That one’s fun cause it’s actually closer to the way Miami was pronounced when it was the tribe’s name

Haha that’s in my hometown and yeah it is absolutely worth the price of entry, just a wild tour

It’s not just “more tax base”, it’s that there’s literally only one solution to the problem of demographic collapse where you needed to be having more kids 25 years ago, and that’s letting a bunch of 25 year olds into the country instead.

Uh this also ignores the possibility that parts of the earth basically become near-uninhabitable due to climate change and immigration gets driven by that instead

I’m pretty comfortable saying that a grown ass 50 something man saying “you boys would be my sex slaves” isn’t worth splitting hairs over whether that’s pedophilia just because they’re *technically* 18. Especially becuase he prefaces it with “you aren’t adults, you’re children, and I will rape you”

I got my mom this needlepoint awhile ago and she loves it very much

A photo of a framed needlepoint hanging on the wall. It says “it’s decorative gourd season, motherfuckers”, with several decorative gourds pictured below

i will say it takes a certain amount of balls to go to the website with all the people who couldnt stomach mastodon and tell them Our Ideal Version Of This Place Is Mastodon

bluesky is not the product, bluesky users are not the product, it’s the code that is the product. the ability to set up your own independent bluesky. which does not exist. so there is no product

Remember Wikileaks? That website that was very much earnestly concerned about government overreach and abuse and not just an op?

“Half a million cars per year”

Let's review the timeline.

(1) Goodstein ruled against Trump's illegal demand for voter info.

(2) Harmeet Dhillon at DoJ said "nothing will stop us" about the case.

(3) Stephen Miller called judges insurrectionists.

(4) A day later, Goodstein's house gets bombed.

This is stochastic terrorism.

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Wait the ADL? The ADL that basically bent over backwards to kiss republican ass over Israel? The ADL that leapt full on into bed with antisemites during the pro-Palestine protests?

The Heritage Foundation’s right-wing publication is reporting that the Kash Patel FBI has terminated its longstanding relationship with the Southern Poverty Law Center, one day after severing its relationship with the ADL. www.dailysignal.com/2025/10/03/b...

Also, and this is really a minor quibble in the whole thing, but my god the part that makes me angriest is that they can’t even sync up the fucking animation of him hitting the cowbell with the noise
