Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Good time to remind everyone that "no fap" and similar anti masturbation pushes are — and this is not hyperbole — literal Third Reich Nazi propaganda that was digested through the bowels of 4chan and shat out in its current form.
Alexander Rhodes, founder of NoFap, the much-maligned anti-masturbation group, has filed suit against researchers he claims are part of a vast conspiracy to defame him, along with Aylo, owner of Pornhub, and 150-year-old peer-reviewed scientific journal Taylor & Francis.

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.
Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.
