took me 5 seconds to web search it, lol.
screenshot of the tweet by Ilhan Omar, taken by current poster (Brian) at 1030am on Sun, Mar 1 on x.com. confirms that the tweet did in fact happen and was not difficult to find.

ah. yes. it is the left that systematically embraces hostile, inflammatory rhetoric. for sure. (picture taken by me in good old Woodinville, WA this morning - lol, the light changed as I took the photo so, no, I wasn't driving or blocking traffic)

why does the "o" in this font look so familiar?!! oooooooh....

this should be the standard description of a Trump event.
screenshot of text from the opinion piece shared by the original post. the text in the screenshot reads as follows: "I'm not going to quote anything Trump said in the interview because it was either too stupid to merit transcription or a mere repetition of the nonsense he spouts at every rally he holds."

zoomed in view of the original screenshot. the zoom highlights that the survey was conducted by "intelligent.com". this seems pretty funny.

this cat committed terrible crimes, including sitting on my lap just when shows were ending - trapping me in place (likely so our other cats could commit war crimes).

I woke up one morning a few weeks ago and my ADHD brain - as I sat up, unprompted - provided the following quote, set to the tune of the Folger's jingle. (my partner was so amused she did a little wood burning present for my birthday)
a photo of a slice of wood that has had a jingle burned into it.

"the best part is waking up is... goddamn it what the fuuuuuck!"

the ad placement is just... lololololol. *chef's kiss*

the original picture of a grumpy / wise looking owl edited to have the iconic text and sword from the first Zelda game.

the text reads: "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."

the sword is placed as if it is being offered to you as you start an adventure.

I can't explain it properly, but somehow that guy is playing both people in this classic meme. or perhaps my brain is very tired. lol. I'll let you judge.
edited version of a famous me.

a peasant on the left usually says "we should improve society somewhat."

on the right, a modern looking debate bro usually is popping out of a well and saying "yet you participate in society. curious! I am very intelligent."

the text has been edited so the peasant says "Chad is dogmatically anarchist" and the debate bro says "Yet he uses a lawyer. Curious! I am very intelligent."
