Fighting the urge to write “excellent med student, exemplary work, dubious anime opinions”
Wife reading a submission for her writing group: some writers are just trying way too hard to come up with penis metaphors. “his war hammer at my gate”
Me: True, if you’re gonna go in that direction, battering ram is right there.

Does anyone have a scorecard for how many times ICE/CBP have claimed someone rammed/tried to ram them? Seems like a whole lot at this point, and I don’t think a single one has been an actual attempt to ram them
It’s like their second favorite bullshit charge after “obstruction” (annoying them)

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.
It's all white supremacy and greed.

This is so heartbreaking
And our government is trying to paint him as some crazed assassin.
This would be wrong to happen to anyone, but it hits harder that it’s a HCW that by all accounts was a genuinely good person

The dots on an absolutely absurd play that the Rams had no business surrendering.
And yet, they did.

“ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do” played over video of ICE engaging in acts of violence should be the wall to wall DNC media strategy right now
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

Holy shit, Trump admin is literally asking Penn for lists of Jews there because something something antisemitism
This is like two steps away from “let’s have all the Jews wear yellow stars so we can better protect them from antisemitism”

It’s crazy someone wrote a whole song about starting rounds on the highest floor and going down. Very niche.
Definitely a banger, though.

Once again asking RBs and WRs to throw the ball away in situations where they’re about to take a large loss. You’ll get an ineligible downfield penalty, but 1st and 15 is much better than 2nd and 15
