The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

See it's just that, in the wake of his win, every politician across the country has decided the main takeaway doesn't have anything to do with the cost of living crisis or basic service delivery. Instead they all think he discovered One Weird Trick to campaign messaging.

These past few years are making it more and more difficult to concentrate on things that matter such as who will the Saints draft

makes me sick how the sensible classes all have to cluck their tongues and say that there's no love lost for the ayatollah/maduro, and the troops were flawless. but we have concerns about the day after and the way that it was blah blah

so youre saying he did a good thing. youre saying do it again

What I been saying. This should have been evident to anyone paying attention since 2003 at the latest. But really you can see further back. The US hasn't seriously aspired to democracy since the failure and rollback of the 1960s movement politics. www.foreignexchanges.news/p/the-end-of...

my problem with these takes, is it's like imagine if you were being attacked by a tiger at the zoo, and the zookeeper was over there kinda halfheartedly going "hey. come on now. get off him" and you went HEY WHAT THE FUCK! and the zookeeper went "uh don't oyu think you should be angry at the tiger?"

You do have to wonder if this whole Iran war business is just an attempt to distract us from Shia LaBeouf's second arrest.

Donald Trump had just posted on Truth Social what appears to be a justification for war with Iran, claiming Tehran tried to interfere in the 2020 and 2024 U.S. elections. Earlier, in a speech, he said Iran posed an β€œimminent threat” to Americans which necessitated toppling the regime.

Yeah I think the Dept of Wildlife and Fisheries put out a nutria cookbook, actually. When I was at LSU, nutria sauce picante was common tailgate fare.

anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

The key difference is between those of us trying to inform one another honestly vs people trying to build brands and make money.

I think there is a proper way to share the good spots. Talk to your friends about them. Maybe make a list online every now and then. But mostly post about them in conversation. Hype videos by professional influencers, however, are from Satan.

Seriously, they can object to the actual war instead of just procedure. Further seriously, my answer in recent previous posts to questions like this:

this is what we're upset about? the timing and etiquette of it?
