“As a mother and a grandmother I am expected to do a lot of casual sex acts in public” Twenty years ago, I sucked and fucked my way through half of broadway and no one gave a shit!

I will never in my entire life totally understand people who support Donald Trump theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
Image It’s not like this is even a particularly shocking, rare, or hard to believe Trump tale. There are a zillion stories of him acting exactly like this over and over!

I would love to read a 10,000 word behind the scenes tick tock about how the military decided that it was worth it to ask the public if they'd seen their missing jet nbcnews.com/news/us-news/f… there must have been some general who was like "look, we have nothing to gain from crowdsourcing this. if someone finds it, we're going to hear about it." and then some other general said, "no, Gary, you fucking idiot. We cannot count on that."

Lauren Boebert getting her tits yanked while she jerks off her bf at Beetlejuice the Musical is a great test of the “you can measure the health of a society in how able it is to laugh at something without getting mad about it” standard. I can’t pretend to be outraged about this. It’s deeply funny. I’m really not a fan of hers for other reasons but this is just a super funny way to start the weekend.

I refuse to accept this one. There are lots of ways in which I have deviated from the left, but in the case of the criminal justice system, I am the one who has traditional liberal instincts!!!

It's the current left that has gone batshit about this stuff Image im sorry if i am breaking with liberals by believing that not everyone necessarily deserves the maximum prison sentence, and that people should be allowed to ask for leniency for friends and loved ones even if they've done heinous crimes!

This tweet isn’t going to make me any friends but this Blind Side conservatorship thing has all the tell tale signs of a story people should wait for more information about.

Taking lawsuit allegations at face value ✔️
Reinforces longstanding cultural critiques of the film ✔️ Genuine weirdness that needs to be explained (the conservatorship being in place at all) ✔️

The fact that the dispute is about things for which there are objective records (the payments for the book and movie) ✔️

I am a masochist so I googled for the whole post and it is really funny. Here are some other funny screenshots… https://t.co/rxy1goLzX6bookriot.com/overrated-lite…
“Let’s just say that anything On The Road was going to subvert can stay in the ‘50s where it belongs!” Image

If there were an alert—not that there would necessarily be an alert—that an ICBM was heading towards the United States, since they carry multiple warheads we’d assume NY, DC, Boston, and Philadelphia have 30 minutes to live. And I bet those 30 minutes would be fucking wild, yo. I guess people try to flee but I think modern hydrogen are really big and you’re probably not going to escape the blast. Your not even getting across midtown in 30 minutes.

If you think that Wolf of Wall Street “lionises” [sic] the hero, you deserve to have your money taken from you on penny stocks. I rewatched Wolf of Wall Street a few days ago and, like, it literally starts with him framing the entire story through unreliable means by changing the color of his car.

Kevin Spacey was found not guilty in this trial in the UK. I don’t know anything about the charges but I know he is a sexual predator who molested my brother. I sincerely doubt it’s in the cards but if he does get rehabilitated into hollywood, I will lose it. I don’t give a shit if he gets work in France or whatever but if he is offered a job for a major studio in LA and is invited to join Star Wars or whatever I am going to hit someone in the head with a tire iron.

I gotta say, I hate this so much. It is hard for me to describe how much I hate this massive spherical display. I hate this so much that I am worried my negative thoughts will spill over and make me think less of everyone in this entire region.

This is the first Titan submersible detail that actually does make me wonder if these people had a death wish https://t.co/4o12z6afGeapple.news/AfWfPSDhDSzarA…
Like, the fact that they used a PlayStation controller, doesn’t seam that crazy, but the fact that that controller was connected thru Bluetooth makes me think that these people wanted to die.

people want you to interview this infamous whacko whose uncle was JFK (the president) & whose dad was also an important political figure. If that doesn’t ring a bell, you actually already had him on your show once to spread dangerous unchallenged nonsense https://t.co/0TK6p0JVdbcc.com/video/uwf623/t…
Before any of you try to tell me that in 2005 it was not yet clear that the “vaccines cause autism” thing was total bullshit, stop. By 2004 the entire Andrew Wakefield Lancet study had already fallen apart and been mostly retracted!

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would require the US Navy and Air Force to fight in ways they have not experienced since WWII csis-website-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/pu… Image The problem basically is that even with really effective air defense, China has so many missiles stockpiled that US bases in Japan and the planes at them are repeatedly leveled in the beginning of a conflict.

There are two types of Jeopardy viewers:

1. Those who watch the show and shout their answers at the screen for every clue

2. Those who spend the entire show shouting, “what, you think you’re better than me?!?!” (I am obviously the second type of viewer. In fact, after a few clues I completely check out from that part of the game and just glare at the nerds and imagine luring them into an alley and mugging them)

Does no one have the guts to edit Scorsese??? That pelican looks like it’s up to something nefarious.

I don’t know the answer to this. Probably the time I said people in wheelchairs aren’t worth inviting to orgies? Although the story hunting a drug-addict with a paintball gun definitely has had longer legs. People still tweet at me about it.

Thanks but the real travel tip is don’t go to places where this could ever come up Image In the movie Black Beauty, this kid is on a ship and it sinks and he wakes up alone on a beach and this cobra is about to attack him and then Black Beauty, a horse, stomps the snake to death.

A shipwreck is the only way I am ending up on a beach like that.

This Glenn Beck clip about the Nazis is crazy and offensive and historically inaccurate but mostly it’s just confusing. What the fuck are you talking about dude I don’t think we do have to hand it to Josef Mengale for starting “from a place of compassion”
