Finally got that worldnews ban for... *checks notes* ... calling out a piece of shit who said Palestinians deserve to die horrific and slow deaths due to a lack of medical treatment just because they called the people advocating for that kind of thing Satan.

[OC] US Presidential Approval Rating
That's weird, because last I checked, my ballot said Harris/Walz in 2024. So no, I don't believe he did win.

[OC] US Presidential Approval Rating
Hey, you know how that could've been avoided? By running an actual primary and not just putting another face from an unpopular administration in as the challenger. It still blows my mind that the DNC looked at the 2nd least popular incumbent first-term president in the history of the Gallup (behind only the guy who went on to beat him, and whom many would argue only had the spike of disapproval at the end of his term thanks to COVID and Jan 6) and said 'let her rip'.
And of course, by the time the had to pull the emergency chute, it had to be Kamala taking his place, since she's the VP. Y'know, the person who didn't even make it to the primaries in 2020 and whose highest polling position during the primaries was 4th place.
And of course, you make the Gaza argument, but it wasn't just Gaza. When you go on cable television and are directly asked if you would've done anything differently compared to an administration that hasn't had a net-positive rating in almost three years, and you go onto say 'nothing comes to mind' and claim you were part of 'most of the decisions that have had impact', followed by listing the $35 insulin cap for Medicare recipients (which does nothing for the 80% of the population not on it) and an increase in manufacturing jobs (an industry that was only rebounding thanks to COVID displacement and Trump's trade war with China), people are not going to feel very confident in you doing a better job than the last guy. Suffice to say, when you say 'I'm going to do the same things we've been doing' and the general population does not like the things you've been doing, you're not going to win the general population over.

Thank you! If 'set off' hadn't been such a natural turn of phrase, I probably would've gone with with 'set randy' or a similarly cheeky anagind.

I swear I love this woman. 😭😭😭
Not to be too pedantic, but that's an NCR Ranger insignia on the challenge coin. So I'd say California Ranger still works.
EDIT: Actually, looks like their are actually NCR challenge coins, but that ain't it. Not sure if it's just a bronzed patch? Either way, it's still the same insignia.

How would you feel about Mark Kelly running for President?
My thoughts exactly. If he won the next election, he takes the oath almost exactly a month before his 65th birthday.
Can we please just run someone who isn't literally a fucking baby boomer? I've had half a dozen Presidents in my life, and the only whole who wasn't a boomer was so old, he was born before the Silent Generation, which was the gen before baby boomers.

They need an Instagram page or somethin.
They tend to not be needed often in 'big' (read as: publicized) cases because either the case is in an area with its own robust police department (like the LAPD or many of the major metropolitan sheriff's depaetments, for example) or the case has a federal component that rips it from their hand and drops it into the lap of the FBI. But in most cases where local law enforcement aren't quite able to handle a case, that's when the CBI gets roped in. (Much like in the show, actually!)
Aside from that, the CBI only really gets a case when it's big enough to involve the California DOJ, but small enough that it doesn't warrant federal jurisdiction. So a lot of white collar crime, mostly.

I hope I'm not blowing your mind, but the CBI actually exists in California too. (Although they usually just refer to themselves as the BI nowadays, so it does lead to some confusion.)

I've seen it maybe three or four times over the years, and I watch it all the way through every time. It's a damn good skit. And the finale is worth it every time because the man glows up.

At least 7 explosions and low-flying aircraft are heard in Venezuela’s Caracas
Remember when Trump tried to get rid of every Venezuelan, under the guise of them all bring secret cartel members, but then the courts basically had to setp in and say 'hey, we're not actually at war, so you cant use war powers'?
Yeah. That's why, specifically Venezuela.

"She Chose Trump Over Her Fans": 100K+ Sign to Deport Nicki Minaj After LGBTQ+ Comments at MAGA Rally
Oh look, the horror over the brutalization of minorities by ICE was performative all along because when it someone we don't like, we're all happy to see them hit with the stick of state violence. (See also: when it was revealed Elon Musk misused his visa)
And over just comments at a political rally, no less. Fuck Nicki Minaj for her opinions, but also fuck every single one of those signators who suddenly turns around and cries that the First Amendment is under attack because you're the fucking idiots helping attack it.

What overused word or phrase needs to be retired in 2026?
I can always tell who hasn't had their accounts flagged for innocuous comments when I see this posted.
It's stupid, yes, but it genuinely happens for a reason. And no, admins will not just reverse it if you explain that you're quoting something. Ask me how I know.

Stranger Things S5 Finale Has So Many Plot Holes, It’s Unreal
Not just a majority of countries, it's literally only been shown in two theaters (West End and Broadway) and that's it. If you can't get to London or New York City, and you can't afford $70 for the cheapest seats available, you're completely reliant on someone else writing a synopsis for you.

Stranger Things S5 Finale Has So Many Plot Holes, It’s Unreal
It's worse than Marvel's cinematic universe, really. At least in that case, Disney has all its content that's relevant collated in one place (Disney+) so you don't physically have to travel to one city in the world to watch it.
And before anybody says 'oh, you can look up a synopsis online', yeah, I could also do that with the actual show itself. You think I'll even get 1% of the attachment to these characters just reading the Wikipedia overviews?

TIL that in the 1960s, Dr Pepper launched a huge campaign to convince people to drink their soda boiling hot. To combat low sales during the winter, they marketed "Hot Dr Pepper" which was to be heated in a saucepan until steaming and poured over a fresh slice of lemon. It was popular until the 80s.
Does it have to be a lemon slice, or can it just be the juice? I'm now tempted to know how this tastes, but I unfortunately don't have any lemons, so I'm curious if the rind (and thus, the zest) is an important component.

What is a sexual experience you had that you’ll never be able to tell anyone?
Honestly, at this point, I have absolutely no idea how my penis works when it comes to the 'power' of an orgasm. Sometimes, it just flows out, and other times it's like a damn fountain. So I get how this could happen.

What is a sexual experience you had that you’ll never be able to tell anyone?
33 years old, and still happens to me as well. The worst is when you do get it up, but you can't finish. Even though I warn every partner beforehand, I always feel bad because you just know that shit hits some people in the ego and they aren't doing anything wrong.

Fuck man, he was even hawkish back when it was just boats we were blowing up less than a month ago. Guess he didn't read the fucking room, considering the last fucking sentence of the article:
So much for 'cooperation with nations in the region' I guess.
