Has Glorious Leader Trump Made Chocolate Too Delicious? We Dig In To The Data

The situation is not at all the same because there’s lots of Trump criticism in other mainstream outlets and in independent outlets, but it’s uncanny how much the Post in particular is like a parody of North Korean or Soviet state media.

At my old law firm we used to joke about so-and-so being a "Third Amendment specialist" because it was so incredibly funny to imagine a Third Amendment case ever happening. Kristi Noem is a second away from telling everyone to hold her beer. bsky.app/profile/port...

Here’s the thing about Curtis Yarvin making plans to flee the country: yeah bitch we are going to win and your friends are going to jail.

Musical about authoritarianism called “‘Rendt”

what's funny is, as always, the liberals and progressives are ruminating over this and grappling with it long after the people who swore this meant a whirlwind would be reaped have completely forgotten about it. you can forget about it too!

There will be one in November. There always is and people are always surprised about it.

Okay in fairness Mr. Computers he also went to “Yale”

So the cycle from here is 1. Criticism of Taylor goes viral which is 2. Framed by right wing influencers as "the left" turning on Taylor because she 3. Is getting married and made an album about her husband so 4. "Why do Democrats hate marriage/men/women/families/straight people"

Reading comprehension check

People love saying stuff like this as if it’s insightful. I can help out here. The difference is that race is a social construct and even if it weren’t would involve treating people unfairly based on very limited information about them whereas LLMs are COMPUTER PROGRAMS.

Being a Taylor Swift fan is the shitlib line I cannot cross. I will always be a hater. She’s a great talent if you hate lyrics and music.

I mean Severance is good but what else

I would say everyone should cancel their Apple TV+ subscriptions, but what kind of idiot subscribed to Apple TV+?

i looked at the methodology for this and it is
a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and

Literally everything they do now is dressed in the language of a serial abuser. It’s impossible to miss. Daddy hits you only when you cry.

Unfortunately the one category of people that does recognize this is white American Catholics

I’m so tired of this stuff. People on here were mad, including me! It was worth being mad about! That was the obvious goal of the campaign! Why are we pretending that didn’t happen?

“One of the greatest songwriters of the twenty first century”

If you have the obligations and have been treating each other like you are married, in what sense are you “not married”?

Why? On certain visions of “orthodoxy” what you have to say is that well uh they contracted certain obligations through treating each other as if they were married but they technically weren’t. Okay fine, but in that case what purpose is being served by insisting on the technicality?

I do also think there are other problems here. Like for example, Catholics who marry without permission of the church supposedly don’t even have a “natural marriage.” Yet someone who does this clearly acts unjustly if, after years of such an arrangement, he throws over his wife for a younger woman.

There’s no reason you can’t just say “sacramental marriage” when you mean that and otherwise tolerate whatever meaning people are giving the term.

I wouldn’t be against that but I think just toning down the obnoxiousness would be enough. For example a general acceptance that most people when they say “marriage” are talking about a formally recognized relationship between two people and not about a sacrament specifically.
