This won't happen but it would be incredibly funny if the Canadian part of NORAD refused to work on the yearly Santa tracker thing by citing intelligence sharing risks

Just gonna note that the Apostle Peter cut a stooge's ear off for running up on him and the boys while they were praying.

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

I genuinely think that evangelical Christianity becoming Like This is largely the result of a theological system that removes essentially all accountability for one's actions as soon as one becomes "saved". If one's conduct towards others no longer matters, it becomes much easier to justify Trump.
not to sound like a fundamentalist here but you ever wonder if these people ever imagine standing before the Divine and justifying their actions
I suspect the line about cars, e bikes, &c points not just to attacking people applying from temporary work visas, but more generally to a future migration crisis stemming from a major European war.

I think it’s one of the understudied aspects of the war that Russia and Ukraine are simultaneously running two of the most intense strategic bombing campaigns we’ve seen in the 21st century against one another, usually it’s one actor doing the vast majority of the bombing

The only craft docked at Tiangong space station has been damaged and “does not meet the release conditions for a safe manned return.”

When people who don't watch wrestling throw around terms like kayfabe and say politics is like wrestling they forget the most wrestling thing is when you work yourself into a shoot and get really mad about something.
Knowing the key to understanding right-wing politics in the US is understanding wrestling, they see government as kayfabe, I will ask my more wrestling-adjacent friends if this MTG/Trump break is a face turn by MTG (still a racist anti-semite, don't get me wrong) or a false break like Musk/Trump.

If war is a continuation of politics by other means and our politics are incredibly stupid and incoherent then our wars should be too. That's just theory.
The Trump administration is rapidly escalating its pressure campaign against Venezuela, even as President Trump’s aides provide conflicting accounts of what, exactly, they are seeking to achieve. nyti.ms/49nV4PY
