Between the debate last night and today's SCOTUS fuckery, I'm drained. I have no fight left in me. I'm ignoring politics social media until next week. Tell me your TV recs and/or cat photos. Anything inside the Overton Window will be met with apathy.

They do though. They _all_ know how to barricade themselves because school shooter drills were what the cops recommended instead of literally any kind of law enforcement that might prevent school shootings.

Well, this is disgusting. But one of the scant few upsides to never being able to afford home ownership is that many of us will simply be too poor to lose in court. Fuckin' checkmate, end-stage capitalism. I guess.

Justice Alito does know that people know he used the obviously biased opinions of a 17th Century serial killer of women to justify his own Misogynistic Nonsense For Jesus in overturning Roe Vs Wade on behalf of misogynistic Christian Dominionists, right?

@jamielynnc.bsky.social Your favorite Supreme Court Justice is having another moment today.

Justice Alito takes aim at marriage equality again, warning that Obergefell means "Americans who do not hide their adherence to traditional religious beliefs about homosexual conduct" are being "labeled as bigots and treated as such" by the state and "society." www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Could someone explain to me, like I'm five, why Fani Willis is trouble? I understand she may have hired a former boyfriend who doesn't have the right qualifications. But, how does that intersect with Trump's RICO trial?

Hot Take: This bullshit Special Counsel report actually paints Trump into a corner! The RNC already put the kibosh on Trump debating Biden in 2022. I bet Biden goes on the offense and says, "Bring it." That puts the GOP on their heels and they risk getting thumped on TV. www.npr.org/2022/04/14/1...

Yes. Yes. Yes. I love all of this.

The latest conspiracy theory in GOP circles is that the RNC members who are not 100% MAGA are likely foreign agents, possibly Communists, who are working with the Deep State to take down Trump and destroy America. These are lifelong GOP activists and donor they’re talking about.

Everyone involved in this conversation is my people. We are imperfect. We are messy. But you are doing ok, almost fine. The trail to the top of Mt. Everest is littered with the bodies of once highly motivated people. We need to cut ourselves some slack and just breathe.

adulthood is just an endless loop of waking up and vowing to be productive, getting distracted by global collapse and pornography for 12 hours, berating yourself for being unproductive, doing a single load of laundry but forgetting to put it in the dryer, then eating dinner standing over the sink.

IDK why, but watching MKE conservatives bitch and moan about pay raises for the Mayor, Common Council and other professional positions has me furious. These are the same dicks who say "government should be run like a business." You need to fuckin pay people, you assholes. How is this hard?

God damn, did I need this smile today. Thank you, Karma, you random, spiteful, petty, magnificent bitch.

So I just found out that when Andrew Tate heard “Greta” was after him, he thought that it was an 18-year-old environmentalist on the spectrum and not the Human Trafficking police, because he’s a fucking idiot. This led to him lashing out at Greta Thunberg, and all the stuff leading to his arrest.

Obviously, this is rad AF. But, the petty part of me is just rolling in schadenfreude over how Robin Vos knew this was coming and was ultimately impotent in his efforts to stop it. Get wrecked, Robin, you small coward. Fuck off back to the hole you crawled out of.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the state’s legislative maps, heavily gerrymandered in favor of Republicans, were unconstitutional. It ordered new maps before the 2024 election, which could cause a seismic political shift in a crucial swing state.

Justices in Wisconsin Order New Legislative Mapswww.nytimes.com The ruling, coming just months after liberals gained a 4-to-3 majority on the State Supreme Court, could undo gerrymanders that have given Republicans lopsided control of the State Legislature.

This is the first thing Trump has said as a former president that I firmly believe. The problem isn't that he does or doesn't read the gold standard of Nazi literature. The problem is that every one of his top unfuckable, incel, racist goons have read all of it.

The phrase 'mate more' is wildly off-putting.

A growing body of research in psychology and related fields suggests that winter brings some profound changes in how people think, feel and behave. People tend to eat more, move less and mate more in cold weather, research suggests.

Stolen gold bars? Boring. George Santos set the bar pretty high in terms of crazy. Menendez doesn't even have an unexplained baby.
