  • I’m no George Carlin, so I guess you’ll need to go slowly when you explain to me which part of this is supposed to be the punchline and why.

    1. Various conservative extremists do a bunch of domestic terrorism.
    2. People point out that a bunch of domestic terrorism is being done by conservative extremists.
    3. CPAC, which is like the San Diego Comiccon of conservatives says “We are all domestic terrorists”.

    The implication is that they are doing an “I’m Spartacus!” to stand with these extremists rather than distancing themselves from them. So they either want those extremists to feel welcome in their tent for what can only be horrifying reasons, or they’re just trying to be edgy xhardcorex tweens to bait a reaction aka “trigger the libs lol”. But nobody is triggered. Instead people are just kinda pointing and going “those weirdos are just shamelessly admitting to being on board with killing people to get their way?” Because most people are not chronically online. Most people probably don’t pay that much attention to politics. So when they see one party openly admitting to doing terrorism in a post 9/11 world, they are rightfully confused. Even moreso when that same party is remaining fairly successful. Sidenote: remember when the Dixie Chicks got cancelled by the right for saying they were ashamed that Bush was from Texas right as we were gearing up to invade Iraq under intentionally misleading pretenses? Not really relevant to this, just remembered it while thinking about how fucking weird everybody got right after 9/11. Freedom fries and shit. Cringe.








  • And then a sharp turn back to wanting blood again now that there’s a report that the alleged shooter was “living with his trans partner” or whatever.

    Like, just be mad that somebody shot somebody. Isn’t that a lot easier? Why complicate this so much? Be this mad when Kirk or Trump or Dems or schoolchildren get shot. It’s all bad and should piss you off, and it’s weird that this would piss you off dependent on who shot him and why, yet school shootings never seem to move the needle at all.


  • Literally toddler brain. YMCA is his Baby Shark. He throws a tantrum in his high chair, so we play his favorite song so he calms down and dances. Remember when he completely halted a Q&A so he could make a crowd listen to Ave Maria 3 times in a row and then just dance to a couple more songs and then left? He’s just a spoiled brat toddler, but when he doesn’t get his way, he illegally orders firings and kidnappings and deaths. He has this power because we give him this power, and I have no fucking clue why anybody entertains his orders.

    It’s that Twilight Zone episode where that kid has god powers and disappears people when they criticize him, so the town just does and says anything to appease him even if he’s fucking shit up because he’s a stupid little kid and doesn’t understand that he’s fucking shit up. But our stupid little kid president doesn’t have god powers. He has brain damage. And it’s absolutely insane to me that nobody is seriously talking about this and it’s horrifying.

    Keep pushing on the Epstein files. It gave him a stroke and got a propagandist killed. It’s clearly a sore spot to them.






  • I can’t find video since everything is flooded with news people talking about it and won’t show the actual footage. Got a link?

    Edit: found one on mastodon. It’s extremely NSFL. Do not watch if even remotely squeamish. I fucking hate that motherfucker and it was still pretty tough to watch. Very lights-out.






  • And so now you’ve learned that you need to regularly flush the water heater and change out the anode rod every few years, right? I just bought my first house. Hot water wasn’t working right. Heating element was dead. Why? There was so much scale that the lower element was covered in it. Replaced the element, flushed as much out as I could reasonably remove, and then flushed again six months later while replacing the anode rod. This keeps the corrosion at bay.


  • Fahrenheit used the temperature of the human body to create his system, which makes a lot more sense than other systems.

    What is 0°F in terms of the human body? I’m guessing that 100°F is supposed to be a normal human body temperature, but in reality that will vary from person to person and everybody I’ve met is usually 97-99 unless they have a fever.
    In Celsius/Centigrade, 0° is the freezing point of water at 1 atmosphere of pressure, and 100° is the boiling point.
    In Kelvin, 0 is absolute zero, and it scales with Celsius/Centigrade because anchoring it to water just makes sense.

    Fahrenheit is fucking silly and people only defend it because it’s what they were familiar with growing up, so they teach the next generation the same thing, thus perpetuating the cycle of tradition for the sake of tradition.
