  • This is a slam that I will gratefully accept - and it's a bloody awesome on.

    Thank you for sharing this, OP.

  • I feel dirty having clicked on a twitter site link, but it was funny.

    Ok, now I'll go shower.

  • Holy...

    This might be weirder than the time he bragged about his immunity and fearlessness of germs in the context of cocaine and a public toilet seat. But I forget how that goes.

  • What’s he supposed to do? Dress up as batman and go punch bad guys?

    This is brilliant - thank you for the laugh!

  • This is great - and it sends an important message, even if it should be obvious at this point. Have you considered making a separate post out of this so that more may see it? Thank you.

  • And this implies:

    These judges knew this could happen to them.

    And still, they chose to do the right thing.

    Judicial bad-ass heroes.

  • This - and thank you.

  • “It’s breaking me. And there’s nothing that can be done for it, unless the president does something,” Michalski said about her skyrocketing power bills, adding she no longer supports Trump. “And I don’t see him doing it. He’s had plenty of time.”

    There it is.

    And the article reads as a sad story of people from rural West Virginia who have such a hard life, so few resources for their needs, but continue to vote against their interests.

    Against theirs and those of many people of marginalized communities, because of an incredible lack of empathy in the latter case, it seems to me.

  • This.

  • An F-15E Strike Eagle has a cost of $31m (though a new replacement could be $100m) but it is the rescue, far more high-risk than whatever mission the US warplane was on, where the difficulties clearly began.

    A decision to use an abandoned Iranian airstrip south of Isfahan as a forward operating location went wrong when two C-130 Hercules transporters, probably modified search and rescue variants, got stuck in the ground.

    They were destroyed by the US to prevent them falling into the Iranians’ hands, US sources indicated, and more transporters had to be brought forward to complete the extraction of the wounded second crew member. Each of the modified Hercules have a list price of nearly $115m.

    An HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter involved in the rescue was also damaged by gunfire on Friday – so it is easy to conclude that the cost in lost and damaged airframes exceeds $250m, largely for the rescue of the second crew member.

    Forgetting the war crimes committed by the aggressors against the people of Iran, for a moment, it's amazing how expensive this operation to rescue someone is.

  • I understand an apostrophe is used to replace the terminating letter 'g' in a verb ending in "-ing" to indicate informal, colloquial speech or dialect - and that its use represents the omission of the "g" sound.

    Nice.

    I just didn't think Pedophile Felon Drink Bleach Trump made much use of the apostrophe in general, but perhaps I'm mistaken.

  • The Sieg Heiling Space Karen genius could not have foreseen this. Is that right?

  • This is the way.

  • In a post on microblogging site X the embassy wrote, "Remember these two criminals. Leigh R. Tate, the commander, and Jeffrey E. York, the executive officer of the USS Spruance, who ordered the launch of Tomahawk missiles three times, killing 168 innocent children at a school in #Minab."

    The post ended emotionally by saying, “Remember these two. Don’t they have children of their own?".

  • This is crazy on so many levels, despite the horrible abuses of human rights.

  • Exactly, thank you. It's interesting how the great culprit was omitted from the title.

  • Everyone remember them good 'ol covid days when the antivaxxers were easily identifiable in store waiting lines with pooped pants?

    Yeah, that was something.

  • Freestyle skier Hunter Hess was asked at a press conference Wednesday how he feels about representing America at the Winter Olympics, given its acute tension over violent immigration raids and other political crises.

    “There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t,” Hess said in Italy.

    "Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US,” Hess added.

    Hess said it "brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now.”

    This young man is a hero for speaking out.
