Still waiting for an answer on this one.

Dear MAGA: why would Donald consider pardoning Maxwell, a sex trafficker for Epstein? Again a reminder, Biden is not president and you guys called for the release of the files repeatedly. So… why?

Every marketing conversation I've ever had:

Me: I'm just not getting a good ROI. You cost more than I'm getting.

If you take the idea of demons literally, I have to conclude that you are either: 1) psychotic, or 2) at a really fun slumber party

This was illuminating regarding motive. I still think you've got to have something super wrong with your thinking to be willing to die over your hatred of a different religion, and to spend your last breath murdering people attending church. youtu.be/yj_j-9urdrs

He was also prevented (previously) by the OK SCOTUS from requiring all schools to include the Trump Bible in every classroom. These guys are so brazen!

I listened to Nineteen, the 80s dance mix by Paul Hardcastle about the Vietnam War: 1) it's basically wikipedia set to techno pop, 2) that song still slaps

Oklahoma just got a little bit more OK with this change

Takes one to know one is my guess. Every accusation is a confession

1) That's an extremely flattering statue of Trump looking young & fit, and 2) please please please let the statue be called "the wonderful secret"

I can't wait until 25+ years from now when school children are required to watch Succession as part of their civic instruction on how democracies die. **That presumes that at some point, the US moves on from demagogues and sanity is restored.

Just saw a section in the menu for "fur babies" and it took me a minute to realize it wasn't veal etc, that it was for pets. And that's the difference between restaurants in Oregon and Arizona. Gotta say, I haven't had a bad meal here yet, nor a good ice cream.

The Supreme Court says colleges can’t consider race. But ICE can. So much for the justices' promise of a "colorblind Constitution."

Two others I recall:
- A "modesty" poster that told women to "get on your knees" (to prove your skirt was long enough to reach the floor)
- A BYU-I poster that blurred out a hiker's tan shorts because at the time shorts were against the dress code. He looked naked from waist down as a result.

This could legit be a poster at BYU, the headquarters of Tobias Funke accidental double entendres

This reminds me of when we were eating lunch in a cafe in Greece, and a French woman went inside to get her husband a cold cut sandwich. There was a very skinny stray kitten begging from all the patrons. She fed the meat to the cat, then told her husband "Sorry, they only had tomato left."

Respect.
