Within 48 hours: my son's friend was abducted on the way to school (she's safe now), a teenager from the dojang where the kids train died in a horrific car accident, and the father of one of my BIL's friends was murdered by his son-in-law. This is all within the same three miles.

I read something insanely triggering and I hate that I'm like this because now there's an ice pick in my chest.

Real question: has anyone used one of these to trim their dog's nails? It seems like both a good idea and a disasterous one. But I'm trying not to sedate my dog into full zombie mode.

Refer to vaccinations as "business continuity plans" in order to give it a capitalist spin.

Trump is extending a ceasefire even though Iran says they aren't actually talking to him and the strait of hormuz is, as usual, both opened and closed depending on whether you're asking during an even numbered hour. I think. It all sounds plausible.

The case is that Repubs are probably going to run Dan Cox again, an awful candidate who remains a staunch Trump mouthpiece in a solid blue state. Ten years ago, Democrats voted for Larry Hogan because he was moderate (by GOP standards at the time). Cox will flip absolutely zero voters. Again.

Semi-earnest question: Isn't a Catholic who disagrees with the Pope's doctrine just... Protestant?

Trump's policy to control avian influenza was for RFK Jr. to cancel a nearly six hundred million dollar contract with Moderna to develop an H5N1 vaccine because it was mRNA-based. His avian flu "policies" are just price control measures, not disease control measures.

Even the meal delivery services mock the US.
A screenshot of a Facebook post from the meal delivery service HelloFresh. It reads:

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
We considered dropping off a HelloFresh box at a very famous house (painted white)...but we didn't want to overwhelm anyone with 'step 1: preheat oven.'

You never know when an angry Pope is going to train Bigfoot to be their assassin, just saying.
A still from the animated television show "Rick and Morty" in an episode where Rick fights an evil Pope. In this still, the Pope is levitating and making a threatening face.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Also systemic racism and pathetic as hell gun laws but mostly because POPE LEO IS WEAK ON NUCLEAR.

Oh thank god, my homework writes its own conclusion now. The gun homicide rate in Tennessee is 50% higher than the overall US rate because POPE LEO IS WEAK ON CRIME.

My son has taken karate for six years, my daughter for two. One of the first things they learned is how to deflect a punch in a way that throws the assailant off balance and then pushing them to the ground. It's an easy, effective way to buy yourself time to either prepare for more or run away.

I suppose in full transparency, I did not see him at Flamers. But now I'm suspicious it was his fault the hospital stopped selling Coke Zero and took the Mike & Ikes out of the vending machines. Yes that was 7 years ago. Yes I'm still mad. DAMN YOU MAKARY.

Apropos of nothing, I was never friends with Red Skull and we only met a few times but that's because the socialite scene on Vormir is quite small.
