  1. Read the CNBC story on United Healthcare being sued by its shareholders because, in the wake of the CEO’s killing…. “The group, which is seeking unspecified damages, argued that the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing “the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve” its earnings goals.” “Aggressive, anti-consumer tactics” aren’t just a thing we do, they are LITERALLY A LEGAL OBLIGATION. America is fully enshittened.
  2. Yeah….we live in a purely evil timeline. https://www.reddit.com/r/news/s/kdzrs6XHx8 A group of shareholders is suing United Healthcare over its reaction to the CEO’s killing. “The group, which is seeking unspecified damages, argued that the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing “the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve” its earnings goals.” Giant meteor…get here soon.
  3. Dude, there’s a huge difference between her “kids should eat healthy” and Michele Obama’s “kids should eat healthy.” You know what it is.
  4. Had a crawfish boil this Sunday. Leftover sausage and shrimp, and I also had some leftover Cajun grilled chicken I made for the philistines. What to do with that? Duh.
  5. The action of being mexican. Dude, some actions are unforgivable. And in MAGA land, "being mexican" is one of those things.

    The growing Catholic church in Africa would like a word. Seriously, it's easy to look at the Catholic church in Europe and the US and say that it's declining, and the church being retrograde is part of that. But it misses a LOT of the picture of the Church as a whole.
  7. Also....how did we not hone in on this earlier (or did I miss it)? He's the literal Blues Brother pope - he's from Chicago, and he's on a mission from God. Somebody needs to dispatch 4 fried chickens and a coke, and some dry white toast, to the Vatican, stat.
  8. I fucking love it. Let me re-state the core criticisms: 1) A man who was just selected to lead a GLOBAL religious body....does not ascribe to a political belief of "America first, America to the exclusion of everyone else." 2) A man who was just selected to lead a Christian denomination - literally the MOTHER Christian denomination - ascribes to ideas like those found in the first book of the New Testament, like "treat the stranger, immigrant, and prisoner, with kindness," and "show kindness to your enemies." Yes. Their criticisms are exactly as fucking stupid as they sound when you put them in plain english.
  9. This. We've got a pretty good litmus test of "if THESE are the people who hate him, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like him" going here. Loomer, Bannon, Vance, Icono....keep 'em coming.
  10. I'm waiting to see Lively's and Baldoni's takes on the new pope before I decide which team I'm on.
  11. Continuing the list of "if these are the people who hate him, I think I'm gonna like him." Keep 'em coming.
  12. Says me, after eating two McRibs on the way back from the coast after a long day of fishing.
  13. Please, on this holiest of days, the term is cavus gloriosus.
  14. Only because I was never trying to hook up with a hot girl who was attending such a service. My college-age libido took me places I wouldn't go with a gun today.
  15. Not saying that it WASN'T pulled out of someone's ass, but actually....City garbage trucks actually have internal scales to weigh how much trash they have on board. It's part of the regulatory requirements on landfills, recording daily volumes and such. It's not as accurate as an ag department certified grocery scale, but it's close enough to satisfy regulatory requirements. Now, someone STILL might be bullshitting you, because people do that shit. But odds are they had a pretty good idea from the readings on the trucks as they headed off to the landfill.
  16. Pope "Go Ursus! I" woulda been awesome.
  17. "Where does Jesus say I should love a random person off the streets?" I mean....in literally the first fucking book of the New Testament? I mean, it's not even a vague concept like "love" -- it's a literal and direct call to action. And does Jesus mean everyone, even your enemies, fall under that group? In BOTH sections, the greek word is "agape," which is an action word, not a feeling word. It's all one of the more maddening things about MAGA Christians: how on the one hand, they wave the banner of "I'M A CHRISTIAN!" more aggressively than anyone else, while running away, as fast as they can, from THE ACTUAL FUCKING SCRIPTURES THAT ARE THE DEFINING TEXTS ON BEING A CHRISTIAN. There's no lawyering around the commands, FROM JESUS, in Matthew. The word used is agape, and it has meaning. It's one they don't like. But tough fucking shit, y'all keep telling us the Bible is inerrant, right?
  18. People who hate this selection: Icono, Texags, JD Vance, Steve Bannon. Couldn't ask for a better litmus test than that. And we'll get the same screaming criticism -- "he should be religious, not political!" in response to taking Francis-like positions....utterly ignoring the facts that 1) social issues (like, maybe feed the poor, and shelter immigrants) have been religious issues and stances for the Church since....the fucking Gospel of Matthew was made canon in the 3rd-4th centuries, and 2) THEY are the people who stridently insist on making EVERY social issue political.
  19. I wish this was sarcasm....but it's 100% gospel truth. And honestly....they wouldn't be that off-target...it IS absurd and stupid and shameful. FFS, it's VE day, there are only two letters in it, and he got one of them wrong.
  20. If he issues a Papal Bull ordering Whataburger to add the JCB biscuit back to the menu full-time, no exceptions....he'll be a true keeper of the faith.
  21. An American pope. So, I presume we can expect: 1 - the new Popemobile will be a jacked-up F-250 (the truck nuts will be covered, in a nod to Catholic decency standards) 2 - communion wafers replaced with Cheetos 3 - an Applebee's inside the vatican walls 4 - an annual blessing of the Stock Cars before NASCAR season kicks off
  22. Yep. More "sitting on the sidelines while Holocausts happen" is one of the Church's best looks, it should definitely repeat it.
  23. Macklemore fawning over Pope Pius XII is chef's-kiss perfection.
  24. Dude....you'll get the new Trumplandia alternative bags, and you'll like it....
  25. Over-promise AND under-deliver? Elon says...
