He fights for FREEDOM"

It is also, needless to say, very funny.

Oatmeal cartoon saying "In my experience, the people who are excited about AI art also happen too be some of the most talentless fucking people I've ever met."

Oatmeal cartoon saying: "Virginia Woolf was a storyteller. Shel Silverstein was a storyteller. You work in tech, shitbird."

Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

I hear she has supported school bands as well: www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/10/d...

Dolly Parton quietly funded Black school bands: 'The woman is a national treasure'

Dolly Parton paid for band uniforms and instruments for kids at majority Black high schools with zero publicity, a writer has revealed.

...and I'd sell them for CHEAP. Homemade nachos aren't that difficult to make, and it takes a lot less toppings when it's all in a funnel like this - it really condenses aromatics and flavor .

Satisfying little cups.

H'm.

I'm going to open a joint that specializes in cups of nachos just like this. Small walkin' around or side orders with combinations of toppings and heated for wee melty goodness.

I think I'll call them " 'chos ", and will tempt customers with a "hot cuppa 'chos"...or a challenge to "eat at 'chos".

You cannot buy this kind of publicity, the ruling party thinks your upcoming televised mini concert is sexually demonic liberalism and keeps telling the media about why

I am so tired of our media letting weaselly little shits like Mike Johnson slide on these evasions.

Why *aren’t* you aware of blatant violations of the Constitution, Mike?! What makes you at all capable of holding this job?? Why should anyone believe a word coming out of your shitty little mouth??

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

I didn't think "Scorched Earth Jimmy Kimmel" was in the realm of possibility.

Yet here we are. I'm now a fan of someone I thought about less than once a year about two months ago.

The LEAST Noem could have done was to toss a couple bucks down to the troupe. They're putting in a lot of hard work - even now - for everyone's entertainment.
