The disappointment of getting a Transformers or Masters Of The Universe figure before the character had appeared on the cartoon and then seeing them onscreen and finding out they’re really annoying.

Greta Thunberg donned a keffiyeh with an
"AUTISM" T-shirt that included an image of a skeleton dual wielding automatic rifles before she left on her flotilla.
What do you think she was trying to convey with this t-shirt?

Every political argument breaks down when you step back far enough to realise we’re just monkeys fuckassing around and everything we call society is made up.

Venezuela is ~1500 miles from the US. These boats have a range of 20-40% that distance.

Call this what it is: wanton killing, unsupported by law and unjustified by any principles of just war.

Facebook Memories has reminded me of that painting of a large Nicolas Cage trying to breastfeed a small Nicolas Cage. Morning all

A Madonna and child painting, apparently an 11th century fresco. Deeply fucked up, whatever it is. They both look like Nicolas Cage

ICE brutally detains U.S. citizen just for filming—knocking her unconscious.

"Agents took her to a side alley, beat her up, then called an ambulance," witness said.

"Then they kidnapped her from the hospital—without a formal discharge—and took her to Downtown LA Detention Center."

What the USA government has done to itself is the equivalent of shitting your pants so nobody sits next to you on the bus. Sure you’ll get the seat to yourself but you have to ignore your own shit dripping down your legs to have it.

not true

Kyle Kulinski on Twitter posts an illustrated image, where Laura Loomer tells Hasan Piker "WE'RE DEPORTING YOU BACK TO TURKEY." In the drawing, Hasan Piker replies: "I was born in New Jersey."

Laura Loomer replies to Kyle: "The left has no sense of humor."

On September 6, 2024, Laura Loomer posts a video, where she eats dog food. She writes on Twitter: "I just ate dog food. It's human grade. Which means you and your dog can share a taste, nutrient dense treat together. Order yours today at [link]"

I post a screenshot of this tweet and write: "i setup a fake dog food company last month, bought purina at the pet store, and paid laura loomer $100 for this post."

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos.

It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich."

A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."
