Over in Rindge! I took an art class there when I was a kid.

Filmed in Keene, was all anyone talked about for weeks. Right where that elephant crushes the car is where they set up the big scaffold to hold all the pumpkins for when they tried to get the world record for most jack o lanterns in one place.

It was Oswald and the Commission was thorough and in good faith, but only to an extent. It was agenda-driven and focused on enforcing a narrative that cauterized inflaming foreign relations. What it disregarded, ignored, and omitted in favor of that agenda backfired in the form of conspiracy theory.

Really feels like if you wanted a nuclear level return to the "woke" stuff that America's most useless centrist pundits spent a decade complaining about, you couldn't do anything more likely to make it happen than the sort of shit the Trump admin is currently doing.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

They're trying to lock in every last bit of racism they can.

I just quit on a post I was writing about this sort of thing, because there wasn't quite enough there, but it's worth noting that this sort of thing is unique to Dems, and loser shit/evil, but also stupid. None of these dorks will face ads in their home district re-election campaign about this!

Truly don’t think I’ve ever seen an audience react to a joke that way. They don’t even realize they should feel uncomfortable.

It's not just that the audience doesn't laugh at Maher's "joke" here, it's that they don't even register it AS a joke. They think he's still setting up a punchline. A truly remarkable level of bomb.

A guy makes ONE tiny mistake (has a years-long friendship with the world's worst sex trafficker; brags about sexually harassing colleagues; is racist; says women are stupid) and his whole LIFE is blown up (does slightly fewer speaking engagements; keeps teaching at #1 university)??!?!?!?!?!

People love to go "I want to leave Spotify but don't know what to use instead!" when the answer is so incredibly obviously "buy the music, the way every person did until 10 years ago."

I would to say that I didn't read the whole thing and I'd also love to say that the reveal at the end didn't legit shock me, but sadly, I cannot.

Calling childcare "goodies," like it's a decadent dessert -- Oh I couldn't possibly! ... Or could I? -- is straight up evil shit and if you think like this you got a fucking hole in your soul. Same with the "ice cream and ponies" shit they all pulled about M4A.

Over the years, I have met MULTIPLE people in the comedy world that were exactly like Matthew Macfadyen's version of Charles Guiteau in Death By Lightning.

If only we'd had long form improv in 1881, maybe James Garfield could have survived.

The Lowdown and One Battle After Another feel like they are in conversation with each other, and in a better media world there would be like a dozen blogs that would write pieces on stuff like that.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

honestly one of the most striking things about epstein's emails is the fact that the man, described in many places as "a genius," is essentially subliterate

Their conspiracies are basically a class-based version of the blue wall of silence among police. Protect your peers at all costs and don't sweat it too much, since no one has the guts/ability to stop you.

It's one of the reasons I don't believe in big, world-spanning conspiracies, just small disgusting ones.

No way these guys could all get on the same page about concealing proof of aliens without emailing "Did revenge porn on a grey last night" to Peter Thiel.
