Crime Sprees

Invoking the factory seems like the special move where Yugi is dueling an 1800's robber baron type. And then Yugi has internal monolog about how he has to trust the heart of the cards to hope to defeat something that strong then cut to commercial for the new super soaker followed by kids spy gear.

“Toxic Empathy” author Allie Beth Stuckey is now asking for folks to understand that ICE has separated a good man from his family over a paperwork issue.

this is like a reverse "daisy." an ad so reprehensible that it detonates the candidate's campaign. tiffinohio.net/posts/acton-...

My wife and I wrote our own vows which included various and sundry disavowals. Brotherhoods. Sisterhoods. You name it.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

the second el-sayed chose to treat tommy as an equal and not a nuisance, tommy was cooked

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

I thought I had at least passing familiarity with conspiracy theories until the man sitting next to me at the Lebanon, OH Skyline told me “space ain’t real.” “What do you think is between us and the moon?” an employee asked. The man seemed to think about this for a moment. “The moon…is with us.”

I feel the flames encroaching

Jim Bakker kicked the bucket, and it was full of three-decade old pudding.

@vicbergeriv.bsky.social wow! ... ... ... wow!

No one makes soup like my Grandpa’s, with its diced carrots the perfect size and its diced potatoes the perfect size and its wee soft bits – what are their names? … —Jackie Kay, “Grandpa’s Soup” in DARLING, @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social 2007 #poem #GrandparentsDay www.bloodaxebooks.com/ecs/product/...

Drink Hogwater. It’s on your side.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

It was pretty controversial at the time too because of that recent rash of news stories of all those electrocuted surfing mice.

Two profs posted their academic genealogy on their lab door, which is a neat idea.

These people are beyond help, redemption, or reintegrating into society. When Trump is out of office without bringing great wealth to his believers, they will have nowhere to go and few people who won't shun them. You can't worship Trump for a decade+ then just go back to normal life.

First you call it Global Rounding now we have to say it's Shape Change. What is it, liberals?

What happened to calling some broad with gams toots? Feminism needs to reclaim toots (tuts?).

They really had it *all* orchestrated, didn't they? The talking points, the tweets, the podcasters, the interview hits on Fox, the overall RW echo chamber ready to go into hyperdrive, etc They wanted to drive that all the way to Election Day But their incompetence and stupidity blew it all up

[SENATOR ERIC SCHMITT]: So you’re telling me under oath that you’ve never spoken with an Attorney General nominee? [JACK SMITH]: No, I don’t think— [SCHMITT]: WELL THEN *unveils poster* please explain this picture of you with Matt Gaetz! [SMITH]: That is Media Matters senior fellow Matt Gertz

Those who live by the ball knowledge dunks shall die by the ball knowledge dunks. That's in the Bible.

I repeat:

ask not for whom the bell saves

Claude is that good?

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

There's something about this collection of guys but I can't qwhite put my finger on it.

This is both hilarious and an inspiration

This is extraordinarily well written.

“So, Tom. Your new film with [exaggerated accent] Alejandro Iñárritu, the one with the [voice raises an octave] insensitive title?” “It’s actually D-“ “Oh, you don’t care about that sort of thing [batting his leg with his papers] do you? This must be [voice drops 3 octaves] The New Hollywood.”

I said it 11 days ago and I'll repeat it louder for those in the back. Drew is reaping the end game benefits of a well played mid game. #bb28

there are 70 million people for whom this is the biggest song in the world. they watch comedies called like "Wives of Jim" that have run for nine seasons. they're usually pretty affable in person. in 2024 they severed the fate of humanity because of egg prices

My toddler is just jibber-jabbering away in his crib at 3:30 in the morning. "I $childname. I a chicken. I so yummy. I have no pants. I need help with my pants. It's so chilly." His little imagination is just exploding recently. I love it so much.

I'm in love with the shape of coup took the Strait and al-Mandab too all your boats, now they can't get through and we're drone bombing Saudi 🎶

My mom used to make me hot tea "and crumpets" as a kid, and the "crumpets" were just two whole saltine crackers she'd put in the tea.
