For a guy who says he's against the Nazis, Mike Johnson sure does have to spend a lot of time calling news conferences to beg people to believe that he and his crew are not a bunch of Nazis.

...which would be a lot easier if the GOP didn't do so much Nazi stuff and display swastikas, etc.

Johnson: That is not the principles of the Republican Party. You want me to articulate them? We fought the Nazis, we defended that evil ideology.

I would be more shocked that the online therapy company my insurance wants me to use is unable to set up an appointment if I hadn't spotted the link button at the bottom of their page leading to their Google+ account.

Sending poorly trained racist imbeciles in masks into the streets of an increasingly armed U.S. to attack and kidnap women and children will definitely lead to bloodshed.

Throw a little finely diced onion in there, maybe a couple sprinkles of cilantro, too.

Ah, hell, now I want bean burritos for breakfast.

I don't think enough people are talking about bean burritos.

Seems pretty "breaking the law" to me, but I'm not a newspaper most people subscribe to for Wordle, so what do I know?

"I know you guys would tell me..."

Yeah. I'm sure they're all lining up to tell King Dotard the Petty that he's already a little dumber than he used to be...which was a lot.

New Tron stuff also has to contend with anime having deeeeeeeply plumbed the depths of the "stuck in a video game" genre with actual bangers like "Overlord," "My Next Life as a Villainess," "Sword Art Online," "Log Horizon," "I'm Standing on a Million Lives," and, like, almost every other series.

You think it's also the guy who ate a bunch of miniature chocolate bars and broke into my daughter's room and hid them behind the bed?

I Ate Oklahoma @iateoklahoma.bsky.social · 1d

Right? The visuals in the first movie were interesting (as was the idea, then somewhat novel, of being trapped in a video game), but a sequel, much less a franchise, never made any sense.

You know how people are always, uh, BREAKING INTO GOVERNMENT OFFICES to plant NAZI PARAPHERNALIA in young Republicans' cubicles, on the off-chance one of them will do a video chat and be seen.

"The flag was found inside Taylor’s office in the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C., Tuesday afternoon, according to an office spokesperson. Taylor believes it is the result of 'foul play or vandalism,' the spokesperson said."

Yeah. Uh-huh. "Foul play."

There is no elegant way to eat a tostada and that is even more reason to eat tostadas.
