This is why, when President Slurs McSundown passes away, it's going to be a battle royale as all these selfish grifters shank each other before the funeral is over.
see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

One of the reasons it's become increasingly difficult to write In Golden Flame Act 2 is that the intentionally absurd acts of capitalist and colonialist evil that I wrote in Act 1 back in 2022 now look sensible in comparison to the real article

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.
This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.

As a pornographer myself, I feel... weird about creators who make distinctions between porn and other adult/sexual content. If you defend porn, your work will ALSO be defended. Don't be afraid to get down in the mud with us. You're gonna end up here anyway.
there is plenty of sexual content on steam. the problem isn't that valve is denying sexual content (though, as a near-monopoly, that would also be a problem) it's that valve is denying specifically sexual content that is non-pornographic, most notably in the horror genre.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Doesn't take a genius to beat Trump when he's not on the ballot, and his policies annoy most of the country.
But with Jeffries's comments on Cuellar, the border, & his "No Ceiling" slogan, only a donor could love, he could lead Democrats into a UK Labour nosedive.
He's talking to the wrong people.

By the way, same trick as last time with these so-called HSAs. Last week, Trump was saying he’d take all the money spent on health care and “send it to families.” (Which BTW means zero “savings.”)
Already this week, Marshall says it’s “some” of the money.
Oh, plus this doesn’t actually work.
