The Work. Never. Ends. Humanity is (hopefully!!) stuck here forever, and while we're here we have to help each other. And that means fixing broken systems, then our kids fix it again, then their kids fix it again. Looked at cynically, we're all Sisyphus.
But one must imagine Sisyphus happy.

What the fuck is a chopped cheese? I guess I'm picking that because I never heard of it until just now. Looks like someone tried to turn a cheeseburger into a menu item at Subway? Bizarre.

Twizzlers, my logic being that it's the only one of the 4 that has a perfectly suitable replacement ready to go (Red Vines). The others aren't as easily substituted.

The first one, simply because the other 3 options here have near infinite levels of versatility when it comes to making them, whereas there's a very, very short list of things you can do with a chicken wing.

I think people should realize here that Mark Kelly is a very savvy politician who doesn't really move from where his constituents are and is notoriously careful because he's a democrat from Arizona.
The fact that he's doing this isn't just presidential ambition, it means his voters want it.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

On my hands and knees begging them to try this. Go ahead and do it, drag a decorated veteran astronaut United States Senator in for a literal court martial on charges that he said it's good to disobey illegal orders. Let's fucking go.

Kash Patel getting ready (by which I mean booking an even longer stay at Caesar's Palace) to become the nation's first FBI Director Attorney General.
Also there's burblings that Bondi may be in trouble in DOJ, but I don't know if they're credible enough to really highlight. But its certainly percolating in the RW ether right now.

This post is the best kind of block harvester because of how true it is.
I think anyone who ranks either "Force Awakens" or "Rise of Skywalker" above any of the prequel films is fundamentally unserious, and perhaps dangerous.

Archetypal example is “capitalism ground me down so I quit my job and set up a small business so that I’m my own boss”. You didn’t dislike capitalism! You disliked authority!

It’s actually extremely important that the regime’s efforts to intimidate and prosecute their enemies keep collapsing in comical ways which expose their incompetence
