Are (or were) you Southern Baptist? Paul Pressler, the man who did more than anyone to make the Southern Baptist Convention conservative and politically allied with Republicans was known by many to be a sexual predator of boys and young men. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/o...

Celebrating May Day today

I'm surprised that Saxx, Shinesty, or some other men's underwear maker hasn't started advertising to customers who demand big, beautiful, secure ball room.

When really, that's kinda Alice Cooper.

I can't wait to see what delightfully disrespectful thing she wears to the Emmys

Some smart people actively work to come across as relatably average on a regular basis.

OMG "Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit]."

Absolutely! Her first magazine cover, Rolling Stone, April 15, 1999, shot by David LaChapelle; the first sentence of the article: "Britney Spears extends a honeyed thigh across the length of the sofa, keeping one foot on the floor as she does so." It's soft-core porn.

Oklahoma City dodged getting an ICE facility just this week when the out-of-state owners of the property ended conversations with DHS. Our city council and mayor had no say; it was solely up to the property's owners.

Or a campaign to have FIFA move matches from the U.S. venues of the World Cup to venues in Canada and Mexico, since all three countries are set to host

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Oh no. Cross-dressing for a job?

When it's My Side Against Your Side, instead of right vs. wrong, morals are just tactical weapons.

Sometimes when current events are overwhelming, I'll read up on nuclear war scenarios or the Bengali genocide of 1971 because those horrors feel soothingly distant

I see a lot of people & organizations responding to the Supreme Court's refusal to take Kim Davis's challenge to marriage equality with posts of "Love Always Wins!" While that's a perfectly fine, positive take, I think in this particular case, it's correct to say "Mean Stupidity Always Loses!"

Plus, he got over a million votes, the first mayoral candidate to do so since 1969. Driving turnout is just as decisive as percentage.

*ahem* The Andrew Formerly Known As Prince

I had a huge crush on Keith Gordon, so this movie was very emotionally complicated for me

Do you think if the city council of Noble, Oklahoma, made up a peace prize and gave it to him that he'd be content with it? Maybe it would calm him a bit?

ROLLING STONE RANKS THE 250 GREATEST SONGS OF THE 21st CENTURY SO FAR 🚨

Cocaine so white, it has an L.L. Bean MasterCard

ChatGPT, Meta AI, Grok, etc.: these will never improve and will always spew out at least some wrong slop. So, cope, I guess.

Lmao

In a second article this year, McWhorter doesn't know the origin of a queer slang term that The Kids now say. Here, it's "clocking"; in May, it was "giving". Dude. Get a gay friend. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/o...

I read everything Musk says about trans people as his attempts to explain to himself why his own child is trans. He'll announce the most convoluted rationalizations to avoid accepting that she was born the way she is.

Instead of worrying about how the robots of the future will destroy us, pay attention to how our current robots have changed us and the societies we live in. An excellent, easily understood explanation

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ no notes

I need whoever is applying this stuff to the president's hand to understand that Dermablend comes in different shades.

Slightly diminish a band: Salt Substitute-N-Pepa

Anti-gay attention-seeker Kim Davis's four marriages to three different men may reveal her commitment issues, but she clearly has no problem committing to affordable lightweight knit separates from Walmart SuperCenter.

Whenever the actual NYT uses "uncomfortable" like this, which they do often, it comes across as the same level of discomfort as going to a pool party with plaque psoriasis in a Skyrizi commercial

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

Fun fact, while the zombie metaphor gets used for everything from capitalism to scary foreigners, when it entered the popular lexicon, it was from the Haitian tradition of zombi, born of existential fear that someone could so enslave you that you labor forever on their behalf, even *after* death.

Age verification? I owned at least 6 Swatch watches and wore the first pair of guy's Guess? jeans at my middle school.

(front of pants spattered with fine mist) I'm bad at math

"The name's Bondh. James Bondh."

That's what the protests--that you harshly criticized--were about, Madam Secretary.

Whenever I see a Labubu, all I can think of is Kristen Wiig playing Gilly on SNL. Sorry.

Art, whether creation or performance, and sport, whether play or competition, are about learning how to improve.

Amy explains that taking your audience along on a learning journey (starting where they're at) makes them smarter, makes them FEEL smarter, and makes them like you.

Using the slogan "Where's Your Bitchat?" in advertising would be genius/hilarious

"...first-generation Americans and racial minorities are celebrated under certain terms and conditions, but if they violate them, their status can just as quickly be used to stigmatize them as alien and un-American." www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I initially thought the main "Zohran" signs gave too much of an exotic feel, but this article helped me understand how the bodega-awning/Bollywood-poster/grocery-sign aesthetic could really resonate as authentically New York. Plus the Zohran-print headscarves? Genius

🏀🏳️‍🌈OKC's gay bars are having Thunder watch parties this evening, and I'm doing SUCH A GOOD JOB of accepting our community's diversity and not demanding that gay men fit the narrow stereotype I happen to personally have the most in common with. SUCH A VERY GOOD JOB. At least there's drag shows after

This whole thread. It wasn't a cover-up by Biden's staff as much as it was stubborn delusion and denial -- less of his health or capacity than of Dem voters opinions.

Didn't Christopher Rufo explicitly work to make 'CRT', 'woke', and 'DEI' into catchwords drained of their original meanings to be reflexively hated for political & electoral gain?

Ricardo Prada Vásquez is in detention documents, but vanished from all records after deportation planes left Texas for El Salvador. He isn't listed as being on the planes or at the prison, isn't in photos, & his family can't bring a legal case not knowing where he is. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...

I'm not saying JD Vance caused Pope Francis's death, I'm just saying the pope was old, frail, and in poor health, and Vance is an exhausting, argumentative person who had just been lectured by a cardinal on compassion for migrants.

1. Deportation is a death sentence; the Taliban will kill him. 2. Why should anyone ever help the U.S. again? It's not worth the risk.
