This is it. That was it.
We're all fucked.
The consequences of that little spat will dictate our lives in myriad ways for decades

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

if the elite pedos are doing eyes wide shut parties I now believe it's because they saw the movie and thought that looked cool, rather than the reverse of the movie being inspired by them.

The USA, where the summary execution of an unarmed man can now be justified by the actual president, because on a separate occasion he kicked the tail light of a "very expensive government vehicle."

The very definition of judging people by your own standards
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Celibacy taught me I’m too clever to find love
Before my sex hiatus, I prioritised physical chemistry over emotional intellect. Now, it feels impossible to meet someone with both

Something enjoyable in the fact that Whitehall were prepared to consider regional devolution and only if it was preceded by nuclear holocaust.

Germany's paper of record (not exactly a paragon of progressiveness) comes out in favor of boycotting the World Cup.

Die Fußballwelt als Staffage: An Donald Trumps Politik wird auch die Weltmeisterschaft nichts ändern. Die Positionierung des DFB scheint klar.

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.
The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Classic surgeon behaviour
I am a successful surgeon in my mid 40s. I almost exclusively eat my dinners with a spoon. It doesn't matter what it is, it's the best way to eat. I know it also marks me out as a maniac.

Under "or something" I'm watching that Alex Hannold guy climb the Taipei 101 skyscraper with no ropes.
Some of you really need to step away from the news and go out and get some fresh air or something. It's not healthy to be constantly immersed in and drowning in horrors. Go and fuss a cat or pet a dog, for the sake of your sanity.
