I'm in the UK rather than the US, but one of the things I've noticed about the 'vibecession' people is that none of them have been job-hunting in decades.

So yeah. $47k for a Toyota fucking Camry. Before any additional bullshit like "because we can" markups. Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo X with heavy discounting and rebates, $49k all-in on a 60. Heavily discounted limited, $60k on a $47k sticker.

And a few hours later, a justice of the peace convicted Meredith in absentia on trumped up charges of lying on a voter registration form, sentencing him to a year in prison.

Segregationists weren't subtle about it. Their racist heirs still aren't.

When Mississippi was trying to keep James Meredith out of Ole Miss despite federal court orders, the state legislature rushed through a bill barring anyone convicted of a crime from attending a state school.

They referred to it as "Meredith's Law" in the debate.

Anyone who wasn't expecting the United States to intentionally sabotage any negotiations with Iran, is officially too stupid to vote.

We'd all LOVE it if it was a short story, instead of more than a decade of continuous fucking horror.

That would be, like, a great title for a short story or something

From this day in 2021: My nephews were curious about Final Fantasy after seeing a Moogle I drew and I described Chocobos as looking "kind of like Big Bird" so then I had to draw it.

i have read police reports where the investigator proudly explained how he used standard interrogation techniques on the survivor filing the report, got her to contradict herself, and then concluded that she was making it all up! the system does not work the way you want it to

Man I miss when there was some class, some subtlety, when we fucked with other countries' elections.
