(h/t, Elephants Gerald) || A philosopher speaks. || Hair salon scenes. || Ladies, she will take him. || “It’s so amazing to buy tampons,” says he. || She can’t get her doctor to put on a mask. || Meat. || Mortified. || Coin operated mortuary automaton. || The contraptions of Dr Kellogg. || I have questions. || He works in a gas station. || Incoming. || Incoming 2. || The little, little kids. || It’s scholarly and profound, but you mustn’t look at it. || Also scholarly – and taxpayer funded. || 69p. || Parking is hard. || He teleported. || A preference for tidiness. || To put you in a festive mood. || The years just fell away. || Less effort than walking. || And when an outside loo just won’t do, 1967.

Clever idea, but multiple sets will be required to get the attention of illegal immigrant truck drivers.

That long ago?
Mass Shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island. Two dead. Killer, a man dressed in black, is still at large.
Those who, for their own convenience, think nothing of stealing the property of other’s differ from socialists how?

I think she was being sarcastic or facetious or…something. She’s somewhat regular on the Guttfeld! show. Kind of a schtick she has. I find her a bit annoying.
Tomorrow
Imagine MY surprise.
Hey, a girl’s got to have interests.
Not entirely unfair.
Problem is, as usual, she has her “facts” wrong. Jingle Bells is indeed racist, but for other reasons.

Also Christianity while we are at it.
It’s as if these people live in some bubble of outright fictions. That, or they’re just pathological liars.
Embrace the power of “and”, David.

Heh.
I could have named a more recent time, but I omitted all the decades in between because they encompassed the slow process of learning so many unpleasant things.
To borrow an expression a commenter posted here recently, his face is asking for a brick–or, rather, a pallet of bricks.
The United Nations: “Beware our unenforceable resolutions!”
Their lies will become truth and your truth will be lies, depending on which get repeated loudest, most frequently, and with greatest backing of the “authorities”. Such it has always been, until the Gods of the Copybook Headings show up. But that can take generations. Centuries. If ever.
Stanley Baxter? Have I missed something worth tracking down?
Once again, someone confused ‘help’ with ‘smite’.
English major. I didn’t waste my time on the math, I just got it from context.
Every millimeter of his face screams “red flag!”
What is wrong with these people?
He’s the living embodiment of various memes.
But I can cure him, says Pinochet as he orders more helicopters.
You spelled “textbook example of a psychopathic groomer” wrong.
Hey, in light of the Bondi Beach attack, can anyone think of an example of Jews attacking Muslims outside of the immediate Israel/Palestine area?
I mean, the Muslims are upset by Israel bombing Palestine, so naturally they attack Jews and synagogues in Europe and the Anglosphere.

The Princess Bride
A Few Good Men
Stand by Me

Also, Dick van Dyke just turned 100, and he’s still got all his marbles.
Only marginally more reliable than “people are saying”.
But he’s too old for Lego.
Putz? How about far-left scumbag?
Scumbag made ample contributions to stochastic terrorism.
Well. He had style, but The Princess Bride commits Starship Troopers levels of Not Understanding the Source Material, and Colonel Jessup in A Few Good Men is practically Meme Zero for Straw Man Has a Point.
Did he not understand? Or did he deliberately alter the story?
Hollywood has a long history of making dark stories “nice”.
