Y'all bourbon snobs can tell me that Buffalo Trace is overrated, but honestly for the price it's a sweet little bourbon that I'm overjoyed to find on the Ohio shelves when I can, which is about once every two years

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.
May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.
This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.
Vaccinate your pets please.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Chuckling at the people in the U.S. who consistently shit on people who live in "red" states... Well according to others in the world, the entire US is now a "red" state. Not so easy to overthrow authoritarians, is it?

If so, the question becomes whether NATO gives him a medal that says "Keeping U.S. bases in Greenland means you 'won' Greenland - really!" and roll their eyes until next episode OR are they finally "done" and ready to roll the dice on "Tank the dollar and see if he implodes" 🤷♂️

Tend to think this is just the Trumpism asserting itself. He can't back off because he's Trump, he won't ever rule anything out because it sounds like weakness, so he just says shit like this.

Buddy, doesn't matter who voted for Putin, we still have to treat Russia as a whole like an enemy until he's gone.
And unfortunately, America's now a big ol' threat.

I'm a red-blooded American MAN! I like my beer COLD, my wings HOT, and my Broadway musical which reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as a modern girl group CAST BY CISGENDER WOMEN ONLY!
So apparently Dylan Mulvaney got cast in a Broadway musical... which resulted in transphobes losing their minds and threatening to "Bud Light" the show... and now the show's Twitter page is locked down. Cool cool.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

probably my single least favorite thing about posting here; you can say, explicitly, “I am not endorsing this, I think it’s bad, I’m just explaining how it works” and you will get attacked for endorsing it anyway
this site seems to genuinely have an issue with viewing explanation as a form of endorsement
Me outlining the conclusions the tribunal reached is not me endorsing them. Especially when I emphasised repeatedly that this is a first instance decision and non-binding. I'm really not sure what more I can do to make my position on this clear - it has quite literally been my entire life since FWS.

Hey conservatives,
If you're upset that Star Trek is progressive and always has been ... just pay some conservative asshole to make your own super regressive sci fi series. It's easy, right? I'm sure people will love it.

You might think you don't care about Westerns. But this story is magnificent - a disgraced silent movie star grabs ahold of one heroic role and:
a) Reinvents all of Hollywood and television with it, and
b) Becomes the role.
It's a great deep-dive. Do recommend.

There are definitely things to be called out for, but man, I've seen too many people driven away with pitchforks over the slightest thing. Like figure out what battles need to be fought, man.
At a certain point, social media became such that content creators, performers, and artists all found themselves held hostage by a herd mentality that will happily boost their work one day and then rip them to shreds the next over something so trivial or immaterial.
It's been difficult to watch.
