Really shocked that RFK is going all I. On Tylenol causing autism since mercury has been his pet theory forever. He even supported the doctors who chemically castrated autistic boys and men in the name of detoxification from mercury.

One reason Republican voters don’t care about obvious corruption is because they believe that all politicians are corrupt and so they sort of appreciate the obvious corruption of Trump as opposed to their theories about Hunter Biden getting money to his dad.

I am begging Dem lawmakers to learn to do some basic vetting. Please. (When I read the bill I immediately knew it was Scientology related, but I grew up in Clearwater so...IYKYK)

C'mon AMC, let me buy tickets to the Taylor Swift album.

The only time I've had something successfully struck for Rule 8 was a guy who killed an abortion doctor who spent the entire complaint, upset he wasn't granted Parole, complaining about Hillary Clinton.

People on social media were mean to me and this is just like when the President threatens to use the full force of the government" is a weird thing to say.

One way that cults work is by isolating the target from other who are not in the cult. Separated from the "real world" it becomes easier to allow yourself to turn over control of your life to the cult since you no longer have an dissenting voices. This used to require a leader. Now it doesn't.

"Debate me" bros are well known for being great recruits for the military. They are all very physically fit and also love complying with orders.

I do wonder if they are a bit out over their skis in doing all of this in the name of a dude who had net unfavorables the week of his death.

I have decided the safest and also funniest thing to do if asked your opinion about Charlie Kirk is to pretend you have no idea who they are talking about, is that like some character on one of the new Star Treks or something.

I am a coward. Sorry. I’m not going to preemptively say something in real life that will get me fired. My current bravest act is not killing myself.

They folded to DeSantis. They aren’t standing up to this.

Does Disney have some merger coming up I don’t know about.

For me the most striking part of the indictment is the fact that this whole plan came together in about a week. This was not plotted over months and months with precision. This was a guy who, apparently, realized a guy he didn’t like was going to be nearby and took the shot.

There is no politics. There is no deep ideology. This is stream sniping but into the news instead of a COD streamer. For us olds, this is like someone calling into the news station pretending to be a witness to an event and screaming "Baba Booey."

This is the first time I've missed Twitter.

"And up next, the cast of Glee reunite to sing a moving tribute to Charlie Kirk."

I am a much bigger coward than I ever expected.

Getting really into card making (buying card making supplies and not making anything)

The year is 2025. Oceans are battlefields.

Someone in the local Facebook group (where people have been talking about Charlie Kirk while other people are like “why are you talking about him, he isn’t local and has nothing to do with us”) posted something I think actually made sense.

I am normal and fine.

Almost every sitcom in the 70s and 80s had a trans episode and they all treat it as “this is weird to me at first but, hey, the important thing is that you are happy and I can overcome any initial bias I have to support you”. It wasn’t an issue until the conservatives needed a scapegoat.

Politics is increasingly divided between those who are comfortable with the complex systems of modernity and those who would rather burn the world down than accept that things are complicated now.

In April there was a shooting at FSU carried out by a conservative Trump supporter with far right views. But officially no motive has been identified for the shooting. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...

Having worked in policy and politics for around a decade at this point, I can assure you that “Debate me bro” tactics has never actually led to anything helpful.

My local Facebook group (which I follow mostly for news about which farmer markets are happening where) is filled with post after post people complaining of “Why isn’t anyone holding a vigil for Charlie Kirk” but nobody actually wanting to organize one.

I’m going to be an asshole and share my pet peeve with people starting Patreon for their fanfic. The point of fanfic is not making money. If you want to make money from writing go write your own shit.

I did not know that these allegations came from “Bed Bath and Beyond” weirdo Bill Pulte.

"Guys, we are all about terrorist EDGING. You aren't supposed to ever actually cum."

Every parent in America must make sure their kids aren't being brain-poisoned online. What are they seeing in chats? Who are they talking to? What about their friends? What do those random nonsense things they're saying actually mean? This is our job now. Lives depend on it.

This is very much the experience of learning about the Civil War in the South. We have to respect the Confederacy because they died fighting for what they believed in and you should always fight for what you believe in. Turns out it's important to think about what you believe in before you fight.

I ended up on a email list for some gun company and, gang, the email has a heading of "The Civil War is Here". Like, what level of fucked up is it when we are at "50% off Civil War Sale".

It has been WEIRD seeing how many MAGA supporters are posting these long dramatic screeds in the local Facebook group about Charlie Kirk. And at first I assumed it was performative attention seeking but they keep continuing and now I’m wondering if it is something else.

If a civil war starts should I stay home from work or come in because it has an emergency generator. Hmmm.

We are stuck living in reality while the people in power and their enablers get to make up stuff and pretend it is true.

Before reading into movies written on shell casings

And the Manson family wrote "Death to Pigs" on the walls during the Tate-LaBiana murders because they were hoping to start a race war.

Oh, so now it's BAD for a diplomat to have close personal collections to various heads of state?

OK I'm sorry but A YAHOO ACCOUNT.

I really need everyone who is claiming "he was just trying to bring back good natured debate to society" to have to identify if they are saying that from a place of trolling, or because they believe it, or because they just think it's what you are supposed to say.

OK, but is he dead or did Trump say that he died because those are two different things.

To be clear, I think it is bad to publicly celebrate violence happening to anyone, even people you don't like. Not because I think it is necessarily coercive to society. I'm not a sociologist. IDK. I do think that type of thinking is coercive to the person doing it, which is the reason to avoid.

Um...can I have the name of those Etsy Witches. www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some...

OK all you wannabe screenwriters out there. What is the best answer to the "Who did you vote for" question. "Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, then Jennifer Hudson. She broke my winning streak, but I don't regret it."

I suspect that in every state legislature in the country there is one member that is hated by everyone on both sides. You can recognize them because they are the ones with the offices the furthest away from everyone and the parking spots in the darkest parts of the basement.

The incompetence of the administration is depressing for those of us who are competent and intelligent. We question how anyone is in favor of this. But, for a moment, imagine that you are someone who is incompetent and stupid, and how excited you are to see your people in power.

Succession is an amazing show but one of the things that it got MOST right is the stuff with "Uncle Mo".

See, I personally care more about police brutality than crimes committed by a rando (no matter how terrible such crimes are) because when the POLICE do brutality they do so in my name and escape justice because of qualified immunity.
