Translation: we couldn't get those files from Stephen Miller because he's too busy reviewing the evidence--with a box of tissues and a bottle of hand lotion.
David Brooks is leaving the NYT. Claims moderate Repukes are dominating American politics with the promotion of big "thinkers" and all because of David Brooks, apparently.
Wow. Moderate Repukes and thinkers? Must be the meds talking.
"When I came to The Times, I set out to promote a moderate conservative political philosophy informed by thinkers like Edmund Burke and Alexander Hamilton. I have been so fantastically successful in bringing people to my point of view that moderate Republicans are now the dominant force in American politics, holding power everywhere from the White House to Gracie Mansion. I figure my work here is done."
"Moderate" Republicans don't do the Hitler salute, shoot American citizens dead in broad daylight while on camera, or start shit with fellow NATO countries. Nice try, Dave.
May your ivory tower have a crack in its foundation the size of the San Andreas Fault.
I wanted a WRX when I was having my midlife crisis about 14 years ago. But it would have been stupid because I'm a mountain person and WRXs aren't mountain cars. So I got a Forester and a divorce. More better
Beloved husband Meccalopolis and I have returned from the beautiful old Masonic hall that houses our radio station, where tonight's A Jet Age Sound paid loving tribute to Sly Dunbar. We titled it Hot You're Hot, which was a perfect follow up to last week's Cold Cold Cold. Speaking of which, it's negative numbers Fahrenheit outside, but the serious moonlight is so bright we didn't use light to guide us on our hike up the driveway. It's quite cozy within, where we just had a savory snack and are sipping adult beverages, while we listen to an album from which we played some cuts on the show. We hope you all enjoyed the movie (and yes, we know Bowie didn't wear a dance belt under those very revealing trousers) as much as we enjoyed playing music over the air. We saw a few deer on the way to the station, and followed a red fox for a bit before s/he turned off the road. Time to lurk. Good night, beloved Wonketteers. We love and appreciate you all and we bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace. Be kind, especially to yourself, and please, please stay safe.
It's just past midnight, and I have encountered an interesting personal development. This might be TMI, so there's your warning.
So obviously I'm on feminizing hormones. I make no secret about it. I take, among other things, estrogen and progesterone. I also take folic acid as though I'm pregnant. About ten minutes ago, I noticed something damp on my shirt and checked it out. I'm now leaking from a new and very unexpected location...and I feel weird about it.
You should see your doctor about that. Milk isn't normally produced unless there's pregnancy. They do tell expecting mothers to take folic acid to help their milk come in, but without a pregnancy...it's strange. It may just be that your hormone levels need adjusting.
Apparently it isn't terribly unusual for people like me. I've just never experienced it before. (A friend in similar circumstances tells me it's kind of expected once hormones reach certain levels.)
That was my take. You're messing around with all kinds of things - for the right reason - so I wouldn't be scared. Do get it checked out, but I'm not surprised.
It's fine. I'm pretty open about being what I am, although I do try to not be annoying. It just seemed apropos for this conversation, so I brought it up. (Full disclosure: I learned all about lactation when I had my birth daughter, back when I still lived as a woman.)
We were talking about this SCTV sketch at lunch today. Decided, along the same lines, someone should do a spoof of someone calling Benihana for delivery. A big truck would pull up and unload a grill and start setting up in your kitchen. Then a few people you don’t know would show up to round out the seating around the grill.
Ask the Crazy Political Folk why do they buy a shit-tonne (Commie unit) of books and stack them in warehouses? Of course, the answer it to get higher sales ratings on [insert name of favorite's] list of best-sellers. Then they give away the overstock and[/or] probably sell it "at a discount." Am I cynical or realistic?
Realistic. I've seen plenty of those books sell "at a discount". We used to charge $2.99 for the hardcovers and $1.99 for the large paperbacks when I worked at Goodwill, so it wouldn't surprise me a bit.
It's Sunday in Chicago, midnight to 5 a.m. Open up a tab to wdcb.org/internet-stream for the great show 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦. From the website description: "𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦 showcases blues as part of a cultural landscape that includes jump and jive, rhythm and blues, swing, doo wop, gospel, comedy, and recitation, and never is the music presented as kitsch or retro fashion in the way that some music has been exploited and trivialized. For host Steve Cushing, the blues is a living African-American tradition with deep roots."

US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that they excluded from the recent Epstein files release images of death, physical abuse, or injury.
I am not comforted by this.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't their call to make.

Wow. Yep, that's definitely what and how it happened, David. Congrats.
Don't break your arm jerking yourself off...
Holy shit, is it the bat guano he snorts? That's some first class delusional thinking
I wish Riley Gaines had been better at swimming so we didn’t have to fucking listen to her
Or worse,… much, much worse….
LOL.
My most depraved dream is to put a WRX engine and turbo into a crosstrek. Sickass little rally freak.

Trump says a team is headed to Iran.
I hope it’s the Florida Panthers
Meal Team 6 again?
It'll be the fucking NY Mets
At least some of 'em would be armed. With baseball bats, but still.
The Mets don't know how to use bats
They can barely play with their balls.

Insider Reveals Plan to CRUSH The GOP In 2026 | Devan Barber
Democracy Docket
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c_gCkgGzQY
Does it include using flamethrowers to get rid of this version of the GOP?
I believe it once I see them crushed.
I want the whole Conan the Barbarian thing: crushed, driven before me, lamentations of their women. The works.

So... apparently epstein was talking with the owner of 4chan near the start of qanon, and may have helped start it as a sort of DARVO psyop.
Would this be what started the Pizzagate thing, or did that come first? Either way, I can't say I'm surprised.
Potentially.
Brodie's licking the hell out of my hand. Who am I to judge? He seems to be enjoying it.
TCM is showing something about how Totalitarianism is bullshit.
They're subversive and I love them for it.
It's the ultimate in no fun.
This did take a turn and it's a massive anti-soviet thing now
The start was about "a state with one leader is bullshit"
And it ends up with "it could never happen here because we love freedom!"

About ten minutes ago, I noticed something damp on my shirt and checked it out. I'm now leaking from a new and very unexpected location...and I feel weird about it.
I have...milk?
Is that bad? The human body is quite an amazing thing and gender is not all that some fuckwits would have you think it is.
Not bad, just unusual for me. First time it's ever happened.
Get it checked out, but ... I'd say the hormones are working.
You should see your doctor about that. Milk isn't normally produced unless there's pregnancy. They do tell expecting mothers to take folic acid to help their milk come in, but without a pregnancy...it's strange. It may just be that your hormone levels need adjusting.

You just might. As someone on the other side of all this (I'm AFAB, myself), I'm guessing you have not only breast tissue but milk ducts.
It's new to me, and it's just a little weird. And yet exciting at the same time.
Also, forgive me--I had no idea about you, but I'm happy to learn stuff about people, if that makes any sense.
It's fine. I'm pretty open about being what I am, although I do try to not be annoying. It just seemed apropos for this conversation, so I brought it up. (Full disclosure: I learned all about lactation when I had my birth daughter, back when I still lived as a woman.)
Me, I try not to make it my whole personality, but I try to be open about my journey--just hopefully not to the point of being annoying about it.
I, for one, appreciate your honesty about it
Wow
This is freaking funny!

I like how it starts out with a sort of "Office Space" vibe, before going completely off the rails.
New South Park eps killing it.

Why aren't the 70+ million people that voted for yam tits going to Malaria's movie?
They probably think it has subtitles and they ain't readin' for shit.
They're all broke after buying up his scam coin and getting groceries?

I'm just surprised they didn't do it for ticket sales, at least opening night.
Exactly.
Why not hire some drones? Job Creators!
Some of them did downthread
But only in this country here
Two entire countries are smarter - Australia, and South Africa - and banned the showings entirely lol

They may be doing it now. Buying tickets, giving them away, or just letting the seats remain empty.
That's exactly what they do
