What...so now I'm NOT supposed to read every post with the hashtag #Periander? I'll probably be sitting here all day because of you.

I don't understand why he was allowed to run in 2024 if he was still claiming that he had been elected twice.

Bananas.
Just astoudingly nuts.

Here's a law prof's take:

The university president's letter is bananas, and anyone who sends such a letter should not be running an academic institution. A thread. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

Yet compared to the main character in Scandal, she's wise as the Buddha.

Did no one at CBS consider monetizing the videos online?
Plenty of people would love to hear what Colbert has to say in the morning, or in the afternoon. Advertisments on CBS's website instead of YouTube would generate a ton of money, but no one is going to subscribe to Paramount Plus to watch it.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

Is there a reason I can't see what he wrote in the archives? Were those posts removed?

Congratulations!
Wish we'd had a chance to try to entice you to Marshall.

Can we stop pretending that the voters believed anything Trump said in the campaign? They didn't care about policies, or they would have questioned the tariffs. They just needed superficial reasons for rejecting the black candidate and/or the woman candidate.

That's really quite clever rhetorical technique:
Brush off the question and then slather bullshit all over the next 60 seconds so that there won't be a soundbite of the interviewer's reaction to the brush-off answer.

Come on, guys! It is essential that our elementary school kids learn that the Sabbath day must be kept holy. How are they supposed to learn morality if they don't acknowledge that there is only one god, the god of the ancient Israelites? This is *exactly* what our schools need. Not math and reading.

Maybe you should send notes like this to Kristi Noem each week to help her understand the basic concepts that she needs to know in order to do her job.

Is there a place trans healthcare is not abysmal? I don't know anyone anywhere who didn't have to wait years.

How do I ask Anonymous to get the list of donors to GiveSendGo's fundraiser for that Nazi playground mom in Minnesota?

I suspect that it's not just small donations from a bunch of racists, that some big donor racists wanted to see it make her rich.

Nothing silences worrisome thoughts like getting on a whaling ship.

I know what you're thinking: Whaling is bad. We should be protecting the whales.
But understand this: You don't need to kill the whales. You can use a whaling ship to watch them swim around happily.

Only because the idiots charged him with murder. If they had stuck to the charge of taking a gun into a situation illegally and causing it to escalate, he would have done jail time. He put himself in a situation requiring self-defense because he was hoping to shoot protesters. Don't defend him.
