This is gross. If you think that responding to a tragedy with “thoughts and prayers” is insufficient, surely responding with mockery is even worse.

I remember as a kid, there was this boy who kept jump scaring this other girl. She hated it and she’d scream every time, and then he’d laugh. He thought it was funny when she screamed, so every time she did it rewarded his behavior.

In my quest to use up all 50lbs of grapes we harvested, last night I made the Concord grape pie from Joy of Cooking.
Very good; would make again, but I’d probably add more tapioca than it called for to get a better set.

If my spouse were to die like that, I’m sure I’d mentally need to spin it too. But this *is* spin. His final words were not witnessing for Jesus, they were race-baiting an audience member.
I do not wish to disrespect the dead, but no: he was NOT a martyr.

Can someone explain to me what “ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology” would even mean? I’m genuinely asking. Is that like carving the ⚧️ symbol on a bullet or something?

The neighbor girl said out loud what I’m sure many HOAs would love to say about my front yard. Good thing I don’t have an HOA.
