Why was six afraid of seven? Because 七転八起

Even a broken cock is right twice a day

"Just run for office if u wanna beat fascism," they say

INCREDIBLE Now we don’t know what the inflation rate even fucking IS because a certain pie-faced nazi cracker billionaire thought public workers are wasteful

People seem to forget that cats hear dog whistles just as well if not better

Spacecraft are like people; they are born dying

Support for the actions of Hamas have not materially increased, which sure seems to undercut the narrative that "rising antisemitism" is to blame here

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies
