Because of course they did.

Nonsense, he will get steady work alongside Kevin Sorbo!

Season six of Community 'aired' there.

I'm still pissed at NBC for selling "Six Seasons and a Movie" merchandise and then canceling after season five.

(And the movie is still coming.)

Until there are some kind of real penalties for submitting unconstitutional legislation, we will not be able to stop these clowns from abusing our state legislatures.

He was an antivax conspiracy theorist who was convinced there was no Trump/Russia connection.

Actually the thought is if the government can just imprison you to stop your candidacy, they have too much power.

Thus they can continue to run.

She will be.

I'm increasingly confident about a blue wave this election. First multiracial female president in a time when bodily autonomy is under attack.

And that's all without taking into account who and what she is running against.

I have never been a Facebook user so I'm mostly guessing.

But I think there was a heyday where people spent a great deal of time on there.

Now they don't. They just log on when it's needed to get ahold of someone or check a specific niche community.

Thus it's dying because the ad revenue is way down. It's in decline not because it lacks users, but because they no longer spend hours there.

Fuck you, Manchin. Burn in the deepest pit of whatever hell you believe in. You know you've earned it.

And they were there because the energy use of the MRI made them suspect it was a pot farm... in a legal state.

Kevin Spacey, Woody Harrelson, Rob Schneider, Jeremy Piven, Russell Brand, Bobby Lee, and Tony Robbins are all pitching in for RFK.

It's a veritable 'Who's Who?' of 'Him? Really?'

And preferably, name someone who has announced their candidacy.

A list of people you'd like in the job isn't as relevant. I would've accepted almost any of the names people had floated, had any of them publicly shown interest.

But here we are with people often demanding Jon Stewart and Michelle Obama throw their hats in the ring, and that's two people who keep saying they aren't interested.

Edit: the shit people downvote here.

So DEI now just means the job went to a non-white, non-GOP, not-male person.

Convenient.

If the company tells the union to fuck off, all of the workers who belong to that union walk off the job and the employer has to run short handed or shut down production.

The union is the workers joining together so that they have more bargaining power - all the people who know how the business works are sitting idle. Can the business afford to replace and retrain them all?

Sure, but a corrupt government can fabricate evidence to keep their enemies silenced.

Look at Russia and their treatment of Alexei Navalny.

This is why we have no honesty in politics.

For fucks sake. He's trying to do everything he can to alert the country their democracy is in grave danger to the point of admitting he wouldn't still be there if he didn't think he had the best chance of stopping Trump.

And at the sidelines we have endless hand-wringing about his age and calls for a better candidate.

THEY ARENT STEPPING UP BECAUSE THEY AGREE BIDEN HAS THE BEST CHANCE.

Everyone complains the Democrats suck at messaging and then bitch about everything they say and do, even when it's honest, straightforward, and easy to understand.

I do wonder how a Kamala Harris / AOC ticket would go.

Probably not well given how racist and misogynistic this country is. But it would energize many people.

If he wants supervised early release from prison, this doesn't seem terribly out of line.

It's not like this is a part of his sentence, it's a part of him trying to reduce his sentence.

Heard of rather than seen it.

My dad started a rumor that a coworker kept jello in her desk. Just mentioned it from time to time and let it be. Time goes by...

One Monday morning he goes in early and reignites the rumor.

When the coworker arrives there's a crowd outside her office. She's annoyed and throws open all her desk drawers to prove her innocence... and finds her file drawer full of lime jello, one unpeeled banana in the middle.

If I recall right she laughed until she peed herself.

The drawer was large enough it took my Dad most of Saturday to fill it. And most of the space in our fridge.

Edit: There was also a time my dad and I rented a small trailer and took some stuff to the dump.

I always loved this as we would look around and see if there was anything worth scavenging and bringing home.

But no, nothing interesting.

On the way home I turn to my Dad and say "Let's tell mom and sis we found a moose head."

They believed us, we go out to the trailer and I'm opening it slowly to reveal that it's empty... and a prior renter had spilled some red paint in the bottom.

My sister screams "IT'S STILL BLEEDING" and runs inside.

I could've never predicted it would go that well. I'd of course meant a mounted moose head. And this was in Florida, where I'm fairly sure there are no 'fresh' moose.

Edit 2:

Thought of one more.

My sister and I are at karate class and my parents pick us up. They got donuts while waiting for us.

When we get home, the dog had taken a crap out on the patio. My dad goes to clean it up and yells "he got into his eye medication! It's all slimy."

We go and look and sure enough it's covered in whitish crud.

My dad picks it up.

"Looks like dog shit."

sniff

"Smells like dog shit."

takes a bite

"Tastes like dog shit."

My sister and I screamed and ran to our rooms as my dad ate his glazed chocolate doughnut, laughing his ass off.

All these pranks were within a year of each other.

We are not ready for AI shenanigans. This wasn't even that, much easier to throw together for rage points.

There were three women who were best friends, took their breaks together, etc. And in the Christmas season they wore matching knit sweaters and would walk down the hall side by side so it would read "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

But one day when I was leaving the break room, they approached... and one was out sick. Before I could stop myself I asked "Where's the other Ho?"

Might've gotten a visit to HR from it if I hadn't looked so shocked at myself.

Since nobody else posted the context, regarding Doug Emhoff:

'"He's a crappy Jew," said host Sid Rosenberg. "He's a horrible Jew."

And Trump agreed.'

I think this may lose him a few supporters, but still, it's Trump.

The article is the headline, for anyone reluctant to click. There's literally no more info given. Not even more words. This comment is longer.

No, this is big. Someone committed to the cause looked at the evidence and reconsidered her opinion.

This can be useful to get through to some that they have been manipulated, that they have been made terrified of education for unfounded reasons.

Anyone converted away is a win, even if not statisically significant.

Burnout, stress, depression, overwhelmed, any number of things could be going on.

Talk to your professors and an advisor, see what resources they have for you.

But also understand this says NOTHING bad about you, and in fact recognizing you are struggling and need help is a good sign.

Outright fucking sociopath.

My vet tech wife believes you're correct, a cyst or blocked gland and nothing to worry about. Keep an eye on it to be safe. Def not a tick.

Biden knows this government like few others do. If any other Dem candidate were in that office, I'd still want him there consulting during any attempt to overthrow things.

He's sharper than most think. He probably knows the first names of those in charge of almost all levers of power, and probably their spouses and children as well. (Recalling them on the spot, well... let's say I'd probably fail too.)

He has the support of Sanders. And me. I consider myself a progressive.

Of course he doesn't. Fucking fascists.

Equal protection under the law!

It's deeper and more dangerous than that.

The childless cat ladies are now the 'others', outsiders to the in group and free to be attacked.

To the right wing if you are a woman who isn't 'breedable' then you're in league with the enemy.

That means disabled, gay, asexual, mentally unbalanced, liberal, and thoroughly un-American.

You know... fascism.

So I assume this attack was reported by the perpetrators, as spam on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit are far far worse problems.

And people mocked Jack Black for canceling his tour.

You can't put on a good performance while also putting your audience in danger.

These people need to be locked the fuck up for death threats. It's very, very simple.

I've had a bidet for years, before covid even. It really is a game changer. You'd be surprised how much more clean you feel.

They have relatively cheap and easy to install ones that just go under your toilet seat and connect to the toilet's water supply. That's what I use.

Which is the whole point of having Bill Maher as a host, similar to Joe Rogan.

He will accept what you say at face value for his audience and be surprised after the fact that he was 'duped'.

If your society has made so many things illegal that your prisons are overflowing, it's time to seriously reconsider your priorities.

If only the US would follow a similar path.

So if these properties are seized and mortgaged to the hilt, he's still responsible for the balance owed, isn't he?

Ahahahahahaha!
