The kind of people who would modify their car’s exhaust to be louder also scored high on the “psychopathy and sadism” scale.

Thank you for all the kind words, everyone

A friend just pointed out:

"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability.  Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."

Let’s do this.

For lying to get elected, putting the country and the world through hell, stealing from the poor and giving the proceeds to the filthy rich, trying to steal an election through murderous violence, I think we can all imagine what the penalty should be.

So, 21 Republicans in Congress are planning on slowing things down and not doing any work in protest of Felon Trump being prosecuted.

My question is simple. How will we know the difference?

My housekeeper is coming in an hour so I just finished deep cleaning my entire home to ensure she doesn't know that I've ever peed in my toilet.

climate denier: 100 parts per million of CO2 can't possibly affect the climate. that's just too small of a change.

also climate denier: the Hunga Tonga eruption, which increased stratospheric water vapor by 5 parts per million, is 100% driving the HUGE warming of 2023-24.

@mekkaokereke It seems to me that the institution of "sheriff" is amazingly even *more* rotten than the police.

@mekkaokereke and just to drive the point home, here's a news article from today about a scandal-ridden far-right sheriff endorsing Donald Trump.

Looks like he has a bachelors degree, but it's from a for-profit online degree mill. I can't tell if that was before or after he joined the Oathkeepers.

1. The most accurate indicator of Trump support, is racism. The 2nd most accurate, is sexism. Not "economic anxiety." The only anxiety that they have, is that Black people might have some money.

2. Most Trump voters, were not working class.

3. Most Jan 6 participants, were rich.

4. Venture Capital, is the most racist part of the US financial/capital allocation system, by far.

Shout out to all the people just now learning that a US Sheriff, whose job is statistically safer than being a gardener, carpenter, or taxi driver, and that barely graduated high school, and whose job is mainly harassing and beating unarmed Black and Brown people... gets paid between 3X and 6X the salary of an active duty Navy Seal with 2 Masters degrees, on deployment in an active war zone.🙂🙃

6X. Not a typo.

Many of those sheriffs took time off of work to go act out at Jan 6. No SEALs did. 🤷🏿‍♂️

"So successful has white supremacist patriarchy been at convincing white women especially that they’re lucky to live in the U.S. and not Saudi Arabia or Iran, that so many white women did not pay enough attention to the theocracy that white supremacy was building right here at home. It was being built by white men who look like their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons, not the scary brown Muslim men with beards, right?"

I need someone to explain to me why Al Franken had to resign, but Matt Gaetz is still in Congress.

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

WOW! Laying out a document that's discussing netiquette.

NETIQUETTE!

There's a term from the last millennium unexpectedly rearing its head.

Phone numbers & addresses for Cohen's wife & #children were posted early Mon on a site that has been used to target other figures involved in Trump’s various #legal issues….

“What sad times we are living through when people resort to this type of doxxing stupidity to redress their grievances,” Cohen said….

#Trump supporters tried to #dox #jurors last week after his #conviction, & they also targeted #prosecutors & the #judge, Justice #Merchan, in the case w/ #threats. During the trial, the mother of a fmr police officer, #MichaelFanone, who was nearly killed on #Jan6, 2021, by *rioters* who believed Trump's lies about the #2020election was "#swatted" after her son called Trump "an authoritarian" w/ "a violence fetish."

"The CDC announced May 30 that a third person, a Michigan dairy farm worker, was diagnosed with the #H5N1 #BirdFlu virus...

...Health authorities are also monitoring 350 people who have been exposed, but only 40 farm workers have consented to testing"

Gee I wonder why.

Well, Tweeters' legions of blue-check incels are going to have more fun times on their fave platform.

But seriously though, I think Elon is so bleeding for money, his latest plan is to turn Tweeter into a new Onlyfans, giving the home-made porn crowd a new way to earn income via subscriptions.

I'm sure mainstream advertisers that remain are GONNA LOVE THAT.
