that is too many degrees. put some of those degrees back.

Here’s mine, tempera sticks and brushpen on toned Strathmore paper I confess that I just really enjoy drawing and painting tomatoes 🤪 #OliveArtClub

A draft report from Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission calls the separation of church and state a "legal error" and urges the DOJ to rewrite the Establishment Clause. That’s the First Amendment line that’s held for 250 years. The petition asks Congress to defend it and reject the report.

this is such an awful joke, bravo, well done

i am still so mad about how fucking great this song is

* If you're a Kiwi and want to make a submission, the link is below. Advice is to just say in simple words how much you love using the wonderful parks and nature here and how capitalizing on that land rather than conserving it would affect you. www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Any typos spotted in this post spent their Saturday afternoon at a protest against some more absolutely incomprehensible government tomfoolery. If typos spotted, they'll be filling out their submission to protest the Government's ridiculous Conservation Amendment Bill before 2nd July.

As a wall of people--laughing, chatting, banging pots and holding banners--march through the city, a group of small humans (6?) in karate gear are standing near a church hall. Waving while looking on with unsure, serious expressions. Who ARE all these people and What IS this noisy business? (5)

A small human (4?) very much likes this protesting business. He's got a sign and everyone is cheering him! First he pulls one pose... Then another. Then he settles on holding the sign FAR above his head. Tummy showing. Tippy toes. Game face on. (4)

A strident man is talking to a crowd in a beautiful shady park. As children play, people murmur to each other, dogs lounge and people cheer him on, he emphatically states: "Our conservation lands aren't a real estate portfolio, they're our national identity!" The crowd roars in agreement.

A woman (60s?) is laughingly saying to a group of people (20s?) "If anyone has some spare spoons, I've got spare pots for you to bang on!" A nearby man says: "Ah ha! I have spare spoons! I'll swap ya!" Swap accomplished! Raucous protest ruckus imminent! (2)

🧵Spotted at an Environmental Protest in Aotearoa New Zealand*: A serious man (70s?) with a no-nonsense expression is saying to a friend: "It's good how the young ones organised this one eh. Might be hope for the future bro." He nods towards the chatting and laughing crowd surrounding him. (1)

I love this joke, always have But also if you're an LGBTQ+ Christian (or Christian-recovering or -curious), have been hurt by this argument, and/or like classic-sounding hymns here's one about the God of Rainbow, by the director of the Colorado AIDS Project in 1985 youtu.be/icJs25Z09ws?...

exactly. you can't fucking steal what was a gift to all mankind. but bigots gonna bigot, any way they can.

Very interesting how an all-powerful God can't take back things that were stolen from Him on his own, and needs His human servants to demand their return instead.

😁😂 So it’s that easy, eh?

yes it can

not a moment to feel proud of our country, alas.

And that's okay. They're all 'I' statements, so I don't know why anyone is getting worked up.

City dog: “these country dogs are huge!”😂

The SEAL Intel guy describes an escaped terrorist as having "done a Roman Polanski on our ass"

"imagine 500 bullets being fired in all directions" is how this vest is described to the Chechen terrorist leader. their plan is to blow up a stadium and cause "total economic collapse". my friend describes the Chechen leader as "an extra from Uncut Gems"

Shove enough plutonium in the pockets and any vest can become a suicide vest

Fantastic band name.

Vestments of Mass Destruction.

I regret to inform you the Russian Cartel guys have invented a new kind of suicide vest for the Chechen jihadists (who give the LAZIEST "allahu ackbar"s in history). they are WMD levels of powerful and can evade bomb detectors.

this is.... one hell of a sentence i just read.

Like, taken as a whole, it’s a banger conceptual art project.

I just can’t fathom that enough people thought this product was a solid enough idea to put out into the world and other people agreed to distribute it and retail outlets gave it a go? Multiple breakdowns of logic. But we do live in incredibly absurd times.

I just described this thread and thus the existence of these to my husband and first he spat tea everywhere and now is quoting the witches from the Scottish play.

They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Are you stronger now?

Yeah, you have to specifically ask. I don’t know why they don’t just tell people and be upfront about the cost! It’s called SuTab.

That is amazing! I had no idea, thank you for sharing. I will have to ask for that. The jug was horrifyingly bad.

Unrelated to the carbonated beef broth, but did you know you can get prep pills instead of the gallon jug of grossness? Insurance won’t cover, but it was worth the $50!

The world already has colonoscopy prep beverages—additional disgusting decoctions not required.

No phrase screams delicious quite like “absolutely acceptable”.

I’d be afraid of the burps. Godspeed & thank you for your service!

"It's wasn't what I would call good" is frankly the best possible scenario lol

i used to work in the wine & spirits industry and have had a number of experiences similar to this journey and i am both very sorry for your stomach and also VERY curious about when someone is gonna add THC/CBD to these 😂

It seems like a lot of effort (on the part of the manufacturer) to avoid making soup that tastes like soup

Even he thinks it's weird. Not too weird not to have more of it, but it is definitely requiring an active pros and cons consideration there.

"it can't really be that bad right? Nope. Still bad"

Yeah, this is not how he behaves around something affirmatively Good.

this dog behavior reads to me like "it's weird. should i taste it again? at least it's novel. ok. it's still weird! idk. taste it again? STILL WEIRD. maybe again?" hahah

It's like the puppy version of the woman trying kombucha 🤭

I like how he keeps approaching it from different angles like that'll change the taste.
