The main side effect vaccines have on children is that they live to be adults.
Mr. Universe has thoughts on people’s physiques.
Trump on Pritzker: “I would never want to talk about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob. I don't mention it.”

i have agreed with stancil and i have disagreed with stancil. he has sharp elbows. but the accusation that he is a raging transphobe is not connected to reality. and the weaponization of "i'm listening to trans people" to smear someone because you disagree about fucking econ polling is disgusting
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
Listen dude, you can try and ride for this guy all you want, but the trans userbase of this platform fucking hates him because he picks on them. I'm going to listen to the trans people I know who are telling me he's bad. Plus I've been in these threads and seen it

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Blowing up a boat because you think the people on board might have drugs crosses me as pretty fucking illegal.
For anyone to even suggest that our president WOULDN’T issue illegal orders. That lacks credibility based on actual events.

The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

OK, biography time. She looks very young. When I was that age, I slept on a futon for years. It was no less stupid. I got a bed because ... wait for it ... my girlfriend insisted. I still sleep on the floor about half the time (on a pad, with a blanket) when I'm in my own house.

Trump wasn’t involved, couldn’t have known, isn’t at fault for the awful Ukraine plan negotiated by his envoy, VP, and son in law?
He’s the president! And the plan fits his longrunning Putin-sympathetic stance!
I second @phillipspobrien.bsky.social. Making excuses for Trump is insane and harmful.

Just sent out this free piece. When the stories of the 28-point plan were first written, too many people went into overdrive to try and make excuses for Trump (He was not informed! He was not involved!). open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Ladies, if a guy doesn't respect you enough to dress decently -- not even formally, just decently -- for a date, find a new guy.
I've noticed this in restaurants, too. The woman is dressed nicely, and the guy looks like he just came in from softball practice. It's like watching a classy girl take her broke, dim-bulb brother to dinner, except it's people on a date.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

I be wrong by the time I finish this sentence, but I still have my doubts we'll actually go to war. Trump likes to rattle the saber and bomb random countries but this would be a step beyond his usual Foghorn Leghorn approach to foreign policy.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No allies or international support

The other week in London an American couple sat behind me. The woman was dressed normally. The man was wearing… a baseball shirt. I thought wt actual fk. And then he didn’t know how to behave, obv.

There's an effort in our city to get people to let leaves lie but I can't talk the wife into it. But in order of not bad to worst it goes:
letting leaves lie >> raking them >> electric blowers >> gas blowers >> I dunno, nuclear weapons?
letting leaves lie >> raking them >> electric blowers >> gas blowers >> I dunno, nuclear weapons?
A reminder that gas-powered leafblowers are nightmare devices that are bad for you, bad for your lawn, and very bad for the environment. They fume and scream and kill the world all so you can messily and ineffectively move leaves around, leaves which are generally supposed to stay where they fell.

I would love to see some some Republicans do this. Oddly enough, I think the person most likely to would be MTG, who is currently in the "who wants to live forever?!" phase of her political career and has been oddly uninsane lately. For brief periods.
Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.
I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.
