Wyoming always sends their “best”

Also gross!

Oh gross!

Do they also sell 50 caliber armor piercing bullets everywhere? They had those too

Tangentially related, the military has been “losing” ammunition and weapons for a shockingly long time, and in the 80s Fort Bragg (the largest military base) was remarkably easy to rob.

In 1986, investigators for the United States Congress and Department of Defense reported growing concern in the U.S. Armed Forces over missing weapons. Hundreds of millions of dollars in military arms, ammunition, and explosives had disappeared.

A congressional report on Fort Bragg cited a large amount of missing ordnance recovered around the post, including 148 pounds of plastic explosives, 142 pounds of TNT, 1,080 feet of detonating cord, 13 hand grenades, and 35 antipersonnel land mines. Some of the weapons and explosives turned up in private homes.

And that was just at Fort Bragg, in the 80s when post-Vietnam violent white supremacy was taking shape.

The Branch Davidians also had a 50 caliber in 1995. No one is sure how they acquired it.

I have to imagine desperate soldiers might take to selling it instead.

He told Business Insider. “They were pressured to see the movie. Your military superior, that’s not your shift manager at Taco Bell or Starbucks. They have complete and total control over you.”

No shit. Why do you think most people don’t join the cult? It’s been awful for literally generations.

I’m sorry, you’re saying the developers themselves guzzle urine? Seems a little harsh.

They’re so bereft of ideas again, they’re remaking the awful Uwe Boll movies based on video games.

I believe that most of the knowledge worth having is found in books, and book critics have a vital function in introducing the public to important books

I agree with the first part, but I have never once read a book review by a newspaper critic. I never find them of value, I’d rather read almost anyone else’s review.

I read a lot of books, but this type of book critic is not as valuable as the author claims.

It’s important to note that On This Day… 1776 is not fully crafted by AI. The script, for instance, was written by a team of writers overseen by Aronofsky’s longtime writing partners Ari Handel and Lucas Sussman

A team of writers for this crap? Legitimately?

Of all the things to brag about not being AI.

This is of course the same game he’s been playing since 2016. His fans are just legitimately too blinded by their cult to realize it.

Literally every time. Now that he’s not running, he’ll just keep repeating it for every election because it works for his idiot base of Christian nationalists.

I thought it was really obvious I was talking about the movie. He plays the main character of the movie.

Sorry, let me match your tone.

You… thought I was talking about the game and not the movie? It seems clear to me that the YouTube celebrity wouldn’t also be in the game, but I’ll clarify.

A two-hour movie based on a thirty-minute game where the only person on screen (in the movie) is a YouTube celebrity.

It’s really hard to get excited.

The thing in the numbers that we’ve been experiencing is the shift among some of the folks who voted for him — his voting coalition — not necessarily the governing support he has, but his voting coalition," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.

That coalition included younger people, Latinos and independents, all of whom Trump is struggling with in this survey.

The non-Republican dumbshits that voted for Trump are already regretting it? You don’t say.

I’m not even sure they know how to tell the truth.

The song “We’ll Have Our Home Again” was released by the Pine Tree Riots on YouTube, Spotify and other streaming platforms in 2020. Other songs that the group has produced include one with the lyrics, “Well, another Charlottesville wouldn’t do us any harm”

Oh yeah no neo-Nazi shit there.

This is backwards:

Substack specified that more sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, passwords, and other financial information, was unaffected.

Credit card numbers and passwords are so easy to change.

Leaking phone numbers is way worse.

I take this further: Trump wouldn’t exist as he is now if Vince McMahon hadn’t primed everyone to truly believe that it’s ok to be an actual, real-life bad person for money. McMahon and Donald Trump are cut from almost the exact same cloth.

They’re both pathetic men who grew up as white trash, obsessing over their daddies who didn’t love them, refusing to admit their raging insecurity. They’re both too pathetic to realize that refusing to admit it makes their insecurity never go away.

Literally everyone else can tell, though.

McMahon grew up as a southerner in a trailer park in North Carolina, forced his way into his daddy’s business, faked a northeast accent, and was totally unscrupulous. He always teased “trashy” southern people because he is one and he hates that.

Trump is the same. He grew up in Queens around disgusting self-hating bigots and wanted to make everyone in Manhattan pay for making him feel less-than. But he is less-than.

One of my favorites was when they were testing something about poison ivy.

They assumed that they could just rub it on themselves, but eventually they had to test every member of the cast and crew, and they only found one person who actually had a reaction to poison ivy!

That’s actually why I looked it up! I was like “oh is he finally going down the drain?”

Not yet. Evil lives longer than good so he seems fine, but we can take comfort in the fact that he isn’t seeking re-election in 2026.

He’s 83, way too old to be a senator. He turns 84 on February 20th and I hope he dies before then.

Unfortunately, Mitch McConnell didn’t have another stroke like he deserves to.

He got his ass kicked, too. In the mugshot he has wounds on his face.
