I never in my life want to hear another Republican bitching about Democratic Presidents ruling by executive order.

"New", George?

... Boy, Dickens is the worst example to pick here.

"Dickens's world is too far removed from modern experience."

What, you mean the world of enormous wealth disparity, the industrialization of human life begetting generational suffering, the young forced to scavenge on the fringes of society...

So fucking tired.

"...kill da /wabbit/?"

At the end of the day, all computers do what they're told.

Told by _whom_, now, that's the question.

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship.

She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

I mean, if we MUST have an easily-swayed tool in the White House...

Attack of opportunity.

"When you said the wife was really riding you..."

I blame _Sister Act_.

We need to find a way for Trump to believe that Stephen Miller has treated him so badly and that the ICE goons have treated Trump so very badly. He believes made up video montages of Portland “violence.” Let’s show him ICE disrespecting him and Miller laughing at him, trying to be his puppet master

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

I maintain that the Street jumped the shark when Elmo took Grover's spotlight.

I wish I could take credit for recognizing him, but I'm in a G1 fandom group on another platform.

"...I got a -rock-."

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Clearly, the demons of angst and worry being kept at bay by such bubbling, gooey magnificence.

"Watch it" is more the Divine Miss P's style.

Defcon?

"Challenge scientific orthodoxy".

What a flattering way to say "spout bullshit that will kill people".

I assumed force of robo-mod.

"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this."

I have to believe she knows better, but expects her followers not to.

Whether that's more or less charitable than assuming she really is that fucking ignorant, well, that's left as an exercise to the reader.

This is /pain perdu/ on enough steroids to be disqualified by the IOC.

Every few years I feel compelled to post about the best hotel hack ever, because every time I post about it, it turns out to be new to lots of folks …

Number one, even if we grant the premise they'd been "conceived as disinfectant chambers", that doesn't explain away what they were actually fucking used for.

Number two, you KNOW a statistically-significant number of Nazis would've referred to burning bodies as "disinfecting".

And also?

Nobody can bust you later for something you *imagined*.

But stuff that you asked the world-fucking plagiarism machine for?

Hoo boy.
