I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet.

Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀

How is it progress to have to do every Google search twice with the 2nd one admitting that I'm correct in what I asked and they answered incorrectly before with responses? I'm about to become a luddite.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.
Shooters were dressed like law enforcement and this is exactly why I’m pissed about ice officers wearing masks, driving unmarked cars and not being identifiable when they terrorize communities

This article is too nice to Jennings who is nothing more than a soulless greedy man who tied himself to soulless greedy men a long, long time before trump arrived on the political scene.
"Everything about Trumpism is fascism in the hyperreal: reality television distortion plastered into a living set, and the imitation and modeling of power, grandeur, and state terror funneled through an Instagram filter."

Here's what I don't understand in the AI world. These essays will likely be written by AI and most certainly judged by AI, so why? What will you have proven about someone's patriotism or loyalty to trump?

Do not know why I started my day watching this. Stomach hurts, I'm crying and Holy cow those are insane
Growing up in Ireland means being traumatized by road safety ads. Filmmakers strive to outdo each other in leaving their generation emotionally scarred.

These two Americans sat down to watch TWENTY-THREE ADS IN A ROW. The poor fools.

The Canadian election result shows that the 2024 US election might have gone very differently if American voters could somehow have known in advance what it would be like to have Donald Trump as president
