I've never hit a woman and my entire upbringing tells me how wrong it is to hit a woman.
I probably would have hit this woman.

This woman stood outside of a busy local Korean restaurant and started yelling for them to go back home to their Country! She continued to do this so the police were called and she was actually arrested! 😎💙😎👏

it's not just appropriating someone's artwork (important as that is!); it's also reframing these incredibly sheltered comemierdas, who shift all the risk and consequences from their decisions onto others while hoarding the profits, into this position of casual, almost heroic precarity.
I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Billionaires need to be a thing of the past. This post is so out of touch. He seems to think we don't have all those issues now. I struggle every single year to get my FDA approved drugs authorized and it usually takes me 6 months to see the specialist that I've seen for years.
how long before he complains "people are mean and wont engage in serious debate on The Echo Chamber site"

Wait we have two parties?
Democrats keep voting for Trump's bills, and against his impeachment. What's the point in having two parties now?

Do people believe this shit? Does anyone think that free market economics works with healthcare? Gonna look for a heart surgeon on temu?
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

🚨 New York Times reports more details than we've had before on how Donald Trump's administration pulled strings to pressure Romania to allow Andrew Tate to travel while he was charged with crimes including trafficking minors and violently beating and raping a 15-year-old girl.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Maybe folks need examples of shingles. I rarely post pics of myself but here's two one with shingles in the early painful part where my eye is swollen shut and one when I'm healing which kinda looks worse but felt better. Yes each scab left a nasty scar. I was lucky that it didn't get in my eyeball

More than that, his crew threatened to open fire on the murderers. He rescued civilians, returned to base to refuel, flew back, and rescued more civilians. Then he denounced the crimes to his HQ.
For all this he received death-threats throughout his life.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
