Holy shit. Prager U, which now produces history content for classrooms, is featuring a video that ties Hamas and October 7th to the prophecies in the Book of Revelation.

A lot of them are wearing masks and throwing brown people into vans. It's like a fantasy come true.

All we wanted was a chance to talk

It's weird that the guy who made the spyware app that Mike Johnson uses to spy on his son's porn-watching, and vice versa, was found to have a stash of CSAM and that just blipped right out of the news.

Thank you.

I see not just NYT but other newspapers that are maligned on socials continuing to do great and necessary journalism. I think people have forgotten how much of what they know comes from the work of their reporters.

And sometimes they'll print a headline or an op-ed you won't like.

How do Republicans imagine better versions of Democrats than Democrats do?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5d

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Maybe nothing in sports as close to hard drugs as watching a bullpen rollicking in and out of jams, wet hair and strange jewelry, spitting and cursing, having entire conversations with themselves. A ship of filthy pirates drunk on the high seas.

I'm not blaming the victim, I'm questioning whether the story is real or just trolling.

Do we know this person? How do we know they're not just pranking us?
