"Human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.'"

This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.

Tim Kaine, Virginia will F U up if you vote unlimited money to help Trump and Hegseth try to tip off the biblical Armageddon. You know they have no plan but casualties, you will get primaried. Remember: no money, the troops come home, Iran is still stuck in Iran without a boat or a plane to visit.

Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we don’t we are unpatriotic so pay up.

The full article from the accounts of the MRFF. Sounds like a rogue officer in a Stephen King novel, not the actual chain of command. So many institutions are going to need thousands purged to undo the damage the GOP has done to us all.

Wow. It's not even an Epstein cover up, guys, it's a literal lead pipe huffing call to Biblical Armageddon through mass casualties on Earth at the highest levels of the Pentagon. Has anyone looked into Project 2025 running Q-Anon because it seems every accusation against Dems is a GOP confession...

America's first clock, but the fact that it was entirely wood too helps prove the genius. (Sorry an age of sail nautical nerd had to chip in on the history of clocks)

They're still out there licking boots. So weird that even a couple dozen Nazis made it this far in the story. The fact that many state they're not American in the comments make me think we have a few paid actors trolling while getting their culture time in. I think most of the Inn fans are like:

They have also released a video of Bear's "escape" that seems to be recycled footage from warehouse members of Bear attempting to flee the COSTCO BEFORE his arrest earlier today.

The Bear controversy has reached a chilling conclusion as the CPB office announced it’s agents lethally shot Bear during an escape attempt. Warehouse member photos show Bear’s lifeless body with only one arm free from restraint. They report 30 to 40 shots fired by federal agents at the scene.

Wittiness photos seem to provide another conflicting narrative: it seems Bear may have been fleeing the scene rather than resisting Loudoun Sheriff’s deputies.

DHS has released several photos of the incident, and seems to have coordinated a full blackout in the oligarch run media on the Leesburg bear abuse story. Office of VA Gov Spanberger has already released a statement on X to be cautious of deep fakes from the federal government

Bear captured at COSTCO after causing a disturbance at the warehouse. Loudoun Sheriff’s Office used unusual full body restraint methods that have Leesburg residents asking questions. DHS has already labeled Bear a domestic terrorist. Bear isn’t sapient, and seems incapable of terrorism.

Yeah I think the Temboragh tribe called their place something like Goblin Home before Rags named her base in the High Passes Goblin Home, and I hate to do this to you, but seperate those from the Goblin Lands in the Unseen Empire and the Goblin Island... Goblins' naming sense is a weakness...
