Ohio man jailed for texting Shrek’s penis to a state senator. Your questions about Shrexting, answered.
An Ohio blogger spent 23 hours in jail after texting a senator a crude Shrek meme. Can political mockery be prosecuted? The First Amendment weighs in.

I think it’s because secession has always been a red thing in California (the Republican areas in the northeast want to secede from democratic California and form their own state) and that poisoned the secession well

I respect open marriages, but everytime a married guy on the apps hits me up to be like "I'm looking for something on the third tuesday of the month when my husband's bookclub meets" rather than "I'm looking for now" I think they should have to put a quarter in a jar or something

Trump is running his illegal ad in the DC media market, which is a baffling choice for a wide variety of reasons. Just fully an in-kind to Eugene Vindman
