It's been my personal anecdotal experience that people who have gone no contact with a parent usually have done so for good reason, and that re-establishing contact on the parent's terms would do both parties more harm than good.

The Kill Bill post-credits Fortnite short is so ill-conceived and poorly executed it's astonishing. How did nobody in the chain of decision-making ever say, "Hey wait a minute, this sucks"?

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.

All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Super out of pocket, but you'll convince me that Jesus existed when you can cite a witness to his existence who wrote it down within 20 years of his death.

It's reasonable to require that level of evidence, and the whole Christian establishment has gaslit everyone into accepting poorer standards.

The rich people who control everything aren't special. They're not smart, not even smarter than your average college student. They got to their position through family, ruthless exploitation of labor, and government largesse. You could replace them with a turnip and their companies would be fine.
i think my favorite part about elon musk is through joining up side by side with the far right, he revealed himself to be a completely tasteless loser with absolutely absurd beliefs that doesn’t really care about anything real at all other than ruining peoples lives and power

I do wonder, if Trump literally just transferred money out of the Treasury into an account he controlled, just straight up stole money from taxpayers... How many Republicans would defend it? 60%, I'm guessing.
Oh, so he totally stole the money
November 11, 2025 at 8:32 PM
Hmm, what if they spend that money on things other than healthcare? Seems safer to just have the government pay the healthcare providers directly. You could have just a single payer, save a lot of paperwork.
Hey kids the Trump Healthcare
Plan just dropped!

Man becomes world's first trillion aire while food aid for the poorest people in a country is blocked by its president, is the kind of thing you read about in history books right before a bloody revolution.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

If I were a young person, the fact that the authorities were so upset about the Oct. 18 No Kings protest would make it sound exciting and cool.
Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
