Honestly, I kinda WANT to see the White Sox win the World Series again...I suspect it'll be the first time an MLB team is hosted at St. Peters'...

Fun fact: my mother-in-law used to make MJs suits.

She was 5’2” and the jackets were almost as tall as her. 😂

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Women abused by Jeffrey Epstein have sued Bank of America, alleging it “showed absolute loyalty to Epstein, including a willingness to violate banking laws, ignore multiple red flags of criminality, and participate directly in sex trafficking to enable Epstein to fulfill his abusive sexual appetite”

Pam, your definition of “violent offenders” - progressive leftists - and my definition of “violent offenders” - pedophiles and rapists - are very different.

Probably because you are terrorizing their communities.

"enjoyed" is not exactly the right word, but i did... devour this piece by @usefulnoise.bsky.social, who spent a day at the big christian MAHA convention in alexandria this weekend:

What I Saw at This Weekend’s Minnesota MAHA Fest Scared the Hell out of Me - Racket

Over 1,000 Christian opponents of modern medicine descended on Alexandria, MN, to testify that drugs, doctors, and Satan were making us all sick at the 7th annual Freedom Summit.

Halloweeeen 🎃 🧙🏻‍♀️🧝🏾‍♀️🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♀️🥷🏻🦸🏾🧑🏿‍🍳👻

When in doubt, ask yourself-
What would Geordi say 🖖🏾

Same 2 paneled Geordi/Drake meme

This time the No panel reads: “Reconciliation & Healing”

The Yes panel reads:
“Motherfucking Consequences”

Same Geordi/Drake meme:

The text for the No panel reads,
“Do not comply in advance" for 3 reasons:
"bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later."

The text for the Yes panel reads, "Fuck you, make me" and compares the 3 reasons:
"leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner."
