I didn't watch, but with live TV in the hotel traveling for work, yeah, it seems like that's almost all there is anymore. Half are for drugs I can't take if I wanted to, most of which I know far more about the side effects than the condition being treated. "Food," cleaning products, and lawyers

I had, though. You have by now, too. And I watched as my mom talked to my uncle about this and saw the ineluctable path of their conversation as they saw it too and said to myself, "Dammit."

I sure loved Snoid, though.

In middle school, mom brings a new dog from the pound, a golden lab, golden retriever mix. His name is "Knight," and I, a big nerd about wizards and dragons and shit, was fine with that. Mom was not and said so from the start, but she hadn't thought of a name yet.

But by the time I came around, they had been calling each other snoid for years. It's hard to think of anything more objectionable to call someone, but for them, who did not have anything close to a harmonious relationship, it was a term of endearment

Years before I was born, my mom and her brother found some magazines belonging to their aunt's husband. Apparently those magazines featured, at least in part, a cartoon character named Snoid that lived in someone's ass. Don't ask. That's more than either you or I ever wanted to know.

Sorry dude. You didn't ask to be in this meme, but the siuation demands it.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Thinking, "At least we got them," is naive. There is an almost certain chance that there's more than one shop serving these clients even now, laughing at the fools caught up in Epstein's low-rent set-up.

But while we're on the subject, maybe take another look at those Panama Papers?

Playing the devil's advocate is a lot like contemplating one's shitty choices; It's a great way to increase your understanding when applied to oneself, but if you turn that lens around, you're probably going to distort everything in your favor

I’m a fuck no on this vote.

War funding, UN cuts, IRS gutting, and censorship dressed up as policy.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The law only applies to the weak, marginalized and oppressed, if you are rich and powerful, especially in America, you are above the law.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It’s too late, I have already portrayed myself as Chortling Bernie and you as Seething Eric Adams

Out Group Homogeneity at work

I can't express how much I love this

One could argue that was pretty much what they were going for, at least as an 'opposition' party, if not entirely as individuals

Sorry, the adjuster has denied your claim

A windfucker, or common kestrel, in flight. Etymology The term is a compound of wind + fucker.

My most conservative opinion? That we should go back to the old name for the common kestrel.

Police departments paid out $2.3 billion in settlements in one year.

We're not overspending feeding people. We're overspending beating people.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.
