You know how if you knowingly and intentionally get drunk and then get behind the wheel and kill someone, you can’t use your impairment to claim that you didn’t “intend” to kill anyone because you weren’t impaired when you made the decision to drink in the first place?

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Okay, seriously, I know I’m a male, but in what f*cking universe is it logical even to consider not wanting to “ruin a guy’s life” when determining the penalty for him raping a woman and thereby ruining her life?

The Dictator-in-Chief does something terrible just because he feels like it, not only breaking the letter of the law but also openly violating the Constitution, and dares Congress and the courts to do anything to stop him. Again. Must be a day ending in Y.

The Latin verb for “to learn” is “discere.” The Latin noun for “the underworld” is “infernus.” Accordingly, “I learn for the Hell of it” in Latin is “disco inferno.”

But Dear Leader says I’m doing great, and he’s an economic genius, and anyway it’s all Biden’s fault, not his, so…”

On Bisexual Visibility Day, all the cool queer kids know that La Maupin was the original disaster bisexual in 17th century France -- more "disaster" because she killed men in duels. But, you say, where are all the books about her? RIGHT HERE, BITCHES. ↙️

Still old enough to remember when the big selling point for cable over regular TV was that TV is “free” because the ads pay for it, so when you pay for cable there are no ads.

Dictator Donny has already refused (repeatedly) to reaffirm NATO’s Collective Defense clause. He’s threatened to pull the U.S. out of NATO. And now he’s depleted U.S. munitions so badly on Iran that the U.S. wouldn’t be able to do anything anyway. So yes, please, set up a working alternative.

An official government report confirms what everybody’s said for weeks (only Hegseth and the Liar-in-Chief deny it): the Iran “Not a War”—which has accomplished nothing and made the world worse in every measurable way—has also left US munitions severely depleted. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Because I am a cynic, I should point out that there is literally nothing preventing the Fascist-in-Chief and his USPS toadies from saying, “That’s nice, SCOTUS,” and just refusing to deliver mailed ballots anyway. Once the election’s over and it’s too late, maybe someone gets held in contempt.
