ME & MY SQUAD OF NEURODIVERGENTS ON OUR WAY TO RUIN SOMEONE'S PARTY WITH OBSCURE MOVIE REFERENCES THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION | 1984

Someone I know really sent this to me, just cause it’s true is no reason to do that to me

Good. Until the U.S. stops its 🐂💩, I think it should stay that way. I hate saying that about my own country, but oh well….

I was in Canada recently and intentionally went shopping at grocery and liquor stores (beer, wine, spirits can't be sold at grocery stores in Canada). I can promise you there are no US produced goods ANYWHERE.

Congratulations to every single organizer, volunteer and attendee👏

History.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Get this out there.

He’s a traitor to our country

Welp.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Sliwa: Going after the criminals is the job of ICE. But now they have these quotas and they’re going around to courthouses and restaurants and let me tell you I have three kids and they’re not doing any of that kinda work. These migrants are essential workers

Unrelated but I may be having a stroke

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

Our pro-democracy movement responds to Trump by competing in elections, trying to pass legislation to help people, protesting peacefully, as Americans do.

It's Trump who is attacking America/our democracy, bringing violence to our streets, unprecedented corruption, rigging/overturning elections.

DC. No Kings!

Dems need to be as radical in doing good as Republicans are at doing evil

This is just straight-up treason by rubio, he's wrecking our ability to fight organized crime in order to help bukele cover up his apparently cozy relationship with MS-13 leadership and possible theft of us foreign aid, all so trump et al can get photos of us sending hairdressers to torture prison

Oh JFC. 😢

So, the thing is, the US has comparatively good human subjects protections compared to some peers. We have this because we have, collectively, committed terrible crimes and agreed to repent. This decision is not merely criminal it is an abomination.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

liberty (derogatory) vs liberty (praiseworthy)

They don't let me in the White House press pool because my question every day for the next week would be, "Does the president still want to take a shit on Americans?"

So I'm reading Ward McAllister's book, the one that got him in trouble with his society friends, and it's so annoying, it's one of those half-assed superficial memoirs that mentions titles and slides around actual names without ever telling anything particularly interesting.
