Current Wikipedia entry for the former prosecutor and Senator from Missouri: Accessed at 11:58 AM CDT, September 29, 2026 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Sc...

Eric Stephen Schmitt[1] (born June 20, 1975) is an American attorney and politician and professional clown, serving since 2023 as the junior United States senator from Missouri. A member of the Republican Party, Schmitt served as the 46th state treasurer of Missouri from 2017 to 2019 and as the 43rd Missouri attorney general from 2019 to 2023. Most recently he made complete fool of himself accusing Jack Smith of something Jack didn't do. Often seen without his makeup, he is a master clown and professional liar.

As this ep delves into Galton’s love of determining personal behaviors and characteristics as inherent through photography, I present on the left how Sir Francis perceived himself, and on the right how every one of his eugenic sentiments or actions sounds in my mind (Sir Digby Chicken Caesar).

Also, I see Marx but no Engels. Again, just genius level inquiry…

Charlie Kirk sits in a chair whose back reads “Prove Me Wrong”, facing away from the viewer and looking toward the gates of heaven out of which stream many historical figures, monsters and others, but mostly one associated with Communism and Hitler, too, and maybe a Greek philosopher and Jesus? At least 2 Che Guevaras. Above them a legend says “Never Stop Debating”, to the left Ted Danson as Michael from The Good Place, smiling broadly and as we know mischievously, implying this may not be the Good Place we’re seeing.

I’ve been getting spam texts full of culture war BS on behalf of seditionist Tom Tiffany from Restoration of America front group Catholic Engagement PAC. I don’t believe in shaming people for looks, but of course their National Outreach Coordinator is this guy.

Screenshot of search results for “Catholic Engagement PAC” with results for a LinkedIn for “Jackson McKechnie - National, Outreach Coordinator
Currently serving as the National Outreach Coordinator for Catholic Engagement PAC, leading nationwide outreach initiatives, building strategic...”and a second for a Reddit post for “Catholic voter text spam :
r/wisconsin
Catholic Engagement PAC, whose only donor, in their FEC filings, is Restoration of America PAC. They are a Florida based PAC primarily funded...”

The image results for “Catholic Engagement PAC”, the first for “Jackson McKechnie - National Engagement Coordinator” shows a 20 something white boy in a gray suit, white collar shirt and light blue tie standing on the steps of the Capitol. Of course he looks like a child and has a broccoli top haircut like the standard DOGE ghoul.

In these trying times, may I also offer this eagle perched out in the yard yesterday morning? Not for any eagle flag emoji nonsense, but just because it’s a big pretty bird with a surprisingly seagullish squawk who came to visit just because on its way to the marsh?

Against a gray sky, an adult bald eagle perches atop a dead tree trunk on a turnaround in a gravel driveway on a Wisconsin farm with green soybean fields behind.

How could one even conceive of a brilliant, daring composition like LoBaido’s “Forever”?

Scott LoBaido’s painting “Forever,” a huge portrait of a rippling, twisting American flag filling about 1/3 of the canvas against a featureless sunset color gradient sky.

It’s as if someone looked at the most common design of the Forever stamps of the last decade and said, “What if I did that, but bigger and in a less attractive pose so you can’t really see the star field and with ripples you *think* should suggest shapes of something else, but, no, they’re just big ripples in a flag?”

No, no, there’s no way those people just chose not to understand the interconnectivity of it all. They probably just always held their map of western Asia with their thumb covering the entirety of Iran but not the Caspian, so NOW when they went to look they moved it and realized their oversight.

See? My thumb easily obscures Iran on the map, and thus my knowledge of their connections and support of Russia’s Ukraine invasion.

Oh, no! The blinding light of knowledge that was always there when I moved my thumb.

Am I supposed to feel bad that an account I blocked (probably when I saw it post some pro gen-AI and pro-crypto content) blocked me back (saw my action through @listifications.app) and added me to a list? I think other than that list part, it’s just the system working? I’ll ask my brainworms.

so my eyes are always wide open for weird new things I never saw before. (I also got a The President and The King mug there which I use regularly because, I mean, COME ON, you can look at it endlessly and still wonder just HOW we came here as a people with these people.)

Tried it with a slice of raspberry fruit leather (couldn’t find blueberry and didn’t think to get a Fruit by the Foot). Well done.

Look at that; they’re teeny tiny and off to the side! Before they were left and right of center, more similar to the playback bar on the IPhone lock screen. Now they’re little toy. Hope my favorite pod catcher app fixes this obviously bad choice pretty quick!

The left half of the bar is the scrolling title of the episode playing above a time progress bar, while on the right, smaller than a thumb tap size, are the Rewind, Pause, and Advance buttons.

And people say there’s no good news anymore:

In this year’s governor’s race, no official challenges were made against any candidate’s nominating papers. But left-wing political gadfly and Minocqua Brewing Company owner Kirk Bangstad was officially denied access to the ballot Tuesday after the commission voted to certify that he only turned in 1,504 of the required 2,000 valid signatures.

Bangstad’s initial nominating papers had a number of problems, including circulators omitting their municipality of residence and missing or incorrect dates. Bangstad filed 15 affidavits in an effort to correct his errors, but WEC did not agree that the errors were fixed.

May I introduce you to my thumb? Although he looks an awful lot like the newly minted Texas GOP Senate candidate, that’s where the similarities end. Look at this guy! He just has that charm, that sparkle, that charisma! He could sell Henry Ford a used Chevy!

We have a leaked photo of that moment from the call:

In a scene from the South Park episode “Fun with Veal” S6 E4, FBI Negotiator Glen Dumont stands center in front of an FBI Negotiation Squad van, door open, showing an agent at a control center within. Glen holds a red phone to his right ear and is flanked by 2 FBI agents. For our purposes, the agent on the left has had his head replaced with Jared Kushner with “JARED” over his FBI jacket patch, and on the right, Steve Witkof’s head on the agent with “STEVE” on his jacket. Glen’s FBI blazer patch now says “BEST Negotiator” as he is our parallel for President Donny Deals.

They were 1-2-4-6 on the ballot and had signs pro them as that grouping throughout town. The geniuses also had to slap a hand written banner atop that specifying that the numbers were ballot positions. Crude, laughable, yet effective. I saw near zero calling their BS out.

I most recently remember Tom Tiffany spewing anti-immigrant slander on Channel 12’s Upfront (and receiving no pushback or follow up on the “incident” in Prairie du Chien he mentioned ).
