Viktor fucking POS Orban steps down with more dignity after 16 years than our own home grown dictator wannabe did after 4. What a timeline to be alive in.

Okay, this is exactly the kind of malicious compliance that I can get behind. Fucking legends.

Owner shot from behind by their own shotgun due to negligent firearm storage. Dog didn't shoot shit.

This is almost as bad as thinking RATM was on their side. I say almost, but holy shit, how do you listen to one of their songs without comprehending or even thinking about a single line of the lyrics. Actual dementia

Okay, Trump suddenly acting amenable is somehow the most unsettling behavior that I can expect from him. Has a second (Third or fourth) stroke hit the white-house? Has the mounting pressure of the Epstein files finally broken him? Did three funny little ghosts visit him last night?

Stay tuned for the next episode of: "America's Future Hinges On The Whims of A Geriatric, Rapist Sociopath"

Reminder that this is a stealth mission. You're gonna want a stealthier animal than a chicken. Imagine crawling through the dark in tense silence, only to to given away by a loud BKAWK. Not even a hobbit could sneak further than Moria with that condition.

Furthermore; The One Ring's greatest limitation is that it cannot just sprout legs and run off. Even beings of higher intelligence can be bent and manipulated to the ring's will (IE its ultimate goal of returning to Sauron). Putting the thing on an animal sounds like the best opportunity one could give an evil, tangentially sentient piece of jewelry the option to pilot the poor creature like a meat-mech directly into Sauron's clutches at the first opportunity.

As an aside: the ring could not be worn by said animal, it would needs be lashed to it. Imagine keeping track of a chicken which is now invisible to normal people, and also lit up like a beacon to the eye of Sauron and his otherwise day-blind ring wraiths. Bad idea.

At the risk of asking a stupid question. Is this really going to help now that Trump has demonstrated that his DOJ has the power to remove criminal investigations from a local level and reassign them to a federal level? Where they will then (Of course) refuse to even investigate let alone prosecute. Is there some other way to seek accountability right now? Or do we literally have to wait for the next administration to do anything with all the evidence being recorded right now?

Nah, let's be honest. Immensely wealthy private companies foresee a potentially negative impact to profits if an event on the scale of the fucking Super Bowl is used as a dog and pony show/display of power by the current regime. Wealth is power, and when power talks, even authority listens.

God. I know it's the pettiest and least on-topic thing about these photos but... That god-damn weird-ass Trump centaur stance... At all times. Always. Centaur stance. I hope it's physically painful for him to stand like that. I hope it hurts every day that he has to get up and walk.

Okay, that's just plain ol', made up non-sense. No one in the USA walks

Duh

It actually is the most hilarious of ironies that despite what very real harm Thor might have inflicted upon the early stages of the movement through misinformation/mischaracterization; The fact is, I don't think this movement would have come near to exploding the way that it has recently if not for the perfect Rube Goldberg machine of drama surrounding this man in the past 6 months.

Seriously. He could not have Barbara Streisand effected the "Stop Killing Games" movement harder if he tried. It really is such poetic justice. It's a shame that I don't live in the EU or I would gladly sign the initiate myself. Here's to hoping that another EU regulation can have sweeping effects for the US. As a reluctant and very jaded US citizen myself, I harbor no illusions about any real and meaningful consumer protection regulations to ever make it over here. Mega-corpos have simply spent far too much money buying out every level of government, legislature, and regulatory bodies that exist.

Europe really is like a strange beacon of hope for US consumers, as odd as that sounds. Fight the good fight for us as well, brothers.

It should be added that, "Once a suspect requests a lawyer, police are generally required to stop questioning until an attorney is present. The Supreme Court case Edwards v. Arizona further strengthened this rule, holding that any attempt by law enforcement to continue questioning without an attorney present violates the suspect’s rights."

Once you ask for a lawyer questioning is 'suppose' to stop. If you're still alone and they keep prying. That's only more cause for concern.

Best I can do is a microwave and a banana.

Right, like, how "owning" a car means that you need to purchase the entire means of production required to produce said car, including all patents and trademarks.

This guy is somehow multi-rail drifting his pseudo-capitalist argument with like, a cartoon version of communism. It's like he dropped acid and decided to become Frankenstein's Economist.

Thank you for this clarification. This is an extremely important context. "Palestine Action" is the particular name of a very specific organization, so the title of the article is obviously a bit misleading.

Still very worrying and more than a bit concerning, though. Here's to hoping for a future strengthening of UK speech laws. Though, frankly, I'm not so sure about US speech laws anymore. Cheers.

A word of caution. There are more than a few examples of LEA getting away with murder when they shot people who carried objects that look much less like a gun/weapon than a leaf blower. Not saying it's right. Just saying it happens.

This boogie-man makes perfect sense when viewed through the lens of zero-sum thinking. They literally view helping other people as being detrimental to their own position because it means that the people "beneath" them are now less far beneath. This makes their position feel less lofty because we've raised the floor of human suffering, thereby making them feel less advantaged and less high above that floor of human suffering by comparison.

It's not even a meme to characterize them as saying, "the suffering is the point" when they support certain inherently evil consumerist practices. They literally think that way.

You can tell it's fiction because the ICE thug isn't wearing a mask.

Orange man obviously couldn't follow through on his "invade Greenland" distraction. Resorts to tearing shit down in his backyard instead like a kid who was banned from his neighborhood tree-house.

Ask him to host a public reading of the Epstein files in his new ballroom/hooker palace or whatever he's actually building once it's all done. Just to let him know that distraction #598 didn't work.

I'm sorry that a former rapper and gang-banger had to explain the concept of adoption to his grand-kid. Must have been traumatizing.
