My youngest told a bully that they were “sorry people are mean to you at home so you have to be mean at school”. They really said now we’re BOTH gonna have emotional damage 😭 (the bullying mysteriously stopped after that and no one has fucked with them since 🥴)
What's an insult you'll never forget?

He’s big on letting us become vulnerable to previously defeated enemies.

Like measles.
But I was told Donald Trump defeated Isis in his first term.
This is a real tweet...the Representative both heralds Trump's deadly strikes and also him for being the "Peace President" in the same tweet

Astonishing how ridiculous this country is right now

Reposting out of a response thread to remind US people: if you make people mad on the internet, it is a VERY worthwhile investment to add an umbrella policy to your homeowners' or renters' insurance. I recommend a $2m per incident minimum; we increased ours to $5m recently just in case.
This is part of why I *strongly* recommend anyone who makes assholes on the internet mad a lot should have a umbrella liability policy added to their homeowners' or renters' insurance, with a minimum coverage of $2m per incident, although we just increased ours to $5m just in case.

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.
Please be aware of possible scams! My client, Mel Curth, is not seeking any donations at this time. She is grateful for your support and instead requests folks that want to help to donate to the local organizations of your choice!

My sister called for Christmas and while we were talking about how Trump has no understanding whatsoever of how literally anything works, she mentioned how obvious it is that he never had any real friends because if he had, they would have constantly roasted his ass for being so dumb.

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!”

“A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

Does anyone know the exact text of the impeachment article that got Andrew Johnson impeached?

Here it is:

"Resolved, That Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors."

That's it.

The most valuable skill I learned from art school (on the creative writing side, not visual arts) is how to take--and give--criticism. Sounds simple, but I find more and more that it is NOT negligible.

My headcanon is that Kevin grew up to be the dude from saw.
the difference between the Home Alone & Saw movies is basically just the score. Kevin McCallister is a precocious serial killing prodigy.

Youtube loves to annoy me by throwing a billion "art school is a complete scam!!!" videos at me.

It's true that you do not NEED to go to art school. It's not like there's a licensure board for it.

HOWEVER. If you don't go to art school you still gotta do SOMETHING.

If you’re surprised by any revelations in Epstein files re: Trump that is because the media failed you in an epic way in 2016. One did not need to look hard to find decades of depravity concerning his behavior but they chose to look the other way because HRC had some emails.
