The discourse over Kirk’s career is really hammering home how little the media and so many Dems understand the concept of lying or bad faith arguments.
An entire life dedicated to poisoning the well under the guise of ‘an exchange of ideas’ and nobody is capable of calling it out for what it was.

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter

i love a $20 cocktail. i think that if i was given a truly unlimited budget and let loose in a sushi restaurant at normal dinner level hungry i could very comfortably eat thru $200 before feeling stuffed. think this has also given me a kinda fucked idea of what a "expensive restaurant" is

after considering this for nearly fifteen seconds and looking at these four photos I am now convinced that bigfoot is bears
is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Reminder that we didn't win the similar long fight over seatbelt usage by gently persuading skeptical anti seatbelt people with empathetic outreach, or by having cops write tickets, but by having manufacturers make cars do a little annoying beep if you didn't wear it.
I don’t think his confirmation is inevitable but it’s not just about RFK because he represents a lot of people - MAHA isn’t going away if he’s rejected. If maximizing vaccine uptake is the ultimate goal (as it should be), is the best strategy to browbeat or build bridges? bsky.app/profile/dave...
And why are we starting with the assumption of his confirmation being inevitable?
