Next Saturday's anti-Trump 'No Kings' protest is expected to be the largest single demonstration in U.S. history.

As someone pointed out, then you're outsourcing your animal killing to other people that way. Plus, sustainable hunting feeds many people who struggle to buy supermarket food. I couldn't do it but I don't begrudge those who do.

Im seriously anti-gun generally but you realize most people who hunt actually eat what they kill right? Like humans always have?

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Dear MAGA: None of us want Qatari pilot’s carrying JDAMs over our soil. But this has to end with you.

YOU have to call your representatives and relentlessly tell them you’ll replace them if they don’t impeach Trump. He’s out of his mind. He’s grifting. YOU have to act!

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

He's not actually a priest, he's Presbyterian pastor. Which means he hasn't taken a vow of chastity. Jsyk. 😄

The whole point of fanart, fanfics, fanworks, is to make it yourself, as a fan, out of love, passion, spite, horniness—whatever drives and inspires you, as a human, to create. GenAI has no place in fandom, and it's gross and disingenuous to include the usage of it, especially without disclosure,

This is the funniest fucking thing I've ever heard of in my life, lol. Can you detect things in wastewater? Of course you can. Can you track that to an individual? No. Not unless you actually test the pipe coming out of their house, and they're the only person that lives there.

Wonder how this is going to track with the supreme court getting ready to rule that refusing to allow therapists to conduct conversion therapy is a violation of free speech?

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports.

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

This is why I get so uncomfortable with how much Middle East money is poured into formula 1 racing. They basically buy whatever they want, and paste over their human rights abuses with cash.
