Not only voted for it, but encouraged others to do it.

Mel Stride looks like someone stuffed Piers Morgan inside Piers Morgan

Tory politician Mel Stride, standing behind a podium, ham hands outstretched and gamy gullet belching forth some kind of barely-concealed racism, I have no doubt, looking like he's passing a kidney stone the size and shape of Margaret Thatcher and having the time of his life.

tbh I just found it obnoxious because Trek is a lot funnier when it's not Doing A Comedy Episode. I can't imagine having 10 episodes a year and deciding to waste one of them on that.

"But he's rich and white and a guy! Why doesn't he agree with us that fascism is awesome?!"

Yeah, and who wants cheaper electricity anyway?

I doubt these guys tell their families what they do for a living. They probably tell them they sell drugs at elementary schools or something, just to explain where the money's coming from.

The White House Twitter account has already shared it 482 times with the hashtags #hubbahubba and #MakeAmericaBoobsAgain

This is what qualified immunity does. Even if this isn't legal, the men who do it feel emboldened, believing (probably rightly) that they will face no consequences for doing it.

We must imagine Sisyphus.

That's it.

An edited screenshot of a real Fox News item in which Jesse Watters claims to be talking to an "Ex-Antifa". The "Ex-Antifa" man is wearing a lime-green baseball cap and a black rag over his face and looks exactly like if someone asked a retired cop to pretend to be an Antifa.

I have added the chyron headline "Oli London Reveals Shocking New Self-Identity". Oli London is a person who turns up on Fox News a lot to play the part of a detransitioner, despite never having transitioned and also claiming to be "trans-racial".

"And what we see in California is an attorney general of the state has estimated that for every dollar they spent on lawsuits against the federal government’s threats to withhold funding, they won more than $30,000 in what would otherwise have been lost.”

Now *that's* efficiency!

I've seen a lot of claims that this is the Dems' fault because the GOP needed Democrat votes... and to that I say, why do the GOP constantly accuse the Democrats of being radical lunatics and traitors non-stop 364 days a year if they know they're going to need a favour from them on the 365th?

If your audience look like this, you're not doing as well as you think you are.

Oh, I know. I just meant generally. Nothing but respect for anyone who can maintain a schedule without it being imposed them too.

And yet I guarantee he won't sue.

Would always rather have stuff you enjoyed making later than stuff you didn't sooner.

I kinda hate how YouTube ended up pushing people into schedules and timetables, when such a big part of its initial appeal was that it *didn't* have that.

"What did opponents of fascism mean by this?"

Every time I get something stuck in my teeth, I'm reminded of her =(

Verdict on Silent Hill f - pretty rad so far (I'm only just past the Shrine puzzle).

I don't love that weapon degradation is back but combat does at least seem to be avoidable most of the time. We'll see how long that lasts.

Honestly wondering how they're going to maintain the pretence that Trump's in perfect health while also claiming that an escalator stopping suddenly could fucking end him.

The bar is literally underground.

In some ways, the bad slogan kinda helps, because even people who never like the slogan will talk openly about how they support the ideas behind it *because* they don't like the slogan.
