What’s crazy is that guy works on Veggie Tales… I feel like I should send that to my evangelical relatives…

Homeland Security analyst filmed telling black teen girl, “You don’t deserve to be here”

Re Trump’s post-rally walk of shame.

Trump "furious" after sparsely-attended Tulsa rally

All of the times I can think of where that picture would have humanized him would have required he didn’t have those qualities. There were times when that photo could have made me reevaluate him. But all those times would have been moments where he was showing empathy and sadness for people affected by disasters. Imagine this being his reaction to Hurricane Maria’s devastation of Puerto Rico. But all those situations and moments are impossible, because he’s a fucking monster and only capab…

For making me shoot carbonated beverage out of my nose:

Trump praises 'America's frownders'

Turn that frownder upside-downder! [image]

The US military is allegedly investigating the cause of racial disparities in the US military

I’m shocked, shocked to find that institutionalized racism is going on in here!

Today Arizona reports its highest Covid daily death toll, and it's not even noon yet

Hey, AZ residents: move to New England. We have amazing health care facilities, a downward trend of Covid cases, an amazingly resilient capability to WFH, and tons of other stuff I can’t even name. I mean…you have the 112 degree temps, fires, and the Grand Canyon, but at least it’s a dry heat, right?

It’s just a picture, with no explanation or introduction, but it so totally nails where we are at these days.

This can’t get enough likes.

347 risk analysts were asked: "What are the most likely risks for the world over the next year and a half?"

I gotta just say, given the year we’ve already had, that’s the weakest, laziest list of possible disasters that could have been imagined. But this is what we get from the exciting world of risk analysts. A REAL list would include: We lose the moon. Nutritionists announce they were wrong, kale is bad for you. Murder hornets become less of a threat when the murder squirrels show up. 50% increase in creepy clown sightings. Every few days the sun flickers. Aliens feel bad for us a…

The "Jeffrey Epstein's Financial Assistant Scheme" is a 2020 twist on the classic Nigerian Prince Scam

There’s a scam going around that is worse than this. It goes: Come on out and party! You don’t need no mask!

St Louis couple point guns at peaceful protestors on street by mansion

They’ve gone off on a branch. You should really leaf it alone, I wood.

Wonderful parody lyrics and super topical for the thread

'Bar Lives Matter' concert promoted by Texas bar owner to protest coronavirus restrictions

This parody is only mildly changed, because the real worlds are still relevant. Making your way in the world today Takes everything you’ve got; Taking a break from all your worries Sure would help a lot. Wouldn’t you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go Where everybody gets the plague, And they’re always glad you came; You want to be where you can see, Our troubles are all the same; You want to be where everybody has the plague…

“How do you put a hole inside another hole?” sounds like a modern Zen koan.

Unmasked shopper asserts constitutional right to sit on the floor in Costco

Speaking of which: the collective noun for a group of Covidiots is a Covfefe.

2020 Election Thread (formerly: 2020 Presidential Candidates Thread) (Part 1)

So much this. And people trotting out mental illness to explain shit like this just perpetuates the stereotype that people with mental illness can’t think for themselves or are dangerously unpredictable. Which then gets used as justification for locking us away, marginalizing us, torturing us, murdering us, etc. No, I am not exaggerating. And you know what? A lot of those perpetrating those atrocities claimed to be doing so out of compassion, just like the people who leap to blame MI for eve…

The screaming no-masker was fired from his job

Hopefully another raging anti-mask asshole will be fired from his job in November of this year.

The best (and worst) materials for DIY masks

Don’t go to a bar for four hours and think you’re risk free because you’re wearing a mask. If you go to a bar for four hours without removing your mask to take a sip it is a waste of everybody’s time or a soggy mask.

Not first rodeo for gun-toting St. Louis couple

Aand… we’ve reached a point in this timeline where folks can truly learn an important life lesson from a green piece of foam with an arm up it’s ass. I hate this timeline.

Power corrupts?

The more power you get, the more the rule of unintended consequences comes into play. Even the best, most well-intentioned person has to make choices. Even if you see yourself as a leader with responsibilities, you are going to make choices that have unintended consequences and the more power you have, the farther reaching they will be. It actually changes your thinking. This is why I would rather win 1 million dollars than 100 million. One million would keep me well comfortable for the rest…
