It's all in how you look at things. For example, it's really difficult to steal a landfill, but anyone can take a dump.

Jesus really went "ignore all previous instructions and love one another" and his followers decided that meant "kill everyone who doesn't look/talk/believe like me"

Hot Water Balloon

Comic. [Giant balloon reminiscent of a hot air balloon but wavy and laying on the ground with “bloop” “bloop” sound effects. Two people are in a basket attached to one end of the balloon.] [caption] Hot water balloon rides turn out to be significantly less romantic than the air kind.

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do

Inverting the "discovery of the New World" narrative makes its absurdity clear.

"Nobody knew about Europe until 1492 when a few boatloads of them showed up lost."

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech”

After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls”

And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.

Donald Trump is engaged in the biggest cover-up in American history – and he's threatening members of congress to be complicit in his crimes.
