Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

That was certainly "content".

Much funnier and less cringey when David Cross did it.

As an FYI, that original reddit post screenshotted was a "troll" in a conservative subreddit. A very convincing one, though!

I honestly wonder how his kids will take him dating again. Especially since he's with a celebrity. I'm sure they looked forward to being taken OUT of the spotlight, not pushed further in.

Also imagine going from Russel Brand to Justin Trudeau...

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

There's a word in Plautdietsch that I'm obsessed with. Läwensaut. I understand it can mean either "weary of life" or "sated with life".

Sorry, that's the party name.

The BILL name is much more catchy.

Our first and only order of business is to pass the Fair Utility Control & Kilowatt Equity - Electric Monopoly Expropriation and Reacquisition Act.

As that's a bit long to say each and every time, it will henceforth be abbreviated as "FUCK EMERA"

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

Stealing their look.

Black and white photo of Bob (Rick Moranis) and Doug (Dave Thomas) Mackenzie. Bob is wearing a toque and Doug is wearing a toque with earmuffs. Their hats are loosely reminiscent of the Mr Clean ads in the quoted skeet.
