That's when things get dangerous: when aristocrats grow bored with leisure and mobilize their inherited capital to change the way we all live. Billionaire dilettantes are weapons of mass destruction, and their special projects have a wide blast radius and inflict a *lot* of collateral damage. 33/

If fresh, uncooked food becomes dangerous, then safely feeding yourself and your family becomes more expensive in terms of both effort and money. Food safety deregulation is a mass weapon of class war.

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Sorry to lib out but I guess my thought on the Fourth is that if it wasn’t possible for this country to really be an egalitarian multiracial democracy someday, the most disgusting people alive wouldn’t be trying so hard to foreclose that possibility

Ha ha I hate it here
From the New York Times:

It is a chaotic scene on the National Mall.
Several hundred people have refused to leave despite an order to evacuate because of severe inclement weather that is approaching. Some are even arguing with Secret Service agents. At one point, a crowd of people began running back toward the stage. An officer is sternly repeating the order over a bullhorn and the crowd is booing. Many have begun chanting "U.S.A., U.S.A." A federal law enforcement officer is trying to assure people that the event has not been canceled. Many are not convinced.
One man walking by blamed the situation on "liberals in the weather service," adding,
"I think this is baloney."

We're constantly told that women can never compete with men and yet Kelsey Pfendler is about to set the record for the fastest solo row from California to Hawaii, beating the men's record by a full week. What an incredible feat of athleticism, endurance, and grit.
A promotional graphic featuring a photograph of a woman, Kelsey Pfendler, rowing a specialized ocean rowboat alone on open water under an overcast sky. The white boat is designed for long distances, featuring enclosed cabins at the bow and stern, solar panels on the rear cabin, and various mounted navigational antennas. The hull is decorated with vibrant pink, purple, and blue swirling wave graphics.
​Several sponsor logos are visible along the side of the boat, including Pasha Hawaii, Hatch River Expeditions, Concept2, Güntner, and the cursive Lily logo near the stern.
​Text overlaid on the image reads:

THE VATICAN IS CALLING IT A SCHISM I REPEAT HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SCHISM
Therefore, this Dicastery, in the faithful exercise of the functions entrusted to it, considers it necessary to state that this act constituted the delict of schism, with the canonical consequences for the sacred ministers and lay faithful involved. Indeed, as was already declared in 1988, "such disobedience-which implies in practice the rejection of the Roman primacy—constitutes a schismatic act" (cf. John Paul II, Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei, 3).

I don't know if you've heard but the Catholic Church officially has a schism! Go read @clairewillett.bsky.so 's feed, where she covers everything from the excommunication of the St. Pius X members to Mel Gibson's current religious status. Honestly, I'm out of breath from the whole thing.

I was looking at the recent special elections and if the GOP turned +18 districts into three +6 districts, for instance...that might've been a mistake. I'm looking at 2024 +15 GOP for the GOP to win outright on average. This could go very badly for them in November if things don't markedly improve.
