Author of Texas bill to ban 'furries' in schools cannot come up with examples of it happening
To be clear, cat litter buckets in classrooms is a real thing in some schools but only to use in active shooter lockdowns if needed. When a classroom of kids is trapped for hours, someone will need to poop, and they’re going to want to cover up it and not smell it the whole time. So unfortunately there’s a perfectly valid reason for kids to poop in litter buckets at schools that these conspiracists, who are probably the same nutjobs who think school shootings are fake, are twisting into furry accommodation.

The skill it must have taken to pull this off

No, that bollard didn’t budge. She backed into it fast enough to shoot the SUV straight up the bollard, it clears the bumper, and BAM! — the SUV dropped down on the bollard. That bumper should have crumpled, but it was rugged and rounded enough to deflect the impact downward or, equal and opposite reaction, send the vehicle upward. Traffic bollards are still tough enough to stand up to SUVs, but not tall enough to be seen by the drivers.

Late Bloomer
I blame the parents. That baby broke a table leg with his head, and his dad is like, “maybe he’s just a late bloomer.” No, dude, that’s an undiagnosed concussion inflicted on a soft skulled baby — that’s brain damage.

'Separated from reality': Trump said to be struggling to come to grips that he may lose
Again. He may lose again. He lost the popular vote twice. He will definitely lose it a third time, and he may lose the election again. “Again” needs to be emphasized because he’s going to keep trying and we must make sure he loses again.

Trump making an example of disloyal ex-allies as a warning to his new crew: report
Yeah, it’s weird to call this a “warning” after he already sent a mob after Pence, and then pardoned the entire mob. Seems like we’re well past warnings at this point.

19-year-old killed while cleaning industrial meat grinder in Vernon, California
“Both incidents occurred in California, which despite its immense wealth and resources ranks second only to Texas in the number of workplace fatalities in the United States.” — As the most populous state, California should logically have the highest number of workplace fatalities. That they come in second after Texas, despite having 20-25% higher population, indicates they have far fewer workplace fatalities per capita.

Double-blind review masks the author’s identity, including self-citations that would identify the author. The author may have done this too effectively, and/or the reviewer was not as familiar with the author’s work as the critique would imply.

I’m old enough to remember when that was every day. Now we gotta wait for Don-old to kick the bucket (from natural causes, obviously) to bring those days back.

Trump Says He's Done Debating: 'THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!'
I do appreciate that he claims losers demand rematches without acknowledging that he is in a rematch after he lost 2020. Meanwhile, his wingman says celebrity billionaires should stay out of politics. Not a shred of self-awareness.
