clown and more broadly with a callous society that produces a clown such as that, but kids should know not to talk to sewer clowns. Maybe that flies in Maine but not in real America.

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

william baude’s post about how the SCOTUS shadow docket leaks aren’t scandalous - and the real scandal is the leaks themselves - is an unusually clear example of when someone enmeshed in an elite network fails to appreciate that what they’ve decided to normalize is scandalous to everyone else

on some level I still cannot believe they started a war with Iran, tbh. it's just so undescribably stupid, the only kind of fuckup Trump's political instincts had saved him from, and now we're facing fully apocalyptic gas prices for the forseeable future.

how is this literally happening in real life
