“Bringing our values to the battlefield and applying them with precision is what sets us apart.” —Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley, 11/18/25.
Adm. Frank M. "Mitch" Bradley was reportedly the commander who oversaw the mission and allegedly justified the second strike by saying survivors could have called other drug traffickers to retrieve the two remaining survivors and any leftover cargo.

There were a bunch of people ranking Star Wars movies yet they ALL failed to mention the most important one.
Scene from the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars parody. The brothers exchange glances in front of a building shaped like a Vader helmet labeled Tall Darth and Handsome.

Cartoon with two eagles calmly scoffing at the idea that the owl is a predator because he’s never bothered them. The last panel has one saying “No idea what Mr. Mouse was going on about.”

Tfw you get Arizona Ice Teabagged by Canada
A weather map showing a mass of wintry air dipping far down the Eastern US to bring on much colder weather this week. The colors of the cold mass are pale aqua green, dark green, and pink, reminding me of an Arizona Ice Tea can. The lines roughly follow the Canadian border until the dip, which is long and rounded and very suggestive in shape.

Cartoon with a person pointing over his shoulder at a beautiful, peaceful landscape. Birds fly over a sunset, a river winds through a wooded valley, etc. He says “Yo, Elon. Check out this beautiful life of infinite possibilities your immense wealth gives you access to.” Second panel: darkened indoors. Beer cans and other trash litter the floor around a crazed, ragged Elon on all fours over a shattered phone, wielding a hammer. Oblivious to the first person, he yells, “The people on this FUCKING website won’t call me the MEME MAESTRO.”

Screenshot of the Hill article from a year ago: Opinion - Kamala’s newest lie: Trump will send the army after you. Paired with an unflattering picture of Kamala Harris with her finger in the air as if lecturing.

Care Bears link hands representing on their bellies different parts of the pro-democracy/anti-Trump alliance: a trans flag, a BLM fist, a red slash through a Nazi symbol, an anarchist symbol, rainbow pride, a coat hanger with a slash through it, etc

It was enacted in Massachusetts. Its success was one of the reasons that attempts to go further had any political juice. Per Wikipedia:
As such it is one of the models of the Affordable Care Act's health insurance exchanges. The 2006 Massachusetts law successfully covered approximately two-thirds of the state's then-uninsured residents, half via federal-government-paid-for Medicaid expansion (administered by MassHealth) and half via the Connector's free and subsidized network-tiered health care insurance for those not eligible for expanded Medicaid. Relatively few Massachusetts residents used the Connector to buy full-priced insurance. After implementation of the law, 98% of Massachusetts residents had health coverage.

The one that got Bushart arrested was a meme featuring President Donald Trump and the words, “We have to get over it.” That quote, the meme explained, was said by Trump last year after a school shooting at Iowa’s Perry High School.

It looked like this for blocks and blocks in Newport News.
A crowd standing on the sidewalks with handmade signs and American flags. They are the least scary looking people you can imagine.

Lol I just printed mine on paper on a color printer at work and then taped them to cardboard for support. Then I taped the small but sturdy signs to garden stakes. Worked pretty well considering my lack of supplies! I used these:
A red and white No Parking Any Time streetsign, with an American flag over the Par so it reads No King Any Time George Washington, holding the Declaration of Independence, mutters: “It’s like they didn’t listen at all.” Jesus replies: “Bro, same”

We should’ve switched it to “creepy” or something. I never felt comfortable shaming weirdness as such; that kind of conformity enforcement is a rightwing tool and should stay that way; we embrace human variety. Weird nerds. Weird queers. Weird artists. We shouldn’t retreat from radical acceptance.

Hehe, you made me think of this:
A one star review for Outback in which a Diana fumes that they forgot the blooming onion for the order her husband picked up. Followed by a five star review from her: “My fat husband ate the blooming onion in the car and lied. I am sorry and I don’t know how to delete reviews.”

That is factually wrong. The context he said it was a mistake in had nothing to do with trans people.

A wooden ship at sea is being torn to pieces by the sailors on it, who are using its planks to each build their own individual boats.
