The generals said "sir are you sure you want to fly the diarrhea bomber over the AI city with the nonsense billboards" and I said [zesty] we've got to shit the hell out of 'em. And no one has more loose stool than me. And actually that was very smart. Making myself the diarrhea president was smart.

It's wild that when Trump talks about how they're getting rid of Democrat Programs and keeping Republican Programs he means "public health" and "Sicario Fantasy Camp: Chicagoland." Full polarization, to the point where anything aimed at keeping people alive or alleviating suffering is woke bullshit.
Ugh... This study has existed for decades, providing valuable health data for all sorts of topics and publications. This is just more awful news. 🛟😷 Sociology medsky

Every day, in cities across this country, brave ICE agents and a bunch of random other guys in tactical Under Armour dri-fit gear mask up and do the "dizzy bat race" version of the border shootout scene from Sicario. This is the only way to ensure the safety of the homeland.

I had to correct this review because I thought “ah!-matized” was a play on “traumatized” when it’s actually a play on “dickmatized,” which is itself a play on “hypnotized.” I now hate this song. Zero stars to Taylor Swift. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

THE DEPARTED was released 19 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great Hollywood remakes, and the movie that finally gave director Martin Scorsese Oscars success, the story of how it came to be will have you seeing rats everywhere…

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
