“It’s 100% natural!” “So is arsenic.” …

When I see “without chemicals” I just assume it’s shorthand for “without known harmful chemicals, probably” until I carefully read the label and learn more

This headline is fantastic for Mamdani, plus serves as yet another example of Trump shooting himself in the foot. I want to put it on a billboard.

Lawyers can be remarkably polite and professional when they want to be. Sometimes, they also have a sense of humor that’s as dry as the Sahara. I love it.

Edit: duplicated a word

So, at best, we can expect Republicans to act with the same urgency and effectiveness that they showed when fighting AIDS in the 80s. Great.

I’ve always enjoyed how God is simultaneously portrayed as all-powerful and all-knowing, yet extremely fragile and petty. There’s the “wrong” kind of relationship, heavy metal, now fluoride, and the list goes on.

WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE STILL EXPECTING THIS GARBAGE TO WORK? Tesla’s “full self driving” crashes have been widely covered. Is it simple ignorance? Are they not aware of the news? Is it stubbornness? Laziness? Thinking that “it won’t happen to me”? Do they sincerely believe Musk’s lies?

I know that victim blaming isn’t the answer, and that’s not what I’m doing. I just want to know what’s going on in their heads.

They have their flaws, but I’ve always liked the Associated Press. I’m glad they’re not knuckling under.

Almost certainly loaded with tear gas canisters.

I think it’s funny because it’s extremely arrogant of people to assume that Allah needs the defense of puny humans.

Not motivated to click? No problem.

Ibtissame Lachgar was sentenced to 30 months in prison last month after posting online a picture of herself wearing a T-shirt with the word ‘Allah’ in Arabic followed by ‘is lesbian.’

My sympathies

If you can find an independent pharmacy in your area, then by all means, switch.

I need to take prescription meds every day, so I deal with the pharmacy more than I want to. My hatred of chain pharmacies runs deep. In my case, the independent one is a little further, but it ultimately saves me time and frustration. The staff KNOWS me and what I take. I can’t tell you how valuable that can be. When I call, the pharmacist recognizes my voice ffs

Even if he is removed under the 25th amendment, MAGAts would never allow themselves to forget it. To them, it would be infinitely worse than 9/11. They’d smugly remove everyone they didn’t like from office (which they’re already doing, but this would be much faster and much harsher). Everyone involved would lose their jobs, and possibly be sent to prison. Their replacements (if MAGA decides they need to be replaced, anyway) would be forced to sign a loyalty oath to President Vance.

We Americans need to understand that our democracy has failed us. We could have stopped him when he tried to overthrow the government the first time. We could have legally prevented him from running for a second term. Too many of our leaders are cowards, though, so now we’re facing the consequences.

“Dr EJ Antoni is a brilliant economist…”

Yes, he actually has a doctorate in economics. I was hoping it would be something irrelevant and amusing. Oh well. He still sounds like a turd.

Thank you for the clarification

Edited: the commenter I was responding to was wrong, and I didn’t fact-check, either.

I agree, but I can also see it from the “why bother” angle. If a federal lawsuit can get appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, then Trump will almost certainly win anyway. Theater is much cheaper and quicker.

Again, though, you’re right.

But it’s only an issue in the news because it has become a political fight and it should not be one.

Like religion, or medicine?

Still, as much as I dislike her, I appreciate that she’s taking a stand on this issue.

A plurality of voters (47 percent) think supporting Israel is in the national interest of the United States…

WHY? Since Netanyahu went on his rampage, I just don’t think it’s worth the trouble anymore. Protecting a perceived underdog is one thing. Protecting a bully is something else entirely. Netanyahu has become a bully.

IIRC, they’re insanely fast. I think the turnaround time on a South Park episode is about one week, which is utterly ridiculous.

I don’t know if that Kirk episode will ever see the light of day, or if they’ll make any jokes about Kirk at all, especially while the Cheeto is in power. He’s repeatedly shown that he’s not afraid to abuse his authority.

I’m a fan of barely-restrained snark. That closing sentence is a great example.
