I must be reading the wrong dark romance books, because they're closer to cavemen then liberals...

IDK if I have great life advice, but I think "live your life surrounded by people who will tell you why this is a bad idea" is pretty solid

They think they can run off to their little bunkers and private islands when shit goes bad. Too bad they pay people minimum wage to wipe their ass for them

I am crossing intimidating off my list of compliments, but I am curious. Does it sound any different coming from a woman?
thinking of how I typically use it, I think I might say "she's so inspiring" instead.

I can't comment, but at least as far back as Mary I in England, when violence committed against humans was less important than the violence committed against faith and the vehicles of faith (i.e. churches). The denunciation of several "heretics" came on nothing more than the strength of their brick.

'Bosie' Douglas, an OG Demon Twink, is born. Bosie is known for his affair with Oscar Wilde and his father's crusade to bring Oscar down.

Bosie once described Wilde as "the greatest force for evil" but still made money writing about their relationship.

Has anybody told John Fetterman that he can just shut up? He can just stop talking. Stop trying to be in the limelight. Stop being a Republican. Just wondering.

Idk about bona fide, which is just weird, but divisive is probably leftover from his private school days
I grew up around the corner from Phillips Exeter, and you could pick out the people who went there by where they put long vowels in.

The worst part about losing all the dogs in the house in a week is the sudden silence where there should be noise. The doorbell rang and I didn't know it was going to happen because buddy cop one and two hadn't assumed the position.
Hug a fur baby for me.

Would recommend trying on shoes in person and not through the website if that option is available for you. The shoe sizes run a little off. Too narrow in "my" size, but too wide if I get the wides.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Hey, you can leave the US government shut down until the US mint stops saying it is going to mint a Trump coin, too.

I'm not an advocate for violence, but as I told a friend the other day, not enough people get popped in the mouth for the shit they say on the internet. If more people understood that saying this to someone's face was a good way to take a nap, there'd be less people saying it.

Map of 50 United States plus District of Columbia colored with preference to living in state. 21 states, primarily northern, are marked red for never. Four states are marked light green for willing, mostly in the South. Ten states are marked orange for reluctantly, scattered across the whole map. Six states, predominantly along the Gulf coast, are marked peach for maybe. Nine states and the District of Columbia are marked dark green for absolutely, primarily in the northeast.

What can I say except I'm an east coast snob?
Honestly though, some of those reluctant states, I've already lived in πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

The two parties in this country are ActBlue slop and cable television slop and all of the otherwise baffling decisions of their politicians are basically explainable in this framework.

It's really strange how the secretary of war doesn't know that actually lost battles aren't fought on the battlefield anymore, so the physical "fitness" of soldiers is not either a required or desired trait in a military having difficulty recruiting.

"Virginia Tech swimmer speaking out after losing to biological male"
Fuck off. She lost to 16 people, including one trans athlete, in a needlessly gendered race, in the NCAA. She lost because she wasn't good enough and it had nothing to do with her opponents.

What LSU is paying Brian Kelly to coach football over ten years is almost the same amount it would take to build the school the new library it desperately needs. Just thought I'd post that tonight, for no particular reason.
