Boomers:

We drank from the hose, we shot each other with BB guns, we had lawn darts, and wood hammers for croquet.

We didn’t have car seats, seat belts or SPF 30 sunscreen.

The TV stations ran a commercial after the nightly news reminding our parents that they had children.

427-1

While 213 Republicans and all the Democrats too
Voted “Aye, let the people see what the devils do,”
“Nay!” Clay peeped, his voice small and afraid,
“These files stay sealed forever—or at least till I’m paid!

The Gun Boat Diplomacy to Bone-Saw Diplomacy pipeline.

Brunch in the Oval Office.
They toasted with Diet Coke and the finest of dates.
Melania brought finger sandwiches.

PSA: Cloudflare is taking a large dump at the moment, so lots of things on the web are also not having a good time.

Also if you use Cloudflare DNS it's flaky.

This is basically how LLMs (your “AI”) work.
Dreamed that the word “literally” was a shortening of the phrase “literary trickery” and its further shortening to “Lit’ry” was an example of—and I said this so confidently in the dream—something called “linguistic back frogging”

As far as I know literally all of this is nonsense

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin’ that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone’s tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A.
Look out kid
Don’t matter what you did
She’s lying, of course, but it is noteworthy that the feels like she has to lie and say these things. She’s a weathervane and this is a sign of the way the wind is blowing.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

This is not altered in any way. It was released by the William Clinton Presidential Library in 2016.

Dear Bill, we would be so good together. Would Hill go down on you in a theater?

REMEMBER: It doesn't matter if both parties consented. It is never okay for Bill Clinton to receive oral sex.
