"The Bernie Bros and K-Hive appear to be forming an alliance," I say at the 4th of July cookout. An anvil falls out of the sky directly onto my person, killing me instantly. God appears through the clouds. "I did that," he says. Family and friends applaud politely.

The only way I’ll vote for Newsom for President this cycle is if it’s for President of the California Republic.

It didn’t even need to be fake. He was already head of the CIA when UPC scanners were introduced in grocery stores. Then he was Vice President of the United States. How often does the head of the CIA go grocery shopping? Probably zero times. It was definitely zero times as VP.

To get to his first Presidential Inauguration, Lincoln had to sneak through Baltimore dressed as a woman while being escorted by Allan Pinkerton just to foil an active assassination plot. That makes Maryland part of the South in my book

Ah, I missed the part where you just assumed those countless firms weren’t actually filing. My mistake. You’re right. Kinda dumb to get in on the part of the grift that doesn’t actually make money, but I guess it’s possible.

This isn’t the result of iCloud backups. It’s is fundamental misunderstanding on how iMessage works across multiple devices. Although, ironically, we have since shipped a feature that does exactly what this dude thought was already happening, but was not at the time.

My dad refused to follow the family tradition of my mother by naming his first born son after himself. He was a then 28 year old grown man still getting called “Tommy”. Today, I’d probably be a dude in his mid 40s getting called “Little Tommy”, so I thank him for his decision.

I refuse to believe that 99.9% of the replies are legit. Otherwise they would have long piss and shit themselves to death the first time someone did the ol’ “got yer nose!” trick on them back when they were toddlers, ensuring they could get get worked up on Twitter decades later.

“Trivial” is overstating how difficult this is. Especially looking at how brownwhitelaw.com is configured, assuming that’s where the fake email pretended to be sent from.

Might want to have whomever handles your firm’s email to look into setting up a “strict” DMARC policy.

So, one, threatening someone with a machete does, in fact, remain a crime. But, two, can anyone find any report of someone killing three people in SF with a machete last year? Because I can't.

Well, we might immediately get President Newsom, because why be part of a union if one of the other 49 states can just send in troops to do shit you don't want done. We wouldn't even need to change our flag, it already says "California Republic" right on it.

Not sure "unrest" even begins to describe what would happen if the Texas National Guard was sent into Los Angeles to round up "illegals". Governor Newsom wouldn't even have to activate the CA NG, the LAPD could handle it.
