Facebook post from Charles Amos, August 8: In Weatherspoon's in Oxford tonight a man shouted out to me "Nonce, pervert!" Is that worse that being called a "c*nt" there? Anyways - good to know I'm spreading the libertarian message.

“Sure the birth defects are bad relative to not having them but it’s better to have those birth defects and exist than to not exist at all." This is a thing he said. ON TV.

Huh. Why is Death Proof, for you, his best? It's possibly my least favorite of his but I'm interested in differing takes.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Looks like there's a mid-Rapture traffic jam. Stuck here stark naked, floating about 15 feet up. Praying my coworkers don't look up.

When I see people online, even in jest, suggest that people living in Republican-controlled states should be abandoned because of their politicians, I feel a deep heartache. New York CREATED Donald Trump and none of y’all are ever talk about it the way you disparage Alabama or Mississippi.

"Efficient" at what? Groceries are a need, and private capital isn't meeting that need in those few specific areas. Government stores would be more efficient at making food available than what they have now, which is nothing.
