My house was ding-dong-ditched this morning at 4am. That's just poor form. 10pm-12am is appropriate, even a bit funny on occasion. 4am is just mean. On a weeknight, no less.

First night in DC and I see this rat chowing down on a massive pile of vomit. Feels like there's a metaphor here for how senate Dems look while trying to sell the vote they're going to get on ACA subsidies as a win of some kind.

Pretty incredible that trump can just tear down part of the WH and it won't even register in conservative media. If Obama did this, the conservative conspiracies would have been wild. Secret mosque. Secret tunnels for blood rituals. Hannity would have made it a defining story of his presidency.

Just learned that prisoners in Kansas are required to work unless they have a medical exception or some other approved reason. If they work for the prison itself, they are paid $.09/hr. 9 cents. If they work for a private company, the prison takes a cut (25% iirc) for "room & board".

This is one of the darkest ways I've seen media censor content depicting this fascist/authoritarian push: it's apparently not joyful to show the American gestapo arresting journalists for doing journalism.
Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

If God created Adam first, why did he give Adam nipples? Or did he give Adam nipples after creating Eve so that Adam wouldn't feel left out? Any theologians out there, I'd appreciate some insight into this!
