Do your damn job, Secretary Barbie. …actually, I take that back. It’s an insult to Barbie. Do your damn job, Noem. A personal apology to each of the families mourning the loss of their loved ones in the TX floods would be a good place to start.

Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas

Fire her. Blood on her hands.

Hm, is that Jeff Bezos’s wedding going on above? How many bathroom breaks do you suppose the Amazon workers below are allowed?

“From The Depths,” William Balfour Ker

“From the depths” by William Balfour-Ker. A lavish party of the wealth is interrupted by an upraised fist breaking through their dance floor; underneath we can see the entire party venue is built on the shoulders of the marginalized and lower classes.

Like a child not asking his parents for permission before playing with matches because he knows they’ll say no.

This is why the Bible wasn’t translated out of Latin into common languages for centuries. This is why it was a crime to teach American slaves to read. This is why women weren’t allowed to go to school (and still aren’t, in some places). If you keep the populace dumb, they won’t rise up against you.

Right, but this dude genuinely does not have a soul, so…

Under grilling by Jon Ossoff, Russ Vought repeatedly refuses to admit that it was a mistake to fire the federal employees who oversaw the safety of the nuclear stockpile (a mistake the administration acknowledged when they had to scramble to hire them back)

Welp.

I’m holding a tiny vial up to my phone so I can catch some of those tears and drink them for breakfast.

I’m sure this time will be different. </sarcasm>

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

Us: “Don’t make bombs!”
Them: “What’re you gonna do about it?”
Us: “Bomb you!”

Does anybody see the problem here?

Where “scheduled” = “I got bored and people were as mean to me as I was to them and I didn’t like it”

You’ve clearly been eating too much avocado toast and drinking too many fancy lattes. 🙄

O noes! Someone paid an artist for their valuable time and experience?! Call 911! Call The Hague! Call God!!

Yes. Specifically, a comdocudramhormyscrithrildisactionfanmusical. They’ll have to create a new Oscars category for it.

"Sometimes flawed people build useful things." Musk didn't even invent the Tesla. Eberhard and Tarpenning did. Let's stop treating Musk as if he's some sort of genius.

Thank you for introducing the moniker "Shitler" into my lexicon. Rest assured it will be well used. 🤣💩
