They keep saying it must’ve been vandalism or disgruntled cleaning staff but how the fuck do you not notice a swastika at your desk - ESPECIALLY one right next to your face during a Zoom call? I get annoyed when I notice I left a sweatshirt on a chair, but you didn’t catch THAT?

EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police are investigating a swastika found in GOP Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

“The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms," Taylor said in a statement.

Wow, and the family credits him for saving her life! I gotta hand it to Ron Paul!

In 1971, Ron Paul, who was then a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist in Texas, delivered Selena Quintanilla at Freeport Community Hospital. Her father, Abraham Quintanilla, revealed this fact in a 2022 interview and credited Paul with saving Selena's life.
Details of the event:
• Medical Misdiagnosis: Abraham Quintanilla stated that before Selena's birth, another doctor had misdiagnosed his wife, Marcella, with a tumor and recommended surgery.
• Second Opinion: The family sought a second opinion from Dr. Ron Paul, who told them, "That tumor that the other doctor wanted to remove has two arms and two legs. She's pregnant"

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

I’m not mad about it but I’m deeply confused that we’re getting a Twitter exodus today of all days

thought we’d basically reached the point that there was no line that place could cross that would chase anyone off of it at this point

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

Please be the fun kind of discourse like “Would Homer and Hank get along” and not the unfun discourse like “the wrong ship is happening on this cartoon show because the storyboard artists got in a fight with me on discord in 2018 🧵.”

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

why is it always this same pitch. it's either "you will soon be able to see [thing that already exists] but with [different actor]" i've seen this same pitch made over and over and over. the actors in the stuff i like are already fine. if they were bad at acting the part i wouldn't already like it!
