I think anyone who declares that it is categorically unacceptable to "celebrate the death of another human being" should be required to produce any comments they made about the Bin Laden raid.

I recently replaced my aging iPad with a Samsung Galaxy Tab--they've gotten a lot more competitive in the drawing department, and I actually like the s-pen more than the Apple Pencil (also the pen is included with the tablet). I also migrated to Clip Studio, but android does have procreate clones.

It would be very funny if some marketer slapped this on an edition of DRACULA.

You know, I think it would have been nice, and perhaps smart, if, at any point between 9/11 and now, Dems had taken even a little bit of a stand against the GOP calling basically their entire base terrorists.

But what to I know, I'm just a terrorist.

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

This is correct, in the sense that it is the thing that I, also, do.

Perry says the order will say defendants are "temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

Perry: "I'm going to issue an oral ruling."

Is that a squid with a siphonophore for a butt, or a siphonophore squid mimic (?), like some crazy parasitism?

Yeah I watched the shit out of it from like ages 17-23--Combs, Fox, but also John Austin, who has always had a special place in my heart even if his role is pretty limited. Plus it's basically a WRAITH: THE OBLIVION movie.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

I was going to guess "Slathit" (first syllable like "slather"). Kind of surprised I came as close as I did.

I don't know, all this stuff seems like reheated nonsense from the past five years, he could just be watching Fox News retrospectives. Or hell, just just Truth Social posts from people resurfacing old misinfo clips to try and start shit.

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out!

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
