Yes, from a lamppost might be easier, but on the other hand, from here it 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be a more impressive warning and deterrent for the future. (Before being razed, of course.)

a 250-foot-tall, white (with tacky gold trim and embellishments – including lions!) Triumphal Arch.

Too many people have little to no real media literacy. Unless someone points out the (what should be obvious) symbolism and metaphor, they view these shows/movies simply as "pew pew! boom boom! funny aliens! cool tech!"

Before, I would have doubted it was possible, but I guess if you can bankrupt multiple casinos, you can also fuck up surrendering.

With Trump planning to bomb Iran's bridges and power plants, it seems that infrastructure week is finally here.

It's my understanding that Spooky Stephen had Danger Yam call Krusti Gnome and get her to befriend the now-jobless Pammy Jo with an offer of drinks and a girls-only spa day at the gravel pit.

I'm pissed that so many of our elected officials think party allegiance is more important than constituent allegiance. That fidelity to the constitution is nothing compared to fidelity to the president. That political power is superior to moral clarity.

Two countries that don't feel bound by any of the laws they expect from the rest of the world launched an illegal war of aggression six months after they cut back just a little on the genocide they were committing, and now the world economy is fucked We should've stopped them at the genocide

When future historians, sociologists, and other academic types study the currently unfolding slow-mo inevitability of war escalation, do you think it'll be called World War 3 or something more descriptive like The Pedophile Wars?

The Constitution is a document. Its power was always a collective agreement, a shared decision to be bound by it. What you're witnessing in real time is what happens when one faction decides to simply... stop being bound by it, and discovers that the consequences they were told would follow, don't.

After seeing clips of Stephen Miller barking supremacist assertions on TV and reading some of his typewritten screams into the Everything App Void, I've come to realize that he thinks that subtext is for pussies.
