Jonathan Taylor SwiftBoaty McBoatFace-Heel Turn

One side of the coin is that a lawmaker is saying that educating himself made him change his mind on an issue. (Which, good!)

The other side of the coin is that he's admitting that he authored, sponsored, filed a bill while having evidently spent no time doing reading or research about the topic.

I had to confirm that this was real, because if you were a fourteen-year-old boy who made up this story to amuse his friends, you’d name the guy Wesley R. Dingus.

This doesn’t sound like the Wesley R. Dingus I know

Don Mischer at the 2004 DNC will always be my fave hot mic

Sloe gin is nice when you want a martini that also tastes like a bowl of Raisin Bran

Wow.

Our place is ~120, but we had just left and boarded Trax when it hit. Missed the whole thing.

Made for an eerie feeling during the gymnastics meet, though: “What if an aftershock hits while someone’s on the bars?”

This is what fucking happens if our Fellow Goddamn Americans vote for the worst stupidest most crooked bigots in the universe to have absolute power over us.

To quote another post I made: I'm pretty sure that the people who screamed that Kamala was a genocidal fascist who was worst than Trump and spent the entire campaign begging people not to vote for her did not actually vote for Kamala.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

💯 This goes double for all the “no longer Republicans” who insist that their obsession with guns and their contempt for marginalized groups makes them “left-er than thou“ and somehow absolves them of having to do the dirty work of supporting viable progress instead of their Couch Potato Fantasies

Spicy take, but the 20% of the people who don't make it back to a stable life still deserve to have their basic needs met.

when someone posts a screenshot from something without providing a link to it or any context for it, and it gets your blood riled up, ask yourself whether the thing making you mad even makes any sense and whether you might want to learn more before melting down

These clowns won’t rest until every city dweller is forcibly shackled to the wheel of an F-Series and made to commute at least 90 minutes, each way, 5 days a week.

I like to think every step on my pedometer makes their butts itch

Living in genealogy-town, I have come to accept that all family trees are cones, and if I go back far enough I’ll find my most recent common ancestor with myself.

I’ve never taken a DNA test but I assume the results would be…fractal?

Join me in reporting and blocking.

For reasons I can only attribute to a sudden influx of Irish-ish-Americans to the Intermountain West, my work is awash in Erins anymore. I find myself tempted to switch to a last-name basis. “There goes Saunders, thinking anyone else cares whether it’s an invoice or a statement!”

When Dar and I got married in 2006, my folks were still arguing about how to pronounce my middle name. I called time and promoted my birth surname to the middle.

(Dad was right, but Mom was stubborn.)

I know a few secret Elizabeths and at least one don’t-call-me-Adam who go by their middles!

He brings a knife, you bring a colostomy bag…

No town deserves this. My heart goes out to Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

And business expertise isn’t even remotely the most impressive expertise!

And my baby hazels are real, real tired.

Anti-intellectuals don’t even respect business expertise anymore. If they even remotely understood or valued it, they wouldn’t have picked a king based on their fave reality game show.

“We kicked out everyone except Y chromosomes and blue eyes, to whom we offer a starting salary of ($CostOfLiving x 0.4). You can do light arithmetic! That’s pretty much the same as research accounting, right?”

Slightly less stark than the collapse of the dipshit fantasy that deporting migrant laborers will somehow open up cushy careers for white guys:

The immense brain-drain of losing highly educated knowledge workers with a strong work ethic, and seeing them replaced by the cheapest townies on deck

This explains the leaders of the New Atheist movement

Looks like the anti-voting bots are in full force. You'd have to be an utter idiot to fall for posts like these.

MAGA lost the Superbowl.

MAGA lost the half-time show.

MAGA lost the Green Day kick-off show.

MAGA lost the Carlile “America the Beautiful.”

MAGA lost the Puth National Anthem.

MAGA lost.

Ask him to recommend a sandwich place, and Bernie will somehow find the one sandwich place in the entire country that is a front for the SVR or something.

A level of terrible judgment in people to compete with Masayoshi Son, Elon, or your average 20th C. rock star.

honestly at this point I wouldn't trust Bernie to recommend me a sandwich place.
