My feelings on piracy are very colored by my years working as an erotic writer for hire, because every pirate was all "I'm jerking off to your work without paying for it to punish you for choosing a dissolute profession! I have the moral high ground here!"

Since everyone asked, here’s the recipe:

- bone in raw ham
- preheat to 350
- pin pineapples and cherries with toothpicks all up and down it
- save the juice and add a little pineapple juice and a bag of brown sugar
- cook for 3 hours
- score it 1 hour in
- baste it every 30 min
- cut, soak, serve
Mmm made my dad’s cherry pineapple ham for the first time for an early thanksgiving dinner and it’s incredible.

It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.

I just think of all the great journalists who have been laid off. Rolling Stone did another round this week, and then we have these circus freaks.

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.

All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

I like how the X-Men and Starjammers all agree on "Sleazoid" being the correct slur for the Brood. Wolverine's a real trend-setter of slurs.

Something also very cruel about this argument, considering the number of people I see who do art for a living that are constantly struggling to make ends meet. The same people whose works get scraped/stolen by the people who make this argument in the first place.
“Poor people have a right to art!”

They sure do. So get to it.

Fully expect Dems to now fall over themselves to support putting more national guard in DC for dumb and unclear reasons, because that’s the kind of idiots they are.
November 26, 2025 at 10:05 PM
Oh it’s very clear.
Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.

It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.
