Incorrect, Wyoming is physically beautiful. It's Indiana, answering the question "what if you made a state out of only the irredeemable parts of Ohio?"
I see that folks like to talk about [pick a Southern state] as "the worst" in the US, and it is incumbent upon me as a Hater to correct the record-- it is easy for folks to do this, but: you've forgotten about Wyoming.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
The seven-member body, whose ranks are composed of Trump appointees, was expected to approve the arch. The proposed monument strongly resembles Paris' Arc de Triomphe, but almost 100 feet taller. n.pr/3O5czfK

Fighting with the pope, thinking of himself as god, humiliated in a naval war of choice he assumed he would win easily over an "inferior" people, surrounded by kook healers and medical advisors, obsessed with familial legacy in the shadow of an actually successful father, this man is Nicholas II
Troops and their families have been pushed back to the United States after their bases in the Middle East were threatened by Iranian counterattacks. Community groups are scrambling to react.
Fox News was just talking about Soleimani’s niece and grand niece getting arrested by ICE: “Both were granted asylum in 2019 under the Biden administration.”
The question of who was actually president from Jan. 2017- Jan. 2021 continues to perplex Trump supporters.
This cartoonishly childish Hegseth persona is an insult to the American military, the American people, the Iranian people, and just about everybody affected by this war. It is absolutely incredible, in the literal sense, that this man is at the hinge of the chain of command in this spiraling war.
I’ve also been comparing AI to asbestos and radium—technology that had a bunch of benefits but then turned out to be deadly. The only difference is we already KNOW AI is killing people and they’re shoving it into everything anyway
Palantir reported $1.5 billion of U.S. income but paid exactly zero federal income tax in 2025. Despite explosive growth, tax breaks from the Trump tax law helped Palantir avoid paying even a dime of federal income tax on its earnings. itep.org/palantir-pay...
I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
I fully recognize this is a “me” problem but I sincerely wish the Duffer brothers had just spent 10 fucking minutes talking to literally anyone who ever served in the military.
