Month With The Fewest Baes

I don't think I ever did the "Oh, but have you tried...?" for bacon or any other meat product, but with bacon specifically some folks just can't seem to imagine an existence without it.

It's bizarre.

I gotta say, as someone who very much enjoys bacon, people are fucking weird as shit about that specific meat. I've definitely caught myself with a "You don't eat it?" before in ages past (7th Day Adventists also don't!), but it's wild how you can say "I don't eat beef" and it gets less weirdness.

Exactly this. "I'll vote for whichever candidate has a D next to their name no matter what their actual policy positions are!" sends a message to the politicians that they don't need to care about what you want at all. It's wild that people keep volunteering their unconditional support.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

the Black Panthers were right

idgaf what's good for "the country", the institution. what's good for the people? the actual humans who comprise the country? that's all i have energy and time for.

Time to dust off a classic

As someone of primarily English, Scottish, and Irish roots, it's fucking hilarious that this Nazi loser is trying to bundle up those three nationalities specifically into a single monoculture. I'd like him to go to Ireland or Scotland and say this to folks. We'd likely soon have one less Nazi.

This cat has lasted in his position for, like, 111 Liz Trusses.

Just finding out now that the CEO of Chuck E Cheese is mentioned in the Epstein Files

ICE vehicles. A Subaru and a Dodge with identical plates GME 448

Tom Homan: "I'm not going to sit here and say anybody did anything wrong and that, you know, they were, you know, unprofessional."

Today at Homewood Suites in New Brighton, MN:

TCW is easily one of the most spineless and inept "thinkers" of the modern era, incapable of actually taking any sort of stand or having and sort of moral position that is not predetermined by the existence of a structural political duality and placing himself steadfastly in its perceived middle.

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

There's definitely some I can't easily confirm, but the one I can definitely confirm x2...

Valheim.

1.0 release should be this year and I would very much like people to play it and also potentially play it with me, kthx.

the baby (17 months) raised both her hands and said “WEADY?” so I said “ready!” and then she slapped me in the face

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

Is...

...is there something else hot sexy singles are supposed to be doing on a Friday night?

I'm assembling a team

*rubs temples*

As I've spent the better part of the day explaining why I don't think Newsom should be the Democratic nominee for president, it pains me to "defend" this, but...

The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.

Can you trust *anyone*? (Hot and Powerful Build) I can trust the police :)

Black Tabby Games are very funny for this. And other reasons, but still.

I only learned they're a steakhouse like a couple years ago. Been using their seasoned salt basically my whole-ass life though.

Just thought they were really passionate about their blend of salt.

Finally, a POV shot of the moment Richard Spencer experienced.

"you're gonna get in trouble for that"

*stone-faced*

"okay"

goddamn son

According to a Biss internal, AIPAC has -38 favorability among Democratic primary voters in a district that has a sizable Jewish population.

It also almost certainly made pro Palestinian politics more mainstream in general. Likewise the Trump administration's attempts to kidnap and disappear Khalil and Ozturk for speech have only reinforced in many liberal minds that "pro Israel = anti free speech".

Keeping my fingers crossed for the general truism that in a heavily contested primary (so not what was essentially Clinton v Sanders in 2016) in modern politics, the person declared the frontrunner more than a year out always fails to actually get the nomination.
