When my dad was a MCT instructor he would often Strategically Transfer Equipment to an Alternate Location so we always had boxes of MREs at the house. I think the worst ones were the ones that had ground beef in them, most of the chicken ones were pretty good lol

Trump's weak efforts to distance himself from Project 2025 aren't convincing anyone (except credulous headline writers.)

But Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes are angry anyway.

The new MAGA fight is over whether it's time to come out about being fascist.

It always boggles the mind when I suggest to most relatively normal conservatives that those people don't actually believe in anything other than personal gain. They assume that because they parrot their values, they must be as principled as them. They can't see the grifts happening

Reps. Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush and AOC have all put out "Biden is the nominee, support him" statements. The left-most part of the Democratic Party fighting to keep him while the right-most part—centrists, swing district Reps, NeverTrumpers, etc.—push for him to drop out was not on many Bingo cards.

If we don't have anything, we can always rest easy knowing that so many people on the ground level for the right are unapproachable weirdos who are incapable of having a normal conversation with the average person because they think they're inherently super to any stranger

I tend to be pretty accurate with my predictions and one thing I'm fairly confident of, this man is not winning. If it was him vs Roy Cooper I'd be willing to bet every dollar I have on it, but even so, he's washed. If I'm wrong though, I'll need to find a new state lol

Apparently the government of the Yucatán recently erected a Poseidon statue on one of their major beaches. It’s a very heavily Mayan area, where people still pray to Chaac, the god of rainfall. They’re now being slammed with 3 hurricanes and significant flooding, leading to memes like this

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.
