Fun fact: that event (Hitler’s 1934 purge of Ernst Roehm and the brownshirts) got the name “Night of the Long Knives” because Hitler used the expression (which dates to the middle ages) in a subsequent speech to describe what he alleged Roehm had been planning against Hitler and the Nazi leadership. Unexpectedly, journalists and historians used the expression to label Hitler’s actions.
an election that at this point doesn’t matter either way
It distracts from the one before it and the one after it.
Nah, they all just moved somewhere else. Easy portability is the one upside to homelessness.
HOAs are intended to harass and discriminate against black and brown people so that they don’t move in
Lol I was going to make a joke here about “Redline Homes Inc.” - but it turns out there really is such a company, in Oklahoma of course.
There’s a new-ish genre of Youtubers these days, Arizona home inspectors showing what a gigantic clusterfuck new house construction is there. I can’t decide which is my favorite disaster: exterior walls that are just paper and stucco, or the gas leaks at literally every house. In AZ, the HOAs are the least of people’s problems.
My township finally decided to do something about our homeless problem … by fencing off the area they were congregating in, natch.
Ghislaine Maxwell hasn’t killed herself yet.
defects galore
A friend of mine from high school attended the GM Institute and became an engineer for them. One of his first projects was on a team that bought a Lexus and an Infiniti when they first came on the market and took them apart to see how many production defects they had. He said a typical American car at the time (and this was in the '90s after quality had rebounded somewhat from its disastrous nadir) had 300-400 defects. The Infiniti they took apart had 2. The Lexus had 0.
The point of being an executive is depositing huge checks while serving on the boards of other companies and voting for their executives’ huge checks. Are you new to this planet?
“Nothing’s on purpose, ma’am.”
You condense people into a smaller and smaller space until they produce a black hole - of Calcutta, that is.
She claims that she was never interested in women until she met her current wife. She is the absolute archetype of a butch lesbian so I don’t know what to say about that.
I like how the top Google response to “what are the ten commandments?” lists eleven of them.
Whenever I encounter someone advocating for the Ten Commandments, I always ask them to name all ten. Nobody ever gets them all.
My supervisor is a lesbian who proudly introduces people to her wife, and she is as rabid a Trumper as I’ve ever met. I’ve tried to introduce her to the “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party” concept but she doesn’t understand the point. She has somehow concluded that it is Republicans who have fought for and won gay rights (like the right to marry that she’s a beneficiary of) while Democrats want to take those rights away. I don’t have any idea how somebody gets to a mental state like that - I can’t accuse her of drinking the Kool-Aid because no Republican media says anything like that.
She really hates black people so her basic conservative stance is at least understandable. Except that she talks loudly about how she wants to bang the black guy that delivers our water bottles.
Unidan is taking AIPAC money.
At this point, even if we just get the same shit from a different asshole (which we would), I’d be happy to see conservatives turn on trump. It would just be so satisfying.
