Does nobody ever intend to bring back goodies that are either liquid or sharp?

I fear our collective life is already too spiced up...

The comments on that article are... hoo-boy! Bizarre to me that someone could look at Rod Dreher and not think, "well that's a deeply weird dude struggling with Some Stuff," but then again that's the level of sophistication of the conservative mind, apparently.

Rod Dreher's Penis Budget indeed.

Another great investment in rigid heterosexuality from the guardians of Christian morality.

Sadly it is not

A museum exhibit demonstrating the greenhouse effect as it relates to climate change

Just visited the Air & Space Museum, and can't get over the excellent presentation of scientific facts. Which the government it's nominally part of then turns around, denies and exacerbates as part of its genuinely evil program of destruction and theft.

Skeet from Brendel: Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go "this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn't understand normal sane Americans crave" and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like "Leprechauns are real and I'm going to cook one"

There was a feeling that Adams was the future of the party, more interested in fighting crime than social justice, and so he was fluffed and lauded by a lot of influential public voices. That began to unravel as he behaved like Eric Adams. Or to quote what may have been Bsky's 1st certified banger:

This was the funny little pocket of Biden backswing/"woke has gone too far," which was the major narrative of the political press. The 2021 elections showed a rightward lurch, Jersey damn near went red, and everyone was writing puff pieces about how Glenn Youngkin was the future of the GOP.

Is this a subliminal campaign slogan for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in NM and CO?

Weird fringy shit about overpopulation remains weird fringy shit.

Does this comport with reality? Not really. It's mostly a Fox News confection that is being uncritically swallowed. But neither is it a mandate to stop *immigration.* The average voter truly doesn't care about immigration, believes legal immigrants make the country stronger, etc.

It is, in fact, not huge. To the extent that it is meaningful at all, to all but the weirdest freaks, the actual issue is "border security," which is a matter of imagining that actual criminals are literally sneaking in unvetted through an understaffed border.

Also, why does it not occur to any of these fucking idiots that immigrants start businesses, sometimes whole industries, and thus not only don't "take American jobs," they *create* American jobs.

It is useful to remember that at no point in the last six years has the statement "I believe Donald Trump is a criminal and should be prosecuted and jailed" received less than 50% support in amy reputable poll.

The only way we unfuck our country is through a puritanical anti-corruption drive. We need to rip out a vast substrate of corrupt elites and marginalize an even larger contingent of mere incompetents and cowards.

Ppl need to be terrified of the white-collar criminal laws of the United States again.

The... mew-sual suspects...

Well say hi to him for me.

Did he block you or just me? Coward...

It was quite clearly about both.

Important context, this is the specific clod who got fired over Signalgate.

The food of course, but also the beauty. The Palisades! Sandy Hook! Asbury Park! And Tom Waits' "Jersey Girl" is an all-time banger.

Although (and here I wonder once again if I'm whistling past the graveyard) it's been a very long time since Joe diGenova has been a competent lawyer.

Although, blessedly, Trump himself seems to be going off the rails as well. I'm not sure what's going to go wrong with this Bible reading, but I'm 100% certain something will.

Turns out they're bitter, and cling to guns and religion.

I'm tired of babysitting these entitled pricks. How do we render them voiceless?

It's also funny that they reference the supposed religious beliefs for which they're being persecuted, while also advocating this profoundly irreligious "might makes right" worldview. It's like they're consciously wrapping their bullshit in a cloak of religion, and are demanding we play along.

It's also just utterly pathetic. Whining about people being hostile to greatness and mean to public figures, then turning around and calling your company "software that dominates," gives off a strong odor of the bullied 9th grade nerd seething at his tormentors from across the gymnasium.

Specifically edgy *rich* white boy shit though, which is what concerns me.

Style points for civilian use of the Past Exonerative Tense tho...

Ken, is Kash Patel a good lawyer?

Any time someone asks me what happened in the game last night, I chuckle darkly and proceed to openly and brazenly break the law by telling them.
