See: all the "I'd rather my child die of a preventable disease than have adhd/autism/whatever we're blaming on vaccines today" folks

That's a photo of a rally in DC, but a lot of streets do look alike

If you'd prefer, "agnostic" is literally saying that you don't know (I'd say also valid for don't care, doesn't feature in your daily life at all), whereas "atheist" is making the positive claim that there is no god. But in casual use the two get used basically the same way, so whatever you like.

He'll join Noem in complaining that they're hiding the terrorism from him

As Kristi Noem said, she knows there's terrorism everywhere in Portland, but for some nefarious reason the mayor was hiding all the terrorism from her.

Seriously.

Eh, at least that'll make the ride smell better!

Yes, but if they believe it when they're told it's the Democrats causing it, they won't blame Republicans for it.

Unless your base, who's happily and eagerly believed you unquestioningly for years, continues to believe you when you say it's the evil Democrats causing it all.

The guy who keeps invading cities and bombing foreigners whenever he feels like it and keeps dangling invasion of Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela didn’t win the Nobel peace prize this year

The forum here is a music recording, in particular a rap “diss track,” with accompanying video and album art. Diss tracks are much more akin to forums like YouTube and X, which “encourag[e] a freewheeling, anything-goes writing style,” than journalistic reporting. Sandals Resorts, 86 A.D.3d at 43 (quotation marks omitted). The average listener is not under the impression that a diss track is the product of a thoughtful or disinterested investigation, conveying to the public factchecked verifiable content.

Mine at that age howling because she didn't want to get out of the bath but also didn't want her fingers wrinkled.

I suppose going from quite underweight to a reasonable size and then heavily pregnant could do it, perhaps?

We've already seen they set their "let's invite random folks off our contact list to join in" signal chat messages to auto-delete, so I'm guessing they don't care one bit about records retention.

That second group is HUGE.

It's why cops can make @ryanmarino.bsky.social sigh by saying "three officers had [list all the symptoms of a panic attack and none of fentanyl use] after thinking traces of fentanyl might have been on a doorknob, such brave warriors!" and it gets reported w/o questions.

This is a professor at Rutgers who teaches a class on the history of anti-fascism. He also teaches about human rights. He has received multiple death threats and been doxed. He is relocating to Europe for his safety. This is where we are in the US now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Read that as MiGs, and that made Chicago seem very exciting all of a sudden!

Lots of recent tradcath converts have decided that the Pope isn't Catholic enough.

I like the outsider telling you that you're wrong about your country and the government it took a popular uprising to overthrow was really what people really and freely wanted.

And can't understand the concept of adjectives, so you complain about violent men or toxic masculinity and they ask why you hate all men and all masculinity

It's bad no matter who does it, yes.

Sadly, very few modern phones have a headphone jack. If you can source a box of wireless headphones cheaply, perhaps?

All else aside, Birdo has been born-male -but-wears-pretty-hairbows since the beginning.

That's their style guide - they also referred to President Carter, President Bush, etc. Is it that you don't like their impartial practice and wish they'd referred to President Carter but just Mr Trump? Or that you want them to change their style guide and refer to everyone as Mr/whatever afterward?

I can fight with truth on my side and don't need to lie.

I'm sorry you're not in that same position.

So you're saying they made a law saying "furloughed employees won't get paid unless Congress passes a bill expressly saying they'll get paid," which therefore changed nothing from the situation before that law? Why would they have made that law, then?

Well, he said he wants to lay people off instead of furlough them (regardless of the laws), so...

Haven't they already? That Chicago apartment raid, people reported valuables missing afterwards.

So you're saying there's no truth to back up your arguments, or that you don't care that you're lying, because lying is what gets you the power you crave?

I guess that's one type of person.

If you can't make your point without lying, it's not a good point.

If you think it's a good point, don't try to back it up with lies.

For those members of the public who get all their news from CBS, do you suppose they'll air the Democratic party's statements on why not to trust CBS?
