Controversial opinion: it’s actually embarrassing we still have plantations. Every plantation should’ve burned down during the Reconstruction.

If kidnapped, what would you post that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help?
"no no, don't get the chicken thighs, what you want is skinless chicken breast"

Is it possible to cover Stairway to Heaven in an original way? I think Frank Zappa came closest on the live version that ended up being released on The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life. The way the horns play Page's guitar solo is so entertaining in that 80s bar band blooze way.

My favorite Weird Al parody of an artists' style (as opposed to a particular song) is his Frank Zappa mockery in "Genius in France." It's so precise! The Devo parody "Dare to Be Stupid" is maybe a close second.

785/1000 The Honey Drippers, "Impeach the President" - Even if you don't recognize the song, you'll recognize the drum beat, which countless MCs have rapped over. It's amazing how many relatively obscure 70s funk songs got a second life as sample fodder in the 80s and beyond. #brodystoprock1000

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

"A Big Beautiful Bill." Ignoring grammar for a second, the maturity level alone is enough to not be taken seriously by the rest of the world.

I ordered some GF beer direct from the brewery, and the order comes in two boxes. So, obviously, parcelforce have decided that the most efficient method of delivery is to split it into two deliveries, both of which are due in the next hour.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.
BREAKING: The FDA has officially announced they will be banning artificial dyes in the food supply by the end of 2026
This includes Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3
