This is fine.

Many parents are now
choosing to take their kids
out of public school and
instead educate them
exclusively through
TikTok videos.

Every voter should be a taxpayer who can pass an 8th grade civics exam.

I'd settle for every president being a taxpayer who can pass an 8th grade civics exam.

Just got my CAVA bag stuffed with cash from George Soros to attend the #NoKings rally on October 18th. Still waiting to hear from Antifa headquarters if one of their corporate jets is available. Otherwise, I'll use my Delta "American Terrorists As Bad As Isis Fly Free" coupon. Glory!

In the late 1800s, an English land agent was sent to a town to foreclose on farmers. The locals refused to serve him, to deliver his mail, to sell to him in shops, to have anything at all to do with him.

His name was Charles Boycott.

Feels kinda like high school again but all the appearance-obsessed jocks and cheerleaders who usually would amount to nothing after graduation somehow ended up running the US government.

Might be time to declare the US government a terrorist group.

And yet, he's still the elected dictator, doing as he pleases. Apparently, nobody has the power to gag or arrest a senile idiot.

And I cancelled my subsciption after they capitulated to their demands. The programming became notably more misogynistic.

I have a friend who is able to hear and read scientific facts, but when they come out of her mouth at a dinner party, they've morphed into this kind of nonesense.

I think the answer to that question is, a nation that stands by with cameras as its citizens are hunted down by a Fascist dictator.

I have a new favourite insult, "right-adjacent bluechecks".

I wonder how much of the Framework nonsense is literally just because the CEO still hangs out on Twitter. I check in on my old account there every once in a while and my entire feed is just full of DHH stuff getting retweeted by various right-adjacent bluechecks.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

In Australia, we've simply made studying the humanities prohibitively expensive. We really don't want anyone reflecting on society or culture.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
