  1. What a weekend! Not bad for a bye week.
  2. You know what pregnant women and babies actually shouldn't take? Ibuprofen. But what do you think the fucking morons who cling to this dipshit's every word are going to do when they accidentally drop baby Cletus on his head? Reach for the Advil and fuck the poor kid's kidneys.
  3. The Atlantic is really channeling their inner Anastasis today.
  4. My mom worked as a high school teacher for a while and her buddy in the chemistry department blamed affirmative action for denying him a spot in med school. My immediate response to this at the time was "How the fuck would he know that?" I'm sure he treated all of his students equally...
  5. I roadtripped out there with my buddies and again with my wife in '13 and '16. I remember thinking Oregonians all drove like grandmas compared to the psychopaths in Texas cities.
  6. It is hilarious, and captures the hobby perfectly.
  7. My wife and I don't speak another language, we have no first-degree relatives in other countries and our jobs as mid-levels don't travel well. Our financial situation makes it basically impossible currently, but that may change in the next few years. I don't know how or where, and I don't know what it would mean for our kids (3 & 1), but I'm giving serious thought to getting the fuck out of here.
  8. Well, I like to check out by escaping into nature. Unfortunately, I am all too aware that the little remaining nature that exists is being fast-tracked for destruction.
  9. Yea, I have moments of joy with my wife and kids. But I don't know if I've truly felt carefree since 2016.
  10. Perhaps you haven't received the memo, but only old, white dudes are capable of determining what is actually racist.
  11. Meanwhile, Brian Kilmeade still has a job.
  12. I was aware that the internet was a fucked up place for kids. But my boys are only 3 and 1, and the only other kid I regularly interact with is my 15 year-old nephew, who is at least pretty tame outwardly. Learning some of the specifics of the shit they are exposed to is terrifying. I'm only 37, but I'm starting to feel old as fuck. The world is becoming entirely foreign to me.
  13. Definitely a "mild" summer, but I'm ready to be able to walk around after 10 AM without sweating my ass off. A few days in Marfa/Fort Davis in a couple weeks looks like it will be pretty comfortable, at least.
  14. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/09/16/nx-s1-5542405/rfk-jr-acip-vaccine-advisory-panel-vote-delay-hepatitis-b-shot-in-infants
  15. Targeting anyone with hate speech, or just white, conservative snowflakes?
  16. Haynes King is fun to watch. Glad he transferred.
  17. He told large swaths of people that they were inferior because of their race, gender, sexuality, immigration status or religion, but he did so respectfully!
  18. What was it like being able to confidently plan for the future? Especially as a Texas resident with two young kids, I find this incredibly difficult to do. My wife and I have valuable skills, but the mid-level healthcare worker designation doesn't necessarily travel outside the country well. Domestic stability seems like it would have been pretty cool to experience past my 20's.
  19. Pretty much every week something happens to make me question my sanity. When I think that 100 MILLION adult US citizens think everything happening is all well and good or don't care enough to do the bare minimum to try and prevent this spiral, it seems equally likely that I've just lost my mind.
  20. This lionization of Kirk by even non-conservative politicians and media members is fucking disgusting and has to be incredibly insulting to gays, women, minorities, non-Christians and immigrants. Not celebrating the killing is obviously good, but this wasn't some hero that died. What the fuck

    Must be fucking nice
  22. Why isn't Trump arresting all these murderous Antifa? DO SOMETHING!!!!
  23. Yea, I don't see this going particularly well for any of us. If Trump sent the National Guard to DC because Big Balls got a bloody nose, what's his response to this going to be? Not to mention the crazies, and the retaliation to the retaliation, and so on. As others mentioned on the Kirk thread, Trump didn't get seriously injured and the Minnesota pols were not well known prior to their assassinations. Kirk clearly has a huge following of young men who feel disadvantaged in a culture obsessed with guns. I can really see this event cranking things up to 11.
  24. Trump truthed he's dead.
  25. Well that was a disturbing visit.
