In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, eggs and bacon at Bob Evans, and then down to the old billionaire pedophile's compound to spend extended time with one of his sex trafficking victims. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

Fellas, is it gay to trees?
I’m a little surprised that parks aren’t woke now. Like, lovingly maintaining fields and groves for the enjoyment of all, that’s woke as hell. RETVRN TO TRADITION; true tradmascs exercise in parking lots, like the Spartans.

A car but sometimes the left pedal makes it go faster and sometimes you have to turn the wheel twice as hard and sometimes it just bursts into flames for no reason.

Like, there are runs that feel terrible and then I look at the stats afterwards and they were technically great, and runs where the opposite is true, and days when my heart rate is awful for no reason, none.

Donald Trump has sued the BBC for one billion dollars. The network should wait 40 days and then pay him the entire amount without a trial.

Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.
We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Barack Obama had a whole thing in one of his books about optimizing his wardrobe to reduce decision fatigue, so I’ll just claim that I, too, have been running a whole country or something, and it’s not just that I can’t be arsed to figure out how to dress myself.

Okay, cool, but right now every hyperscaler is looking at tens or hundreds of billions worth of “hole in their balance sheets” if OpenAI can’t pay for the ~$1.4 trillion they’ve committed to.
And those hyperscalers are, y’know. In everyone’s retirement accounts.
