stifling a giggle Ok now try to use it.

This is all very exciting.

It’s OK, I have all my backups on floppy disks. I keep them on the fridge with a magnet so I’ll always know where it is.

It’s a good thing his fenced property was protected by Secret Service agents. Gun control for me but not for thee.

I always assume someone is as smart or smarter than me. I’m not that smart, so it works out most of the time. But it’s kind of like being tall. I’m taller than average, but I have a hard time judging if someone is taller or shorter than me. I really only notice height in the extremes, and sometimes I’ll think “That person is really tall” but then we’re in a picture together and I am much taller.

If I talk to someone who is very smart, it’s immediately obvious. If I meet someone who is very stupid, it is immediately obvious. In between the extremes, it isn’t particularly memorable.

I can’t say I’ve ever noticed anyone pretending to be stupid to blend in.

I’m not entirely sure, because I’ve never gotten the hang of Twitter. But reading between the lines, I think this is the sequence of events:

Libertarian twit tweets a death threat against Harris.

Libertarian twit is reminded of the rules (and common decency) and removes the offending tweet.

Libertarian twit passive aggressively tweets about having removed the tweet they twote, invoking the promises of free speech to imply that Leon was censoring their tweets and trampling on their freedoms.

Leon responds to the complaint with the tweet the twit twote, simultaneously demonstrating that the twit is a twat and amplifying the message.

Trump lives on the wrong side of every line. If you can no longer support him after his latest transgression, you are probably on the wrong side of a bunch of issues. I’m glad people are realizing they cannot support him anymore, but there is not nearly enough introspection among former Trumpers.

The delusion is thinking you can change things with a single election. If you don’t like the two party system (and I don’t) then you must get more involved in politics than voting for the president. You would need to elect principled progressives at every level of government, fight against fascism at every opportunity, and diligently protect the progress we have made.

Voting for a third party candidate is like showing up to a birthday party as they’re lighting the candles and complaining that nobody asked you about the decorations. It doesn’t matter if your objections are valid, you’ve missed the window to do anything about it.

Oh no, disingenuous bigots are critical of someone they hate because of something inconsequential.

Who is she?

If it’s too short to twirl, how is that more convenient?

I recently saw some packaged chicken sausages that said “all white meat” and I was confused.

When his judges are presiding, yes.

Have people been killed?

That’s Laura Loomer on the left. She’s an absurd conspiracy theorist, an unrepentant bigot, and Former President Trump’s current mistress. She has had a fuck ton of plastic surgery, and as a result her skin is all shiny and bloated, like she’s wearing a skeletor mask under her face. She bears an uncanny resemblance to the puppet from Saw.

He’s probably pinin’ for the fjords

I see what’s happening here.

You’re face to face with greatness, and it’s strange.

Moscow agreed to discharge Indian nationals who were illegally inducted into the Russian Armed Forces during a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin in July.

The way this is written, the dangling modifier makes it sound like the Indian nationals were illegally inducted into the Russian Armed Forces during the meeting. Like Modi met with Putin, and the Indian staff members and security detail that came along were corralled into a bus and shipped to the front lines. Then Modi comes out of the meeting looking like the Vincent Vega meme, and turns to Putin who is like the Fidel Castro Simpsons meme.

Moscow agreed during the meeting to discharge the illegally inducted Indian nationals.

25% over four years is garbage.
