That top photo is just beautiful. The handwriting on both signs is so similar – Did the father make both signs? Did the son? Do they just have the same handwriting?
OT: I was checking out a link someone posted downthread and there was an ad targeted at me for the election. "Chris Pappas cosponsored a bill to give amnesty to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS." Source HR 3599.
Dipshits. The bill was sponsored by Maria Elvira, R-FL and cosponsored by 8 other Republicans, including Mike Lawler.
5 days of a firehose of bullshit and lies and racism and misogyny and corruption coming at you thanks to the unfettered money being poured into every corner of politics.
The cult of 'cool' is for assholes who live on social media and the toxic stews of their phones, who never consider other people *or* their feelings and have no idea of what it is to be human.
First of all, all dads are corny. Using the term corn is corny. Secretly, your offspring respect what you're doing but it would be better is you were wearing a tuxedo instead of That Corny Hat. My late father was an honest man and stood upright whenever speaking at a meeting, and his co-workers clearly respected him. 40 years after he died, I still wish we had been friends.
This is a great article, Denny. Often men and boys will dismiss or wave away women's concerns about systemic misogyny and sexual assault when they're not outright denying these problems exist on a large scale. But when a man brings up these issues they're more likely to listen well and think more deeply about these topics, particularly when it comes from a man they admire and look up to. I appreciate you highlighting this subject. It's a very worthy battle to keep on the forefront of salient issues that women face on a daily basis.
As an old white guy, I approve this message. Remember when we used to just try to be decent human beings? Too much to ask, I guess. Anyhoo, to veer wildly off topic ...
Happy Halloween! Hey kids, you wanna see something reeeeally scary? The Davely News has you covered with the greatest horror movie you've (probably) never seen. And there's quite a story about the movie itself too!
That's the Davely News for you. Just writing about whatever and putting it out there, free for you commie Wonkers to seize the means of production and redistribute to the masses! As always, No AI slop, ever! Read, like, share, what have you, it don't cost nothin'!
" Remember when we used to just try to be decent human beings?"
You mean back when Jim Crow -- which Russell Vought & Kevin Roberts & Donald the Racist Trump & all the racist Trumps & everybody who subscribes to the Project 2025 mission even as they lie about never having heard of it -- was a closed fascist state (to which they'd like to return)?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.
Half of these seem to be aimed at the same population of steroid users - and another sure seems to fall under the category of "performance enhancing drug".
ER staffs nationwide need to review the potential DAMAGE done by various peptides in order to provide care for the sick and twisted IDIOTS who play with this shit.
Thank you for teaching your son that being understanding and empathetic to the opposite sex is right and a good thing. It's shocking to me, a child of the 70s, that male/female relationships have gone backwards instead of forwards. I met my to-be husband senior year during college -- we were friends first because we just liked being with each other.
That's how paul and I wound up together. We became friends on smoke breaks at the long-term care center where we were employed. He was more than a tad impressed with my knowledge of electric guitars and heavy metal history.
Let's just say that when he came to my house to visit we both decided to turn up the volume on the music and our relationship [wink-wink/nudgep-nudge].
Texas and Florida are not the only 'shithole' states . . . geez.

"Alabama’s ‘Gulf of America’ Law Kicks In"
“Alabama’s Gulf of America Act officially went into effect today, meaning that state employees – including journalists at some public radio stations – are now required by law to use the term ‘Gulf of America’ rather than ‘Gulf of Mexico,'” AL.com reports."
I used to give advice to guys on how to meet women, but exactly zero of them acted on it so I gave up.
In my lived experience, when I believed I had something to offer, other people believed it too. Be Yourself. Feel your feelings, but take responsibility for your feelings, too. And work on your issues.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Dammit. I was late to the party with my post. Deleting now . . .
Old Rupert twisting the knife.
Scathingly accurate.
Holy crap, that is some A+ trolling. Well done, sir
That's fucking rich!! LMAO!! We're everywhere!!
LOL!
Wut?
Is he part of said cult?
He is not. In the clip, he is wearing a t-shirt that just says "DEATH" in a large font.
No. He managed to say live on TV that Trump supporters are cultists. The Fox guy cut away quickly.
That is hilarious. Thank you!
Ha, no. Master troll. Fox dismissed him very quickly. "Maybe this is not a Trump supporter."
#1 trending on Bluesky, so it's getting a lot of attention.
That was fucking brilliant.
Yup. His look led them to believe one thing and they fell for it. They didn't even need a baited hook, they jumped right in the boat.
Oh, OK! I'll have to watch the clip, LOL!
This is a True and Good thing to say.
You are a Positive Person.
Yaaay! Yaaay!

Darwin will eventually solve the problem. This is one of those moments in time where populations located elsewhere will thrive while we regress.
10,000 years of human history says otherwise.
David Foster Wallace wrote about this, but there's always a paucity of sincerity, especially among the yoots.
And I'm super proud of the paper I wrote on that book for a grad seminar on Theory of the Novel.
Youth is wasted on the young.
When a lack of sincerity reaches critical mass, Ben Folds music comes on. It’s just science.

SQUEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's about time for my every-3-to-4-years' reading of Infinite Jest.
I think it's a masterpiece, but when I revisted his short fiction recently, I found it mostly unreadable.
I'm re-reading "The Brothers Karamazov." After that I won't launch into a big one for a while. Next year could be good for "Jest," though.
I've not read that one. Maybe I should give it a go.
A wonderful read, I have that on my e-reader!
I haven't tried it on an ereader. I wasn't sure how easy it would be to navigate.
Probably easier than trying to wrangle the weight of that huge tome when I'm reading in bed. :/
That and Gravity's Rainbow, MUCH easier to manage on a handheld.

In SW Florida, the nation's and papers refer to it as the gulf.
There's a real Gulf between Trump's expectations and people's preferences on this front.
Alabammy god damn.
Goddamnit, you beat me to it!
Oh, fuck this goddamned fucking shit.
People need to defy this.
Hahahaha, they'll just have to change it back while looking incredibly stupid soon enough.
THIS will surely lower the price of Diesel.
