Where we see an unacceptable power differential, they see the natural order. DJT is high enough in the hierarchy that he has rights over the bodies of others much lower than he, such as teenaged girls. A Latino man would not have those same rights (& that he might assert them is a key fear point).

Nom nom nom nom

I thought immigrants were supposed to bring their cultures with them instead of assimilating. Considering the last mass shooting in Portugal was the 1908 Lisbon Regicide, it looks like the shooter assimilated pretty well.

Shocking new photo from the Epstein files.

Bald eagles are common on the upper Mississippi River now, nesting in tall dead trees so they can see everything.

How wonderful for the Region. It will give them something to watch in the off-season for Railcats baseball.

If your "Robert Redf-" be "-ord", be well-assured. If your "Robert Redf-" be "-ield", you may be ki-illed.

Kash will be driving his girlfriend around in it presently.

Bill Murray needs to call rfk as Dr. Peter Venkman and convince him that what he thinks is vaccine injury is actually paranormal activity.

Spot on take re: "USian" It's starting to feel like Fox News in here with all the complaining about other people's woke language.

People from Latin America also regularly use “American” in some form to refer to themselves and to place; in Spanish, the term for people from the U.S. is “Estadounidense” - the English translation of this is in fact USian. It’s unwieldy but not without merit

There once was a man from Nantucket Who did Colombian blow by the bucket He knows how to sail And dust off a rail None of it's real so fuck it

Another cool paper from Broockman et al. showing people oppose new housing not just because of NIMBY, but because they genuinely don't want others to live near ugly buildings. I wonder how much of the so-called "cultural" concerns about migration are similarly about aesthetics.

"Stand in the seat" great metaphor, great visual.

The middle east used to be full of white people, then Arabs lost their white status, one of few groups to do so.

Much better than the Cheetah Cum Cab

Everyone knows Midwest nice, but there is also Midwest snippy.

The Italian "OHHHHhhh!" was made for moments like these.

The left self-radicalizing beyond all sense on criminal justice is a legendary gift to the right. And there's absolutely no way to talk them down. All criticism is immediately dismissed on "we'll be attacked no matter what" grounds. That's not a reason be extremely attackable.

And so it will be for the next five months.

Imagine living in Japan, maker of the Toyota Land Cruiser, which outlasts mountains. "No! Give me something way shittier! Ship those electrical gremlins across oceans. I won't be happy unless I've paid an outrageous sum and even more to mechanics. I'll have the only one on my block." Veblen good.

At some point, Trump will be replaced by an AI. He will appear only on video. AI Trump will explain that Soros and Obama hired a bunch of new antifa supersoldiers from Muslim insane asylums, and they're hopped up on super strength Venezuelan fentanyl. As the AI improves, Trump will become more 1/

This ceasefire is like children playing the "who can be quiet" game. "Starts now. No, time-out. ... Now."

I'll never cease to be childishly amused by the fact that this is a state repression force of a deeply anti-LGBT state.

A balloon is the most sensible way to smuggle helium.

He even has the undercut, the most Nazi haircut. It seemed to come back into style a couple years ago. Maybe I should have read more into that.

Make believe is how conservatives solve cognitive dissonance.

Cayenne pepper? That's gotta be the shit!

I didn't think he'd ever actually do it.

Millei looks like a rogue Vorta.

If the new Republican Medicaid work requirement applied to congress, they'd lose their health coverage.

Way to spoil the surprise, Sikorski!

One last time then: The grand old Duke of York, he had twelve million quid. He gave it to someone he never met for something he never did.

It's got what industrial processes crave.

It's wild that a candidate for Mayor of NYC, which does not have a foreign policy, must convincingly swear belief in the "two-state solution." The transition to vapid civic piety is complete. It now functionally means "world peace"

The sari state of US shipping.

BRB, going to get hired at Red State U. as a flat earth astrophysicist. Live that Dr. Peter Venkman lifestyle.

You have to imagine MAGA Ray is out of step with his constituents on the near southwest side.

All the way to Wacker. There is no call for four lanes of traffic into the heart of downtown just to dead end. Pointless street. Amazing public space.

Would drive my classic Lambo all over town. Have it valet parked: "Be careful with that. It's Italian."

It's a good line, but everyone at Broadview knows which way the cops are facing. We'll hear about it when an ISP roughs up an ICE.

Oh my! That's a lot to handle!

Ooh, Stitt down, sand up!

Not sure deploying the national guard to the federal courthouse was the best idea, guys.

If it's a tradcath/natcath schism from Mother Church, I love it. Especially right now.

Occupied Chicago. Look at Walker, Texas Ranger up there in the hat. Why are these clowns sullying my beautiful city?

Oh no. It's real. abcnews.go.com/US/texas-nat...

Having good press generally but bad press among MAGAs is the best of both worlds for Chicago. Attracts the right crowd. If we can stave off the armed invasion.

Seems like this could be a corridor for all US/Canada trade as long as there are indigenous middlemen. If Canada agrees and why wouldn't they? End-run Trump to cancel the tariffs. De facto free trade agreement.
