extremely functional democracy we've got here, just really top-notch

science has spoken

all medical shows are bad because they're about human bodies, which are universally gross

OK. Then they won't get to see my award-winning array of posts like "Feel the STRENGTH of CLASSIC DOGS" and recommendations for albums of Bulgarian grandmothers playing goat bladders. Also: who the fuck cares? I'm here to post. Someone doesn't like it, that's their fucken problem.

uhhhhhh yeah, this is someone doing a dogshit impression, John Baron is an extremely well-publicized pseudonym he used in the 80s, DO YOU REALLY THINK HE HAS THE PATIENCE TO WATCH C-SPAN????????????????

RIP, queen

still more of a drinks person via friendly influence, but reading this a dozen years ago (christ) & then finding a Michael Jackson (not that one) guide to single malts from 1988 for $2 at a library sale definitely resulted in a now mostly concluded hit to my savings... harpers.org/archive/2014...

that's one way to phrase "because Israel is still ethnically cleansing them from their land," I guess

The opposite of this is "This is not America/who we are." Yes it is. If it wasn't who we are, then who's doing it?

wasn't expecting the Lydia Lunch (? I think it's gotta be?) cameo on the last two songs; honestly she's not sounding too great m.youtube.com/watch?v=R_RW...

HBD the great English film and theatre director Mike Leigh who was BOTD in 1943, turning 83 today. People don't talk enough about his 1993 masterpiece "Naked" featuring a tour de force performance by David Thewlis, but Leigh has also made too many other masterpieces to mention

she puts the ska in scam

My 11yo daughter just walked in the room, looked at the tv, and said "is that a meme." I get she's new to internet culture but no. That is Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant smoking crack. It would be a fire meme tho

BUT IT'S COLD AS AN ICICLE IN MY HEART

Just how good is that Palantir money, Hakeem?

Putnam City: the owners of one of the largest McDonald's franchises in OKC decided to talk shit to high schoolers during their walkout. The man in red allegedly assaulted a kid and pissed himself after he was arrested.

"Professor White Boy " has perished. They found him self harmed at the bottom of an elevator shaft. Thanks for the fucking smiles, Professor
