As I see it, the fundamental cognitive dissonance faced by hardcore social conservatives is:
while they understand that 1st Amendment "free speech" means they can spout whatever intolerant hateful racist bullshit they like in public, they think that *also* means they can't be ridiculed for it.

Shitter thought for Today:

It's really worrisome to me that all the American conservatives I've met seem to believe that crimes against property are somehow *always* worse than crimes against people.

You know, people - like, actual fucking HUMAN BEINGS

Why do people support dictators? How do dictators come to power? We teamed up with history professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat to answer the internet's burning questions about authoritarianism and fascism.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, and with the understanding that I am an olde white dude currently fighting leukemia:

Antifa,

If I were an Englishman I like to think I'd be a Londoner, but if I'm honest, I'd probably be a Yorkshireman.

And there's now't wrong wi' that!

How about an actual computer hardware post (I am an IT dude after all): as if 2024 couldn't get weirder, I find myself looking forward to the new video cards from...

Intel?!

...I mean seriously, wtf?
