One thing I didn't expect to learn in Japan is that I eat my ramen too slowly and waiting for it to cool down a lil is a bit of a faux pas. Like I just don't want a scalded mouth or heartburn 🥺

Vance spent years being fellated and fawned over as this intellectual titan of the New Right with piercing insights into the American psyche that you just HAD to pay attention to, and he really is just the most vilely demagogic bottom-feeder we've seen in national politics in a long, long time.

WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act?

VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control

W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland

V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly

It’s funny that there’s a pattern now of MAGA loons freaking out about news of something happening, threatening revolt, then being wrong, and a few days later they don’t talk about it anymore. It’s happening now with Bad Bunny. It happened with Cracker Barrel. And with the death of Charlie Kirk

Israeli forces have detained 223 international activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla. Despite more than 40 reported interceptions, one vessel, Mikeno, successfully broke through and reached Palestinian waters for the first time in a historic development, breaching the Israeli blockade.

Claiming it’s misogynistic to comment on a bag that costs some people’s salary, falls into the lie that feminism means it’s wrong to say anything bad about a woman, rather than believing that women are equal human beings deserving of rights, which obviously is not something Maria herself believes
