All I want is for this one skeet to be the single thing that survives our civilization, I want it floating through space in a pot fragment and for aliens to have to understand our world from this, and only this:

Pavarotti orange spray tan girdle-guy who replaces his trophy wife with a younger version to keep up his gender imageβ€”that's also gender care.

there's probably something to be said about certain people in South Dakota thinking Mpls-St.Paul is Sodom and Gomorrah but of weak ear-gauge blue hair tattoo people and that's also been in the mix and now there's something to be said about the Rock Paper Scissors of Pierre vs. Mpls but who cares

right? dangerous conditions is when people don't like you. what a bunch of whiny babies. I will never get over the right wing freak out over Becca Good. I have seen equivalently serious trash talk when a group of mom friends sets up a picnic table.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

University community critiques GOP proposal of Charlie Kirk statue on campus A group of Minnesota Republican senators introduced a bill to construct a statue of political activist Charlie Kirk on the University of Minnesota campus this past September, following his death....

hell no. Charlie Kirk had no connection to Minnesota. A GOP proposal to use state tax money to build a statue to him is just more shitposting as policy. gross.

Yes. The Quatari jet, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia billions, the UAE crypto stake. But if you follow the logic of 'KSA, UAE and Quatar wanted him to do this' ... where do you get? Either: Iran just sucks and everyone's fed up, or it's a Sunni/Shia conflict.

Faith and the Middle East: How religion could fuel a wider war The killing of Iran's supreme leader and ensuing Middle East instability could revive sectarian clashes and see religion emerge as a mobilizing tool.

I dunno this just increasingly looks like a Sunni/Shia conflict and Trump is on the Sunni (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, & Qatar) side.
