I deboned a ham for the church fundraiser and now Father John wants me to go to confession...

A succulent ham roasting in the oven on a tinfoil covered pan. The ham remains juicy, spilling its liquids out onto the tinfoil and crusting up in a way that makes you think… Yeah, that’s ready. The hambone has been removed, forcing the muscles to flop down Into the natural shape of a ladies bottom front. This is like an elite Arby’s sandwich.

Wow once again violent leftist antifa agents attack a brave right wing hero, in broad daylight, and the deep state DC security guards do nothing! 😱

I wonder will Warner Bros have any problem with a large company using the name of their IP for a feature that will no doubt lead to death and destruction. I assume not!

Was very lucky for my LC, our English teacher had us do the Truman show, curious incident of the dog in the night time and Othello, all pretty good ones imo.

Curious to return to this after the demographic breakdown of the election is released. I'd be surprised if there's very big differences in age groups and voting intentions, tbh. Probably skewing older for Humphreys but I doubt by massive margins.

As Heather Humphreys well knows and has been publicly reported, Béibhinn O’Connor is Catherine Connolly's campaign manager.

I'd say she is doing a pretty excellent job.

"the left are too into purity testing, they'll never get a candidate that satisfies them!"

"Don't the left know what [e.g. Catherine Connolly] has done? They'll vote for anyone that promises them anything!"

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...
