I am once again begging modern leftists to read up on Milwaukee's Sewer Socialists, the most successful socialists in the country's history. Cheerfully unglamorous bureaucracy is how you actually bring change!

I don't know why I'm so surprised he has a perfectly normal little chirp. I imagine the man with a baritone.

My single most traditionally conservative view is that gambling is a vice and society should make it hard to do.

What a handsome man!

Ma'am that is a grown man with a job.

Add to this baristas, bartenders, fast food workers, etc. If you're ungrateful to the people who bring you little treats, you shouldn't be permitted in public.

I'm my cat's third human. First owner developed a severe allergy during pregnancy, second owner had family issues that interfered with giving him proper care. He wasn't broken when I met him, he'd just been unlucky.

If a cat has the manual dexterity to puff a cigarette, they can also use your keys. Cigarettes are the least of that cat's humans' problems.

I read a lot of Anne Rice in middle school, and also all the Pern books, and was simply left with an understanding that sometimes authors have interests that you, the reader, will bounce off of.

It does kind of blow my mind when parents are told to monitor. My own parents saw my right to read what I pleased as sacrosanct.

My immediate thought is that perhaps both ends were pointed to allow a hunter to stick the spear in the ground while waiting for prey to come close to an ambush location, rather than need to hold it.

I have a theory that the two types of musical acts most likely to attract a crowd at a Wisconsin farmers market are a) polka, and b) ant Mexican style influenced by polka. Wisconsin craves the oom-pah.

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

He even comes front loaded with an incredibly cool nickname. I mean, the KHAN? Insanely good.

That's the thing that makes me think that there's really something to the extinction burst reading of our current crisis. See also how none of them will just flatly deny Trump being in the Epstein files. They know they're not untouchable. They expect consequences.

You can try to reach MAGA on religious grounds, but I'm afraid that right now they aren't listening. They refuse to see anyone outside their own narrow little worlds as their neighbors.

The percentage of Wisconsinites who have danced a polka unironically is a lot higher than out-of-staters might imagine.

As someone who qualifies for their stupid metric, I firmly consider myself less American than any person who just went through their naturalization ceremony. They earned it! I was just born here.

I wish I still believed in hell so I could feel certain they'd never evade punishment for this. This is the behavior of monsters.

This is how I find out that my state (WI) can fine you for even offering to tattoo a minor. Though I suppose a $200 fine isn't necessarily enough to truly dissuade a determined influencer who wants a tatted up kid.

Pierced ears are generally seen as okay since piercings will ordinarily close up if the child subsequently decides they don't like them. IMO it's best practice to wait and use it as 'baby's first big bodily autonomy decision', but it's not child abuse.

He looks like a cat who may have given the hay a gentle test nibble. Just in case. Donated in his honor!

If the average conservative Christian was like Phil, the world would have a much fonder view of Christianity. I don't agree with him on many things, but I trust the guy to remember the humanity of others.

My suspicion is that too many people have copies, and there's no way to quietly dispose of them.

It fascinates me, because you'd really think they'd have just manufactured fake evidence. Instead they've created a giant flashing neon 'Trump is guilty' sign.

They'll never forgive the Veggietales guy for turning out to be a Christian, not a Christian Nationalist.

Cruz is a despicable and craven creature, but I think he could have gotten the normal GOP technocrats to work for him instead of having to rely on a cabal of America's worst freaks.

As awful as they are, Cruz or Rubio would absolutely have not ended up like this, less on their own merits than because the parts of the GOP capable of competent administration would be willing to work for them. Trump attracts cranks only.

When I see GOP politicians insult the very young men most likely to vote for them, I start wondering if this is why so many guys think negging is a legitimate dating strategy.

Even I, an extremely casual paleo enthusiast, can rattle off at least two incidents where a backhoe operator specifically was the one to make the initial find -- the Windover bog bodies and the Cerutti mastodon site.
