It's hilarious to me that conservatives now love Danica Patrick, whose name we know only because she was the biggest DEI hire in the history of sports.

Eh, I think it's fine to tell people who believe in nursery rhymes and fairtytales that depending on that nonsense isn't going to change a thing.

I missed that the Presidential Fitness Test was coming back, it's impossible to keep up with all the nonsense.
But this quote from the NYT story sends me...I think winning a race at ~7 years old is exactly what I'd expect a typical athlete to do. So you weren't a runner for your first 6 years?

I don't know Reds, maybe sometimes fans of other teams buy tickets to your games and are willing to take the survey?

Like, the GOP has been bereft of any value for at least the past 20 or so years, but the fawning over this wannabe dictator as our democracy dies is...it's just something else. It even undercuts my infinitesimal expectations for the GOP.

I know there are bigger questions for this political age we're in but still why the fuck to Trumpers love incandescent light bulbs so much? They just pick the dumbest hills.

I would say everyone can now mark the "Nazi salute" square on their bingo card but that was the free square already so.

It truly must be nice to be completely unaware of anything beyond the ringing in your ears for almost four years, then emerge, vote for the biggest imbecile you can find, then retreat into that vacuousness until the next time he blows his horn of stupidity to summon you.

While I'm not surprised TikTok's algorithm pushes down anti-China content, the headline of this study that it's specifically aimed at teenagers is hilarious, based on the idea that teenagers are searching for "Uyghurs" or "Tiananmen."

I just saw a Cracker Barrel ad for breaded fried turkey, and, why isn't that common? We do all kinds of things to make turkey edible -- why not follow the most popular chicken recipe?

I really only noticed the fringiness of the left after I got to this site. My theory is I stuck mostly to mainstream left political follows on the old site, but when I got here I needed to fill out the timeline with what I thought were like-minded people but man is it full of loonies.
I do my best to avoid direct dunking on bsky accounts because this is a nice place and I think we should keep it that way, but posts telling people to panic all the time about everything are a fucking insidious virus and the best thing to do is stomp them out with extreme prejudice
