Make love, not war. We are a peaceful people.

And/or HOW they propose to imprison them. Answers tantamount to "we'll revert to pre-2024 application of process and norms and let SCOTUS spring them all on a bogus technicality" is an automatic no for me.

"Cops are just gangs and cause as much crime as they prevent" is a thing that I've always thought was childish and overwrought and I'm really struggling to maintain that skepticism at the moment.

What could go wrong?

Yes but have you considered that Mamdani is brown? Best to go with Cuomo who won't do shit about this or any other issue.

Like....that's a conversation that seems easy to have, like, one-on-one? Conveying the dangers and emptiness of falling into that, and the fun and excitement and fulfillment of connecting with someone else physically. IN REAL LIFE.

But to do that, like, on a mass level. Ugh. Just, ugh.

Everyone has an Italian nonna, you just need to find one and she'll take you in.

I legitimately dread having to have a national, inter-generational discourse about "why sex is a good thing" that needs to include "but not computers"

like, at least those guys (and they'll all be guys) will self-select themselves out of the dating pool?

It's so wild b/c obviously Charlie never said that. So not only is he mocking the dead guy, he's making stuff up to do it.

It's Grandma Pellegrini to you, and no, some of us obeyed our elders like good little picollinis.

The Iron Law of Trump - he will eventually humiliate his most obsequious lickspittles, even those who get murdered for him!

John Castiglione @johncastiglione.bsky.social · 13h

The point is not for us to squabble of whether something is or is not satanic, is or is not a mark that they actually worship this (frankly) ill-defined thing called "The Devil" but rather these guys clearly like, want, and in some sense worship evil. And that is something honestly pretty uncommon

Look I hear you but now literally every day their leader keeps directly inverting, literally with the exact words, Christian scripture which *according to mainstream Christian doctrine* which you may or may not subscribe to, is a mark of somethin gsatanic!

Trump on Charlie Kirk: "He was able to fight people that were enemies. And he didn't necessarily love those enemies so much. You know, I heard 'he loved his enemies' and I said, 'Wait a minute, is that the same Charlie that I knew? I'm not sure.' But I didn't want to get into it."

Disgusting. Greed gone wild.

Complete degenerates, and they can't even hide it any more

The defense is indefensible; six years on from being No. 1 in the league they are a sieve and have been for three years now.

The offense will be fine.

Take it from one who knows - it's much easier to build a documents case than getting a human that was there to say "this was intentionally cap circumvention" and Pablo has two such humans! From the finance department! And this is AFTER the documents speak for themselves.
