"HAY! That's me!

@Jolly I posted the CJR story a few days ago. What kind of world have we entered where a story can earn a Pulitzer Prize, be thoroughly debunked, and the winners fail, refuse, to acknowledge their errors? Journalism descends deeper into partisanship...again.

China is an asshole.

It’s insanity to put adults in positions of responsibility and then take away their ability to use judgement. Does anyone think that policy is stopping child abuse anywhere?

In some families, 180 sentence would have meant he might live 180 days before he had an accident cleaning his gun, fell asleep on train tracks, or did a slip and fall into a stone quary.

Morbid fascinating for me. LOL

@Doctor-Phibes I was laughing and feeling sorry for you all at the same time. 555

@George-K said in Well, I shot a hole in my trashcan...: Curious. Why shoot the possum? From what I've read they're great at removing other pests (insects, etc.). I know if they get into a barn and pee on the hay, it can be a big problem for whatever eats the hay.

I thought you'd started baking.

@Klaus said in High fat diet cuts seizures: @George-K TLA? Three-letter-acronym. (I did that on purpose, you know)

Apparently, there's no "bottom" for [this guy](There’s no bottom for this guy) either. A short-term staffer for George Santos claims he was sexually harassed by the disgraced Long Island representative, who allegedly touched his groin and invited him home, according to an ethics complaint the man says he filed. Derek Myers — a former journalist who secretly tape-recorded Santos admitting that he “lied to everyone” — tweeted that he complained to the Office of Congressional Ethics and the United States Capitol Police about the alleged harassment. Myers, 30, contends that Santos hired him as an assistant on Jan. 23 and that two days later, they were in the rep’s Washington, DC, office going over the mail. He claims that Santos wanted them to sit together on a small sofa, then put his hand on his knee and said, “Hey buddy, we’re going to karaoke tonight. Would you like to go?'”, according to a copy of the complaint tweeted by Myers. “I kindly declined the invitation by telling the Congressman I was not a fan of clubs and bars and that I was not a good singer. The Congressman proceeded to take his hand and move it down my leg into my inner thigh and proceeded to touch my groin,” the complaint said.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Swimmers: @89th said in Swimmers: @Aqua-Letifer said in Swimmers: FOUNDERING. Not floundering. FFS. Wouldn’t that depend if the boat was totally disabled or if it was still trying to move? I can’t tell in the video if the boat’s engines are dead or not. "Floundering" would mean acting and moving like a flounder. Which would mean wriggling back and forth violently and incessantly while trying to free yourself from a line. Flounders don't bob and sway lazily on the surface waiting to be rescued. It's fucking foundering. I’d agree with that, the boat (regardless of engines) was just floating there like an obese person in a wave pool. I also didn’t know of flounder vs founder.

Bell-end

@Mik said in Jan. 6 defendants lying to the Courts?: So they have to be sincere? You haven’t spent much time in a courtroom, have you? It’s not that they should be sincere, it’s that they should be smart enough not to brag about their insincerity in the press between their guilty plea and sentencing. But again, these are not very bright guys. Really by definition. These are the imbeciles who couldn’t even see through Trump in January of 2021.

@Doctor-Phibes said in A great SNL skit: There's nothing funny about American politics, Jon. Shame on you. I’m imagining a skit where leftists consider supporting Freddie Kruger or Jason or Dracula or Godzilla. They would say positive things about them, like Dracula has a lot of executive experience as a Count, or Godzilla would reduce the need for a defense budget. Then they would see polling data indicating DeSantis would beat them and they’d give the horror movie scream.
