  1. YES. I called it all the way from Section 113. Dude has a full sleeper hold on our DL. No call, of course. Infuriating.
  2. This is like a modern day Comanche raid.
  3. Well that solves the mystery of where my inside source got their super secret info. But I can say that cops are still knocking on doors in that area, looking for any surveillance footage.
  4. Latest rumors I heard: the victim was alive when the fire department arrived; accelerant was detected on the scene; there was a knife near the body but no sign of trauma; the cops suspect the perpetrator knew the victim and picked the neighborhood at random; and the victim was last seen by her family the day before and, at that time, was going to get her phone fixed at the Apple Store. That’s all 3rd or 4th hand, so apply generous salt.
  5. I’d love to know how much mortgage interest he’s deducted from federal taxes over the years. The student loan furor isn’t about taxes. It’s an attack on education.

    Meritocracy

    I was talking about this the other day in the context of the Harvard affirmative action case. For centuries, Ivy League schools gave preference to wealthy elites. Until 1773, Harvard literally ranked students according to their family’s social status (not grades or other academic achievements). It was money and prestige that got you in the door. Hell even in the 20th Century, the school changed admissions policies specifically to exclude qualified Jewish applicants. Only after the Ivies started giving preference to a few applicants from downtrodden minorities every year did conservatives decide Ivy admissions should be purely meritocratic. But of course, their preferred merit yardsticks (the SAT; high school GPA; attendance at fancy prep schools; legacy status) are really measures of income and social status.
  7. I’m sorry he got whipped and had to carry a heavy cross and shit. But I have to work for a living while this dude is literally immortal and the only living heir to an omnipotent deity who owns the entire fucking universe. So yeah, I don’t want to hear about a couple of bad days Mr. Gets to Live Forever on Dad’s Bankroll had in Jerusalem like two thousand fucking years ago.
  8. No wonder she’s a felon. Her posts are full of capital offenses.
  9. “I’m a muscle daddy.” Mike B continues to prove that he’s just a roided up, unpleasant Tobias Fünke.
  10. NO JUDGE DREDD-O IN HILTON HEAD-O Oh wait. Wrong Carolina.
  11. I’m cracking up at the crumpled tin foil “stealth Faraday cage.” As if the government is using 5G to scan the country, looking for the characteristic radar cross section of half a tuna sandwich.
  12. My thought exactly. And a badass Dianno-era song, to boot.
  13. It’s apparently being investigated as a homicide.
  14. Woman found dead in Northwest Hills this morning.
  15. Tl;dr: Texans will likely all melt and/or freeze to death in the coming year because our terawatts are needed to power an electronic game of hot potato.
  16. “Talk to me, Geese.” - @Armybrat
  17. Gentlemen: it’s time to admit that our home state a giant fucking idiot.
  18. Well my spleen has been receiving spam calls thanks to the 5G-enabled Fauci ouchie. So how is this any different?
  19. AI thinks up some weird, weird shit.
  20. It’s always the same with these fucking fascists.
  21. The Venn diagram overlap between “people who think black kids should conform for the greater good by cutting their hair in a way that is acceptable to me” and “people who refused to wear a ‘face diaper’ or get the ‘death jab’” is a circle.
  22. Uh…
  23. For the life of me, I will never understand why y’all give Ana the benefit of the doubt. He knows none of us give a shit if Hunter is prosecuted. He is arguing in bad faith, like he always does, to create a bothsides straw man. His act is transparent and tired. Just ignore it.
  24. What a bummer for Mike B that his soul mate has a girlfriend with a penis.
