My hot take is that "corny" does not mean the same thing as "bad."

Cognitive dissonance in evangelical culture is a feature, not a bug.

Just a reminder: millions of people who live in “red” states didn’t vote for any of this shit.

Thousands of grandkids are trying to explain groypers to mee-maw at this very moment

Perhaps after the inevitable next time we can skip the whole "guess the motive" part of the name that shooter game

We're going to go back to blaming video games for violence again aren't we

Fall weather is here, new deftones is out. Morale is uncharacteristically high.

Gavin Newsom looks like the kinda guy robocop would toss out a window so I dunno.

Live your life in such a way that cracker barrel's marketing plans mean nothing to you.

It has been nice to find out how many of us are out there.

The line to piss on his grave will be so lit.

Oh sweet, James Dobson is dead. An entire generation of ex-evangelicals just breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, I'm something of a voting machine myself.

I long to become the sax solo from Turn the Page.

I love it when rural tough guys do cos play. Years ago they were all Jax teller and nowadays they're Rip. It's adorable.

Thinking about a career change. Does anybody know how to become the dude who dances onstage for Ska bands?

Fair enough. I think the source of my confusion is that some people are acting like this is some kind of massive act of betrayal by a beloved left wing figure and I'm not sure that's what he actually is. Maybe during the Iraq War, but now? I don't know.

I've seen it, but I don't watch it. Were you into him before this dinner with trump thing? If you're anti-lib and anti-vulgarity he probably isn't your guy. Maybe I'm wrong.

Not particularly. I just never got the appeal. I mean, sure he has an audience. But fans? At best I always saw him as a dude who was in the room when other, more interesting people were talking. I can get John Stewart or Tucker Carlson. They have fans and I understand why whether I agree or not.

I guess you're a fan, then?

Does Bill Maher have fans? Serious question.

I used to work in a factory with a guy who ate a praying mantis, btw.

I worked in manufacturing for a long time and it's very manly in the sense that we spent all our time drinking and contemplating death.

A fun thing they don't tell you about working in a factory is that everyone who works in factories fucking hates it.

one of my tiktok followers made this

Went on a cruise and made it a point to befriend as many Canadians as possible. You know, just in case.

Rural whites: nobody is more terrified of being scammed, and they get scammed constantly by the dumbest shit imaginable

I am sure the libs feel very owned.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools.

They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.
