I also thought they were taking pains not to say "no kings", like how they're careful to say "antifa" rather than "against fascism". I feel like Bissent has gone off script here, but perhaps that would be folly -- a floundering dipshit surely couldn't be appointed to a cabinet post.

I presume everyone who sees this swallows a sheet of sandpaper and then reads it aloud.

To be fair, “the Hate America Rally” is only neck and neck with “the big ugly bill” for elevated mediocrity.

There must be as many as ten “Hamas supporters” in the entire country, but there probably are a few million dickheads who are furiously checking tattoos.

I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.

No it isn't. You're reading marketing copy without flagging it as an ad, and you know it.

I went to fact-check a claim of gas being super cheap, expecting them to have deflated the price like they inflated the price of eggs back when those were supposedly so dear as to swing elections. He said $2.20, I found $2.70. Just a little fudged.

Where is gas $2.70?! Clayton, NC. Here, it's $5.

In quick succession, I found my headphones, speaker, and earbuds didn't work. All for different reasons. I panicked that I'd gone momentarily deaf, and it took a moment to understand that hearing everything else meant I hadn't. I was not deaf, but certainly stupid, for about three seconds.

Fun!

How is the material those minis are made of? Are they the softer board game plastic, or something more like a hobby game?

Today I discovered that cassettes were the best-selling format for music for only about seven years, thirty years ago. I don't often feel my mortality but this has me shook.

Is any of this getting on Fox, or are they blurring the giant silly animal costumes and pretending it's nudity?

I don't think I've ever seen anyone call themselves "antifa", or even anti-fascist. They just protest and call out fascism. It seems more of their term, especially because it sounds just a little foreign.

She settles back down at the desk like the animation has to be exactly 50f long and the animator hopes the transition blend will be fine.

Creatures like Mike Johnson aren’t smart, they’re bullies who reflexively nip at unprotected throats. Simply lie to them. Lying to an animal doesn’t count.

Democrats need to play to win. Everyone agrees. Their failure to try has led to children being zip-tied in the dark by masked thugs.

So, Grijalva vows to vote against releasing the Epstein files. Jeffries is furious, publicly. They swear her in. She then votes to release the Epstein files. Easy?

AI art levels the playing field, so people who don't know what a human looks like can enjoy a fuller integration of expression with people who don't know what a human looks like.
