2024 gonna be crazy
Favorite new Twitter feed. This is what Twitter should be used for.
animals going goblin mode [https://twitter.com/mischiefanimals]
Band: The Wedding Present
Album: George Best (1987)
Song: Everyone Think He Looks Daft
Real great break-up album (meaning here “mean songs about exes”) from an unjustly forgotten band. They got riffs for days.
Oh why do you catch my eye, then turn away?
I thought we said all the things we had to say
Shaun said he saw you holding hands with your new friend
How does it feel to know you’ve just won again?
Don’t give me that
Because you were seen
Everyone thinks he looks daft but you can have your dream
Can I keep that book of yours and maybe this one too?
Oh sure, I’ll bring them round tomorrow if that will do
Was it really full? They must have queued there since half past three
Oh I didn’t go, was it a good film? Well that’s just me
Don’t give me that
Because you were seen
Everyone thinks he looks daft but you can have your dream
Oh you can have a dream
Guess who I saw by your old house just the other day
That kid we used to think was mad, but now he looks okay
I think someone’s here, look out the window, I can’t make out who
Oh I’d love to stay but I’ve really got so many things to do
Don’t give me that
Because you were seen
Everyone thinks he looks daft but you can have your dream
Have mercy, did Musk have something happen that redpilled him or has he always been undercover redpilled? I certainly don’t agree with him on everything but he does have the right enemies.
He had several something’s that happened to him, but he’s obviously not they politically informed. However recent things have caused him to suddenly care more.
Government being a hassle, plus the far left going rather insane lately, seem to be what has done it for him.
It all starts from questioning claims that the left makes that sound extremely suspicious. That’s how it happened for me.
He’s the guy in the middle of the cartoon he tweeted.
The “LOL” really sells it.
I’m not sure if this is really true, but it seemed to me like the turning point was when Twitter suspended the Bee.
It’d been noticed in the past that he was a fan, so maybe that was a “last-straw” kinda thing.
He did a big interview with them and it seems he likes them.
Good call. that really did seem to piss him off.
Although to be fair, they did not really ban the Bee. They banned the transgender joke the Bee made and the Bee refused to post there until it was restored.
But I agree with them that calling that joke “hate speech” was ridiculous and illiberal.
IIRC, the Bee is actually soft banned, in that they cannot post any more until they delete their offending tweet, which they refused to do.
^This.
I hope that restoring them will be one of the first things he does.
Ah. I get it. My bad.
Their account was locked until they removed the offending post, which they refused to do.
What a weird system… They want you to COMPLY.
Yup. CEO Dillon said they will not “bend the knee” and remove it.
Actually..
They aren’t banned they just need to remove the offending tweet
DeSantis has brushed off questions about 2024, but in nearly every early 2024 straw poll has either finished first or second when competing only with former President Donald Trump, as the rest of the potential 2024 GOP field trails by wide margins. DeSantis has also been raising huge sums of campaign cash and has a growing base of support among conservative coast-to-coast.
I think the tell for whether or not DeSantis will run (I think he will) will be in August, when he selects his running mate for November’s election. The trend the last few elections in Florida is to run some non-entity from south Florida in an attempt to pick up some Lanteeeeeeeenx votes. If DeSantis picks a heavy hitter like Adam Putnam or (Florida Atty General) Ashley Moody, then he’s prepared to leave the state in good hands when he goes to DC in January ’25.
Yeah, that’s a good question, so if the governor resigns the lt. Governor picks up the reins? Is there a way for the legislature to put someone in, or a special election?
Yes, Lt. Govs automatically succeed Govs when they die, resign, etc. I believe the legislature appoints a new Lt. Gov, but my brief research did not yield a definitive answer on this.
That’s exactly how it works. Only happened twice since the office was created by revising the Florida Constitution in 1968.
Bob Graham resigned as governor to assume his duties as a U.S. senator in 1987, so Wayne Mixon was governor for three days, until Bob Martinez was sworn in.
Likewise, when “Walkin'” Lawton Chiles died about four weeks before his term expired, Buddy McKay stepped in as governor until JEB! took over in January 1999.
Any Lt. Governor who ascended to the governorship would get to appoint his/her own successor, subject to confirmation by the legislature.
Chiles was the only modern Democrat Party member I respected. He was a wonderful man. I worked catering at his 1995 inauguration party and watched him celebrate by firing his very own hair-spray powered potato cannon from the capitol rooftop. We’ll not see a man like him in politics again.
whaddup doh’
We got a long road to get there.
At least some of them are bringing a sense of humor.
I like the optimism that there will be a 2024 election.
There will be ‘Elections’.
Whether or not they’ll bother to look at the voters’ votes before declaring a winner is up for debate.
We should take up a donation to have a master plumber look over all the Fulton County polling places / counting sites to make sure there’s no chance of leaks this time.
They’ll collect the ballots at food processing plants. ??
Ha! I just got your joke.
Thank you! I’m glad SOMEONE got it & appreciated it (and in less than 3 1/2 hours! ?) ::hugs db::
Oh.. the FIRES… sorry. I grew up in North Georgia (among others) and the chicken plants were where all the illegal immigrants had jobs. I thought you were making a reference to cultivating the Hispanic vote, not a joke. Sorry, GT.
As if the fires weren’t bad enough, they hit a grocery distribution center near us with a tornado last week!
Those darn weather control machines!
Elon Musk is set to field questions directly from Twitter employees later this week for the first time since he agreed to buy the social media company.
Musk will take pre-submitted employee questions at a virtual all-hands meeting on Thursday, a Twitter (TWTR) spokesperson confirmed to CNN Business. News of the meeting was first reported by Insider.
Oh boy.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict a flood of “WHY ARE SO RACIST AND FASCIST??!?!?!?!?!111///??!?!” style questions.
“Any more questions?”
* everyone raises hand *
“NOT about me being racist and fascist?”
* everyone lowers hand *
How long until someone calls Elon an Uncle Tom for being a traitor to the African-Americans?
Hopefully not everyone left at Twitter is a rainbow unicorn fart sniffer. I’d enjoy having Elon as a boss (at least for something like SpaceX — where you can see a clear vision… Twitter, meh… not so much).
Just for giggles, looked at their career page just now. Actually one job I’d probably qualify for (honestly, probably over qualified) — but one thing that would really stop me is that they ask for GPAs for undergrad, grad, SAT scores, etc… HR weenies — its been 20 years… I don’t remember the details on that crap, and why should it matter at this point?
Sneaky way to favor the younger “only one or two jobs away from college” crowd.. 🙂
You do not want to directly work for Musk.
80 hour work week or something else? (The first one is just the gut impression I get… one of those “I don’t rest and neither do you” types…)
That plus you can’t tell him “no”.
Like Steve Jobs, brilliant and driven and not a good human being.
And for all you who were worried… yes, there is a transwoman Barbie in the cast.
Can’t tell if serious. ?
I guess that might be the point.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyhrYis509A
Hari Nef is in the cast list, does not have a character name attached, and there are rumors the plot involves there being a large number of Barbies to represent all women.
I’m just trying to figure out why playing a completely gonad-less doormat to Barbie is a good career move. Cornering the eunuch role market, I guess?
Maybe Ryan likes to be smooth between the legs. Smooth.
IT’S CALLED SMOOTHGENDER, BIGOT!!11!!!ELEVENTY!!!1!
His name is Smoothie.
Setting yourself up to be Kamala’s VP?
He’s so dumb, he has his name on his underwear.
“Why do you keep calling me Calvin?”
“That’s your name, isn’t it? Its written all over your underwear…”
not as good of a line as
“Where are my pants?!?”
“Over there….. on my hope chest.”
yellow in front, brown in back
I was not familiar with Hari Nef, and from the IMDb it was not clear whether she was trans or just a somewhat masculine looking woman. Not the best job of passing, but not the worst either.

Favorite new Twitter feed. This is what Twitter should be used for.
That’s great. Thanks for sharing.
Coinbase just laid off almost 20% of their staff. I’m glad I didn’t pursue that job when it was open.
The layoffs are beginning as all indications point to an official recession very soon.
CEO is expecting a “crypto winter”.
I applied for a job there last summer, I didnt make the cut to get to an interview.
For some reason the cow pictured reminds me of Ellen DeGeneres.
His name is Ryan Gosling and he’s an actor.
Legit LOL at that.
I’m getting the firing, but having a hard time on making the employee personally liable. So making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear is coming to mind.

He’s not on the hook: the employer is responsible for the mistakes its agents make.
It would look great on a resume, though, that a guy is so decent that his friends rallied to restore his good name…if that’s what they want to do.

Yes.
I’m cynically thinking he pockets the cash unless this GoFundMe is actually designated to his former employer.
People just “want to help” and don’t ask questions like this,
Love those shock quotes around free speech.
“Free speech”, “second amendment”, “right to a fair trial”, all those white supremacist buzz words.
Them complaining that free speech will ruin their content moderation is laughable. There are all sorts of threats and “hate speech” flying all over that site everyday, nothing is moderated except certain accounts that fall foul of the personal biases of the company’s employees. Twitter is the site that literally refused to remove child porn, their “moderation” is worthless.
They’ve spent years, years, working on various ways to keep misinformation away from users, and now Musk wants to come in and destroy all of that in a minute? How dare he! Doesn’t he understand that keeping misinformation out of people’s hands makes us all stronger?
https://rumble.com/v18kjv8-new-moderna-tells-the-fda-its-just-critically-important-to-start-vaccinatin.html
Critically important that a company that has never ever produced a drug or vaccine that has made it through real clinical trials injects infants full of experimental shit.
“It’s critically important that you keep sending us obscene amounts of money.”
Those Russian yacht auctions from FedGov aren’t going to bid themselves…..
Not to mention “critically important” to inject said experimental shit into the demographic that has to be the *least* at risk… I have a hard time wrapping my head around why anyone would even start to consider infants (and children… and frankly young adults for slightly decreasing levels of incredulity) to need this crap.
People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.
Justin Bieber gives them a twitch of approval.
Perfectly normal for a 20-something couple to both have strokes / neurological disorders at the same time. And no liability anyway (nyah nyah nyah-nyah nyah!)
See also: this is fine.
They’re really angling for a revolution over this. It’s completely off the rails now and anybody who looks can see that they are blatantly lying.
We’re well into Big Lie territory where you make it so brazen that it’s hard to comprehend for most people.

Today’s GOA anti gun control campaign.
Cool – I put in a little extra note for my new Senator Lindsey Graham. 2026 is a long ways away but I’ll remember.
This is worth reading even if it is the NYT

Read that and then read an article on other companies doing DEI and social justice crap, and realize that they’re reflections of one another. The rhetoric, however, is night and day different.
Exactly. I’m assuming that’s the point he is trying to make.
I’m sure the NYT’s usual readership will not make the connection, however.
Jesse’s a good guy. And he’s doing the right thing. I can’t read the article due to the paywall – wonder if that article mentions that he sent an email telling employees that if they didn’t like the environment they could take a cash payout and leave.
When I applied there, damn HR asked for my mother f*cking pronouns. So I declined.
This month, Mr. Powell unveiled a 31-page culture document outlining Kraken’s “libertarian philosophical values” and commitment to “diversity of thought,” and told employees in a meeting that he did not believe they should choose their own pronouns. The document and a recording of the meeting were obtained by The Times.
Those who disagreed could quit, Mr. Powell said, and opt into a program that would provide four months of pay if they affirmed that they would never work at Kraken again. Employees have until Monday to decide if they want to take part.
Thank you Sensei
But white supremacists (other than the FBI ^W Patriot Front) are the *real* domestic terrorists. Sheesh.
The phrase “fuck around and find out” comes to mind. Pro-lifers are pretty restrained about stopping abortions with violence, but they won’t take nearly as kindly to pregnancy centers being bombed.
Anti-abortion people have been pretty restrained recently, although there was some violence in the eighties by their radical fringe. The courts established no-protest zones (forget how big, but not onerously so) around clinic entrances. IIRC these were enforced by US Marshals. That establishes an administrative precedent and I can see the courts, particularly today’s SCOTUS giving equal protection to the anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers. The howling and gnashing of teeth will be epic.
Yeah, the violence from the 80s definitely impacted the way the movement approached the issue, even recently. The core constituency, at least from my experience, are very much in the “wave a sign and pray” mode particularly because they don’t want that association with the violent past.
That said, there’s a lot of “my baby’s not at risk, so I temper my reaction” type of mentality. I think that goes away when pregnant wives and daughters and sisters start having to wear flak jackets to their OB appointments.
Yeah. No more sniping at doctors in their own home, please.
I think that the radical pro-abortion fringe will find that violence is not in their best interests, just as the anti-abortion fringe did earlier. At least the anti-abortion people had a point that they were using violence to prevent what they saw as murder of innocents. The pro-abortion fringe is attempting to use violence against people who want to provide care and support for pregnant women; duly noted they use “don’t murder your baby” rhetoric.
Jane’s revenge is not going to win public opinion through this.
Probably drugs… my butt… but they just don’t want to give up on the disinformation board idea in one form or another:

The question is, will congress follow up on the authority the courts have thrown to them.
Of course, that question is rhetorical.
Seems Congress could grant absolute immunity for any actions taken by a government agent under that framework.
Yes, yes, they could.
I am not saying the ruling is correct, I am saying Congress has some work to do.

I have a pizza with pineapple on order; I can’t think of a better way to cap off a taste of ambrosia than a fine conversation with you weirdos.
Blasphemy! Unclean!
Robbie previously told The Hollywood Reporter that the Warner Bros. film is hoping to subvert expectations. “We like the things that feel a little left of center,” the two-time Oscar nominee said. “Something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, ‘Oh, Margot is playing Barbie, I know what that is,’ but our goal is to be like, ‘Whatever you’re thinking, we’re going to give you something totally different — the thing you didn’t know you wanted.’ … Can we truly honor the IP and the fan base and also surprise people? Because if we can do all that and provoke a thoughtful conversation, then we’re really firing on all cylinders.”
Right. That worked out so well for that other IP.
‘Whatever you’re thinking, we’re going to give you something totally different
Meanwhile, totally predictable Top Gun Maverick is cleaning up by giving people exactly what they expect.
I’m a little embarrassed how much I enjoyed that flick.
Don’t be. Maybe it’s something I should write up, but honestly it’s well-crafted. Yes, it’s simple. But it does something a lot of popcorn movies don’t have anymore : it has an actual story. The characters have arcs. it has an actual fucking theme which is the whole point of the nostalgia, it’s not just empty fanservice (vs something like ‘lifting an x-wing to rousing music that means nothing to the main character”). Like, for ex, the football game – yes, it references the Volleyball game from the original film, but the scene has two other purposes: it serves the theme by Maverick having to stop playing and watch the young’uns, and it demonstrates he has more to offer than just being able to fly a plane.
well, I’m pretty sure the fanbase would be surprised by a clever story and interesting characters, but somehow I doubt that’s what you mean.
Keep it up assholes

This is why all streets (but not necessarily roads, although I would be okay with that too) should be private. If they violate the HOA rules for the street, they would be trespassing.
They’re already in violation of a number of laws, some of them quite severe in their punishments.
These random neighbors are not SCOTUS justices, not responsible in any way for the ruling, and have no control over who their neighbors are. This is the ultimate in childish shitbaggery.
I imagine that this sort of thing will cause an uptick in people moving to HOA neighborhoods, which is unfortunate because HOA politics attract people who are equally as shitbaggy as those protesters.
Maybe it will change some minds? I’ll bet that 95% of the neighbors vote Blue.
This is why I opposed the protests at Sununu’s house over his emergency orders. Reopen NH also opposed them.
The first couple of times people protested governors’ emergency orders at the governors’ private homes (Baker and Wolf), I thought, “Great, those guys should feel some pain!” Then I realized their neighbors and their family have nothing to do with what the governors did.
According to some Reopen NH folks that were much more heavily involved in lobbying legislators, more than a few legislators were turned off by the protests at Sununu’s house and by calls from constituents who were pissed about what “anti-vaxxers” were doing at Sununu’s house.
If it is a governor’s mansion then I am all for it, but the governor or any other agent of the state lives in normal houses, even country clubs, I oppose it.
I think one of the ones in Minnesoda was in front of the Governor’s Mansion.
The ones for Wolf, Baker, and Sununu were at their private homes. Wolf only uses the PA governor’s mansion for official events, otherwise he lives at his private home. Massachusetts does not have a governor’s mansion. As far as I know, Sununu does not make use of the New Hampshire Governor’s Mansion.
Leave Sununu Alone!!!!! I agree, work is work and family is family.
I don’t think this ever happened to Strawberry.

Oh, man. Brutal.

RIP, hero.
Terrific memorial from Spike Cohen, but still heartbreaking. Fucking pigs.
He did what needed to be done and got killed for it.

Too local news. LEO gets terminated.
“Last Friday, the Police Chief and the Labor Relations Office recommended that I terminate Christopher Schurr’s employment with the City. I accepted that recommendation and scheduled a required discharge hearing. I have been informed by Mr. Schurr’s representatives that he is waiving his right to the hearing and, therefore, I have decided to terminate Mr. Schurr’s employment with the Grand Rapids Police Department effective June 10, 2022. Due to the on-going criminal matter and the potential for civil litigation, I will not be providing any additional comment concerning Mr. Schurr at this time.”

I don’t know if it was the lighting or the camera work but those old 70’s sit-coms are just plain depressing to me. It took me decades to look past that to see the humor exhibited. I was a lorn, lonesome craitchure.
I’m just the opposite, Festus. I loved S&S, Chico and The Man, Welcome Back Kotter, All In the Family, Good Times, Barney Miller – pretty much all of them.
It’s a treat to be able to go back and watch them. They are even better than I remembered!
Benson and WKRP are still good fun.
🙂
These really do brighten my day, Sean! Thanks for posting them for us!
Oh hell yeah! Love, love them.
What’s worse…
Someone with a basket full of groceries in the self checkout or someone orders 15 specialty coffee drinks at a drive thru.
I’m leaning the drive thru.
This is the correct answer.
Festus! Long time no talk buddy. Hope all is well
I’ve been away. Things ain’t great so no point dragging the rest of you fine people down. Still lurking. Always lurking.
Keep on keepin on, you know where to find us
Drive thru. At least the next self-checkout may come open before they’re done scanning everything.
Did you see how I got my word list?
No. Did you pull it from the source?
So unless he throws a dummy list up, just going to developer mode on the quordle.com site you can see a blacklist and the wordlist.
Fuck me! All I want is my order of fries! Work starts in 15!
Typically the person at the self-checkout isn’t obstructing much of the flow of commerce, as the other stations turn over fairly quickly. Most drive throughs don’t have multiple lanes.
Agreed
I don’t go to places that have specialty coffees in the drive-thru, so it’s the former for me.
Of course, you all have read me bitch about just that on several occasions.
I don’t use self-checkout lanes, and I don’t drink coffee, so I don’t have a mongoose in this fight.
Have we? Have we actually read your comments?
Everybody reads my comments, and listens to my music links.
Yes. For about 5 seconds but you still get the clicks.
I usually use the regional grocer, which doesn’t have self-checkout and tries to staff the checkout lines so there’s never more than a couple people in each line to checkout.
Occasionally, I’ll go to Kroger though I try to avoid them as much as possible since they began funding lobbyists to push new gun control laws. It’s a shame since the chain had previously stood up to intimidation from Moms Demand Action for Gun Safety after the *I think* VA Tech shooting.
But last time I went to Kroger, they only add one full-checkout lane open on a Sunday afternoon with the line already several people deep. The 8 self-checkout lanes were all open. Seemed like a no brainer to me, even with a full cart. It seems like all the places with self checkout lines severely restrict the number of manned full-service lines available, which usually ends up with me going self-checkout because time is too valuable to spend waiting in lines.
They are still writing goblin mode articles? The whole thing is from a made up story about Kanye West and Julia Fox.
A “Hari Nef” is what happens when you pin a Turkish wrestler and rape his sweaty armpit. Easy.

Notebook…I believe it all derives from the Notebook
I wouldn’t kick it out of bed but yeah, I’ve dated plenty of more attractive men. To me, anyway.
I guess I have little in common with straight women’s preferences for men.
Ive never flown first class. I am not sure for domestic it is worth it or should save for first-class on an overseas trip…however, who knows when the wife and I will be able to do that anytime soon.
Definitely not worth it for domestic.
Overrated for short hops (especially in 2022), but great for longer flights.
Irrelevant if you don’t fly much – fucking spend the money and drink the champagne!
(near)coast to coast…so maybe. The appeal of just our two seats and not a third to deal with is nice. Ill leave it up to the wife.
So long as I have a window seat, I have no fucks to give. I’m a fucking Labrador on the way to the river!
My last few flights were short hops to Ohio with single seats on one side of the aisle so I grab those and am happy. But holy crap seats have gotten small. My ass isn’t THAT wide.
Comfort Plus is worth the money.
Whoa, I totally read that one wrong…
Woof
Very much depends on the equipment – I’d save it for the planes big enough to have a proper first class section.
Domestic first class is good if you feel it’s necessary to get drunk in the air. On certain transcontinental routes with certain airlines you get lie-flat seats–pretty much international business/first–that can be valuable if you want to sleep for a few hours. But that’s an exception, available on premium coast-to-coast routes only. Business (or first) class is way more justifiable for international flights–naturally way more expensive too.
It’s ridiculous how US airlines call their domestic premium product First but a much better international premium product is called Business. Sure, International First is better than International Business but many airlines don’t have International First at all or only on select routes.
I took business class to Tokyo, back in the day. That was fantastic. It was also like $10k
If I were flying overseas routes, I would spring for better seats…Ive done LA to Denmark at the back the Queen of the Skies and it was terrible…but it was also pre-9/11 and you could meander about the plane.
I flew Shanghai to LA once and there were like three of us in this giant cabin. It would have been great except it was like 12 hours and 3 or 4 of them were a non-stop terror ride of turbulence. Seats were good, though.
Our company springs for business or first class for flights longer than 7 hours, so going to Asia is a treat. Also really really fucking expensive, as you noted. I had a short notice round trip right before Christmas to Japan that cost over $12k once.
I got to fly on an A380 from Dallas to Sydney once–over 17 hours in the air, but what a nice airplane. Way too big though.
Tokyo is too far away to fly in business. In February 2020 I changed my non-stop flight to Tokyo in business to the one with a stopover in Chicago to fly in first. The BOS-NRT flight doesn’t have the first cabin. But I don’t pay cash rates.
My old Chief Engineer boss at Delphi Automotive was an intrepid traveler. IIRC (it’s been more than 22 years,) he’d fly Coach for any destination except Asia – for which he’d splurge for Business class. He once had a trip planned – from OH to probably either southern TX or AZ – with an airline strike imminent. When I asked if he wanted to reschedule, he said, “I’ll go ahead and see how far I get.”
I’ve flown first class. Domestically and on a return trip from Ecuador. First class on the return trip from Ecuador was about the same as US domestic first class.
The seats are a bit more comfortable.
Flown it once from Boston to KC. I was an employee of AA at the time and of the perks of being so is if there’s an open seat in FC and the flight attendants know and like you they’ll give the upgrade.
…it was okay. Roasted hen with steamed vegetables and a few beers in more comfortable seat was nice but unless I was well above middle class I wouldn’t spend the extra money on the experience.
Holy old avatar, Batman!
I think I’ll keep it. Actually put a little work into creating that image.
I flew AA first class once from DFW to SJC(?) once because my company screwed up the travel plan and by the time I went to fix it, that was the only seat available. The extra space was the biggest perk. The rest was okay. Nothing worth the upcharge.
I came thisclose to flying the corporate jet from SJC to LAS, but a big trial threw a wrench in the plan. We got to tour the jet instead (yay consolation prize), and I was distinctly unimpressed. Most of the Class C RVs I’ve been in were nicer. I still wouldn’t turn down a ride if the opportunity availed itself.
Round trip: LAX to Brisbane Australia, 1st class, $27,700
“QAnon conspiracy theorist who killed his two kids, ages 2 and 10, with a spearfishing gun says he was ‘deceived’ into believing they had ‘serpent DNA’ as he admits he was delusional”

WTF??
Isn’t this old news? From like a year ago?
the murder of his two children in August 2021
Thought so…
“In the two-page letter viewed by PEOPLE, Matthew Taylor Coleman had written to a friend about what has been going through his mind in the 10 months since he was locked up for the murder of his two children in August 2021.
‘I was deceived,’ Coleman wrote in the letter from an undisclosed federal prison in California. ‘I was deceiving myself. I know now that the [reptile] DNA thing was a delusion in my own mind. I made myself believe something that wasn’t there.’ “

He thinks Mickey Mouse is a real person.

I would love to go back to 1975 Joe and tell him what ridiculous nonsense he has to pretend to believe in 2022.

Heh. That would be even funnier with a frozen water bottle
Some kids were launching snowballs on the Penn State campus back in the ’90s with one of those big beach slingshots. Some moron got the idea to shoot frozen water bottles and ice balls. They hit some kid in the head and put him in a coma.
Why not just use a rock?
I’m sure alcohol was involved. I’ve done stuff as a kid that makes me cringe now.
We used those…nah Ill tell the story on Zoom sometime
I laughed, but it’s time for SMOD.
All praise SMOD!
Seen on the way home – a Chevy Malibu with dark tinted windows with a personalized plate – “X WIFE”.
You know she’s gonna be a low rent, toxic person.
Didja know that Lauren Boeberht whored herself out to Ted Cruz AND yanked two babbies from her womb? I seen it on the Twitters.
Rush Limbaugh also sucked Bill Clinton’s dick..not Monica.
Hmmm. Rush did seem fond of cigars…

Think that sounds true?

That’s the best argument I’ve ever Heard.
As long as mass murders are in fashion, never forget that Democrat associated Jim Jones killed close to a thousand people.
Fuck. Wrong day
