Sincerely doubt it. The MAGA base would be happy to have a new snuff film. DHS will probably cut it into a new sizzle reel.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Oh I know this one. It’s because their understanding of ‘free speech’ is MANDATORY LISTENING To them Only Forever. They believe they have an inalienable right to an audience and a microphone, always.

Not to mention the occasional skewering like "Your Racist Friend". "This is where the party ends I can't stand here listening to you And your racist friend I know politics bore you But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you And your racist friend..."

Serendipity: “Before we appeared on the Johnny Carson show, the scrupulous bandleader made us rehearse it several times using a metronome, but for the actual performance the count had somehow been set 10 beats-per-minute faster. It was hard to sing that fast, but it gave it a nervous energy.”

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

2/ Universal HBV vaccination within 24 hours of birth has worked incredibly well to safely protect infants from lifelong hep B infection. CDC surveillance data (2008-2023) show that among those age 0-19 (the cohort protected by universal HBV-BD) acute hep B rates have been ZERO since 2011.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Literally a week ago, the press secretary was demanding that the six people that made a video about not following illegal orders provide an example of an illegal order that’s been given. It’s been seven days and we’re already at ’shooting at shipwreck survivors, final answer’

Two concepts that can both be true at the same time: 1. Donald Trump is bad. 2. You don't need to mention him in response to my posts about iron man farting or whatever.

Mr. President, I got a 0% on my polar zoology essay titled "The Abominable Snowman: He's Real." I am clearly being persecuted by the radical left.

When no one wanted to know about AIDS, when the government didn't care about the death of so many gay men, when everyone wanted to look away, this was the energy Elizabeth Taylor brought for real. She *meant* it. It's a beautiful thing, this energy.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The wealthy have stolen so much wealth and rigged the system so far that our economy is on the verge of collapse. They’re pushing fascism and dismantling democracy to get at what little remains. We don’t have to live like this. We deserve better. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-game-t...

In a class long ago the Prof. Asked us why we are taking the class. One girl said she had a vision of 3 witches turning in a circle, so that made her know Jesus is real. That was her answer. The class was quiet and we moved on, no one acknowledged what she said was bat shit.

there is a cybertruck in the driveway of a house I pass on the way to work and I laugh and flip it off every time I see it. recently they have parked a dumpster in the driveway next to it. unfortunately I have been unable to get a good picture of it but regardless: LMFAO

I dunno, that seems more likely to make you think that Hecate or the Morrigan is real. TF does Robe Boy have to do with witches???* *More than you might think, says Robert Graves. But he was also munching the funny mushrooms, so take that with a giant halite crystal 🤷‍♂️
