-Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.
When you back that azz up
don't call me big daddy i am working on my weight as best i am able to do so but last week carol brought in those pastries to work and your dinners are so delicious i overeat baby so just call me by my first name when you back that azz up
you a pretty fine woman better make sure you drink enough water, get enough sleep and remember to stretch for longer periods than you used to before engaging in vigorous backing that azz up

it's a relatively straightforward answer, imo.

They equate "strength" with "being a bully" with no conception that there could be a different definition.
What makes a man strong. Spoiler alert: Trump doesn't have the qualities

Its wild to say this sort of shit about Democrats when the current Republican/MAGA political project is built around cultural supremacist crusade that centers openly trying to destroy the lives of anyone who doesnt sufficiently conform to it
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

I refuse to hand it to Cuellar but this is hysterical

Has anyone tried asking any of the chatbots to write a War Thunder forum post arguing about inaccuracies in portrayal of any modern equipment to see if the training corpus captured anything in all the crawling that it wasn’t supposed to?🤔

Or put another way: can ChatGPT get banned from War Thunder?

This continues to be why I will never give full legitimacy to the "gerontocracy" arguments. The way that Trump is currently being treated by news media makes it exceptionally clear that their main beef with Biden was him being Biden—not his age, physical/mental health, or fitness for the job.
It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

This summer I took a vacation across five eastern/central European countries that all have significantly smaller citizenries now than they did 35 years ago and let me tell you, Americans simply have no conception of how bleak it is to live in a shrinking country.
I cannot imagine the brain that believes their own citizenship is cheapened by the growth of the American citizenry.

That’s a goddamn triumph. That’s us winning.

I don't understand why so many members of Congress think their job is to wait around for the party leader to come up with a brilliant plan and tell them when the vote is
The GOP is breaking apart from its inner contradictions. It hates the health care crisis but won't remedy it.

House Republicans are privately fuming at Speaker Mike Johnson over his failure to lead on issues such as the cost-of-living crisis and skyrocketing healthcare premiums, according to CNN.

"The estimated number of people residing in El-Fasher before the conflict was 250,000, not including those taking refuge there. With only 100,000 people having been reported to have escaped, this leaves over half the population of El-Fasher unaccounted for."

i feel as though it is fully reasonable at this point of accusing the author of completely making up the Amazon connection. it is absolutely wild that they don't even mention that the recall petition specifically blames the county commissioner who is the central source for the nitrate contamination!

what I find deeply idiotic is the idea that a state has a meaningful interest in the integrity of its congressional districts. I don't fucking care what the legislature wanted. the STATE OF TEXAS wouldn't suffer "irreparable harm" if its gerrymander wasn't used. what the fuck are you talking about.

Lot of replies arguing that the erasure of shared truths is self-correcting problem.

Maybe it is in day-to-day life where the realities of your pocketbook are a material concern, but the same isn't true of historical fact. These numbers are enormous.

I saw that some dipshit with a Frederick Douglass avatar was yelling stupid stuff about the Fourteenth Amendment so I'm resurfacing this take
Congress debated this already; nativists were/are wrong

"I voted for the proposition to declare that the children of all parentage whatever, bom in California, should be regarded and treated as citizens of the United States, entitled to equal civil rights with other citizens of the United States."

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”

They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.
