Shane Gillis is such an interesting case, because you have this guy who is unfunny, but also: he's bad-looking

Unfortunately the states that should be getting the message don't care. For anti-choicers, the untimely deaths of women have always been considered a reasonable price to pay to keep them under control.

Have you ever used an air fryer on your peppers, tomatillos, garlic, onions, etc. to roast/char them before the Cuisinart phase? Wondering if that's a worthwhile shortcut.

I dunno, the vampire-ometer is pegging for Charlie Kirk Hat Chick in the back on the left. Blue-white skin tone and red eyes.

Thanks for this. I've seen this reposted everywhere and can't confirm it with legit news. I mean nobody would be surprised if Trump said it, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

You're right! I apologize for telling you to set flaps at 40 on approach. You'll need to increase speed to 300 for landing. You're right! The tires are only rated for 225. I'm very sorry for the error.

You might also be able to get the tetanus vaccine if you ask your primary care doc's office to set it up at your next regular appointment, so you only pay one copay for both the doctor visit and the vaccine together. The current system is an utter disaster, for sure.

I never use voice or AI assistants, though I've accidentally turned the voice assistant on a lot. (They want you to use voice and AI with a ferocity, and put the controls right under-thumb where I don't want them.) I'll use Google and occasionally cross-ref with DuckDuckGo. Mostly on my phone.

❌️ Using USPS to mail your ballot this fall ✅️ Using an official ballot drop box for your local municipality, or taking your ballot directly to your county elections office

The pic is of one of the closest county ballot boxes to where I live. 🎉 I urge anyone who would normally mail their ballots to drop it in one of their municipality's ballot boxes instead. If you don't have those, take it directly to your county's elections office. *Don't use USPS.*

Sure-fire way to check is whisper in his ear that there'll be a vote today on the (made-up) bill for a national free school lunch program. If he's alive he will break the fucking sound barrier to get to the Chamber to vote it down.

I don't know why everyone's calculating how they can disable the robot. ICE will likely shoot it themselves. It's what they do.

In the swirl of media speculation and scandal around Trump aide and "human printer" Natalie Harp, I caution that Harp isn't the one Ossoff or anyone else should be directing their darts at. Remember who holds the power and is making the calls here. Harp is just a deluded cultist. Don't Lewinsky her.

Why Did Trump Lose It Over Natalie Harp—and Who Is She, Anyway? Unfortunately, I’ve Learned Too Much.
It’s not anything so obvious as an affair. It’s somehow worse.

Struggle is real, every morning.
At left is a human, male cartoon figure with dark brown hair, a dark brown goatee, and short white horns on his forehead like a Pan, devil, or centaur figure. He stands in a lush wooded area and holds out a red apple in each hand. Meme text over the left apple reads "Put pants on and get things done". Text over the right apple reads "Not do that".

On the plus side, he's one good scare away from the hereafter. Perhaps somebody could simply stand behind him in the queue of one of these government offices, wearing, say, the Frank the Rabbit costume from Donnie Darko.

They actually have multiple brands. People have posted extensive lists in comments in this thread. Basically your options are grow your own, or buy whole produce from farmers markets and co-ops, and do the cutting/prep yourself. Which is not easy or affordable for everyone.

They always assume nobody on the left has guns, and I don't know why. We just don't make them our entire gortdam personality. Also if there's a loud noise at night there's a 99.997% probability that it's a cat knocking something over.

I love how there are only two paths: shameless hoein' Jezebel, and patriarchal erasure with endless domestic drudgery. That's it, ladies! No careers in teaching or medicine or engineering, no running restaurants or flight schools, just Madonna or Wh¤re, those are the 2 flavors you get, no swirls.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an old man lies in a hospice bed, glancing out the window as day breaks. There is a woman asleep on a small couch next to him. The man thinks to himself, “dang, that was stressful. Wouldn’t mind a chill one next time.” Panel 2: the cycle of death and rebirth continues on, represented by the samsara wheel of life, along with splash text which reads: REINCARNATE-O! Panel 3: a solitary duck swims peacefully along the water. It thinks to itself, “nice”

She could also *not* stop saying it, and be closer to marriage with someone who treats her like a valuable human being.

They hate women for child support, but states impose a pretty fixed formula for child support based on the father's income. It's state law, and it's based on how much it actually costs to feed and care for children. Too bad they're not rational enough to get that.

The Venn diagram of men who whine about divorce being unfaaaiiirrr and men who refuse to hire a divorce lawyer (because they already know everything and think things will be fine if they just throw a few peanuts at their ex once in a while) is a circle.
