I've got a foolproof weight loss system that's GUARANTEED to work. Simply write down your current weight (88 kilos) and your target weight (85 kilos). Then do the math to find how many kilos you want to lose (88-85 = 3 kilos) and then poop that much.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

"I'm progressive, but the ethnic cleansing of these brown-skinned poors over here here is just fine because nuance. Do you even nuance, bro?"

I see progressive-except-Palestine liberals blaming Democrats for losing elections because they voiced support for Palestine and calling them antisemitic for it. I don’t have a lot of words for this one. I just hate all of it.

So tired of waking up every day and the news is like, “President Trump signed an executive order called the ‘Anatomical Truth Act’ that declares pee is stored in the balls.”

This is a theft from society. That money could be used for good causes instead of causing harm. I've seen this in some of the worst developing countries, which is where the US is headed: more and more money is poured into security, the wealth gap widens, there's more crime, and the cycle repeats.

This cartoon from the time I think captures the essence of what was going on then and why we're here now. The Ds were (and are) determined to run tepid "take the centre" campaigns since populist goals don't align with those of big money donors who provide a disproportionate part of campaign funding.

Es wird Zeit, dass alle Politiker 1 Jahr lang Vollzeit in der Pflege arbeiten, zum Mindestlohn, ohne irgendwelche Nebeneinkünfte. Erst dann sollten sie über das Leben anderer entscheiden dürfen.

The Shompen tribe has rejected the Great Nicobar Project, yet the govt continues to silence their voice. This 72,000 crore project threatens to destroy forests, Indigenous lives & nature. We demand its immediate halt & the public release of all related reports.

True enough. But if you look at what the US did after WW2, it continuously supported dictatorships and authoritarian governments around the world, even while allied with liberal democracies. So the US ending with the kind of government it thoughtlessly imposed on others is really poetic justice.
