House Republicans want to rape your kids too.

Why don't all the rows have the same length? Did fewer people answer the question about newspapers than about banks?

Absence of awooga is not evidence of safety.

And that's our entry for "bad headline of the day", folks.

No, they were not ordered to serve out their sentence in a cartel-run ranch.

They were sentenced for their participation in running the ranch.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Are you trying to save human lives? Reduce suffering? Reduce some specific harm, such as from pandemics, or from severe weather due to climate change, or from trampling by elephant? Cure the specific disease that killed your great-aunt? Stomp Nazis?

If you say what you think is worth doing, people can point you to specific groups that are doing it.

Live with friends.

Harry Chapin's "What Made America Famous?" got an unsuccessful musical, but never a film. In a modern update, the song's "hippies" are instead gutter punks squatting an abandoned building, and the fat plumber is the one non-MAGA in the town's volunteer fire department.

Some people who voted for Trump have repented and joined the movement for democracy in America.

But also, there are serious doubts about the integrity of the 2024 elections and a nontrivial possibility that Trump didn't win the election.

Christian tradition teaches that we are the hands of God; that God gets things done in the world through the instrumentality of human action. When you do an act of kindness for your neighbor, you are instantiating God's kindness; when you defend your neighbor from harm or oppression, you are instantiating God's protection.

One of the big differences between Martin Luther King Jr.'s ideology of nonviolence and Mahatma Gandhi's ideology of nonviolence is that King accepted self-defense while Gandhi rejected it. Dr. King carried a pistol in his early career, and was later defended by armed bodyguards; while Gandhi rejected armed protection and called for oppressed people to surrender to their oppressors. So empirically, rejection of self-defense is less Christian and more Hindu.

Heterosexuality and homosexuality are subsets of allosexuality (sexual attraction and behavior towards others). Autosexual acts such as masturbation are not allosexual and so do not contribute to heterosexual or homosexual identity.

Example: A lesbian trans woman might masturbate using her penis, even though she has no attraction to penis-havers, just because she happens to be equipped with one.

Example: A heterosexual cis woman might masturbate using her vulva, even though she has no attraction to vulva-havers, just because she happens to be equipped with one.

That jerk drank all my beer!

Your body is not a life-support system for your mind. Rather, your mind is a guidance system for your body. Bodies were first; and developed minds to be better at doing body stuff.

I once worked in an office where the IT people would go around and zip-tie the cables to the furniture in the conference rooms, in ways that invariably led to the cables coming under tension and eventually fraying and breaking. (Especially some of the pricier laptop charging cables.)

I'd snip the offending zip-ties (selectively) when I noticed, but they went through a lot of expensive charging cables because someone thought slack cables looked messy.

few outside of Germany knew that concentration camps existed

The creation of concentration camps was widely advertised in Nazi propaganda, as a show of force to intimidate dissidents. It was the later death camps that were secret: the ones that were designed for no purpose but to do murder at industrial scale.

On the other hand, there are plenty of humans who like just about any dog more than they like other humans.

It's about Trump, dude. Not Trump as politician, but Trump as model for what a "successful" white dude looks like: a sleazebag who cheats on his wives, cheats at business, commits crime on top of crime, uses violence and threats to get his way, etc.

Young white boys need better role-models than Trump and Musk to look up to.

(It's also a parody of the racist shit people used to say about Black Americans and "bad role-models" like gangsta rappers.)

"Hallelujah" is a song about sex — but it's not dirty sex, it's holy sex.
