everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

My favorite way to make myself depressed is Soviet time capsule messages

Soviet time capsules: messages from the past with lessons to teach us in 2017
"We're a little jealous of all you who are celebrating the centenary of our Soviet motherland"
Arkhangelsk
"You are talking with representatives of other galaxies about scientific and cultural collaborations"
Novosibirsk
"You have eliminated harmful bacteria and viruses, ageing and sickness"
Tiraspol
"We address you, those who don't know what war is"
Okulovka

The thing that gets me is that they had one sci-fi and two separate horror settings to play off of the big influx of Spider legendaries, but instead Spiders are now just a fad pet across the Magic Multiverse.

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

"This is the grain of sand at the center of the pearl of my ire, because "we are going to have to live here with each other" is the exact premise that Republicans do not agree with any of us about, and . . . Klein . . .

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time
I spent hours trying to convince someone in a Facebook group that they didn't play a fake N64 as a child 20 years ago?

AI Chat + Google led them to believe they played Speed Punks 64, a game that only exists on Wiki Fandom. The real game is PSX only.

The original Facebook post that says:
Hey guys I need some help I'm searching for this game I used to play as a kid it is a racing game similar tomorrow card you'd pick a character on the map there was a snow ice map one of the characters was a small girl with blonde I think ponytails you could shoot or leave protectiles please help

Hey it later response to the person's original post says"I figured it out guys it was speed punk's 64 but I can't find the game anywhere"

A Reddit post showing the box art for speed punk 64 with the artist replying to the image "I made that pic and put it on DeviantArt years ago and no there is no actual speed punk 64 game in real life I made it up"

I'll look at the wiki fandom page for speed punk 64 which makes it seem like it's a real game

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
