What movie do you consider perfect?

Hey--just putting this out there--needle-nose pliers make it easy to yank valve stem cores out of car tires (those are the little posts in the middle of the valve that you see when you unscrew the cap). That deflates the tire and it cannot be repaired. Oh, and no one can say you have a "weapon."

I fear that the reason a great deal of the change achieved 2008 to 2024 has ended up feeling so ephemeral was that much of it - by no means all, some obvious exceptions - was achieved through top-down exertions of elite power, both legal and cultural. When the power vanished, so did the change.

Huzzah!

Yes, I remember prominent conservatives hounded from public life after the police murdered George Floyd.

One of the most disgusting parts of living right now is knowing that so many of your fellow-citizens are snitches who would have ratted you out to the Gestapo 85 years ago.

There was never a shortage of people fleeing the countryside to work at those dark, Satanic mills.

Funny how conservatives are going to worship Kirk while refusing to repeat anything he ever said for the exact opposite reason that they worship Jesus while refusing to repeat anything HE ever said

Today in History: In 1971, Bahrain, Bhutan, and Qatar all joined the United Nations, but somehow this is not known as international BBQ day. That seems like a serious oversight.

*Looks at date* SHIT YES IT'S THAT DAY!

Weren't we just told that celebrating someone else's misfortune is the worst social sin imaginable and should cost you your job, your friends, and all future prospects? Seems like I was just hearing about that.

Every clip you see of this guy he's saying shit that would get you punched in the face if you said it to a stranger on the street.

It’s tempting to look at this and hear the David Bowie lyric “This is not America”, but it is, on a Friday morning, in a suburb of Chicago. We stood holding signs and flags, chanting and singing. ICE tear gassed us, shot us with pepper balls, physically attacked us. This is America, that is me.

This is absolutely the most divorced dad Advent calendar I have ever seen.

Guy trying to hide that his girlfriend is absolutely A.I.

This is probably true and makes me hate the future that much more.

Every single one of these assholes in masks has definitely been laughed at by a woman while he was naked.

Wow, the Badgers stink on ice this year, huh?

I don't know about you, but I always have a haughty spirit at this time of year.

Update: A vanilla bean gelato won't hurt at all, either.

There's not much better than a caprese on a perfect late summer day.

They say Nostradamus' predictions are too vague to take seriously but I find his assertion that "2025 will be fuckin shithousery squared" chillingly accurate

Go Trump, get dumped.

It's the one next to the stodd universe.

Efficiency!

Another day, another impeachable offense.

WHAT'S FONZIE LIKE, YOLANDA? (Hint: Not like these two fuckin' dorks.)

Never mistake your boss for your friend.

I swear to God, these people could lose to the Italian army.

You don’t even have to like Omar at all to see that this is some of the most wildly inappropriate and dangerous language imaginable for a member of congress to use about a colleague; it would legitimately be grounds for expulsion in a remotely functional political system

I can't look at this without thinking "Crooooooooooow!" and now neither can you.

The first time Trump's ever been laughed at for something being too long.

Very much the same.

One of the other great advantages of liberalism is that we're able to read graphs and so can notice that the share of humanity in extreme poverty has declined massively over the last 200 years.

Sometimes I wonder how much all of my former teachers would despair if they knew that I would use damn near everything I ever learned to be a smartass.

This here is a fucking subpoenable list: www.loc.gov/exhibitions/... Quit preening about how your performative fear on the public internet makes you a better activist than the people who organized the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

This is interesting. Not because it wasn't obviously coming, no. It's because Trump is such a thin-orange-skinned pissbaby that going after the people who mocked him was more important than racism or misogyny.

The term you are looking for is "desaparecidos." And I fuckin' weep to write that.

Three if by air.

In Texas, Parents Looking to Bury Their Children Are Winning

This Dorothy could steal me from my wife.

Another day, another impeachable offense.

Also, if you have ever donated to a campaign, volunteered, signed a recall petition, signed a nominating petition, or dozens of other things, YOU ARE ALREADY ON THEIR ENEMIES LIST. Stop cowering and be an adult. Resisting authoritarianism ALWAYS entails some risk of retaliation.

Dr. Goebbels sheds a single tear. In addition to the millions of others he's shedding because he's burning in Hell.

Kerberos (fox remix)

Counterpoint: Fuck off, you thin-orange-skinned twat.

I think the Democrats should honor Charlie Kirk exactly as much as the Republicans honored Melissa Hortman.

I get that there was a lot of adrenaline, but sheesh.

"Kamala Harris will draft you and send you to war" okay, fuckwit, good job.
